answered "a handful of gold for the

generous donation to the poor, whom
Louise never forgot. -
Louise was born on March 10, 1176
She was the daughter of the Duke of
Mecklenburg- Strelitz, and on account
of the death of her mother when she
was child she was brought up by
her grandmother, woman of great
gifts of heart and mind. To her as
much as any one Louise owed her
kindness of heart and nobility of soul.
Added to these gifts she grew to be
a woman of extraordinary beauty and
personal charm.
When Louise was seventeen she ana
her sister were on a visit to the Prus-

Jones who first planned and who
finally worked out successfully a
combination into one system of two
parallel and competing systems. the
Boston and Maine being one and the
Eastern RAILROAD being the other.
Mr. Jones gained very high rep
utation for business integrity. He
was one of those of whom it could
be said that his word was as good
as his bond. I was one of the com
paratiVely few persons who knew that
he attributed his business successes
in great measures to a principle and
policy which he laid down very early
in his business life.

years exactly how and when he adopt

when it was adopted and what visible
form it took.
rWhen Frank Jones started out as
Yankee tinware peddler, | think at
time when he was not out of his
teens, he made up his mind that il
was a good business policy to get the
absolute confidence of all the farm
ers' wives throughout the region In
Maine, New Hampshire and north
eastern Massachusetts through which,
two or three times a year, he drove
his pedder's wagon.
He wanted to put in a few words
exactly what that principle was. He
thought a good deal about it and al
| last one day he went to a sign painter
and asked him to paint upon each
side of the wagon three words i'm big

basic principle of Frank Jones's bust

lieved in by all the farmers wives OF
whom he bought rags and scraI

immaculate and magnificent; loafs;

clean being condescend to dirt, run

I have a big gray cat. with glorious
long arching tail, a blooded cat, with
eyes of yellow green and the Lord

that in the dusk look bigger than the

Velvet cushions are hardly good

stained, whole tufts of his beautiful
fur missing, dirty and disconsolate

have washed him and he has washed
himself many time and oft.
In time he becomes naughty,
luxurious and Indifferent again.
Why do the cleanest cats joyfully

Journal.
| The late Lieutenant Colonel David
Du Bose Gaillard, United States ar
my, was a member of the Isthmian
| Canal Commission and engineer in
charge of the central division of the
Panama canal, which includes the
great Culebra cut. He was formerly
employed upon works of river and
harbor improvement, and had pub
lished a valuable book on water pow
er. In 1905 on my second visit to
the Panama canal works, | found him
installed as engineer in charge of the
Culebra cut Thanks TO his organi-
cation. everything worked smoothly
and rapidly, and the neatly terraced
sides of the cut stood firmly. But
when I next visited the canal in 1910,
the bottom of the cut was already
upheaving. The rotting and disin-
tegration of the rock went on so fast
that the remedies could not keep pace
with ii. and in 1872, when | last went
through the cut with Colonel Gail
lard. the upheaVal of the bottom and
the collapse of the sides were still
going on.
Gaillard had also been entrusted
with the construction of the dyke con-
Meeting Naos Island with the main
land, and here every foot subsidized
some time after the material had
been dumped. Thus, in the last four
years of his life, he thought and la
bored increasingly upon an excavation
of which the sides would not stand
up, and a construction of which the
foundation sank. He was an active,
alert and vigorous man in the prime
of life. His intelligence was above
the common and his mind worked
quickly. His great personal charm
gave him many friends. and he had
that wide range Of intellectual inter
est which is so useful to man bur
dened by an arduous task. But at
last the strain broke him down. He
left the isthmus in August last and
from that time until his death in De
cember he was in a state of partial
or total stupor. Such a work as the
dividing of a continent requires the
sacrifice of men as well as money,
and Gaillard spent himself willingly
in the execution of his task.

You've made the model stand throne,
Transformed bare walls to faery scene
AS pigeons strut about the caves
And circle skyward sure and free,

About your sloeback crown of hair.
