SUGGESTION OF Sec. KINNEY
Who offers Y. M. C. A. to House An
Exhibitlon-List of Local Manu-
facturers That Might Show
Articles

A MADE In Mt. Vernon" week was
suggested at the MONDAY luncheon
of the chamber of commerce last
Wednesday by Secretary r. H. Kin
ney of the Y. M. G. A. A committee
was at that time instructed to take up
the matter with Secretary Kinney,
and it now seems probable that such
week will be arranged.
The purpose of the week would be
to impress Mt. Vernon people with
the amount of actual manufacturing
that is done in this city and to ac-
quaint them with the products that
Mt. Vernon furnishes to the outside
world.
There are about twenty actual man
ufacturing plants in this city, as well
as a large number which are of that
nature, but could hardly be classed
under that heading. These are all
busily engaged in turning out pro-
ducts which advertise the city favor
ably and which give employment to a
large number of people.
The following is list of manufac-
turing plants which might put in dis
plays if made In Mt. Vernon" week
were launched in this city:
Butcher Baling Machine Co.
Barnard Bros. Box Co.
Mt. Vernon Bridge Co.
Dunlap Rug Co.
c. & G. Cooper Engine Co.
Eagle Roller Mills.
Northwestern Elevator & Mill Co.
Black Furnace Co.
Anderson Roofing Works.
Chapman Gas Producer Co.
Mt. Vernon Ice Co.
Essex Glass Co.
McGee-Star Granite Co.
Morgan Monument Co
J. S. Mcconnell Overall Co.
Mt. Vernon Paint e. Oil Co
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.
Coming under another head are
such industries as: cigar manufacture
ing, ice cream manufacturing, sad
| dlery and others too numerous to
mention. In addition, such an exhibi
tion would take on the nature of a
spring fair and many business con
Germs in the city might be allowed
display space in case they desired to
use it.
Secretary Kinney has assured the
chamber of commerce that the Y. NJ
C. A. would probably be glad tc
house the exhibition IL it is definitely
determined to undertake such.

Nine young gentlemen put the sQuib
right about that photograph. Hickey
was lost in the fields of Elysian phan-

still writing and stufing loose pages
in his pocket, and the one with the
beard was making a surreptitlous

NOW DOGS GOT THEIR NAMES
Substantial Reasons in All Cases for
Dividing the Canine Species Into
Breeds Well Known.

With dog shows everywhere to the
left of US and to the right, at national
shows and the side shows, at outdoor
fetes, many women will be glad to
learn the origin of several popular
breeds of the canine family.
1t is probable that few lovers of the
most popular dog of today-the bull
dog-know whence he obtained his
name. He is called bull for the
reason that formerly his services were
employed in the driving of cattle. The
dog was trained to meet the rushes OF
the bull by the simple expedient of
seizing it's charge by the most SEN
sitive part. the nose.
The spaniel, formerly one of the
most popular species of dogs, gets its
name from Spain, from which coun
try the first breeds were sent to Eng,
land. where for a long time they were
called Spanish dogs
Some have thought that the fox ter
rier derived his name from the fox.

room.
He had meant to ask that one simple
question and return, but. in Arlene's

en-, in a high state of culver, he had
to make his speech all over again. YER

variously couched question, If he
really thought their names would not
be mentioned 1t was fifteen minutes
before he returned. and he found the
twelve young gentlemen suffering with
an intolerable itch to be gone. Five
of the young men were in the library,
quarreling. in decently low voices,
over the use of the phone. The i'm
perturbable Hickey, however, had it,
and he held on, handing in a story, en-
bellished and colored and frilled and
beribboned as he went, which would
make the cylinders on the presses
curl up.
81 am sorry to advise you, gentle
men, that l am unable to tell you If
the International Transportation COM
pany is, or is about to be, incorpo-
rated" reported Gerald gravely. and
he signaled to William to open the
front door
AS the rapt and enchanted Hickey
passed out of the door, a grip like
pair of ice tongs caught him by the
arm, and drew him gently but firmly
back.
Sorry" observed Gerald. but you
don't CO."
Hasn't that id boy got here
yet?" demanded Hickey, in an imme-
diate mood for assassination. He was
large young man, and defective mes
senger boys were the bane Of his
existence.
William says not" replied Gerald.
For the love of Mike, let me goi"
pleaded Hickey. This stuff has to be
handled while it's still sizzling! It's
the biggest story of the century;
That boyll be here any minute"
Sorry" regretfully observed Ger
aid; but l shall be compelled to de-
tain you until he arrives"
Cant do it," returned the desper-
ate Hickey. Il have to go!" and he
made a dash for the door.
Once more the ice tongs clutched
him by the shoulder and sank into the
flesh.
IF you try that again, young man,
l shall be compelled to thrash you,
stated the host, again mildly.
Hickey looked at him, very thought
fully. Gerald was slim-waisted gen
tleman, but he had broad shoulders and
a depressingly calm eye, and he prob
badly exercised twenty minutes every
morning by an open window, after his
cold plunge, and took horseback ride,
and walked a lot, and played polo, and
a few other effete things like that
Hickey sat down and waited. and.
though the night was cold, he mopped
his brow until the messenger came!

CHAPTER XVII.
Chicken, or Steak?


On the outbreak of a bygone rude
ness between the United States and
Spain, one free and entirely uncurbed
metropolitan paper, unable to ade-
quately express it's violent emotions
on the subject, utilized its whole front
page with the one word ''War!" print
ed in red ink.
Now, however, the free and entirely
uncurbed, having risen most gloriously
in the past to every emergency, no
matter how great, positively fioun-
dered in the very wealth of its oppor-
tunities.
Saturday night, however, saw no
late extras The STORY" was too big
to touch without something more tan
gible than the word of even so sub
stantial a man as Gerald Fosland; and
long before any of the twelve eager
young gentlemen had reached the of
fee, the scout brigade, hundreds
strong, were shifting over every trail
and yelping over every scent.
Until three o'clock in the morning
every newspaper Office in New York
was a scene of violent gloom. The
worlds biggest sensation was in those
offices, and they couldn't touch it with
pair of tongs! The deterrent was
that the interests involved were so
large that one might as we'll sit on a
keg of gunpowder and light it. as to
make the slightest error. The gentle
men mentioned as the organizers of
the International Transportation com
pany collectively owned about all the
money and all the power and all the
law in the gloriously Independent
United States Of America; and if they
got together on any one subject, such
as the sQuashing of newspaper. for
instance, something calm and impress
sive was likely to happen. On the
other hand, if the interesting story
the free and entirely uncurbed had in
its possession were true, the squash
ing would be reversed, and the free
ness and entirely uncurbedness would
be still more firmly seated than ever,
which is the palladium of our national
liberties; and heaven be good to US.

sight of the valentine, explaining to

QUESTION of the foreign railroads will
be made possible only by war, which
is already arranged. The war, which

events will come a successful rebel

You will probably require some tan

are on the way to fulfillment. call
your attention to the fact that, last

Its orlnIn In Doubt.

Many hold firmly to the belief that
the celebration by the youth Of both
sexes of st. Valentines day has some
connection with the Roman saint Val
entinus, the bishop or presbyter who
was beheaded in 270, during the reign
of the Emperor Claudius. But this is
doubtful, though, according to Wheat
ley, St. Valentine was a man of most
admirable parts, and so famous for
his love and charity, that the custom
of choosing valentines upon his festi-
val took it's rise from thence"
Be this as 1t may. the association
of this lovers holiday with ST. Valen-
tine, though accidental, may have had
its origin in his wise.

part of boys the girls often make life
miserable for them by selfishly appro-
priating the chief pleasures for them
selves. Many men who have a poor
opinion of women gained this opinion
as children in their own homes. where
selfish girls were allowed to insist
that boys should chivalrously defer
to them in everything.
Boys and girls in family should
be brought up in the same way. aid
what is right for one should be con-
sidered right for the other.
"Oh, but you will be man and give
up to your little sister" the mother
says, and the selfish girl is allowed to
impose on the boy in this way.
Little disputes in regard to family
rights should be decided on their
merits and not with regard to sex.
Boys should be taught to protect their
sisters, but should not be allowed to
cater to their wishes when these are
inspired by pure selfishness.
