An Example from Boston.

The value of straightforward.
ness in business probably never
had a more striking illustration
than in the success with which
James l.. Richards has been run
ming the Boston Gas Company.
The price of gas has been going
down and the profits of the bust
ness have been going up. The
public is treated well and the pub
lie is friendly to the company.
More gas is being burned in the
city than ever before. Therefore,
all the gas is cheaper, the receipts
are larger. The customer feels
that he is getting square deal.
Mr.. Richards recently said: Tell
the people the truth, work openly
and they will be just to corpora
tions which follow that policy. :. i.
When dealt with candidly the con-
trolling majority in any American
community will be reasonable. -
The gas situation was in a bad
way in Boston when it was put in
the hands of Mr.. Richards on ac-
count of what he had already done
in managing street cars. His gas
company now has the exclusive
privilege of selling gas in Boston,
and it does not abuse that privi-
lege. When all the companies
were consolidated in 1905 gas was
selling at one dollar. 1t is now
selling at eighty cents. BY the
contract between the city and the
company the rate of dividends
can only 90 up as the price of gas
goes down, and under this ar
rangement there has been an in
crease from seven to nine per
cent. Of course, Mr.. Richards
has more than one kind of ability,
but the ability to recognize the
nature of our public is an impor-
tant one, and he is a leader in the
business of our day when he says:
The more the public knows
about the corporations serving
them the better it will be for both

Autumn.

Now that autumn has come
along, it may be we'll miss the
song of the birds that made the
spring-time fair and sweet; but
though the winds blow keen and
cool, autumn's wealth will be I'M
rolled in gold and shining silver at
our feet. Now that autumn has
come along, still the memory of a
song shall linger like an echo, fair
and fleet. Though the roses leave
their stems, still the rosiest of
gems-and jewels will be scattered
at your feet. When Life's au-
tumn comes along, shall not love
have still a song shall not hearts
that know no changing thrill and
beat, with a later joy supreme,
when they lay US down to dream
with Gods lilies clustering white
at head and feet.

Honesty and Real Estate.

Candor in advertisements, like
anything else, can be satirized, as
it was successfully in a recent car.

adorned with such signs as;
"Scalpine. 1t really doesn't help
the hair, but it smells NICE u
THE Lucy corset costs more but
we can get it," "Scourem a pref

for five cent" THE Middle.
brook Savings Bank pays five and
one-half per cent on deposits. Not
very safe, but you may like TO
take chance" Frankness in adj
vertising is not fad; we could no
more revert to eXaggerations as
extreme as those of old-school adj
vertising than the stage could re-
turn to melodrama as ranting as it
once enjoyed. Some of the most
harmful misrepresentation and
exaggerations nowadays are not
deliberate and malicious, but come
from overenthusiastic town
boosters" BY this situation the
lank shark greatly profits. He
uses local pride in some States as
his shield against investigation;
and sometimes Jealous commercial
clubs and boards of trade thus be-
come his unwary accomplices.
One of our correspondents be-
lieves that nonresident investors
should be protected by investigat-
ing committees from State and
city real estate exchanges. The
advertiser who in his literature or
advertisements or letters would
dare to refer the customer to this
committee would be trusted. by
this means the fraudulent COM
panies could not be endorsed and
could not use the real estate ex-
change for furthering their propo-

Haggin Contract Meets With Ap-
prOydI.

The district board of the Burley
Tobacco Society held its annual
meeting in Lexington, and the
principal business transacted was
the adoption of a number of
amendments to the charter and by
laws of the society to meet the
new conditions which are present
ed under the new plan for a ten
year pool and the establishment of
plan for the manufacture of one
tenth of the tobacco to be pooled.
The conditions agreed to by the
Executive Committee with James
B. Haggin, the New York million
aire, by which Mr.. Haggin enters
the pool and becomes a director in
the manufacturing branch of the
society, were unanimously APP
proved. Much enthusiasm was
shown at the meeting over the
prospects for the new pool and
manufacturing scheme, and also
over the alliance made by the So
ciety with Mr.. Haggin. G. H.
Bergman, manager of Mr.. Hag-
gins Elmendorf Farm, and who
represented his employer at the
meeting. said that the plan of the
tobacco growers having a cooper
alive mandatory had been a pet
idea of Mr.. Haggin for three or
four years.

NO KEY FOR TiMMINs.

"The other night" remarked Mr.
Timmins, deferentially, after he had
waited two hours for an opening
Brown was going home when he
was shot at by footpad."
"Well," said Mrs. Timmins, stern.
ly, "would you expect him to be shot
by policeman or a clergyman"
"No, my DEAR" said Mr.. Tim
minis, "but he'd have been killed il
the bullet hadn't struck a latch key
in his vest pocket"
"Indeed," said Mrs. Timmins. 81
happen to know that he is insured
for 1000, and if he hadn't had that
key his wife would be a rich woman
today. If you're limiting for latch
key, Timmins, you'll have to give
me a better reason than that. Now
I'm going to bed, so if you want tc

MARKET NEWS.
NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Dec. 6.-The cotton
market was less active today and op-
creations seemed to be largely in the
way of evening up for over the APP
preaching government reports Fluctu-
atoms were irregular within a COM
paratiyely narrow range and the close
was steady at net decline or ? at
5 points. The marked opened steady
at a decline of at points in re-
spouse to rather lower cables than
looked for and private messages from
LIVERPOOL indicating thai increased
offerings of actual cotton had check
ed the advance in that market. Right
after the call there was rally OF
3 at points on foreign buying and
covering of shorts, but the south
seemed to be moderate seller here
there was more or less scattering Ii
quidation by recent, buyers Pnd prices
during the middle Of the morning sold
off to net decline OF to points
The market was steadied around this
level by covering and later rallied
several points from the lowest on
the defns.ld from this source in con-
nection with continued foreign buying
and a little support from trade sour
ces. The close was within a point
or two Of the best prices for the
day.
The steadier tone in the late trad
ing may have resulted partially from
the fact that interior shipments for
the day exceeded the receipts, sug-
costing loss of stock at the more
important country towns for the first
time in long while and also BY Tire
.act that southern spot markets off,

the state by appropriate exercises
relating to the planting of trees,
shrubs and vines, and the promo
ton of forest growth and culture, to
the adornment of public and private
grounds, places and ways; and in
such other exercises and undertake
ings as shall be in harmony with
the spirit of the day. An appreci-
alton of the beauty, glories and
value of he vegetable kingdom
should be installed in the hearts
and minds of the younger genera
ton now in our schools. The eX-
ercises Of Arbor day should par
take of such character, and foI
which reason it may happily be
regarded as the most instructive
and charming day of the school
year.

not general holiday, and the APP
plication of this proclamation is
limited to the public schools of Ne,

hereunto set my hand and caused
