Columbus was the only man IN his fleet
who didn't wake with a start each night,
believing the vessel was sliding off the
edge of the world. and beginning an eter-
nal tumble among the other planets. Co

eiightty-nine were even greater They
didn't even have a cranky notion to sus-
tain them
Columbus discovered America October
II, 1892. That Is, he began its diseOv-
cry. Something new about the country
IS still being discovered daily. He was
given tremendous hOnOrs for his daring
and refrained with becoming dignity
from saying Il told you so" to mankind
when he returned. But he Immediately
plunged into American politics and be-
came its first victim. After trying to
run the new country for a few years
he went hOmein chains and died IN pow
erty later on, without even postmaster
ship to comfort him.
Columbus Is now one of history's
greatest men, but If he had spent his
early life arguing with wise men he
would have died unknown and America
might still be lOafing around IN an IN
discovered and highly moral state. The
foolish faith of woman, entirely unadul-
terated with logic and common sense, has
made more great men than any other
one thing.-tCOpyrighted by George

being greatly pleased at the results at

owner would take up this method of ex-
termination, it would practically reduce
the losses now being sustained by rea-
son of this pest.
Knowing that your paper has the

that due publicity be given this matter
through your paper, in order that the
use OF this machine may be made by the

In conclusion I would add that due
credit should be given to the Myers
company for having, through Mr.. Roe
introduced this form of hopper-dozer

sent to Colorado for a model machine.

Modern Girls
by Walt Mason

Our modern girls are talented IN fifty
seven ways; Pm full of admiration when
I watch their skillful plays. One damsel
wears her brothers clothes and at the
tennis court eonvinces al the lockers on
that she's nifty sport; another drives
a motor car with wondrOus grace and
ease. and runs down a pedestrian and
breaks him at the knees; another takes
her fountain pen and writes 2 gripping
book; they all are wonders IN their way
but mighty few can eOOki I read of
girls on aerOplanes, and girls who prac-
tice law, and dentist girls who dig the
teeth from Oat your aching Jaw; AID
preacher girls, and painter girls arr
everywhere I look; they're demOnstrat-
ing lots Of things-but mighty few can
cook. And In a million gloomy homes
good grub IS being spoiled. and wives
are busy frying things which rightly
should be boiled; they're busy baking
lOaves of break as hard as brick or stone:
they ruin everything they touch. while
heartsiek husbands groan; they do not
know a chicken from a bllzZard or a
roOl-; they're great on elOcution. but
they odn't know how to cook. Oh. I
am fun of sympathy, my good old bosom
aches. for husbands who must fill them
selves with charred and stringv steaks.

Christopher Columbus

n CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS was
born somewhere between 1870 and
1850, near Genoa. Several towns
claim the honor of being his birthplace
and are a good deal more earnest about
it than they were when Christopher was
a barefoOted boy, with a ragged jacket
and a poor wool-comber for a father.
Columbus was given a careful educa-
ton which. in the opinion of the neigh
bors, added his mind, for he soon con
ceived the idea that the world was round.
For many years he was regarded as the
king of eranks as he rambled from court
to court trying to convince credulous
kings to lend him a fleet in which he
might arrive in the far east by sailing
west. If it had not been for the SYM
pathY and simple-mindedness OF a wO-
man he would not have succeeded. Queen
Isabella of Spain was so touched by his
sadness and detection that she prevailed
on her husband to lend him three small
vessels. This proves that woman should
never be intrusted with affairs of
state. She is too ereulOus.
Columbus sailed from Palos, Aug. 3,
1892, with 80 men. each of whom had
carefully made his viii, and after leav-

GRANTS INJUNCTION

New York, February 4.--Thirty minutes
before the public service commission was
TO have met to sign the operating con-
tracts for New Yorks s 500 goo, 900 subway.
an injunction today was served, prohibit
ing the commission from taking action.
The injunction was obtained by Clarence
J. shearn, counsel for William Randolph
Hearst. Hearst has been fighting for a
municipal operating plan
George S. Coleman, attorney for the
public service commission, later applied
TO the appellate division of the supreme
court for an order to vacate the injune-
tion. The court however, refused to
grant the order
The injunction was obtained on the peti-
ton of John J. Hopper. formerly candi-
date for governor of New York on the In
dependence league ticket. 1t is return
able February 6. BY that time the op-
ponents Of the present plan hope that
the composition of the public service COM
mission viii be changed and that Supreme
Court Justice Mccall will have taken the
place of Chairman Wilcox, who, they
believe, favors the contracts in their
Drslsns unaer f1Em; s proposed contracts. the In
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company and
they agreed to divide the cost of construc-
tion with the city and to equip the new
lines in return for the privilege of operat-
ing them for 4S years
In 1865 all subway lines are to become
the property of the city. One advantage
of the plan, according to its advocates,
Is that 1T would enable all the city
subway lines to be operated as one with
five cent fare and free transfers.
Its opponents argue that the plan fails
TO give the city its due share of super
vision or of the profits of subway trans
portation. In return for the investment
of SS0,000000 in the new subways the In
terboro is to receive s6,335,000 a year,
representing its annual profits on the
lines now under operation and per cent
to cover interest and sinking fund on
the bonds it will have to issue for Its
share of the new construction and equip
ment If any surplus remains the city
also is to receive interest and sinking
fund on its Investment. Any residue is TO
be divided equally between the city and
the operating company.
The city was unable to build the sub
ways unaided because its debt limit
would have been reached before the nee
essary bonds were issued to finance COM

EXCHANGE SEATS
DECLINE IN VALUE
Present Market Value
Causes Gloom in Wall
Street

New York, February A decline of
more than 100000 in the total market
value of the seats on the New York stock
exchange is one measure OF the depths
of Wall streets gloom.
The latest sale of a seat was made
for $4,000, which is precisely one-half of
the high record reached in 1909.
On the assumption that $4,000 repre-
sents the present marketable value of
seat, the total shrinl1age on paper at
least of the 11o0 seats ON the stock ex-
change is 2,So0,000. Last November a
seat was sold for $4,000. On the same
is s23, 100000 Neither during the panic
of 1907 nor during the "Rich Mans
Panic of 1903 did the price fall so low.
So, 900 having then been the low level at
both of the periods Dwindling business
is the explanation of the decline in seat
prices. The intrinstic value of a seat
represents but small portion of its
price. The huge gray palace which is
the home of the stock exchange and the
land on which it stands are assessed at
s5,300,000 which represents an equity for
each member of less than 5000. There is
also a gratuity of $4,000. which is paid
to the family of a member who dies.
Other than this. the value of seat con-
sists merely in good WILL, or the priv
ilege of trading on the exchange and the
facilities offered to dealers. Wall street
has had three lean years in the busi-
ness of buying and selling stocks and
bonds Business last year averaged less
than 100000 shares of stock a day, where
as in 1905 the average was 100000 shares
