During that time he learned some val
liable lessons. An advertising con-
tract in which he took his pay in
worthless mining stock rendered him
forever immune from danger from this
form Of investment. The experience
Of his partner, who after cleaning up
a few thousands in board OF trade
speculation, went to Chicago, lost ev-
erything and became a failure, con-
WINGED him that speculation was
something to be eternally avoided
and that success at II from a money
winning standpoint, was If anything
worse than getting on the wrong side
of the market.
So deeply did this latter lesson sink
in that it helped to keep him out Of
temptation later when he was con-
gresham at Washington. The Incl
dent was in line with the recent story
by Samuel G. Blythe in the Saturday
Evening Post On THE Price of Place"
on which Mr.. Dawson commented. It
showed the possibilities for making
questionable wealth which come oc-
casionally to members Of the house
and senate. In this instance the re-
peal of the special tobacco tax i'm
posed for revenue in the Spanish
American war was up in conference
Allison Of Iowa was a member. The
house had voted to remove the entire
tax, while the senate had favored al
lowing it to remain. The conference
resulted in the removal of four cents
per pound, which meant that upon
the news becoming public, stock OF
the American Tobacco company
would promptly jump from five to ten
points.
WAY WAS EASY.
The committee finished its work Sat
urday night and the report would not
be made till Monday at noon. Sun

tor Allison, who casually mentioned

evening. Mr.. Dawson said he saw his
opportunity. All he needed to do was

the lesson he had learned when an
! Iowa newspaper man stood him in
| good stead and he resisted the temp
| tation which many another less Sc
curely fortified than he, would have
have yielded to.
Mr.. Dawson went from the little
/ Iowa town TO Clinton, where he
worked on the Age and the Herald,
both dailies. Then he secured a place
as private secretary to Congressman
Curtis and later held a like position
with Senator Allison, eventually b 4

advantage of the benefit to be

There also is bonus OF 5000 votes
for the first $40 turned in for sub

Probation Officer Lyman was appoint ed guardian ad litem for the boys, who admitted the theft.
