HIS LONG PULL
BY n. NJ. EGBERT.

Nobody knew why Hawkins, the
factory clerk, was a permanency with
the Copperplate & Tin company, but
it was vaguely surmised that he had
some sort of pull there Hawkins
was an embittered man; it was said
that he had been the inventor of the
copperpIate process, and that old
Green, the millionaire bachelor who
owned the factory and spent his life
abroad, had jockeyed him out of 1t
and given him life job at hundred
a month in partial amends. But Green
had not been In the factory for
years The works had automatically
continued under the charge of the ex-
perienced men who operated them,
and Green was satisfied to draw his
hundred thousand annual profits and
leave the operations alone
The only change made within the
past seven years had been the arrival
of the new superintendent, Blair, and
the vacancy which he filled had been
caused by the death of his predeces-
sor.
Times were comparatively hard, and
old Hawkins was certainly valueless
to the firm. Blair spoke to Adkin, his
assistant
Say, what sort or a pull mas tnaC
old duffer?" he asked What's this

Green? l have had no instructions
about him"
"Why-he's a sort of fixture" said
Adkins. "a friend of the old mans
once, 1 believe. Everybody knows
that he's not to be fired"
We'll, I'm going to call that bluff
said Blair. "Out he goes at the end
of the month Besides, even if the
bluffs true, guess Mr.. Green has for
gotten him, and by the last reports
he isn't well enough to care Poor
old chap, they say he can't live more
than a few months"
This referred to Green, not to

Dakotas and into Nebraska distrib-

Possibly, but even more men will
remember how in the famous battle

Tommy Allen, came back from Wall

Nobody knew that for nearly ten
years Hawkins had taken Miss Smith
for a walk in the park every Sunday
afternoon, supping with her at a cheap
restaurant afterward, and bidding her
good-by at the door of her fiat Miss
Smith was thirty-seven and prim. She
would have died with shame had any
body known that she had a gentle
man friend"
Hawkins had never said a word to
Miss Smith about the terms of his
engagement. That was part of the
contract between himself and Green.

drel, when Hawkins was thirty-two
and was planning to fight Green for

And Hawkins, desperately poor. was
forced to yield.
If only Hawkins were head of the
factory, He would show them how
1t should be run. He knew every
process in every department; he had,
indeed, made a study of it with a
view to some day starting rival con-

Small Cheer for Proeressives.

II The South Dakota primary re-
turns are true omen, will there be
q Progressive presidential ticket in
1916? When the plain voters who Sc
ceded in a frenzy in 1912 are slipping
back into the Republican ranks at the
rate that the figures from states like
South Dakota and California indicate,
win the Progressive leaders of the
last campaign be able to resist the
temptation to go with the crowd, in
spite of the eloquent urgings of George
W. Perkins and similar investors?

OF all the rotten jobs we have seen

Bulletin recently issued by the State

course the State College and its Off

go through our excellent ~ public
printing department that lets con-
tracts to the lowest bidder regardless
of the kind of work they turn out. 1t
Is a disgrace to an institution like
the State College. or any other state
institution for that matter, to be oblig-
ed to issue a job such as the Mitchell
Publishing Co. has turned out, but we
don't see how 1t can be avoided under
present conditions. The public printer
could refuse to accept the job or cut
still more on the price for inferior
work, but the state printer knows and
the Mitchell Publishing Co. knows
that there Is no time left to produce
a decent job in time to properly ad-

That Monkey Wrench

The hoist, compressor and engine
had been ordered for some months.
and it had at last arrived at the
nearest town to the prospect. The
G. M, with his five assistants, su .
perintended the unloading from the
cars to the wagons, and the ma
chinery was eventually unloaded onto
the ground at it's destination and
assembled in position ready for con-
nection. When 10, to the chagrin of
the G. M. and his five assistants, it
was discovered that the firm had
sent no monkey wrench to assist
in making the connections. There was
a consultation of all the wise men.
1t was suggested by one that they
send to town for a few monkey
wrenches, but he was so severely re-
buked, and looked upon with such
disgust that he Withdrew from the
council, when it was unanimously
agreed that the firm shipping the
machinery ought to have sent the
monkey wrench and that a telegram
at once be dispatched by a man on
horseback to the telegraph office in
town so miles away, instructing the
machinery firm to send a monkey
wrench Immediately. if not sooner.
Everyone lounged around looking at
everybody else for twelve days and
at last that monkey wrench arrived.
Then it took three days more to
send and get back with two other
monkey wrencheS f,om toun ard

ROME, July 11.-Luigi Rodriguez,
who claims to be the Marchese di
Santa Cruz, Cavalier of Santa Marta
a grandee of Spain and cousin of
King Alfonso, has been sentenced to
30 months Imprisonment in Milan
for fraud.
Rodriguez. who was born in San
Salvador, refused to plead to the
Bench, saying that it was not fit for
a grandee of Spain to defend him
self. From records produced it APP
pears that Rodriguez is, in fact, re-
lated to persons of high degree in
Spain, but that these relatives have
had nothing to do with him since he
was condemned to prison for fifteen
years for swindling. At various
times he had been a merchant. a
doctor and a priest, but in 1904 he
lost five children in a motor acct
dent, and the next year his wife
died These misfortunes gave him the
idea of raising money from the loss
of those nearest and dearest to him.

nize his relationship with the King

Shattuck &. Arizona

Duluth, Minn.-Shattuck & Arizona
mine development continues to be at
tended with the most satisfactory
results. The current report Of the
superintendent, Arthur Houle, says
in part:
During the past two weeks good
ore showing has been encountered on
the 400 level in crosscuts 20 and 55,
which gives evidence of bringing in
some important ore-bea:ing territory.
New find in intermediate A87 raise
on the 500 level opens up good pos
sibilities, about which more will be
known in the next thirty days. New
ore zone developed in crosscut 80 on
the 700 level is one of the most en- =
couraging finds that we have made
in the past five months, the ore
carrying about Is per cent copper.
The character of the ore indicates
good ore bearing territory in the i'm
mediate vicinity. No. 9 crosscut on
the 700 level also has shown good
ore streaks from 80 crosscut to the
present face.
The stopping territory in the older
ore bodies is looking well, and new
ore is being found in this section
daily. Shipments continue on a
basis of eight 50-ton cars daily"
The development of high grade ore
on the 700 level especially important.
taken in connection with encourag-
ing conditions on the 500 and 900
levels
Shattuck G. Arizona directors have
declared a regular quarterly divi-
dend of so cents share, the third
of this amount to be paid this year.
1t will make a total of Sc a share,
or 100000 so far disbursed by this
company.
Shattuck must now be earning at
the rate of $3.50 per share and it is
probable that the quarterly disburse-
! ments will be increased in the near
future, as arrangements have al
ready been made to increase con-
siderably the mine output. Shat
