his farewell address. were prepared
by others.
Some time ago obtained on excel
lent authority an anecdote which
shows that the surmise of the kind
mentioned may sometimes be justified,
and it is also a revelation of a ca
pacity for mental adaptability along
various lines which was illustrated
by an incident which happened some
years ago in Salt Lake City.
There arose a very important ques-
tion-it may have been a public ques-
ton or it may have related to some
undertaking that was of magnitude
Whatever the question was does not
affect the incident itself. A meeting
was held for discussion and it was
there decided that four men who were
of influence and authority in business
and industrial life should prepare ar
ticles which would set forth clearly
some of the features involved i'm this
proposition. 1t was expected that the
articles prepared by the four men
would thoroughly cover the subject.
There was an agreement that the
four men should meet on a certain
day after the articles were prepared
When they met. the suggestion was
made that one should read his article
and that it should then be discussed
and then another should read his
which should also be the subject of
discussion, and so on with the third
and fourth.
There was attentive listening to the
reading of the first article When the
reading was finished. silence prevailed
for a few minutes. and then one OF
these men said "That sounded ex-
actly as though It was written by
Judge c. c. Goodwin"
your Judgment is correct. II was
written for me by Judge Goodwin. bui
I'll stand by every word he says"
Then the second man read his arti
Gle. and when he finished another
said "Why, that article sounds al
though it were written by Judg
Goodwin"
I "It was written by Judge Goodwin
for me. aud I'll stand by every worr
he has written"
The third man then read his article
and when he was through they salt

TO him. "That sounds as though Judge
Goodwin had written IT," And his
reply was. THE judge did write it Tor
me. And he said exactly what I
should liked to have said myself"
Then the fourth man read his arti-
Gle, and when he finished he looked
around awaiting the usual declaration
that Judge Goodwin must have writ
ten that article" II came promptly.
And the fourth man said "He did
write it and he wrote exactly as |
would have written II I could"
There was no discussion upon these
articles They were accepted. They
were utilized and they served their
purpose well. and not until they had
been delivered in public did Judge
Goodwin know that all of the four
men had discovered his workmanship
in each Of the articles.

Was Engineer III?
Several theories have been adj
vanced One of them is that
Engineer Concannon had either
seen the warnings or had been told of
them by Fireman Atkins. who was in
a better place to observe them than
was the engineer, owing to the curve
on the approach to the bridge. and
had intended to drive up close to the
opening and stop his train, but had
miscaIculated the distance ana drove
into the open space. This theory, how
ever, does not seem likely in the
Judgment of railroad men. In the first
place they do not think that he would
have done this, and in the second they
say that he would have been able to
stop his train within a distance of
about three feet at the rate of speed
that he must have been travelling
when he drove on the bridge.
Another theory advanced by rail-

FIRE AT HOTEL KEOKUK
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Radiator on Second Floor Thought to
Have Been Startling Point OF
$500 Blaze.

The Keokuk hotel was visited by a
$500 fire yesterday afternoon about
1870 o'clock. A defective radiator on
the second floor is believed to have
caused the fire. which was luckily
checked before 1t had chance to
spread
The room in which the blaze orig
mated is about in the center OF the
building. The fire was confined to
this room on the second floor, but the
flames followed the walls and did
some damage in the room directly ov-
erhead.
When the fire was discovered. the
hotel extinguishers were used until
the blaze was apparently out, but 1t
was later found to be creeping up the
partitions to the third floor and under
the second floor. The fire depart
ment was called and one line OF hose
was laid and the chemical used. The
fire was finally extinguished by. the
use of the latter, the hose not being
used, after an hours work.
It was found that the fire originated
directly under the radiator on the
second floor. Yesterday was cold
day and the heat was turned on TO
the limit, and it Is believed that the
radiator was In some way responsible
for the blaze The manager, f. NJ
Bateman, presented the fire depart
ment with box Of cigars today.

OF the name of Governor Hughes from

To Put On Flesh =
And Increase Weight

Most people eat from four to six
pounds OF good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase In
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many Of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to say that
this is the nature of the individual. 1t
isn't Natures way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers Of assimilation are de-
fective. They absorb Just enough OF
the food they eat to maintain life and
a sembIance Of health and strength.
Stufflng won't help them. A dozen
meals a day won't make them gain a
single "stay there pound. All the
fat-producing elements OF their 1000
lust stay there in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
What such people need Is something
that will prepare these fatty 1000 ele-
ments so that their blood can absorb
them and deposit them all about the
body-sornething too, that will mul.
tinIy their red blood corpuscles and
increase their blood's carrying power.
For such condition 1t is well to
recommend eating a Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargoi Is not, as
some believe a patented drug, but Is
simply a careful combination of six OF
the most effective and powerful as
similattye and flesh building elements
known to chemistry. 1t is absolutely
harmless. vet has been wonderfully
effective and a single tablet eaten
with each meal often, according TO re
ports OF users, has the effect OF in
