A Daring and Rssourcefu' Operator In

John Jacob Aston was born in the 1T
tie village OF Waldorf, in Germany, in
1868, just as France at the close of
the Seven Years war was ceding
Canada to England. He sailed to our
side of the Atlantic in .7S3. when
George III. in the treaty Of Paris was
acknowledging our independence and
when the merchants Of Montreal were
esta blishing the Northwest company.
He became a fur dealer, gradually
gained control Of the trade south Of
Lakes Huron and Superior. except
that which was in the hands Of the
Mackinaw company. and won a repu-
tation as a daring and resourceful op-
orator. which made his name known
in Montreal. st. Louis. London and
Canton.
He had a dozen vessels afoat, repre-
senting a capital of $1,OOO,OOO. carry
ing furs to England and China in
1900. and at the time that the pur-
chase Of Louisiana in 1903 pushed our
boundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success

kindly nature. One day a Hawick an

Tho Man of Leisure.

Most OF our rich men work very hard
not always because they want to- but
in many instances because they have
to. The husbandry Of a big estate In
itself may be task for the whole Of
the time and thought. not Of one man.
but of several. AS general thing it
Is fair to say that our only man Of
leisure is the tramp. The social pariah.
the mutineer against the rule of work.
Is the only one who can be sure Of a
care free. sybaritic existence. and even
he lives in constant danger Of rock salt
from the farmers gun or the onslaught
Of the watchdog around the corner as
the hobo knocks at the kitchen door
or pauses at the water trough to drink.
The poor tramp is certainly a more
frequent social phenomenon than the
rich one.-Philadelphia Ledger.

MANY EVENTS.

On account Of Halloween the social
schedule last week was replete with
many charming parties, luncheons and
dances Among the many charming
events was the dance given by the
members of the Country club October
social committee for the members Of
the club. The affair was also in the
nature of an old fashioned party. The
members Of the Phi Delta Kappa fra
ternity also gave it's annual Hallow-
cen dance in the Odd Fellows hall.
There were several out-of-town guests
who attended the affair. Hicks or
chestra furnished the dance music.

Notes For the Nursery.

Baby should not be set ON hfs legA
too soon. When he feels like it he
will start walking as naturally as any
other little animal does.
Peace at any price Is the motto of
the mother who resorts to the baby
comforter" None the less, to suck
one Of these comforts is a bad habit
difficult to break, and It is as unhy
gien1c as it is Objectionable.
Baby is much happier left in peace
to kick and crow in his cot than If he
is continually being handled. and the
constant nursing some mothers give is
merely gratifying to their own sense
of possession and not comforting to
the child
Oatmeal does not agree with every
child. and when 1t causes heat spots
its use should at once be discontinued.

SOCIAL COMMITTEE.

The November social committee at
the Country club will be made up Of
Miss Edna MCGUIRE, Miss Rose Gen
nett, Miss Mary Gaar. Miss Fannie
Jones who was to have been a member
of the committee has removed from
the city so that another member will
be substituted to assist the committee
in arranging for social events during
the month. The October committee
which was composed of Mrs. James
Carr, Mrs. Charles E. Shiveley, Mrs.
s. f. Swayne and Mrs. Frank Lackey
gave several delightful social events
during the month. Perhaps the most
important social event was the charm
ing Halloween party held last Tues
day evening at the club house.

OF Interest To The Women
Choosing Children's Toys.

A wise choice of toys is a great help
in developing mental powers in chill
dren-not toys already constructed
but those with which things can be
constructed are the best kind. The
rich lid surrounded with numbers Of
elaborate toys has little opportunity
to exercise his skill in invention and
his power OF constructing playthinEs.
Far better or is the poor child who,
with few bits OF wood and cord.
constructs his own toys. The latter
in a few years. with the aid Of hammer
and nails. will exercise his ingenuity
ia constructing all sorts OF mechanical
devices and thus acquire very use
full power in handling tools and the
equally important mental power of
relying on his own skill in providing
himself with whatever he wishes The
results may be crude. but the acQuisi-
ton of this power is glorious achieve

Parents should guard against doing
too much for their children. There

A Hint to Mothers

Children Of nervous temperaments
often become chilled and fretful dur
ing bath. Try bathing the child first
to the elbows and waist line. then dry
ing quickly with a small Turkish tow
ell. Let the child sit in the water dur
ing this part Of the bath. so that the
lower art OF the body may be kept
warm. This keeps away chill. and the
bath can be finished In moment. the
child remaining warm and comfortable
during the entire process. The prac-
tce can even be adopted with excel
lent results by grownups whose cir
culation is tri1e sluggish and who
experience the unpleasant after bath

With a smile that's more than
laughter,
With sigh that's more than
tears,
She has held by heart'strings thrib-

Throbbing through the passing

With a touch that Is OF magic,
With beauty few have known,
First a child and then a woman,
She has held me all her own.

May be all that's left. ! see
Still the raibOw in the sunset
Ere the darkness calls to me!

THANKSGIVING COMES NEXT.

Now that Halloween with it's usual
ly large number of parties and other
social events this year, has passed ov
er, the next holiday to be looked for
ward to is the Thanksgiving-tide,
which is ever SO dear to the hearts
OF the American people. Many family
dinner parties are usually held on
this day and several clubs are now ar
ranging for dances. This is probably
the most looked for holiday of all, ow
ing to the habit that has been made Of
feeding on the choice Of the country's
foods. No doubt it will be a pleasur.
able occasion for the old as we'll as
the young.
It IL q time Of year when nature is
at her best. the low hanging sun she'd
ding it's meager warm rays over the
land and bidding winter fond well
come. The trees shorn Of their beau
teous verdynre and the land waiting
for the tiller of the soil to appear
again with his life producing imple-
ments. the Thanksgiving time has ap-
pealed to all those interested in ma
ture in O way that makes 1t a pleasant
holiday. Mr.. Turkey. who is next in
prominence to the American Eagle in
American minds, will be thought of
more than at any other time. to his
sorrow. but the sacrifice is a we'll
meant one on his part and he goes to
the block as cheerfully as the guests
go to the table to finish him.
Again 1t is the time when the blood
of the young is tingling with the new
sensations Of life and the fall sports
are we'll under way. The colleges
and schools with their thrilling grid
iron warriors sladdening and sorrow
ing the hearts of their favorite friends
by their plays and misplays on the
Drowned fields. II is time when all
is at peace and rest and life is at it's
best Then Hurrah for Thanksgiving,
We're ready.
