SPENDING A FORTUNE TO TELL
OTHERS HOW TO GAIN WEALTH

This Is a story of how a comfortable
little fortune was spent in three weeks:
1t wasn't squandered. and in its way
that fortune put potential wealth into
the hands of more than $4,000 per
sons in Chicago.
To begin at the beginning: When
the third Chicago Land Show was be-
ing planned the Union and Southern
Pacific railroad companies began to
plan also how they could attract their
share of the hundreds of thousands
that would visit the show, to their ter
ritory. Many things were discussed
the first being the idea of booths in
which to display the products grown
along the lines Of the RAILROADS
That won't do" said Gerritt Fort
and Charles s. Fee, passenger traffic
managers of the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads. We've got to have
something different this year. Last
year we showed what our farmers
can do. This year we want to show
what all of us can do"
Plan to Spend a Fortune.
And right there began the plans
for spending this fortune. After doz-
on different suggestions had been
thrashed out there was evolved the
one used. that of having two moving
picture palaces built into the Coliseum
at Chicago and there showing stereop-
tcon and moving pictures not only of
farm life but OF town and city life
along the Union and Southern Pacific
lines.
Twenty thousand dollars was the
sum decided upon as necessary to
make the display. The space at the
Coliseum that was allotted to the rail-
roads was put in the hands Of mov-

Mount Vernon Token Returned

When Mount Vernon the home of Washington
restored 30 years ago the various
states were asked to send token to be
placed in the rooms The women of Kansas sent
a solid walnut, hand carved seal of Kansas to rep
resent this state. For 80 years the beautiful seal
has been standing in the former home of the
Father of His Country and 1t has just been re-
turned to the Kansas Historical society to be
placed In the exhibit of Kansas curios.
The piece is carved from solid piece OF
tive Kansas walnut. Of the few perfect pieces
of walnut wood found in the state. search of
several months was required to find tree suit
able for the work. One found in Coffey
county and was cut down expressly for this
ing. 1t is four feet long and two feet high and
fs intended to go over the door OF some hall.
The seal was carved by the late Henry Worrall
of Topeka, the first artist in Kansas. He worked
all one summer on It, In the center is the great
seal of the state. painted in coors in oil by Pro
fessor Worrall. Around the seal the words
Great Seal of the State of Kansas. January 20.
1861" carved by hand, each letter in relief.
Around the seal are grouped the products of
Kansas
When the servant quarters were restored at
Mount Vernon, Kansas school children raised the
money to pay for the restoration. It then
decided that Kansas had sufacient representation
among the relics In the home and the great seal
was returned to the Historical society.

given in the two theaters in the 20
days the Land Show was opener an
average of 20 lectures q day. Thirty
different men and women from differ
ent parts of the country sent out tho
call for their particular sections; each
presenting in his or her own way the
advantages to be derived from resid-
ing there.
Governors day at tho Land Show
was November 2s. and on that day
the Union-Southern Pacific companies
threw open their theaters to the gov
ernors Of ten western states, welcom-
ed them there, and it was there that
the messages of these states were told
to Chicago. Other distinguished visit
ors were invited. and they also talk
ed to thousands. On the special days
OF the states represented at the expo
sition the programs were given, as .
usual thing, in one of these theaters.
Men stood at each door OF the two
theaters all day long with counters
in their hands. and every person that
entered was ticked of on the little
watch-like machines they held. At the
end Of each day the total was taken
from each and they were set back to
zero again ready for the next day.
In this way accurate count was kept
Of the $4,000 men, women and chill
dren who we're told the message of
the west.

conspicuously before his countrymen. Here, in
the old Carlisle house, which remains to this day
one Of the chief show places" of the historic
old town. George Washington and other leading
men of the colony had lengthy conference with
the British commander the night before the
expedition set out upon the campaign which
destined to go down in history as "Braddocks
defeat"
OF the most interesting structures In the United
states, fell sadly into decay some years ago al
though move looking to Its complete restoration
has latterly been made by patriotic society.
George Washington frequent guest at
Carlisle house-the mansion of Major Carlisle.
and when, after social function in Alexandria
he returned to Mount Vernon by boat it was al
most invariably from the Carlisle house that he
set out, the terraced grounds of the mansion
sloping down TO the river rendering it convenient
for General Washington and his house guests to
step into the barge to be rowed to his manor
house farther down on the Virginia shore of the
Potomac. 1t was also General Washington's
tom to sup at Carlisle house each 22d of February
when he came to Alexandria to attend the Birth
Night Balls" which were instituted in his honor
In Alexandria after he rose to fame the hero
Of the War for Independence These balls
held at Claggett's tavern and constituted the
preme height Of Alexandria's social glory
General Washington was most intimately identi-
ned with the history Of Alexandria from the year
1853. when he purchased considerable property in
the town. He showed himself a good citizen by
becoming a member Of the Friendship Fire En-

ing picture architect-a specialist in
the designing and building OF motion
picture houses-and he was told to go
ahead and build two Of the best ones
he ever planned.
The result more than repaid the plan
ners. When the theaters were turned
over to the railroads they were fully
up to expectations. The entrances to
foyer of the two was from the main
body of the Coliseum and the two wide
doorways were brilliantly lighted with
electric signs. The foyer ran the full
length of the Coliseum Annex and was
wide. Under foot was soft carpet,
and on the walls were scenes Of farm
and home life in the west.
Theaters Arc Resting Place.
Tho theaters themselves also were
reached by two broad doorways each.
Inside they were carpeted and fitted
with comfortable wide armed opera
chairs that furnished the grateful rest
ing place to the thousands that had
been looking around" in the big Coli
scum and standing about on the con-
crete floors until their feet ached. The
walls OF the theaters also were Gov
cred with paintings OF western scenes.
In addition to the farm scenes were
views Of several Of the immense irri-
CATION projects. and number Of the
scenic wonders Of the world.
The cages" for the moving picture
operators were fireproof, so that in
case Of accident no fame could reach
out into the body Of the house. The
ceilings Of the two halls were beamed
and paneled and the interior decora-
tons were equal to those of any thea
tor in Chicago. In the front of each
room was the platform on which the
lecturers stood. and to the left of this
was the screen on which the pictures
were thrown. This was one huge sheet
without seam to mark or mar 1t, and
the reflections cast were as clear as It
was possible to make them.

IN George Washington's time Aexandria-or
bennaven as 1t was at first known along about
tne middle OF the eighteenth century-was one OF
the most prominent ports in the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise of extensive
development in the future. George Washington
himself took a hand in booming the port, which
developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks
were crowded with warehouses filled with corn,
tobacco and other products, while in the harbor
were always to be found many of the largest class
OF cargo ships of that period loading and dis

combined to bring about the commercial eclipse
OF the little city 80 dear to the heart of the ma
ton's hberator One of the first Of these was the
establishment only few miles away OF the capi-
tai Of the nation, which speedily overshadowed
Alexandria in various ways Then came the
building OF railroads, which diverted much traffic
