Heart toHeart
Talks.

by EDWIN A. NYB.

IhE ROMANCE OF BARBED WIRE.
Mrs. Joe Glidden threatened to do
something outlandish If Joe did not
keep the pigs out of her cabbages and
onions.
mat was back In the sixties.
So one day GIidden drove to the
hamlet OF Dekalb, ILL.,, three miles
distant, with an idea in his head. His
horse had cast a shoe. In the shoe
stuck a nail. Why not stick sharp
nails through wire and thus keep tho
pigs out OF Mrs. Glidden's garden :?
Joe wanted to talk about it with Isaac
Eilwood, the hardware dealer.
Ellwood listened and then said. "If I
get the patent, Joe, will you give me a
half INTEREST,""
Joe agreed.
That evening Isaac Ellwood ex-
planned the idea to his wife, who said:
but the nail slips Take two wires
and twist them around the nail"
Moreover, the bright woman sug-
gested the use of a coffee mill to twist
the wires.
So that next day Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
wood took big coil Of wire and a
new coffee mill from the store and
went out to Joe Ghdden's place.
Glidden fed the wire into the coffee
mill, Ellwood turned the crank. and
Mrs. Glidden stuck in the barbs at the
right time.
That day they made enough barbed
wire to fence one side of Mrs. Gid
den's garden, and, taking a sample.
Ellwood went to Washington.
Which was the beginning of billion
dollar business-the American Steel
and Wire company.
The first machine, an Improvement
over the coffee mill. was set up in the
rear of Ellwood's store Afterward
capitalists bought out Glidden's share.
and the big company was organized.
And the story reads right along Just
as beautifully as before
Glidden got a lot Of money and
stayed in Dekalb. Ellwood became a
muldmillionaire and stayed in De-
kaib. And nobody who really needed
money ever appealed to Mr.. or Mrs.
Ellwood In vain.
Then the other day Mrs. Ellwood
died. And somehow Isaac Ellwood did
not care to live any longer
He called his children about him. d.
vided his fortune, willed large sums to
charity. and a few weeks after his
wife passed away he died.
Which is the end.
And this postscript: In a day when
men are accused Of robbing widows
and orphans and stealing according to
law the story. of Isaac and Mrs. ELL
wood Is one worth while.

one of the few ordained female minis
tiers of the state.
This jury faithfully heard the evil
dence. Some Olympia lawyers say that
1t was the first jury that heard the
evidence they'd ever seen.
This jury retired at 1910 D. m. Ha!
hal we hear you chuckle Five women
locked up to agree on something. Nice
fight! Nice impossibility! Nice thing to
tie up court business for the entire
holiday season! Yes, there was some
discussion. To be honest, we admit
that some of the court attaches say
that language and things came from
that jury room such as had never be-
fore issued from a jury room since the
court house was built
But. Mr.. Know-it- all Man, is exact
ly one hour that jury came in with a
verdict of $10.o5 for the milkman.
Kind of knocks your conceited pre-
conceived ideas of feminine sense and
justice. doesn't it? But you leave most
any matter to decision by five in
telligent women, and they'll do that.
And hence we say that this particular
initiatory demonstration of what the
the staet of Washington is getting by
satnding up for women's rights is of
very high Importance. - Cleveland
