Why "Pin Money"

For long time after pins were in
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy. 1t
cost so much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end OF a
wire of the proper length to a point,
and then twisting piece Of finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requir-
ing as many different persons. In 1897
Timothy Harris of England succeeded
in making The first solid-headed pin.
IN 1924 an american named Wright
made rre., Improvement over Har-
is methoi, II in 1881 John l. Howe
of New York CITY invented a machine
for making pas - we now have them.

pensive ldyu.ior, il y rs customary to

custom lisapl "a long ago. hut The
term pin money remains.

Anthrax a Malignant Disease.

Anthrax is a disease propagated by
a spore which lives in the soil, and it
is almost always contracted first by
domestic animals. 1t is most fatal to
sheep. but it also causes regular an
nual mortality among cattle and
horses.
The anthrax spores may live in the
sell for as much as twenty years, so
that they are very difficult to eradi.
cate. About the only successful
method of disinfecting region where
anthrax has gained hold is to flood
the land. The spores will float away
and may be disposed of by this
method, provided the drainage ulti.
mately reaches a large river and is
carried to the sea; for they remain ac.
tive long time, and if allowed to set.
tie and dry will become actively in.
fectious again.

Snowsheds a Necessity.

Travellers passing through the Sierra
Nevadas during the winter are famil-
lar with the peculiar sights that follow
a heavy snowfall not accompanied
with wind, for they have seen build
ings completely buried from view. the
only indication of their presence be-
ing mound of snow shaped like the
roof They have seen small buildings
with snow perhaps ten feet deep on
the roof, and posts with such big
white cap that they looked like giant
mushrooms.
At numerous points snow twenty
five feet deep on the level is not I'M
common, and a one-story building.
buried to the caves, is frequent
sight This peculiar condition in the
Sierras was the cause for building the
snowsheds, which extend 80 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost is enormous.

We're square. Well, then, how about

Dalton shook his head drearily.

I'll lose it rather than take the lot

Jerry was seated in the midst of

Roland Dalton looked it, Young,

record ION the Board for two years,
but just now there was in his face an
appalling encouragement.

rold. The man who has thousands
where you have pennies"
Thank you said Kane.
He left her and went into his room.
Immediately before the defiant anger
had left her, she began hurriedly to
pack a suitcase. She cast away con-
temptuously the few things her hus-
band had been able to buy for her,
and went out. Kane, in his room,
heard the door of the hall slam behind
her.
Harvey Jerrold, the millionaire bro
ker, was quite willing to see his I'M
derpaid employee in his bachelor
apartment on the drive. He knew
why Kane had not been to the office
for three days. Edith had telephoned
him from her hotel the next morning.

wanted to go to her, but she, had re-

wife, but Edith Kane, despite her
worldliness, was prudent and, in a
way, honorable. She had held Jerrold
at arms length, and, even when he
began to talk about her divorce she
had refused to let him embrace her.
Besides, as every woman knows, il
you really mean man to marry you,
you must go about it with discretion
| And, though she cared nothing for
| Jerrold, Edith Kane was resolved to
have the spending OF his millions.
Jerrold had been on pins and needles
because Kane did not appear. He had
even meditated going to him; there.
fore, when Kane was announced by
the japanese butler, he felt his heart
leap triumphantly. He had squared all
accounts with money, and he had no
doubt that he could square Kane in
the same way.
He stood in his room waiting for
him with an uneasy but yet confident
! smile. And Kane wasted no time in
coming to the point.

Il can't stand this any longer, Dick
I'm going to leave you"
Edith Kane faced her husband of
eighteen months defiantly. The set
ting for the tragic outbreak was COM
monplace; city fiat. In the tiny liv-
ing room the two clashed in that age
long conflict.
Because l am poor?" inquired Kane
quietly. He had long expected the cul-
mination; now that it had come he felt
cooler than he had thought would be
possible.
His wife looked with contempt upon

thought I'd make something Of you.
But you're satisfied to work for Jer.
rold day after day, on thirty a week,
while he piles up his millions. Oh, I'm
tired of it all"
She sank into chair, put her face
in her hands, and burst into hysteri-
cal weeping. Kane stood for a mo-
ment watching her. Then he walked
to her and raised her head from her
hands. flinging it back almost bru-
tally.
How dare you use violence to mel"
Never mind that. l want to ask
you a question. Are you leaving me
for Jerrold?"
What If l am? Have you any right
to ask, you who have made me slave
for you, slave for clerk?"
Her breath came and went quickly
she rose to her feet and looked at him
with all the disdain she felt.

Kane.

OF ALL THE NERVES

Audacity rules the world. as said
Danton.-audacity. and sim greater
audacity.
1t Is another word for Nerve. as we
Americans understand it.
And of all the nerve extant, il would
be hard to match that OF the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation. which is
bossed by the high-browed Charley
Schwab. He's the Croesus that once
paid $4,000 for a 'bull-purp." He's
one of little Andy Carnegie's million
aires and dead game sport, sometimes.
The late John w. Gates said so, and
he knows, for he played poker with
him clear across the drink" and won d
bunch of the steel trust money as big
as bale OF hay.
But, speaking OF audacity, nerve
gall, Mr.. Schwab's little trust takes
the plums.
Several days ago The Independent
wrote letter to Mr.. Gene Grace. the
chief clerk to Mr.. schwab asking him
to quit littering up our desk with the
con" stuff about the good morals and
gentle manners OF the steel trust in
connection with the government ar
morplate factory that Senator Key
Pittman Is trying to establish.
The Schwab concern had been in
weighed into an effort To bum space in
the newspapers of the country for its
arguments against the Pittman bill
The Independent was one of the first
TO "bawl them out" also publishing
the letter to Mr.. Grace.

hands of Bulldog Charley himself,
for back came the galliest answer that
could be imagined. Here it is:
DEAR Sir" he says, THANK YOU
for your kind letter with reference to
advertising Of this company. We shall
be glad to RETAIN your letter for
consideration when ADDITIONAL ad-
Sertising is contemplated, - VERY
truly yours" etc.
You're welcome. old horse, and keep
the change.
Keep the letter in your pocketbook
and wear it next your heart. together
