The man who culttvates the soil fre-
quently realizes the Importance of the
penny, says this man. He knows that
thousands Of apples are thousands OF
pennies.
Penny Contest Editor: The penny is q
great Fact at the bottom Of great
human interest called MONEY. Money IS
an aggregate Of VALUABLE FACTS. These
facts are the intrinsic prices OF things
From one penny up there is REAL repre-
sentation OF value. No trick or c0ntriTance
can annihilate this value, but the actual
deduction OF it.
The penny stands behind universal labor.
Every valuable human product begins with
the penny number one. One thousand dol
lars less one penny is NOT one thousand
dollars. This Is easily understood. but few
are always able TO realize it. The man
who cultiyates the soil frequently realizes
the Importance OF the penny. He knows
that thousands Of apples are thousands OF
pennies. The objective lesson Of the penny
makes useful men out Of the boys who deal
with pennies in our city.
The penny has great meaning, inexor-
able meaning in the positive sense Of
human property. No sentimentalism, no
doctrine, philosophy is more conclusive
and self-determining than the material
Every true wealth creator MUST KNOW
thoroughly the value Of pennies; pennies
form the backbones Of dollars
When you positively know how many
day for the advancement OF your commu-
nity, then you become qualified worker.
Let children deal with pennies. handle
pennies, buy small things with pennies.
They viii be sound, strong and happy men,
who will know the value Of dollars. There
viii be less easy grating, more honest
trade. cheaper cost OF living, more honest
clean market competition
Tue papers that promote the penny cir
culation are making healthy movement.
They are right; MANUEL cARPIo.

MEASURE PLEASURE BY CENT
Here's a short but pointed argu-
ment for the introduction of the penny
in San Francisco:
Penny Contest Editor. The advantages
Of money are not measured by quantity.
but BY individual desire. So the advan-
tsges OF the penny are just great
the advantages OF the dollar
Which one OF Us grownups would not
give many dollars for one moment OF the
unal1oyed joy q penny was able TO bring to
cry, hard fsted laborer buys more solid
satisfaction with IS cents worth OF corned
beef and cabbage than the wealthy epicure
can purchase with as many dollars In the
Waldorf-Agtorla.
The Great Teacher gave MS the true
measure when be placed higher value on
the Widows mite than all the treasures
Of the rich, and through that great lesson
the Mite was made Mighty in It's influence
on human lives And today. as then. the
greatest givers. the most deserving toilers
and the happiest spenders are indeed those
whose gifts, whose wage and whose Joys
are measured in pennies.

100000 To
FAN OLD FEUD
Contest To Be Started to Break
Will of Julia Garrett, PennsyI-
vania's Richest Woman.

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 27-A con-
test will be made to break the will of
Julia Garrett, leaving S9,OOO,OOO of
her $4,000, 600 estate to her financial
adviser, Isaac T. Starr.
Enmity handed down from genera
ton to generation for more than 125
years found expression in the will of
the last member of the distinguished
Garrett family, who died in Villa
nova several weeks ago.
She cut off from participation mem
beers of the Dunn family, cousins, be-
cause the Dunns' forebears looked
with contempt upon John Garrett,
from whom she was descended, when
he started in an humble way the
manufacture of snuff 1871 years ago.
Enmity Is Remembered.
When his business. begun on a
capital of 500 in New Castle County,
Delaware expanded and he became
wealthy Garrett remembered the at
titude of the Dunns. Succeeding gen
erations kept the enmity alive, and
Of the great fortune that grew from
the original capital of 800 the Dunns,
unless proceedings to break the will
are successful, will receive an amount
so slight comparatively as to be al
most negligible.
This amount will come to them
through a personal liking of Miss
Garrett for a woman who married
into the Dunn family. Her will leaves
s25, 600 to Mrs. Dunn, mother of
George Garrett Dunn, a millionaire
banker As Mrs. Dunn is dead the
money will revert to her children.
While it had been supposed that
the will of Miss Garrett was filed
in Norristown it is now known that
it was filed with the Register of
Wills in this city on Friday, Septem-
Der 5.
27 Requests Made.
There are % requests in the doCu-
ment. and, according to a man who
saw the will, the money left to others
besides Mr. Starr totals less than
81 900, 900.
Among the requests are: The Or
thopedic Hospital $4,000; the Bryn
Mawr Hospital, $4,000: to four serv-
ants, $4,000 each; to relatives other
than the Dunns. 100000.
Mr. Starr, who for many years had
been legal adviser to Miss Garrett,
whose town house was at No. S24
Pine street, has benefited to a large
extent through his connection with
the Garrett family.
"llSL hAoS T@l4EdptIH IdTTell, SIS
ter of Miss Julia, died ten years ago,
she bequeathed to him 100000.
When William f. Garrett, Jr, a
brother, died fourteen years ago.
Starr was named as executor Of the
Will. His fees and commissions, it
was declared, amounted to $4,000.
The snuff business, from which the
CARROTS made their enormous for
tune, passed from the hands Of the
Garrett family in 1900. 1t was sold
to the American Snuff Company for
approximately $4,000, 900. Four years
later the American Snuff Company
was absorbed by the American To-
baCcO Company.
The CARROTS were noted for their
| benefactions. They took special in
terest in the Pennsylvania Hospital
and made liberal contributions to it

PORTLAND, MAINE Sept. 27.-A
romance Of the Frozen North has
been shattered, a romance redolent
with the atmosphere of the Arctic, a
romance in which the name of the
daughter of the discoverer OF the
North Pole was linked with the name
of one of her fathers sturdiest ad-
herents
When the public prints announced
few days ago that Marie Ahnighito
Peary would become the bride of
Donald Macmillan, the famous ex-
plorer, those sentimentally inclined
sighed a sigh OF sweet satisfaction.
Here. indeed, was perfection in ro-
nance. the famous Snow Baby born
far above the Artic circle. was to be
the bride of man who had conquered
the terrors OF the North.
The only trouble with the romance
is that it's not so, at least not ac-
cording to Rear Admiral Robert +.
Peary. From his residence on Eagle
Island the discoverer promptly tele-
graphed when he saw the reports of
the engagement: The report that my
daughter. Marie, is engaged to Mac

And the romance was destroyed, the
romance that was just as it should
have been.
The news of the engagement came,
as it should have. from the North,
Newfoundland. And to those who
know Ahnighito it was in no sense
surprising. For all the romance of
the subdued North is in the heart of
Miss Peary. She was born about II
degrees north latitude in Seutembe-
1898.
She was placed in the Georgetown
Convent and after graduating from
the Western High School OF George
town fascinated Washington society
with her wholesome beauty and
charm Of personality Thrice she re-
visited the land of her birth and II
was considered altogether fitting that
the man she weds should be one init
mately acquainted with the mysteries
of the land of ice, and snow.
Donald Macmillan is now in the
North at the head of the Cracker Land
expedition. which left the Brooklyn
Navy Yard last July. Naturally. he
has not been heard from on the ques-
ton of the engagement.

Miss Jane Sullivan, with a couple

was required, she was jokingly told
that anything with a bend on one end
would do.
Acting on this advice, she inquired
If an ordinary buttonhook would do,
and, being told that it would, she
tied one to the end of a long shoe
lace and let it drag in the water.
Whether the attraction to the hook
may have been the young woman

appearance of the hook. at any rate.
and the story Is vouched for by Frank

said to have weighed nearly two
pounds, bit on it. The pike was cas-
lily landed and was shown by Miss
