Vice President and Manager of
Block Company Learned the
Business From Ground Up.

Brooks Morgan, vice president and
manager of Frank E. Block & Co., man
ufacturers Of candy ana crackers,
knows Just as much about the manual
work Of his big shop as do the en-
ployees who daily earn their living
there.
With all the skill of one OF the deft-
fingered girls in the shop, he can set
tiny little blocks Of candy TO running
through big machine that covers them
with chocolate coating, brushes them
off and sends the sweet morsels on their
way to the drying and cooling room.
He can take look at monster cal
dron Of boiling syrup and tell just when
it should be cooled off and that takes
skill, the candy makers say. For If
you take It off the fire too soon there
is going to be sugar instead Of candy
when you cool it
Candymaking hasn't been Mr.. Nor
gan's lifework. He started out as a
young clerk with the Southern Rail-
way Company and worked his way up
to the position Of assistant general pas
senger agent.
That young Morgan is going right
along and he'll be at the head Of the
road some DAY." was the prophecy Of
timers. who knew by experience
when they saw railroad man.
About that time the young man mar
ried. His wife was the daughter Of
Frank r. Block Soon afterward Mr..
Blocks health failed and he was unable
to attend to the business which he had
made one Of the largest in the South,
so he persuaded his son-in law to Join
forces with him.
Despite the fact that his early train
ing and tastes were for railroading,
Brooks Morgan started In to help out
the man whose daughter he had mar
ried. He learned the business from the
bottom up, while managing 1t. In over
alls, he studied the actual work OF max
ing candy and learned it so that his
old employees acknowledge that he can
tell them many things about the work
which they learned in their youth
Mr. Morgan has also taken a great
interest in the doings Of other whole
sale confectioners and knows many Of
the leading men in this country per-
sonally He has attended conventions
and made himself felt there as much as
he has made the force Of his personal
ity felt in the Office at his factory.

swerVinE loyalty to the policy.
There are some conservationists who
would have the public believe that
majority of the conservationists are op-
posed to the president This is not the
fact A few conservationists who have
been able to make much Clamor and TO
deceive people into believing that they
constituted a majority are opposed to
the president-not because he is not a
conservationist, but because he could
not and would not approve Illegal meth
DDS and because when they came to re
gard themselves as larger than the pol
icy itself and even as above the law,
Mr. Taft promptly dispensed with their
services. But if you will look into the
subject you will find that they c0nsti-
tute very small minority.
Results Have Been Obtained.
The conservation movement is one Of
the most important in this country, and
that policy has been one Of the most
important and the most strictly adhered
to Of this administration. A great part
OF the conservation work of this gov
ernment has been done by the scientific
experts OF the geological survey or
course, in the eyes Of certain persons
who can see no good outside OF the for
est service, that in itself is a crime.
But the great army of conservation
lists want results concrete results, and
these they have obtained under the
Taft administration. For instance, the
surveys classification Of coal lands has
nearly trebled the valuation Of l6,0O0,-
600 acres of coal lands These lands
| have been segregated and not an acre
| is passing to private ownership. Pres
| ident Taft has declared himself IN.
! equivocally for the leasing of coal lands
and sooner or later congress Will enact
| the necessary legislation. And until II
| does. President Taft win protect these
| lands, as he will ell similar mineral
lands, from passing into the hands of
private individuals, to pass in turn, as
they surely would, into the hands of
monopolists.
How important is the presidents
stand in this regard may be judged
from the fact that the geological sur
vey has found 2O,OOO,O 900 acres Of ex-
ceptIonally rich lignate lands in Mon
tans, Of which one 4O-acre tract con
tains moro than 100000 tons.
The Withdrawals made by order Of
President Taft include 68,215,48 acres
of coal lands, 4,774,182 acres Of oil
lands, 3,340,581 acres Of phosphate lands.
1,813,753 acres of land available for
power sites. 1929 acres set apart for
water reservoirs and more than 800, 900
acres set apart for public waterwor4zs,
experimental station purposes, etc. Can
you beat this?
Tribute For Potash.
DO you realize that this country pays
foreign producers Of potash $40, 900, 900
year and that this sum all comes
out OF the pockets OF the American
farmers President Taft has directed
that all the available scientific knowl-
edge Of the government be directed to
finding method Of producing this pot

EiffeI Towers Chances.

That the Effel tower moves daily vertically and horizontally has long been beyond doubt. It may be seen in a gale swaying from side to side. M- GuiIlaume has been investigating these movements and has given the results in a paper read before the Academy of Science. He finds that the great iron structure may vary from two to three centimeters in height every day. The elevation and depression are not equal ly distributed, as only one of its sides may be affected by the rise or fall Of the temperature, and thus the tower may be compared to person shifting bis weight alternately from one foot to another. If cloud covers the tower and hides the sun the temperature falls few degrees and the tower di- minishes, and when the sun shines again 1t rapidly rises centimeter or two. But the bolts holding the frame together are affected only to an in- finitesimaI degree. Therefore there is no danger of any violent dislocation.- Exchange.

One Divided by d Half.


 If you ask the man in the street the simple question, What is one divided by half? he will either reply that the operation is an impossible one or that the answer is half. When you point out that one divided by two is a half he will see that there is something wrong somewhere, but will still be quite unable to give the right answer. When, you tell him that the answer is two he will either accept the assertion without understanding it or will dis pute it tooth and nail. If you attempt to convince him of his error you will find 1t is not at all an easy task. His mistake arises through the confound- ing of two distinct ideas-namely, one divided into two and one divided by two. One divided into two is one di- vided into two parts, each part con- taining half. One divided by two is the ratio of one to two or the number of times two is contained in one. To any one who has thought the matter out this seems clear enough, but to the man in the street it is sheer nonsense, and he will tell you so.-Exchange.

lhrahim the Inaenious.

1brahim, whose dusty history Dr. Hester Donaldson Jenkins of Columbia university has related in monograph, entitled "Ibrahim Pasha, Grand Vizier of Suleiman the Magnificent" was a child of destiny.
 By birth a Greek, he rose from the estate of a slave to a position second only to that of the sultan himself, and the secret of his swift rise to power is subtly indicated by an isolated instance of his cleverness in playing upon his masters vanity. Soon after Suleiman's marriage the young sultan is said to have asked his grand vizier which of the two ceremonies was the finer, his own or Ibrahim's.
 There never has been feast equal to my wedding,"" Ibrahim replied.
 "Why?' asked the sultan, somewhat offended.
 ''Oh, my padishah,'', said Ibrahfm, with intense modesty, my wedding was horored by the presence of Sulei- man, lord of the age, firm rampant of Islam, possessor of Mecca, lord of Da- mascus and Egypt, caliph of the. lofty threshold and lord of the residence of the Pleiades, but to your festival who was there of equally exalted rank who might come?"

Hiahest and Lowest State.

Almost everybody knows which is the smallest and which is the largest state in the Union, but how many know which is the lowest and which is the highest? According to the meas urements and calculations made by the United States geological survey, Delaware is the lowest state, its eleva- ton above sea level averaging only sixty feet. Colorado is the highest, av- eraging 6,800 feet above the sea, while Wyoming is a close second, only 100 feet lower than Colorado In minimum elevation Florida and Louisiana dis pute second place after Delaware, their average elevation being, for each, 100 feet. Taking the United States as a whole, our country lies slightly above the average elevation of the land of the globe.-New York Press.

The pnn,a Day.

Luckily for the human race, though styles come and go, mankind itself nev- CT goes out of fashion. Dogs are not so lucky. Every age has its prefer ence for aparticular breed of canine beauty. The greyhound, with his light, sketchy outlines, was in high favor during the reign of Louis XII, and the Great Dane, that had previously been the fashion, declined into period of nobody loves me-" Danes became scarce and greyhounds plenty. But un- der Louis XIV. the Dane t'caine back'' and multiplied again. The kings dog wore a collar of gold set with dia- monds. Following this, the Scotch ter rier had his turn. Then the greyhound came back in favor. Charles VIII, Henry ". and Louis XIII. loved their dogs so well that the dogs slept in the royal bedrooms.-New York Mail.

Climate and Speech.

lt is a curious suggestion that a countrys speech may be dependent on the average Of the temperature in that country. Yet such suggestion has been seriously, offered by a distinguish, cd British scientist who has been en- gagged in research in Tibet. He as- cribes the excessive use of consonants in the speech of Tibet to the intense cold that prevails in that land A pc culiarity of the language of the Tibet ans, in common with that of the Rus sians and most arctic regions, is the existence of remarkably few vowels in their words and an extraordinarily large number of consonants. Indeed. this authority points out. so full of consonants are the Tibetan words that most of them could be articulated with almost semiclosed mouth, a cir cumstanee that evidently proceeds from the enforced necessity fin that region of keeping ones lips closed as far as possible against the cutting cold when peaking.-Exchang

4 De6nition

An amusing illustration of giving a definition that itself needed to be de f1ned-a frequent occurrence, by the way-is instanced in the case of a southern witness and lawyer. Some matter of boundary was in question. and certain witness, animated with laudable desire to make things smooth, turned to the judge with the confden- tiaI remark:
 AYou see, your honor, that there house always was cattawampus."
 What did the witness sayr' asked the learned judge, not quite certain that he had heard aright-
 Whereupon a smart young lawyer jumped up and explained with a pat ronizing air, half for the judge who couldn't understand plain English. half for the ignorant witness who couldn't choose more elegant language:
 "Your honor, the witness said catta. wampus, but what he meant to signify was that the house was built snatch wise."-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

When Daniel Webster was secretary of state he visited England, and while in London the American minister took him to call upon Lord Brougham. They found the nobleman immersed in business, and his reception of the distinguished American was exceed ingly brusque and indifferent. The minister was naturally very much mortified, and, asking Webster to ex- cuse him a moment, he drew Lord Brougham aside, when the following whispered conversation ensued:

Hopi Indian Debutantes.

Among the Hopi girls of marriage able age signify their willingness for matrimony by doing their hair up in whorls, one over each ear. In the symbolism of the tribe these whorls represent the blossoms of the squash vine. These whorls are taken down at marriage, and thereafter the matron wears her hair in two rolls, one hang ing down each side of her face. These rolls are said to represent the fruit of the squash.-Christian Herald.

Swords and Boards

At one time in England all gentle men, wore swords as well as boards, and their habit of drawing these weap- ons to settle the most trivial disputes is said to have had much to do with the cut and styles in boards. During this sword wearing period all bluff CTS" wore their boards cut and hacked in most outlandish shapes, trying to convey the impression that they were bad men, who had been in many ter rife sword combats.
