ing at Hemlock Beach, L. l., with his
family, had a narrow escape from

Miss Gladys had swum out to aid
her sister Violet, who was founder
ing in water beyond her depth, and
when the undertow caught the two
girls and carried them out to sea
Mr.. Miller dove into the water to aid
the two. Not being an expert swim
mer, he, too, was carried away, ard
it was only after Charles Quillfeldt,
"a crack rifle shot, who swan out TO
them in answer to their cries, battled
with the tide for half an hour that
the four finally reached safety.
Investigation by a reporter of the
Newark Evening Star showed that
no A. S. Miller lives in Montclair.
Upon communicating with Hemlock
Beach it was learned hal Mr.. Miller
who lives there is not a resident of
Jersey.

Robinson had only SKINNED that
partabout the doing on the farm.
His heart was in the cottage in
the little hamlet where he had
been reared before, to make his
fortune. His tales of success had
been lies, amiably devised for the
sake of the old people.
John Robinson was only TWEEN
ty-four, but he knew that if he
were forty his prospects would be
no brighter. He was just an or
binary, clean-1ninded country
boy, caught in the machinery of
the city, and just earning wage
of eight dollars a week as a gro
GERS clerk. That was as well as
he could do. He might have been
Ia longshoreman, if he were
stronger, and earned a little more,
Tor a street car conductor, or fll
any one of many such positions.
But he saw quite clearly the exact
Limitation of his prospects. He
wished he were back on the farm
again. But he could not swallow
his pride. He had gone off amid
the salutations of the half en-
vious village lads of his own age,
and to go back, would mean a ter
rible downfall in their estimation
and a confession of failure.
A strange and yet familiar smell
assailed his nostrils. OF a sud-
den he realized that he was hun
cry. He had intended to spend
that Thanksgiving day in his
room, resting, and had made a
cheap mess of bacon and eggs,

many respects, he is more American than English in his methods. He was one of the first on this side of the water to rec ognize the efficiency of spending large part of his revenue in intelligent adver- Using Before his time the English man. ufacturer and business man looked upon advertising somewhat as luxury. Lever regarded it first necessity as big bus mess getter and by his advertising cam- paigns soon made Sunlight known from John O'Groats to Land End. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent each year in publicity and the business grew so rapidly that the two brothers soon founc themselves in affluence. Indeed, so pro1it- able has the business been that they are able to look with unconcern upon total expenditure on advertising of something approaching sl50o0.00O
 They established themselves at a place christened Port Sunlight" on the shore of the Mersey, near Birkenhead. rom the first they were ideal employers and the fame of the model community soon spread. Today more than l5,OO0 people are dependent upon tl>e soap factor!es and happier. more contented workmen and workwomen are not TO De louhu any where else in England.
 They own the houses in which they live. thanks to the financial assistance of the Levers, they own their own big amusement hall, which seats almost 300D people, they have their own clubs and ed- ucational centers-in fact. everything that could be done to increase the thrift, intel ligence, happiness and welfare of the Port Sunlight employees has been done by this remarkable man and his brother. Ard what is perhaps almost as important to his employees and even more important to the outside world he has successfully introduced a co-partnership system whicn yields to the workers in his factories q yearly bonus of about 10 per cent of thelr wages-a system based upon rates of wages and years of service and putting a premium upon long and faithful effort.
 So successful has he found his exper ment and so we'll has it stood the test os time that he would like to see it extended to every Industry in England. And his system is being examined with special care now that politicians. employers and employee in every part of Great Britain are ''nirting with the principals of CO., partnership in the hopes that 1t may prove the panacea for present day labor unrest.

people have come in for many miles to buy and sell.
 Guatemala Fruits
 We make our way through the crowd and stroll about in the court There is no place that will give one q better idea of tho richness of Guatemala. The fruits and vegetables are of every description. Here is man selling aguacate, or all- gator pears. You can buy one the size Of a tin cup for q cent and half, and it will make the most delicious salad on earth. The same pear in New York, i'm ported from Florida or Cuba, would cost 50 cents
 See that basket of tomatoes. They arc as big around as basebals, and they cost cents apiece. Beside them are apples of bright yellow color, the shape of Aloemari,. pippins and next them some red onee that remind you of .Riley's poem about the apples and the sum
 And the Winesaps bushed their reddest When he spanked the Pippins ripe.
 And then the pineapples. There are great baskets of them, ranging in size from that of your two fists to a peck measure. l ask for the price and am told they bring from to cents apiece. There are also melons and papayas, whose flesh Is as yellow as gold. The papaya grows on a tree but it looks like a yellow musk melon. Itstastes much the same, but 1t is SO good for digestion that you can mix it with pork, mnee pie or plum pudding and have no nightmare to follow.
 Among the other fruits sold here is the mangosteen, which has red skin and white flesh, and whose taste makes one think of ice cream. There are also ba nanas oranges and lemons and other fruits strange to my eyes.
 The vegetables are of many varieties. There are all kinds of potatoes as well as the yucca. a great root which tastes like the Irish potato, and there are sweet potatoes and vans. There are squashed and cabbages, and, in short vegetables of every climate, from the tropical low iands to the frigid tops of the mountains.
 Scenes at the Restaurants
 But let us go to the meat market and look at the cook shops behind it. There is a half acre of meat peddlers. They are selling beef, pork and mutton cut up in long strips, and hung to iron bars over their heads. The butchers are Indian women, bare-headed, red-faced and black haired. Here is one bringing in a wash tub filled with pork cut in long strings. She hangs them over the rack above her counter like clothes on a line and sells by the strip.
 We go on to the cook shops. They cover half an acre. Each consists of an oven or stove built up from the floor to the height of your waist, and so made that they form tables upon which, in pans filled with ashes, charcoal IS burn ing. The pots. containing the meats, rest upon an iron framework over the coals and each fire has it's pot. Here is one in which fish is frying. Over there macaroni is stewlng. and at my left fresh tomatoes are cooking. There are great bowls of rice steaming away, and big

London, December 14.-tSpecial )-Twel- ty-seven years ago a young man was running a small wholesale grocery busi- ness in the little English town of Wigan: a few days ago, without buster or excite nient. that same man fought Stafford reuse, the finest ducai home in London the house .which the lats Queen Victoria called "a palace" wpen comparing 1t with Ter own humble aboc e--apd, almost in the same moment, presented it to the British nation. Furthermore, he bought .ae house in competition with not only King George, but three immensely wealthy Americans-Otto Khan, the Ne.7 York banker Whitelaw Reid, the American smbassador. and Mrs. Miller Graham, The rich Californian society woman, all of whom were anxious to obtain it.
 The man whose buisirg pocketbook en- abled him to do this is Sir w. Ii. Lever. and he made all his millions out Of soap. He is the head of the great firm of Lever Brothers, which brought Port Sunlign, and Sunlight soap into existence, and hs rise to great wealth Is one of the r1- mances of the modern English business world. From the smallest beginning hs and his brother have built up their bus mess until it is by far the largest soap concern in the world and one of the largest and richest institutions in Great Britain
 But quick as has beea his rise and rap idly as he has amassed wealth he has probably never made money faster than he did in his now famous libel sut against Lord Northclffe. the Napoleonic owner of the London Daily Mail and mum berless other more or less important Er- glish publications. Northcline, through his papers, attacked Lever and others fo" the formation of what he called the s6o- OO00J1 soap trust" Tke soap manufao- turers immediately wen. to law about It and in the end Lever secured a verdict on agreement for S250,09O damages and other items making 1t all more than Si50,000. Four of the other soap makers also SC cured large damages. So that Northcliffe lost Sl250,000 besides nls enormuos costs. in Q few weeks. As consequence of tha pubiicty given to the scheme, however Lever and his associates abandoned the project. Lever later gavo the money he won to Liverpool university for the en- couragement of architecture, one of his hobbies.
 Lever succeeded in business because, in
