BIRTH OF PATRICK HENRY.

One of the greatest orators that the United States has ever produced was born at Studley, Virginia, 134 years ago today. Patrick Henry was his name. As boy he was a decidedly poor student, and the only subject for which he showed any talent at all was history When he reached man. hood he pursued the study of law in the office of a family friend, and when twenty-four he was admitted to the bar Strange to say, this back ward student made good as law yer right from the start. He first came into prominence as an orator when he made a speech in behalf of the people in the famous Parsons Case, and from then on his popular ity in Virginia and neighoor1ng states grew rapidly.
 Before long he entered politics, and 1765 he was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses without opposi- tion It was while a member of that House that he uttered the famous words, "Give me Liberty or give me death" Before long Patrick Henry was recognized as one of the leading citizens of Virginia, and in 1776 he was elected governor of that state which position he held until l779 He was reelected in 1784. and served until 17S6. -17SS he was member o1 the Ratifying Convention.

SOME TOUCH.

One of two darkies who run a boot black "parlor'' in partnership, was bragging of his well-developed sense of touch, particularly In the matter of money. He boasted that he could tell the denomination of any United States coin by merely feeling it. His partner wearied of these boasts and came back with this:
 .sYour sense O feelin' ain't noth- ing to my friend Marcus. Him and me used to work on the Pullman down through Kansas. Marcus had been on this route for about ten years. One night when we was both a-sleepin', long around midnight l wakes up and I shakes Marcus and I says, Marcus, where are we?' An Marcus he jest rolls over and sticks his hand out the window and he says We're gofn' through Oswego.

P0NzI SAYS HE
WILL ORGANIZE
BIC CORPORATION

Boston, Aug. 4.-With his smiling
window that depleted his treasury at
least 100000 more yesterday Charles
Ponzi outlined to newspaper men vast
plans for the future. They make his
current project, now under investiga-
ton by a score of Federal and state
officials, look like a medium for earn
| ing pin money. A chain of banks, a
group of steamship lines and a world
1 wide import and export firm, all di-
ERECTED by Ponzi, were forecast in a
mild, conversational tone. Initial cap
i1talization, Ponzi said, will be for $780,
100000 and that will be increased rap
idly to s2oo,Ooooo0. He limited at ire
| mendous cooperative profits.
| The day for the crowd around Pom
zi's Office was enfivened by the dis
trlbutfon of thousands of printed cir
lculars, purporting to be signed by a
former member of the Massachusetts,
Legislature, now a selectman and
member of the Board of Assessors of
a nearby town.
"a thief doesn't give you your
money back" the circular read in
part. 81 have no money invested with
Ponzi and have never met him. But
he is manifeStly a friend of the people,
fought bitterly by great interests. /
" Urn investors not to he stampeded
into withdrawing their money"
The scramble for the circulars was
SO great that mounted policemen
charged the throng. Several persons
| were knocked down. States Attorney
General Allen announced this after
noon that he has appointed Samuel
Spring, an attorney said to be an au-
thority on investment laws, to inves.
tigate PonziS affairs as soon as the
Federal audit is complete. None of il
seems to affect Ponzi's peace of mind
There are two words that appear il
every ten sticks, of newspaper copy
written in Boston. One is "dapper'
and the other is "debonair.''

MARKET DROPS WITH
STERLING EXCHANGE

New York, Aug. 4-Today's stock
market opened in a confused fashion,
with the majority of important
shares showing a decided downward
tendency. A further drop in sterl-
favorable foreign news induced liqui-
dalton and short selling which coun-

rates. Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin,

New Haven were depressed one to two
points.
Readjustment of the speculative po-
sition caused a general rally before
midday in which the railroad stocks
made the best showing. Union Pa
cific, North ern Pacific, Northwestern,
Reading and various low priced
shares scored advances of 1 to 2 1-2
points. Industrials responded to Wig

BICYCLES ARE NOW
In Great DEMAND

Atlantic City, n. J., Aug. 1.-The
bicycle industry has progressed more
rapidly in the past year than any
other industry in the United States
This striking proof of the revival of
bicycling was brought out at the
opening session of the convention of
the cycle trades of America here to-
day. The bicycle was emphasized as
the cheapest transportation known to
man. 1t was stated unofficial1y that
$4,000 bicycles have been manufac-
tured in the United States during the
last year. An appropriation of $780,
600 was voted for the advertising
campaign in the interests of the bicy-
Gle industry in general during the
coming year.
A program of standar dization OF
bicycles, parts and accessories was
adopted. By reducing production
wastes this will conserve materials
and make possible the manufacture OF
a greater number of bicycles. The
demand for wheels is already taxing
manufacturers to the limit.
1t was announced that the next
bicycle and motorcycle show will b,
held at the coliseum in Chicago dur
ing the week of November s. a
convention of cycle trades of America
and of the national Cycle Dealers
association will be held at the same
| time.

Jones made for his shotgun.
The tide was low and the water
only waist deep where the shark ap-
peared and the three attackers plung-
ed in. The AltmansbergerS were the
first to the shark and both began
hacking away with their clam hooks
The shark made frantic rushes ana
thrice lunged through the grass and
tried to retaliate. For 5 minutes the
two men banged and jabbed away
savagely and by the time Jones ar
rived with the gun the shark was
nearly done for. A few well placed
shots, however. finished him.
The clam hooks were then burleo
deep in the monsters skull and the
three lowed him ashore Hopping and
sp1ashing The crowd gathered on
the beach to watch the fight stood
back in amazement when the creature
was finally drawn onto the sand, and
the folks got good look at the hid
