Representative Ed Cole Has Ac-
CURED a Fortune, but Has Lost
Most of His Name.

In the first place, Representative Ed
Cole, of Barlow, was not christened
Edward, or Edwin, or Ed, or anything
like that.
As a matter of fact, his full entitle-
ments are Emreid Dargan Cole!
That, however, was entirely too
fancy an outlay of names for this
gentleman when first he started out to
make his own way in life. and so ne
elected to have himself called e. D."
which inevitably evoluted into plain,
ordinary, old fashioned Ed" as time
ran on.
Ed Cole began his business career
with a total capital or S1,35. Besides
that, he possessed nothing beyond one
suit of clothes, vintage unknown, "a
couple of pairs of socks and a super
abundance of energy and pluck.
He plunged into business for him
self at 16 by getting a job as train
butcher on a jerkwater railroad in
South Carolina, and he soon enlarged
his capital of $1.35 to 100 times that
amount
Not long after this experience one
of the big news agencies heard of
Cole and grabbed him. Before long he
was in charge of a division or so for
that concern-and now he still is on
the sunny side of 3d. worth along to-
ward-well, he is worth a six-figure
sum- all right, anyway!
In casting about for a vice chair
man of the important Ways and
Means Committee of the House,
Speaker Burwell looked into Coles
record. He became convinced that
Cole was one of the safest and sanest
business men in the House, and as
that was exactly what he was lOkking
for, Cole got the assignment.
Coles inheritance tax bill is House
bill No. /, and is generally accepted as
the most intelligent inheritance tax
measure pending in the Legislature.
It likely is the one that viii be enact
ed into law. Cole never introduced
It until he felt sure it was right and
modelled along the most approved
lines

Some Evening Reveries

The illustration of the sea- bird
drawn to its doom BY the glare OF
the beacon light finds no truer
phototype than in the case Of the
country girl lured from her home
by dreams of fortune to be realized
IN the great city. As ignorant of
the wiles of evil as a mouse is of
the mechanism Of trap, unsophis-
ticated in the Establishments of
sins; holding blankly to the belief
that sheep and goats never mingle,
she drops into the mael-storm of a
city existence as a snowflake settles
into the river. Zone moment
white, then gone forever. y There
lie in wait for innocence, the wide
world over, a legion of plotting
devils arrayed in livery of light,
honest appearing advertisements
that are tent hooks with which the
devil angles for souls; employers
who scarely take the pains to hide
the fangs of wolves behind their
smiling lips; boardlng-houses in
tested with other and more hideous
vermin than the rat and the roach;
companionship of more fatal effect
to the soul than hydrant water to
the health; counsellors who spin
viewless webs and plot ruin as the
spider works destruction to the
stupid fly. All these, and great
many more, pitfalls lie in the way
Of the country girl as she turns her
light stnn from the cowslip and the
grees + to take her place in the
ranks of those who walk the path
Of daily toll.
