COILS ?.

A Connecticut boy-one of nine children
born in 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. At a very early 6 he was COM
PEELED to do such work as he could. Ex-
cepting four months in the year, when at
school, he worked hard all the time. He
was II years of age when he went to
work for a neighbor at 81 per month and
board. At the end of the year he had
saved all the money thus earned. At the
age of 81 he had saved enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news of the
discovery of gold in California came,
he drew $1,000 from his business and
started west via the Isthmus of Panama.
For want of shipping facilities he, with
many others, was detained on the Isthmus
for three months. During this time he
traded in commodities and made 1000,
to add to his original $1,000.
He located in Sacramento and engaged
in the hardware and miners supply BUSH
ness. In a few years he had sufficient
capital to undertake uniting the two
coasts with a railroad.
To his untiring efforts are we indebted
for the first trans-continental railroad.
He amassed q fortune Of over 80 million
dollars.

 In Kansas City they tell of a broker who moved from the city out into the country. He went out some distance and. since the railway was povertv- stricken and the service consequently poor, he travelled to and from town by automobile.
 After time he decided to go in for chicken raising. and ordered patent chicken coop. On the day it was expected to arrive he set out in dray to fetch 1t from tho freight office. He reached the railway staton--whieh by the way he had never seen-after an hours drive. No one was in sight. but there was his chicken coop. With his mans assistance he soon had 1t on the dray, and set off for home. He had proceeded but n few rods, however, when he encountered . han in uniform, with the title station Master on his cap.

TARIFF REFORMERS
 ARE NOW SATISFIED
League Announces It Will Support All Regular Dem-
 0cratic Nominees

Washington, October s1.-(Special.) General notice that the American Tar fir Reform league will support all regu- lar candidates of the democratic party In the coming election and will not make tariff revision an issue has been given out by President Isaac Lawrence of the league, which is probably the leading tariff reform orsani. ,tion in the country Among the officers are: Herman Ridder. Claus A. Spreckels, Senator John Sharp Williams and Gov ernor Glynn of New York.
 In an open letter to "all 1914 demo- cratic candidates" MT. Lawrence says that the league "has resolved unani- mously to support all regular candi- dates of the democratic party in the 1914 elections" To which he adds:
 .The league will rest content with the present revised tariff laws and will not engage in any further agita- ton for further tariff reform legisla- tion until the presidential campaign of 1916.
 The league recognizes the fact that to win this year the democratic party will have to maintain the integrity of the party organization in every state in the union, and that the democratic tickets throughout the country will in no case be stronger than their weak est parts in any state
 'The democratic party has kept the faith with the tariff reformers of the country, and the tariff reformers of the country will in this years elections keep faith with the democratic party by supporting the local, state and na- tional candidates of the democratic party in the United States at the polls on November 8, 1914"
 All democratic candidates are author ized by Mr. Lawrence to use his letter as inducements in their respective dis tricts.

Never Friends of South


 "The standpat republicans never have been friends of our cotton farmers once heard the gentleman from New York, mr. Payne, the author of the Payne tariff bill. criticize our farmers organizations of the south as trusts, and say that cheap cotton was in the interest of his people. The representa- tives of the Farmers union have been here day after day trying to aid us in securing relief for our stricken people. I have met with them time and again, as have many other members from the south. in trying to solve this grave question, and the Henry bill Is the re- suit of these meetings. l intend 10 vote for 1t or something like 1t, IT the opportunity is given me. MT. Bar- rett the great president of the Farm ers' union; MT. Ford. the worthy Ala bama state president of that great body, and many others who have been with us can testify to my activity ana zeal and that of other southern mem bers
 T am sure, MT. Speaker, that some relief will come soon to the southern farmers without the Henry bill, but not to the extent that I know they de- serve. They ought to have at least ID cents a pound for their cotton to pay the actual expense of production.'v
 Then, predicting the opening of the federal reserve banking system by NOV ember 16, and the formation of the cotton relief pool, MT. Burnett said that while these features would raise cotton to 10 cents. he thought some thing should be done which would ad- vance it to 12 cents.
 "Not only Is the southern farmers crop in dire distress" continued MT Rurnett "but In speaking for him am speaking for the merchant and the hanker whom he owes, the banker whom the merchant owes and tho
 graat northern banker whom the south
