MlsER,s HOARD TO CHARITY.
Fortune Won by Privation Left to
ChiIdren's Hospital.

Vienna's charitable institutions are
to be increased by a new children s
hospital, TO be erected at cost OF p
500. 900 crowns. bequeathed for the pur-
pose by Josef Spitzberger, who died
recently at the age of So years. This
fortune was accumulated by the sever
est -privation.
Spitzberger was for many years head
cashier of large flour milling concern
in Austria. He seems to have been
born thrifty, for at very early age
he gave mp taking sugar in his coffee,
and persuaded his parents to give him
the few pennies saved in this way to
put in the savings bank. And as he
began. so he continued throughout his
long life, contenting himself with the
barest necessities. Every penny he
could save went into the bank.
For many years he lived in a small
miserable room in a poor street in the
suburbs of Vienna. The room had
neither stove nor light. TO keep warm
when he was not at business Spitz-
berger visited the museums and art
galleries and to save the expense of
light he went to bed when it grew
dark. He mended mis- own clothes and
his whole wardrobe consisted only of
one suit and one shirt. During his
last years he lived literally on dry
bread and tea made fresh only once d
week. He drank this decoction with
ont any sugar.
Spitzberger was a frequent visitor on
the Bourse, and made a good deal of
money in lucky speeulations. He was
interested in public affairs, but never
bought q newspaper, going at half past
6 o'clock every morning to read the
sheets pasted outside the offices of the
journals
To all the remonstrances of his
friends he replied" Your pleasure is to
spend-nine to save. Leave me my
pleasure; it is all for good purpose"
Spitzberger never married and with
the exception of some small legacies to
relatives, has left his whole fortune for
the children's hospital.-London Stand

silly Season in Waterville, Too?

will have passed or been rejected by
Wednesday night.
This amendment directs the Secre-
Itary of Agriculture TO select, classi-
lfy and segregate as soon as practi-
cable all lands within the boundaries
of national forests that are suitable
and fit for agricultural purposes and
as soon as such lands have been thus
selected, classified and segregated, the
same shall be open to settlement and
entry under the homestead laws, and
the sum of $4,000 is hereby appro-
priated for the purpose aforesaid"
Conservationists declare this practi-
cally annihilates the act of June II,
1906, which defines and privides for
the present method of dealing with
agricultural lands on national forests
When the agricultural appropriation
bill was reported to the Senate this
amendment had been changed so as
to leave matters in statu quo, but on
the floor of the Senate this substitu-
ton around several senators who
have long fought the conservation
policy of the Forest Service and of
the Administration.
The debate on this amendment
served to emphasize the friction be-
tween the government bureaus and
representatives. If the amendment
passes a large part of the work al
ready accomplished by the forest SER
vice will be undone.
The sympathies of the country are
divided, but it seems petty hand
ling of public trust when jealousies
of various branches of government |
are allowed to enter into matters of |
business policy.

Manitoba's Elevator Failure.

In the letter of a correspondent at
Winnipeg, Manitoba, is an interesting
report of the government attempt TO
control the grain business, by pur-
chasing and building liz elevators in
all parts of the province. The event,
two years ago, was heralded in the
United States and the plea of 1.-The
government owes the grain elevators"
was made card to draw thousands
of American farmers over the Canadi-
an border.
Some days ago the grain commission
of the province made the fiat an
nouncement that the government OPP
dored the discharge of practically all
the employees, and offered the entire
line of 172 elevators for sale. The
government elevators will go out of
business on August 81 and thousands
of American farmers in western Can
ada will lose their 1912 wheat crops.
Millions of bushels of 1911 wheat are
said to yet be lying on the bare ground
in the western provinces, wet, soggy
and ruined, and many more millions
will this year go the same route. 1t
took the state just two years to dem
onsfrate its Inability ITO successfully
compete with the privately owned eie-
vators and it is charged by the oppose
ton that the entire Investment of
more than $1,000, 900 will be lost to the
people of the province who will have
to pay the bonds when they fall due
The statement is made by grain men
that the plant is worth not more that
IS per cent. OF the sum for which ii
was loaded on TO the government. The
business has been carried on at a hea-
Wy loss from the beginning and there
has not been at any time a prospect
of success.
Refusal of farmers to patronize the
government concern is given as the
reason for it's failure. 1t is probably
due to the difference in the operations
of privately owned concern and one
publicly operated.

General information.
Dream Saved Train From Wreck.

Awakening from a sleep in which he
had dreamed that a nearby trestle OF
the southern railroad had been washed
away o. Il. Kitchens. section foreman,
although suffering from illness, arose
from his bed and went to South river,
six miles from here, before dawn to
discover that his dream was a reality.
The foreman found that the stream,
swollen by heavy rains, had carried
away a trestle spanning IS foot
ehasm. He knew that a passenger train
en- route for Atlanta to Columbus, Ga,
soon was to arrive at the opposite side
of the river, but he had no means of
reaching that point to warn the engi-
neer of the danger, and the river is
quarters of mile wide.
Standing on the bank the man put
his hands to his lips and repeatedly
'fhallooed" for half an hour. Finally he
heard an answering shout and he call
ed ont n warning to J. T.. Daniel, the
man who had heard him. Daniel flag
ged the train as it neared the brink
OF the stream.-Atlanta Journal.

Expensive Saving.

With the hot weather and the hot
ter campaign coming on, and national
law builders becoming increasingly
anxious to get away to cool and in
wiling fish and game preserves or to
more or less depressing political pre-
serves, the probable action on mat
ters of vital national interest becomes
more problematical.
In the indications of the last few
days there is cause for alarm as to
the fate of provisions in which the
country has given evidence of appro-
val and pride.
First we see the probability of
President Taft's Tariff Board being
wiped out by action of a hostile
House. In the sundry civil appro-
priation bill as reported to that body
from committee, provision for the
Tariff Board is eliminated. The an
nual appropriation of 5000 for the
Presidents travelling expenses was
allowed, but the total appropriation
was cut to little more than $780,
100000. making heavy reductions in
provisions for the Panama Canal,
public buildings and other projects.
Extravaganza was charged in the
building of the Panama Canal and
the committee allowed there only 81
100000, a reduction from the esti-
mate of sie.78O.000 and also made a
reduction Of $193050 in the approprl-
alton for Notifications Appropria-
lions for public buildings We're cut
from approximately 100000 to
sS.053.517. The Presidents travel
ling expenses were allowed only after
d bitter fight, in which sufficient
number of Democrats joined with the
Republican members to insure the
appropriation remaining In the bill

Vice Presidential Gossip.

kbOStpH 1lObcsJ
Very little is said about the candi-
date of either party fer Vice President.
although the conventions are almost at
hand The Vice Presidency is rarely
sought by any public man, although the
country has been governed by hVe
Presidents, Tyler, Fillmore. Johnson,
Arthur and Roosevelt, who succeeded
To lie highest office on the death of the
President. 1t is regarded as consola-
ton prize which has few consoling
features. Chance and accident only
make il attractive.
The reason why so little is now heard
about second honors is because the
Presidential nomination is shrouded in
doubt II an Eastern man is selected
by the Republicans, it can confidently
be expected that the running mate will
be from the Middle West or Far We.
and the same is true of the Democrats,
except that the South might be favored
for second place. Geography seems to
be leading factor.
on the Republican side, Taft and
Sherman may be the ticket again if the
President controls at Chicago. while if
Roosevelt leads, Gov. johnson of Cali
fornia. Gov. Hadley of Missouri and
Senator Borah are all mentioned for
second place, with Hadley being the
logical candidate because he comes
from an important doubtful State On
the Democratic end the chief prize is
so sharply contested that speculation is
almost idle, although the name of SEN
ator O'Gorman of late has teen
brought forward, and that of Gov Foss
is heard with favor.
In the light of history. it is import
ant that second place should go tie an
able man.

comparatively recently that the origin
of the substance was discovered. 1t is

duct of serpentine rock found in Asia

a corruption of the wordS 'myrsen' or
.'myrsehen," by which it is known in
Asia Minor. but the Koelnische Iei-
tung says it is more probable that
Italians who first introduced 1T in
