How Mrs. Il. r.. oIds of New Haven
Baked Home Made Pies to Help
Her Husband Who Had
Failed.

The late H. H. Olds. of New Ha.
ven. Conn. who died one of the most
prominent and successful of business
men in New England. went home one
day some fifty years ago to tell his
wife that he was ruined
THE business has all gone to
smash" he said I've lost every
dollar had"
Olds had been making pretty good
living as small merchant After
his business affairs had been wound
up, he looked around for something
to do, but he had neither money nor
credit to set up anew for himself. and
no one seemed anxious TO give him a
steady job He cut down the family
living expenses to an irreducible mini
mum. but the few dollars he picked
UP by an odd job here or there were
not enough to make the account bal
ance.

had a number of discouraging expert

pies-all my friends know that |
can get orders for some, know. I'll
do it, too"
So Mrs Odds got busy. She wrote
to some of the people she knew. and
got some orders. While her husband
was out looking for something tc do.
she was baking pies. Mr. Olds de-
liveTed them to the customers. Peo-
pie liked the pies and told their
friends about them, and Mrs. Olds
got more orders. She began to make
money.
Mr.. OIds began to see possibilities
in the little trade his wife had built
I'D. It occurred to him that much
more custom could be got by going
out after It, So he said to Mrs. Odds:
"A great many more people would
buy your pies if they knew about
them. Suppose you bake an extra
batch of them and will try to sell
them without any orders"
Accordingly, a day or two later.
after he had delivered the pies or
dered by the regular customers, he
set out with large basket full. and
offered the ware for sale from door
to door. AT some houses he made
sales, at others be did not, but he
did not return until he had disposed

Then he began to go over the ground

emily became so brisk that Mrs Olds
had half a dozen girls making and
baking pies all day Tong under her
supervision. The delivery became
more than Mr.. Olds could manage on
foot and he bought horse and de-
livery wagon.
The pies became famous and the
business expanded by leaps and
bounds. a good sized building had
to be rented for the bakery. Mrs.
Olds did no more baking, but mere
ly saw to it that the staff of cooks
and helpers kept the pies up to her
standard Mr.. Odds had found the
job he had been looking for in the
management of this new business
which he and his wife owned.
AS time went on Olds' pie bakery
became one of the big business insti-
tutions of New Haven. 1t had big
plant and gave employment to many
hundreds of persons. Mr.. Olds ex-
tended it's trade to other cities. and
made it famous throughout New Eng
land. And it was the first pie baking
corporation in the world.

Hobby of an Ex-President

slyIy at each other at the stout mans
childlike enjoyment in watching the
man who made the engine co.
Just before we reached Twenty
third street, then the pre-eminent
shopping center of the metropolis. the
man at the forward window turned
slightly and glanced up that thorough
fare-and then my friend and | saw
that he was none other than General
Ulysses S. Grant
AS the train left the Twenty-third
street station. the general once more
fastened his gaze on the engineer.
Soon thereafter my friend. William
Copeland, who, as an officer during the
Civil war, had come to know General
Grant fairly well at that time stepped
up and greeted HE old commander,
who welcomed him cordially and mo-
toned him to an adjacent vacant
seat
Mr. Copeland ventured to remark
that he could net help noticing the in
forest General Grant took in watching
the manner in which the engineer Of
the train did his work. The general
smiled

And while the great general of the
Civil war, the man who had twice

waited railroad travel similar to that
which children always display. his
gaze would turn every little while

was driving it down to the citys finan-
cial center.

There was excitement on West Gov
eminent street yesterday. Ed. Peake,
while engaged in the prosaic task or
digging potatoes out of the southwest
corner of his garden, unearthed a very
strange looking stone. 1t wasn't an
ordinary, every day stone at all, but
was all covered over with strange
hieroglyphics, the like of which Ed.
had never seen in his life before. 1t
looked very ancient. the stone did, and
Ed. thought maybe if he could find
someone to translate the hieroglyphics
he might gain some clue as to the
origin of Fred Schad's jokes.
So, taking the stone with him, he went
over to see Jack Brandon. Jack was
at home and was tickled to death to
get chance to do the translation.
One glance and Jack announced that
the hieroglyphics were poetry. After
working for two hours he triumphant
ly declared that he had made a trans
lation. AT first he was puzzled to say
just when the hieroglyphics were
chiseled. until all at once he was re-
warded by the discovery of this in

Roosevelt Wants
To Expel Penrose.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is re-
ported to have said in an interview a
few days ago, that on his own testi-
mony Senator Penrose ought to be
expelled. 1t is said the colonel made
this statement after reading what
purported to be an extract from Sen
ator Penrose's testimony that ne had
advised John d. Archbold to make q
second contribution in the 1904 cam
paign lest the Standard Oil people en-
counter difficulties in certain quarters
In the abstract this is perhaps true
II may be that Penrose showed suf-
ficient moral turpitude in making TIE
remark to Archbold to entitle him tc
be driven from the senate. Still the
remark Of Penrose may have been g
wise one. It may also have been true
It will be remembered that Mr.. Roose-
Welt was president at the time anc
might 1t have not been possible thai
the big Bull Moose would have brought

not come across.
And again is there anything new
about Mr.. Penrose's position on these
great moral questions. He is the same
Penrose as Of yore and he belongs Il
the same school of politicians witt
Tom Plat and Quay and Colone
Roosevelt should remember that these
worthless made him vice president ant
then by the blow of an assassin's dag
ger and series of accidents h,
reached his present prominent position
Very likely Mr.. Penrose should b,
expelled but it seems that Colone
Roosevelt is tarred with the sam
stick. to use a time worn but trite ex
preston.
