Fauquier was a man of the world. a
scholar a lover of learning. courtier.
and said to have been "the ablest man
who had ever filled the office of Gov
ernor of Virginia. He was fond of JET
ferson, and exerted a strong influence
over him. The young student dined
there several times a week and spent
the evening discussing religion. law,
European politics and bellies lettres.
The seasoned scholar and the clever
student had many literary tastes in
common, and sometimes spent the night
discussing some favorite author over a
bowl of punch. 1t was in this colonial
court that Jefferson acquired those pol
ished manners which were the admira-
ton of the French court-and might
have been of the English, had not
George III turned his back on him.
In later life the great democrat be-
came something of recluse-or as
much of one as the public and his ad-
mirers would permit. But in his youth
he was fond of society, fox hunting
and tie sports of his time. He was
temperate in most things, never a hard
drinker; though when he stood for an
election he is said to have furnished
lunch and punch in plenty" and when
President his wine bill was $4,000 q
year 1t must be remembered. though,
that never before nor since has q
President kept open house as Jefferson
did.
One of his accounts while he was in
the White House shows that in the
year 1901, four pipes-126 gallons to
the pipe-of madeira were used in
seven months. This was the favorite
wine, but by no means the only one,
for in the same year an old account
shows that three pipes of Brazil ma
deira, a pipe of Ximenes Mountain. a
quarter cask of tent, key of Pach-
erette, sweet for the ladies'; fifteen
dozen claret and forty-five dozen sau-
terne were bought.
In 1902 Mr.. Jefferson bought sixty.
Ave gallons OF malaga. forty-five years
old: two pipes of sherry. half barrel Of
Syracuse. and hundred bottles Of
champagne. While. In 1903, his pur-
chases are augmented, and consist of
500 bottles of champagne. two half
pipes OF Lisbon; two pipes OF Brazil
madeira. 294 bottles of Chambertin
burgundy, fifty bottles of White Her
mitage. $50 bottles of Rozan Morgan. \
auarter-cask OF Mountain. Of vintage
1747
His fine Spanish wines he got through
the Spanish minister, Marquis Casa de
Yrujo. A French chef was employed
by Mr.. Jefferson. because he was very
partial to the French cuisine. and this
caused Patrick Henry to say that JEFF
ferson "abjured his native victuals."
In speaking Of Jefferson's love for
horses. hunting and the sports Of colonial
Virginia. and especially his love for
music and dancing, Mrs, Randall held up
finely knitted toe and heel sock of un-
bleached cotton. with the initials ct. J."
in red worked on the toes. She explained
that his wardrobe was never without
several pairs Of these socks. which he
wore under his silk or wooden hose to
protect his feet from the dyes which
were not as fast then as now, and that

ASkOV MARKETS
INVESTING MONEY.
Methods by Which Fortunes Have
Been Made In Wall Street.

Some persons like to throw dice
or play poker for money, while 9th
cr> buy real estate. Wall street Sc
rHritIe~, wheat. cotton. wool or 9th
or produce.
In the former class YOU find the
gamblers. They do not bank on
their Judgment, but on their luck.
In the latter class YOU ird the in
vestors, who buy because in their
Judgment they can make money
later on by selling.
Asman who buys a house with the
hope of selling it at IA better price
goes and looks at it.
He finds where it /; located, how
it is built, whether the neighbor-
hood is improving, what it rents for.
the taxes it must pay and all the
other incidentals on which to base
his best judgment.
This man. in nine cases out Of
ten, will make money, while the
gambler will just as surely lose, The
latter may have a little temporary
success, but the chances are against
him, as they always are against the
gambler. On the other hand. the
investor wins out in the ajority Of
cases.
The fortunes that have been
made in Wall street--and there are
plenty of them--have been made by
investors, seldom by gamblers. How
can one determine the value Of Sc
curities before he buys them? BY
inquiring into" their earnings, their
dividends, the character Of the man
agement and other matters not diff
cult to ascertain.
Because so many persons are
eager to make money in stocks, pro-
moters of questionable enterprises
send out circulars Of the most al
Turing character, promising enor-
nous returns to those who will buy
the shares of securities that inves-
tors never touch.
In these days the corporations
publish their earnings more freely
and accurately than ever before. On
the financial pages Of any leading
paper these reports appear. They
are the best barometer Of the stock
market, much better than the tips
from brokers offices and even from
bankers, for both are sometimes
more interested in selling securities
ON a good commission than in any
thing else.
A man who would buy a piece of
real estate in an undesirable neigh
borhood and where property was de-
preciating would be looked upon as
foolish, but men will buy the shares
Of securities that show declining
earnings and bad management and
wonder why they lose.-Jasper in
Leslie's Weekly.

pare a representative display of
Northwestern corn, which will
demonstrate to the most skepti-
cal that corn can, and is being
grown successfully in practically
every district of this great agri-
cultural section of the United
States.
The First National' Corn
Shows are held under the auspi-
ces of The First National Bank
and Northwestern Trust Com
pany of St. Paul and bankers of
the Northwest, with the object
of interesting farmers in the
growing of more corn, which has
contributed more to make the
United States a nation of great
wealth and prosperity than any
other product of the land.
Farmers and farmers sons in
the eight states included in the
Corn Show territory are invited
to enter contests and compete
for the beautiful Silver and
"Goldyn" Bronze loving cups
offered as prizes. No entry fee
is charged. Each state has been
divided into districts in such a
manner that exhibitors will only
have to compete with contestants
in their individual district, who
have grown corn under similar
soil and climatic conditions. Four
prize cups will be awarded in
each district, a first and second
prize for men and a first and
second prize for boys.

Northwestern Corn Growers
Promise Hundreds of
Exhibits for Corn
Show.
St. Paul, December 1l-16

Great interest is being mani
tested by corn growers of the
Northwest this season in the
Second Annual First NATIONAL
Corn Show which will be held in
St. Paul, December 11th to 18th,
inclusive. While the time limit
set for receiving entries for
Judging is December fifth, ex-
hibits are now arriving daily at
the Corn Show headquarters in
St. Paul. The number of re-
quests received for entry blanks,
and advices from corn growers
of their intention to enter con-
tests, would indicate that the
exhibits this year will greatly
outnumber the fifteen hundred
ten-ear samples entered at the
First National" Corn Show
which was held in St. Paul last
December. Promoters of several
shows being held locally through
out the Northwest have advised
the management of the St. Paul
Show, that a portion of their
exhibits, and in some cases all of
them, will be sent to St. Paul for
entry and display. This interest
on the part of corn enthusiasts
in sending in exhibits from Wis
consin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Wash,
ington, Oregon and Idaho, which
states comprise the Corn Show
territory, will enable the promo,
ters of the st. Paul show to pre-,
