anticipating Fulton's Clermont by
twenty years. Fitch was a native OF
Connecticut and prior to building
his steamboat had been an armorer
in the military service during the
Revolution, surveyor in virginia
and a manufacturer of sleeve but
tons in Trenton. In 1875 he COM
menced work on his first steamboat,
after experimenting with a skiff pro-
PEELED by steam. The pioneer craft
was fitted with an engine of twelve
inch cylinder, and though the boat
did not attain sufficient speed to an
swer the purpose of packet, the
trial proved conclusively the efIicien-
cy of steam as a motive power for
vessels. In 1888 Fitch built sec
ond steamboat, which made several
passages between Philadelphia and
Burlington at a rate of four miles
an hour. In 1890 a third craft was
built and was run as passenger
craft on the Delaware, making dur
ing the season more than 1000
miles at an average speed of seven
and one-half miles an hour. AL
though John Fitch scored the first
practical steam navigation, he was a
failure financially, and in 1898 he
committed suicide at Bardstown.

THE MOST TROUBLESOME WORD


What is the most troublesome

That question was asked DR.. w. l..
Burdick, professor Of law in Kansas
University. the other day. He re-
piled:
"With the exception Of the ubiqui-
tous little word yes which gets us
all into trouble, should say the word
guarantee or its equivalent, war
rant probably is the most trouble
some word. People are being de-
frauded continually because they per-
sist in misunderstanding that word
guarantee For example, certain
Kansan (name deleted) went into an
auction house in big city in another
state. A plausible person with no
decisions as to guarantee sold my
friend a guaranteed watch. watch
guaranteed to have been imported
from Switzerland and to have twenty
one jewels. And 1t was a genuine
Swiss watch. 1t did have twenty-one
jewels. But 1t wouldn't run. In fact
1t was absolutely useless as a time
piece. My friend appealed to city au-
thorities. They told him he had no
recourse. The auctioneer hadn't
guaranteed 1t to run.
Guarantee means, I'll make
this right IL it isn't as l say II I do
not say the watch, horse, molasses or
what-not will run, you can't hold me
responsible for breaking my guaran-
tee II they do not run. Why, this is
guaranteed says seller to buyer
and the buyer buys on the strength Of
that word guarantee Guaranteed

tee also implies 1t is the course Of

home and always of established rep
utable dealers whose standing as
