1t has been discovered that if a

illness. and not a violent death, he
does not die all over and all at once.
He may have diseased liver, heart
or lung, and this may be the cause
OF his death: but it has been found
that il the diseased organ could have
been replaced by healthy one life
might have been maintained indef-
nitely. This is no Imagination or

Albert Fink, Builder Of Bridges, First
Devised the Cooperative Plan
and Tried IT on Southern
Roads.

The talk was of the strong political
agitation of the past ten years against
railroad pools, and Senator Chauncey
M. Depew remarked that he pre-
sumed that a majority of people of
the United States were Of the opinion
that the railroad pool and co-opera-
ton and community Of interest
among the railroads were modern de-
vices of the able lawyers employed
as counsel by the railroads and adopt
ed by the railroads for the purpose of
getting around the decision of the
Supreme court, in which it declared
that agreements like that of the
Trans-Missouri Traffic association
and the Joint Traffic association of
the trunk lines we're in violation of
the federal statutes.
"Curiously enough, however" con-
tinued Senator Depew, "the man who
worked out the principle of cooper
alton and who created the railway
pool was. in the early part of his ca
reer, associated with the railroads
only as a civil engineer. l mean
Albert Fink. For the first twenty
years of his active life he was a
builder If bridges and constructor
of railway lines, man of science
pure and simple"
In the early eighties l heard from
Mr. Fink himself the story of how
he came to invent the now famous
railroad pool. At that time Mr.. Fink
was man of striking physical
characteristics. His complexion was
swarthy, his eyes were large and very
dark, and the peculiar tint of them
was intensified by heavy overhanging
eyebrows. He wore beard and mus
tache, the beard being no more than
a broad chin whisker. His frame in
dicated great physical strength. He
spoke with a slight German accent,
for he was born in Germany, and re-
ceiyed his scientific education there.
Much of my early railroad work
was in the south, and in the years
prior to the Civil war" said Mr.. Fink,
Il was engaged In building bridges
and constructing railroads, and had
no thought at that time of any ether
professional association with rail-
roads.
after the frightful Generalization
caused by the failure of the Northern
Pacific railroad in 1873, 1t occurred to
me that the policy of excessive COM
petition carried on by railroads was
entirely wrong. I thought that the
railroads of the United States ought
to be able to find some way by
which although earnestly seeking
business, nevertheless they would not
attempt to secure 1t through whole
sale cutting OF rates Furthermore, /
believed that the situation in the
south at that time was especially
favorable to an attempt to work out
a new policy along this line. l was
SO convinced of the accuracy of my
reasoning that I spent year, per-
haps more, upon the problem, and at
last 1 worked out a method Of CO.

Venerable Statesman's Explanation of
Conditions That Made Such Action
Wise or Necessary From
Political Viewpoint.

In the month of January, 1891, | was
n travelling companion of Hannibal
Hamlin of Maine. The ex-vice-presi-
dent of the United States was making
a journey from his home at Bangor,
Me-, to New York in order that he
might take part in the annual celebra-
ton of the Lincoln club of New York
He was at that time almost the sole
survivor of all Of those who had been
intimately associated with President
Lincoln in his first administration
Notwithstanding the Indictment wealth
er and the ripe old age of Mr.. Ham
iin-he was then eighty-two-he ven-
tured to make that journey in order
that he might deliver what he expect
ed would be his last publicly spoken
word to the memory of Abraham Lin
coin.
AS he sat in the smoking compart-
ment of the parlor car putting away at
q fat cigar and a strong one, the

Success of His Only Political Address
Made In Support of Garfield,
Showed Him He Had
Gift for Writing.

The first political speech that Gen
eral Grant ever made-and probably
the only one he ever delivered-was
in support of the candidacy of Gen
eral Garfield in the presidential cam
paign of 1880. That speech was one
of the most conspicuous features of
that election. 1t was delivered at
Warren, Ohio, in September, and
there is living today more than one
old-time campaigner who believes
fully that Grants speech marked the
turning point of the presidential con-
test-that but for it the chances were
that General Hancock, and not Cen
eral Garfield, would have been elected
president
At first, the presidential campaign
of 1880 was, for the Republicans. the
most difficult political proposition
which the party leaders had met
with since the election of 1860 En-
thusiasm was lacking 1t seemed i'm

Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
