Why PoIisemai Was Arrested.

An American friend Of mine in Port
au Prince had q very useful house
servant by the name of Polisemai, who
earned the notable sum Of 5 gourdes
Isl gold) a week and found. The fed
eral authorities kept arresting Polise-
mai for military service and his en-
ployer got tired Of going to headquar-
tiers about once a week to pry him loose
from the army. He found that the
continual arresting was due to the fact
that several officers wanted Polisemai's
job.-George Marvin in Worlds Work.

THRIFT IN EARLY LIFE.
That Was the Start of the Fortunes Of
Our Greatest Einanciers.

That Was the Start of the Fortunes Of
Our Greatest Financiers.
The early life Of the great builders,
the self made inanciers Of this coun-
try, shows the early cultivation of the
saving habit.
With few exceptions our Rockefel-
lers, Hills, Harrimans, are men who
endured great privations to say their
first few hundreds or thousands of dol
lars.
But in the use of these savings these
great men Of business seemed most
reckless.
Each in turn staked his all on q little
known and decidedly shaky PROPOSE
ton and stuck with it until he won
out.
Rockefeller put his few hundreds,
saved from a ~bookkeeper's salary, into
making a start in the oil business, q
business so unknown at that time, so
full Of failures, that it was with the
utmost difficulty he was able to bor-
row any additional funds when in des-
perate need.
James j. Hill staked his few saw
ings, scraped together from his work
as a dock laborer and clerk, on a well
nigh bankrupt railroad, on which the
experienced fnanciers of his day
would scarcely lend a penny.
Ford staked his own savings on
building a gas engine and a small car,
Of which it was the motive power.
When he was ready to build his first
cars there is no record Of the banks or
tha hi9 fnanciers Of his day offering to

Uncle Sam After
Warning Writers
Reports of Twin Falls Incident
Causes Secret Service To Take
Notice.


BOISE, Aug. 2S-Federal officials
will be called upon to investigate the |
sinister warnings posted in towns in |
southern Idaho, including Twin Falls, |
the past few days, to so-called Ger
man sympathizers to leave the coun-
try. The warnings are similar to
those that appeared in Butte during
the disturbances there.
At Twin Falls, where such notice
appeared pasted on the place of bust
ness of Reuben H. Whitaker, proprie-
tor of a second hand store. Sheriff
Kendall is making an investigation.
It is said the matter has been called
to the attention of the federal Off
cials.
The notices that appeared in Butte
following the lynching of Little, the l.
w. W. agitator, are duplicates of the
ones appearing at Twin Falls. The
sheriff of that county does not be-
lieve there is such an organization in
Idata as the 3-7-77 but he is actively
on the job watching for any signs of
disturbances. Mob violence there will
not be tolerated. Sheriff Kendall as
serts that his department is well or
ganized and there is no necessity for

such sinister notices whether it was
done in earnest or for a joke He
! holds that any attempt to violate the
law by l. w. w, German sympathiz-
ers or Socialists, can be taken care of
in the proper legal manner without an
attempt at so-called mob-violence
When the so-called Vigilantes of
Butte took Little, the I. w. w. leader
out of his room and lynched him, they
PINNED a note to the body signed with
the same mysterious figures as ap-
pear above.
Idaho has not as yet been threaten
ed with mob violence of any kind
aside from the l. w. w. disturbances
of the north and by arresting the
leaders it has apparently passed int
history. Sheriffs of the various coun
ties ore warned to keep on the alert
