Fair Warning as to Doings in
Her Absence.

Harry Godfrey has granddaughter

ideas all her own about things out
of doors. A short time ago grand
dad planted a patch of potatoes in his
garden. Miss Three-Year-Old observed
the proceedings with interest. Pres
emily darkness came on and size was
missing from the family hearth. A
search Immediately was instituted,
and, to the surprise of all, they found
her sitting beside row of potatoes.

granddaddy inquired a bit peevishly

You've scared us all half to death
Unwillingly she took granddad'

Suddenly she broke away and rar

Long and Trying Struggle.
Beach Park was a sad affair for the
rest of the season. The respectable
element would not go there because
of its general reputation. and the
rough element would not torture itself
in such a deadly dull place. Women
and children went there on summer
days and found relief from the heat
OF the city and persons who loved
boating and fishing continued to give
their patronage to it, but the receipts
were decidedly less than under the
old regime.
Next year Humphrey had a desper-
ate time. Every day meant a loss,
and his capital dribbled away stead

he went about his business as usual
and kept his own counsel.
The third year Humphrey was il.
possession tested his courage to the
limit. The days when the receipts
equaled the expenses were rare. The
days when the losses were big were
many. The popcorn man had to rake
and scrape and make sacrifices to
keep up appearances. His brother

1t had been proved so conclusiVely
that the public would have nothing
to do with Beach Park that no one
supposed Humphrey would be so fool

season, as to waste more of his tim'
and hard-earned money on 1t. Blu

bIithely as ever. 1t was the old story
until about the middle of the season.
Then there was slight improve
ment. Somebody of consequence and
influence told somebody else that the
place was changed so much he hardly
could recognize it He was so glow
ing in his picturing of the charm OF
the park that the other man was
tempted to go there. He was sur

Both Decent and Paying.
Before that fourth season closed
Beach Park was paying expenses. 1t
opened next year with an excellent
business, and in a month or two 1t
was having a patronage such as it
never had known before. 1t was ex-
actly the place for a respectable man
and his family. There were no toughs.
There we're no bars. Everything was
moderate in price, yet good. There
were no shooting galleries, no fortune
tellers, no freaks or fakes or loop the
loop or thrillers in the way of roller
coasters with sensational dips that oc-
casionally brought disaster. But there
was everything that was legitimate
and safe and decent. The dancing
pavilion was a delight. There was
dancing master there to instruct
the awkward or the young or to
check any tendency to impropriety.
The music was of the best for dane
ing purposes. Comparatively few per-
sons realize what a big difference
the music makes in the enjoyment OF
| dancing.
Instead OF the sideshows and fakes,
Humphrey had charming pavilions'
shady hooks, rustic paths, grassy
lawns and grottos. There were roller
coasters and miniature railroads and
some really entertaining but by no
means noisy, shows. And the restau-
rants! The town never had had bet.

In addition to the joys of good eat

About this time a little more than a
hundred years ago in the history OF
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint of un-
scrupulous work, which brought great
loss to owners on account of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin of cargoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson of Pittsburgh,
whose decision was rendered Novem-
ber Z, 1907 A boat owned by Mr..
Winchester struck on a rock a few
miles below Pittsburgh, was stove, and
sunk. The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness. The master
produced a rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact, and claimed
that had it not been for this the ac'
cident would not have happened. The
master was discharged by the justice,
and Winchester had to lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment OF
inspectors, but not until 1872.

make a big success OF the enterprise
All the persons who went TO the
park were not drinkers OF soft stun.
Various gentlemen, seeing what
crowds were being attracted TO the
park, wished they could induce
Humphrey to let them have the bar
privilege at his newly-made gold
mine. Some approached him on the
proposition, but never again. Then
they did what they considered tc be
the next best thing. They opened sa-
looms across the broad highway from
the main entrance to the park. Some
Of those saloons were pretty tough,
Humphrey did not like his saloon
neighbors. He determined to get rid
Of them. Rigging up powerful search
lights in his grounds. he directed the
rays of the searchlights upon the sa-
looms. Nobody could enter without
being truly in the spot light. Decent
men didn't like to make exhibitions
Of themselves. so they lodged those
saloons. The liquor men threatened
lots of things to Humphrey. but went
no further than to sue out an intunc-
ton restraining him from using his
battleship searchlights. That was pie
for the popcorn man. The papers
made big stories out Of the fight
Humphrey got more advertising than
he could have bought for thousands
of dollars. And the injunction was
set aside. Thereupon the search
lights came into play again. Tae
crowd at Beach Park thought 1t high
ly enjoyable to see an occasional per
son try to get into a saloon without
being spotted. People went out Just
to see this show.
Every Visitor Gets Value.
The searchlights drove the saloons
out of business and Beach ParB

Keeping Apples or Vegetables.

Persons who have an opportunity to
bury apples or vegetables in the
ground will find this an excellent
method of keeping them. After remov'
ing the soil to a depth of about two
feet a platform should be built, and
over this straw should be spread
enough to support the fruit. AS the
fruit is stored in place it should be
covered with straw. and this mounded
over with earth and provided with a
small ventilating top, which should be
closed during the very cold weather.
The earth mound keeps the fruit and
vegetables nine and fresh. but, OF
course, is not available to all persons.
It should be covered with thickness
of earth of from one to two feet, ac-
cording to locality and contemplated
temperature, and the north and west
sides should be covered with straw
protected by boards, to give special
protection against the penetration OF
the cold during the most vigorous
winter weather.

PLEADS FOR MEXICANS
LIMO ASKS FRIENDSHIP FOR PEo-
PIE OF REPUBLIC.
Presidents Envoy to Huerta's Capital
ForeteIls Bright Future for Nation
-Lauds Wilson's Policy.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-John Lind, per
sonal representative of President VIII
son in Mexico during the Huerta ad-
ministration, made a plea here for
warmer and kindlier spirit on the part
OF Americans toward the Mexican peo-
pie. He spoke before the Industrial
club at a banquet in the Congress
hotel.
Mr.. Lind pointed out the difference
in the results of the diplomacy exer-
cised by President Wilson and that
exercised in Europe. He told of condl-
tions in the southern republic during
the recent trouble and declared Huerta
could not have established peace even
had he been recognized by the unite1
States.
II want to make a plea for warmer
and kindlier interest in our neigh
bors," said Mr.. Lind. They bear US
no i'll will. They need our good will.
We need theirs. We must be friends
in peace and allies in trouble.
The people of Mexico dwell in a
rich and beautiful land. | feel that
they are a people of great promise,
They have suffered vicissitudes
which we have escaped. I believe that
they are emerging into the light OF a
new and better day. They may fail
at times. But ! would rather have
them stumble and fall travelling our
way than to see them slide gracefully
back into the bondage, the ignorance
the vice and sloth of the sixteenth
century.
81 have asked myself, and l asked
some of the critics of President VIII
sons policy, whether it was not within
the range of probability that people
who within brief generation had re
sponded with great facility to the new
social and economic environment
might make equivalent progress in the
field of politics and government. i
afforded fair chance. l am hopeful
aye confident, they will.
The hard experience Of the Mexi
can has made him wary and suspi
cious. 1t has been difficult for th'
Mexican people to believe that on
president did not have some ulterio
motive in his proffered assistance AM
good Offices.
Europe condemned the idealism o
our president as we'll as his diplomacy
They are reaping the fruit of their d
plomacy, we of ours. Which do yo
prefer? Fortunately, in the case q
Mexico, idealism and practical state:

Mr.. Lind advocated the establish
ment of branch banks in Mexico.

HELP FOR SMALL FACTORIES
Mississippi Valley Trade Conference
Wants to Assist the Little Con-
Germs in Getting Business.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 21.-Foreign
tlsde for the small factories will be
the slogan Of the Mississippi Valley
trade conference, in session here,
with delegates from II states in the
valley.
In the Mississippi valley there are
more than twenty thousand small fac
tories, scattered from New Orleans to
Montana, none of which have any
means of getting in direct communities
ton with buyers outside the United
States. AS the result, when business
is slack in the United States the en-
ployees are cut of work, and the own
ers are out of income. The big con-
Germs don't need help in getting for
eign trade, according to the delegates.

EUROPE.
STEEL MAGNATE OPTIMISTIC
World Must Have Food Supplies, but
Contracts for War Material Cut Very
Small Figure-Lauds Washington
Government.

New York, Nov 23.-Charles NJ.
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel company. returned from Europe
the other day with an optimistic out
look in regard to business conditions
in the United States.
In his clear. direct manner he
brought out several important points
in statement that he declares to be
his first optimistic interview in three
years.
For several years." he said, Il have
been rather pessimistic regarding bust-
ness conditions throughout the world,
and especially in the United States;
but now am free to say that believe
we are on the threshold of great
change.
The conditions in the United States
take on two phases-first, commercial
and, second, political. am convinced
that we are about to enter upon an
era of great business revival, and that
the depression which has hung so
heavy upon us for several years has
reached the end.
There is at best only narrow line
dividing good times from bad times,
and, in spite of the evil effect of the
war, with it's heavy check to the
worlds productions, conditions in
America are shaping so now that 1t
needs only degree of steadiness and
cool perseverance to translate bad into
good-to bring about complete resto-
ration of commercial confidence and
inspire an expansion instead of con-
tinuous contraction.
J After the first flush of discourage
ment has passed it must be seen that
we in America are in favorable posi-
tion because of the war.
: Our country is the only one so sit
: uated. We are the only nation today
that has imposed no export embar
goes. Every other neutral nation has
taken this step.
The markets of the world that have
been controlled in large part by Great
I Britain and Germany still exist They
{. demand supplies. and it is our duty
: and opportunity to answer the de
/ mand. The staples of life are still
I essential, and America can suppl!
+ these, and do it in such way tha
when peace comes again her position
l. should be secure in leadership.
There is, fear, mistaken impres
sion regarding the extent contracts TO
Z war supplies play in the upbuilding o
/ our trade. They are scarcely of sig
nificance in the bigger prospect tha
| is offered to our view. Their volum
is not sufficient to justify serious al
tention.
b There are only few materials W
d are in a position to supply withou
d contravening international law. 1t wi
g. be through the main body of our con
merce that the good times will b
- brought back anu our period of depre
r sion ended.
!, THE second phase l mention-poii
70 ical-bears heavily upon the return
n general confidence. Our governmer
at Washington has shown in ever
y way a disposition to end the enac
lie ment of what has been termed d
Is structive legislation. Whether or nj
such legislation has been properl
named need not discuss.
S "The true and thorough neutralit
Washington is preserving is gre;
e help at this time, and it will play
big part in our development"
