TALKS ON THRIFT
No. 35.-SUCCESS THROUGH
THRIFT

"The finest thing that ever hap
pened to me, the finest thing that
ever happened to any young fell

Luther Bailey was a small town
merchant in New York State many
years ago. One of his customers went
West, leaving an unpaid account Of
several hundred dollars, which he
promised to pay as soon as he could.
Time went on and still the debt was
unpaid Finally the debtor offered his
creditor in payment piece of vacant
real estate he had acquired in the
western city. Mr.. Bailey accepted it
because he believed that half a loaf
was better than none. To make a
long story short, this land increased
in value with the growth Of the city
Mr.. Bailey in time, sold it at a good
profit. Instead of blowing it in," as
many men would have done under
similar circumstances, he saved it
and reinvested it from time to time,
with the result that in his later
years he, was very rich and when
he died his children were we'll pro-

Uric Acid Poison
UndermineS Health
Rheuma Drives Ii From the System
and Eliminates Rheumatism.

Ever since Rheuma has been sold in
this vicinity, the sale of this marvellous
rheumatism remedy has been steadily
on the increase. This is due to the fact
that Rheuma is guaranteed to eliminate
rheumatism or money back.
1t is quick acting rem edy, too. You
do not have to wait a long time for
results. Rheuma starts at once to act
on the kidneys, liver, bowels and blood,
and before "a hours the poisonous uric
acid, the chief cause of rheumatism,
has begun to pass out of the body
through the regular channels. 1t is also
good for govt and neuralgia.
One 5O-cent bottle will prove to any
rheumatic sufferer that Rheuma surely
will cure rheumatism. Sold by Fisher
Bros. and all druggists. Advertise

At Salt Leke

We stopped at Salt Lake City, at
tended the Sunday service and heard
the big organ and large choir in the
tabernacle which has a seating capa-
city of 5000 people. The great temple
is 1863 feet long and SO feet wide, built
of granite, is on piece of land con-
tanning 10 acres and is surrounded by a
stone wall and cost $4,000, 600. The
city and county building cost ST., 600, 600
are constructed of gray sandstone
beautifully carved and the interior is
finely marked with yellowish, native
onyx. There is fine clock and chime
bells. The state house is also fine
building.
One place in the mountains we went
ID miles to get four as we had to go
round and round. We could often see
both ends of the train which at times had
three engines. We travelled all night and
one day through the desert. Tn ere were
hot winds, sand and groves of cactus
that were as large as good sized ap.
pie tree and looked at distance like
arge apple orchards.

Our next stop was at Colorado
Springs where we visited The Garden
of the Gods The Soils red :. from the
iron and Theodore the stone in red and
white and the white can be- worked
into souvenirs and books but the red
crumbIes. The Cheyenne and Ute
Indians used to worship the tail stones,
a white and red one which are side by

Pixies Peak is near. A monument is
erected here in the park in memory of
zebulin Montgomery Pike. who was the
first white man to find Pixies Peak.
There are stones here in the Gardenin

birds and faces. Colorado Springs, Col
orado City and Manitou are really one
city making in all about $4,000 inhabi-
tants. AS we came near the mountains
we found it much cooler and the fruit
and lilacs were just beginning to bloom,
being two weeks later than oursain Wis

| rounded by mountains. From there we
went to Aspen silver mining town to
visit Eunice McGilvra Startling. We saw
many kerosene oil wells and went
through the Royal Gorge by daylight
on an observation car, and it was glori-
GUS. At the Tennessee Pass we were
10, 242 feet above sea level The
Arkansas river flows al the foot of
these mountains. Across this river we
saw state prison convicts working on
the road They were working on their
honor with just one foreman over them.
This is called the rainbow route. There
is snow on many Of the mountains. We
gathered some large white primroses
on the mountains, took drink at the

Fishing Boats Destroyed.

Stonington, Jan. 13.-The steamer Puritan of the New England Naviga- tion company, which has been laid up here for about six months broke away from her dock during the heavy blow on Long Island Sound last night and drifted across the slip crushing or sinking five fishing boats No one was injured. Three hawsers parted at the bow allowing the Pur- itan to swing about. She is now held by d single stern line. Only the watchman was on the Puritan and he remained on board.
 The steamer Nomad, the largest of the fishing boats, caught by the Pur- itan was crushed between that yes sel and the dock on the other side of the slip. The Nomad carried a crew of twelve but none of the crew was on board at the time. Other yes sels sunk were the Francis Bell, owned by Grover Eldredge of Stonington. the Cornelia J., owned by Captain Abra- ham Jenkins of this place, and two other boats. the names of which are not known, one of them being owned by Carpenter Brothers of Newport R. r.

CIvIH SERVICE WORK.

According to advices from sources close to republican state headquarters the legislature will make a change in the civil service law so that the comptroller will be able to discharge the superintendent of the state capitol and his assistant because they are democrats, and appoint republicans in their places. Their successors have all ready been appointed, but the attor- ney general says that the action was unjustifiable and before the two dem ocrats can be removed charges must be preferred against them. This must be done under the provision which says that no person shall be removed discharged, or reduced in rank or pay because of religious or political opin- ion or utilization.
 The purpose of such a provision is plain, the object being to secure for the state competent servants, and that they cannot be removed for political
 
 amend it that the provision in question shall be nullified will be no credit to the legislature but will prove that the sole aim of the republican party is to obtain control of the political patron age of the state and that it will not stop at anything to gain that point Connecticut ought to be above that kind of thing; it is difficult some times to take a forward step but once taken and it is found that the step is in line of progress it should not go back, especially on d matter of polti- cal spells which has been the bone of every government and is generally understood to be at the bottom of the greater part of the troubles that beset municipalities. The present legisla- ture is republican in both branches and if the members chose they can amend the law so as to permit the removal of two admitted efficient em- ployes for political reasons alone and the appointment of two more on solely political recommendation. The legis- lature could easily be engaged in bet ter business than that.

The Uplift of the U. F.
(New York Worlu.)

Union Pacific employees are urged in a New Year circular letter to love their rivals, take at least three baths a week and three pints of cold water a day, cultivate a love for music, lit erature art and children, search their own souls and sleep without dream ing. All this in the interests of eff1- ciency
 Without disputing the general ex- cellence of these admOnitions, we may reflect that they do not point to the late MT. Harriman's way of mak- ing a railroad man. Nor yet to Jim Hills way, Commodore Vanderbilt's way, or the way of MT. Mellen. Not even the late George F. Baer, dis pensing coal and transportation by divine right. arrived at these mani festations of the higher thought with regard to self-disciplined train crews, yard gangs and office staff.
 On some roads of the good old or der the impression still prevails that mon can do fairly acceptable work who know the block signals, the use of the air brake, the mechanism of coupling and switch and the rather vital import of the time table, and who, outside of these professional ac- plishments, are pretty decent and steadfast citizens according to their own lights. We shall. watch with interest the processes of the new philosophy of efficiency in bringing conversion to these conservative es- tablishments
 Of course the IT. P. course in bet torment, like Col. ROOsevelt's late uplift for the downtrodden agricul- turist, is to be pursued outside the routine of road operation. It would be crowding things with vengeance to try to get it all into an eight hour or ten hour day.

Autobiography A of q Thug. Cleveland Plain DealerD

Most people know in a general way how thugs are bred. It is not often however, that one has opportunity to read the autobiography of one, writ ten in ignorant good faith with no thought of art or artificial effect but With every indication of brutal truth
 The story is told by Rabbit a
 New York gangster recently convicted
 of murder and sent to prison for twenty years. Rabbit" is now 23. Murder is to him a mere incident in life of violence.
 'Rabbit' begins his chronicle at ten years of age. He played hookey'' so often that he was sent to truant school for seven weeks. Soon after ward he got five days in the N. Y |. C. and came out and then went
 back for three months and they couldn't do without me and got sleeping time, which is two years.'
 He came out, "f1oated around and got nailed' and was sent to the Home of Refuge for forty-two months Breaking parole, he was soon back for three months. Soon he "got hooked again and a year in the House of Refuge followed
 A short time later our autobi- ographer got dropped for highway" put was soon released. He opened a drug store, but collided with the law and was sent to Elmira as full-Hedged soldier for seventeen months and twenty days" He came out; a cop tried to see how hard my head was:" a fine and a hospital rest A friend of the first "cop," within month told me it was against the law to look cock-eye and he started to trim me- The young gangster tried to "comb his hair with lamp" six months in prison.
 Thus runs the story of thirteen years in the life of Rabbit" "Once ] worked little while as tele- graph boy,' he told the judge. The rest of the thirteen years he was stealing trucks for a living"
 Who is responsible for a creature like this, and what should society do with him? Was there a point any where in the career of Rabbit" where society could have stepped in and saved him for society's goodc How many more gunmen of this same type are there in course of breeding in the cities of America at the pres- ent moment?

 Then, when they began to under stand, to some slight extent, the mag nitude and awfulness of this war, I would say to them:
 Now go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your oppor- tunites. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life.
 'Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money.

City Managing as a Profession.
(Chica go Tribune.) )

Illinois has at least two "city mana. gers" of the new type. and it is no vio- lent presumption that she is interested in the progress of the city manag scr plan of administratio
 With what amazement one read. some years back, the items from Ger many telling us of the Teutonic way of electing mayors-Of advertising for them all over the empire and giving a trained man the position regardless of residence, politics, or what not. Now the Idea seems far less startling. We are not as yet thinking of advertising for our mayors, but in conjunction with the commission form of govern. ment or notifications of that form we are slowly developing the science of city managing and the. profession of city manager.
 A City Managers association actu- ally came into existence a few weeks ago. The latest report showed about nineteen cities and villages under the city manager plan, and several com- munities are about to submit the same plan to a referendum. The Un-. iversity of Wisconsin has estabIishe ed a course for would-be city managers and it seems very liberal and pract,- cal one.
 According to an admira ble sum mary in the Independent, the first meeting of the city managers, held at Springfield, O., was a sort of cele- bration of the growth of the idea as well as a candid discussion of the con- ditions of it's fruitful application. The city manager must have power and experience, and he must be honest, intelligent, and alert. The tendency is to give the position to an engineer a very favorable sign. Educated and practical business men have the next best chance. Spells and politics would, of course, mean managing the city or village into bankruptcy or dem Oralization.
 Meantime why should not mayors elected under the old plan select fit and strong department managers and demand the application by these of sound business principles? Echo an- swers "why." The question is very pertinent just now here in Chcago. with mayoralty talk in the air all around us.

THREE STATES HARD
 HIT BY GULF STORM
Telegraph ard Telephone Wires CfIppI5d-- Transportation HampeTcd.

Boston, Jan. 13.-The gulf storm of yesterday, attained it's maximum strength off the southeast coast at dawn today, causing much damage in Rhode Island, Connecticut and south eastern Massachusetts. Many tele- graph and telephone wires were crip- pied, transportation by land and sea was hampered, and the highest tides in ten years were driven into Massa- chusetts Bay. The effect of the storm was slight to the north of this city.
 Scores of Poles Broken.
 Damage to the southern section be- gan when the rain turned to snow early today, and the wind increased rapidly until it reached hurricane ve- locities at Block Island and Nan tucket. The telegraph wires sagged under the weight of snow, and the gale broke poles by the scores in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
 Summer residences on the shore line of Massachusetts Bay from Sand wich to Cape Ann were badly dam aged by the high tide. At Win throp and Nahant street railway lines had to suspend operations because of flooded tracks. Damage was re- ported also at Nantasket Cohasset and other points on the south shore.
