1t was Carlyle who, in his doganatic
fashion, declared that the only true
happiness Of a man was that OF clear,
decided activity in the sphere for which
by nature and circumstances he has
been fitted and appointed" There Is,
perhaps, little in common between the
grim old Scotchman and Mme Sarah

GUS Frenchwoman stiff mistress of

OF 36 weeks she has given 285 per-

Coronation sermona.. !.

In the old days. when prelates were
constantly called upon for sermons
on special occasions. they, frequently
either paid for a suitable discourse or
Hegged some competent friend to
te one for the occasion. Bishop
Anson gained general applause In
1853 for a sermon preached in West
minister Abbey at great service on
the day Of thanksgiving Appointed
to be observed for the signal sue
cesses with which his majesty's arms
had been blessed" An enthusiastic
vote OF thanks was passed by the
house OF lords to the preacher for his
eloquent and excellent DISCOURSE" and
he was requested to cause the same

Smoky AchlII,

One of the smokiest places on earth
is undoubtedly Achill, off the coast Of
Mayo, Ireland, says Harper's Weekly.
A smoky atmosphere is not an un.
known thing In any Irish cabin, but in
Achill the greater the smoke the
higher the satisfaction of the natives.
for these smoke means potatoes, and
potatoes mean food.
1t ia to one Of the methods Of pro-

SCOT he must have, or the potatoes
will not grow. In the tiled fields he
erects little huts called "scraw.

HIS WAS A NATURAL ERROR
Suspect Thought tho Enlargement Of
Finger Print Was Impression Of
His Corduroy Pants.

Mayor Gaynor was talking to New
York reporter about the famous rob-
berry case wherein a criminal had
been convicted by means of the Ber.
tillon system of finger prints alone.
1t reminds me-" said the mayor, "of
story about q parson. This parson
had fine orchard, and one summer,
Just when the Bertillon system first
came out, the orchard was robbed. The
only clue left was the robbers finger
print on an over-ripe peach. The par
son had Photographic enlargement
OF the finger print made. Then, with
this enlargement under his arm, he ac-
costed in tine main street the man
whom he suspected Of the theft.
Pete he said: somebody robbed
my orchard last night
Pete took his pipe from his mouth.
He gulped nervously. Ts that so, sir?'
he said.
Yes, Pete, that's So, said the par
son; but the thief left his mark be-
hind, and I shall easily trace him. Do
you see this. Pete? And the preacher
held before the mans eyes the huge
enlargement Of the finger print.
Pete, beholding the photograph,
MADE gesture Of despair. I see there
haint no use denyin' wot l done he
said. 'Ye got the bulge on me, par

to meet in Chicago, Aug. 8.
The purpose of this convention,
according to the call, will be to
elect Illinois delegates to the
Roosevelt national convention
and presidential electors.
Sounds like the Trib was really
playing the progressive game,
doesn't it? Until you examine
the call for that state convention
a little closer.
The state convention is to NOM
mate national delegates and
electors, but is NOT to nominate
a state ticket.
Thus leaving Charles Tribune
Deneen as the whole Republican
convention in Illinois.
For the county and ward con-
ventions to elect delegates to the
state convention will be held July
81, and Medill Mccormick will do
most of the holding of those con-
ventions.
Far be it from any mere citizen
to hint that Medill and Deneen
between them might pack these
county and ward conventions
against a third state ticket .propo-
sition. But some people don't
mind saying it all the same.
The first person to say it and
to refuse to sign the state conven-
ton call was Charles E. Merriam.
The people of Chicago have
been told about 10 million times
that Merriam is schoolmaster
and doesn't know ANYTHING abort

RESUME HARVESTER CASE
Government Counsel Fail to Get
Light on Organization.
TWO BANKERS TESTIFY
Neither William Hamilton nor
w. G.. Lane Able to Recall
Important Details.

Witnesses called by the governments
legal representatives IN the third hearing
of the government suit yesterday to dis
solve the so-called Harvester trust failed
to assist much in the effort to show that
the organizers of the International Har-
Vester Company, George w. Perkins,
Charles Deering and Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, were insincere in their accounts OF
the details Of organization.
Inability to remember important facts
as TO the early transactions of the COM
pany on the part of its incorporators
was the chief stumbling block OF Edwin
=. Grosvenor, Special Assistant Attorney
General, who represented the government
before Robert 5. Taylor, special examiner.
William Hamilton, son-in-law Of ].
Plerpont Morgan, and member of the firm
of ]. Il. Morgan & Co., and William c.
Lane, vice-president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company, were two Of the i'm
portant witnesses called.
Lane, who was the first witness. testl-
fed that he was a banker and had never
engaged in the manufacture of harvesting
machinery, but that in 1902 he had en-
tered into contract to purchase several
harvester companies These he testified
he did not buy for his own use, but TO
transfer TO a corporation. lie declared
that he could not remember his reason
for participating in the purchase OF the
properties, but said he had done so on
the advice Of counsel, some member of
the firm Of Guthrie, Cravath & Hender-
son.
The Assistant Attorney General then In
troduced an agreement dated August 10,
1902, between Lane and j. p. Morgan &
Co pertaining TO the purchase OF the con-
Germs by the banking firm. This agree
ment the witness admitted. Efforts were
made to have the witness acknowledge
that he had acted as a dummy" In the
transaction. but he asserted he had been
an agent without initiative powers.
A letter dated August II, 1872 from Mr..
Lane 10 j. p. Morgan & Co. Enclosing a
check for over 100000 as payment for
money advanced by the company to Lane
was produced. The witness could not re-
member what money this check repre-
scented or where the money had come
from
On calling Mr.. Hamilton. efforts were
made by Mr.. Grosvenor to show connec-
ton between the Morgan company, the
purchase OF the harvester companies and
transfer Of the stock TO the new corpora
ton. A memorandum was produced by
Mr.. Hamilton showing that $4,000 shares
of stock in the International Harvester
Company, worth on August IA, 1902, S3,-
5OO, coo, had been paid TO William G. Lane.
It is hoped by the prosecution that It
can prove the stock was transferred to
the Morgan company. Mr.. Hamilton de-
clared that he had no personal hand In
the organization Of the International Har-
vester Company, but that George w. Per-
kins, a member Of the firm, had been its
agent
The taking of testimony will be contin-
ued to-day, when the Assistant Attorney
General will attempt to learn further de-
tails Of the International Harvester Com
panys formation.
