Of success which proved one of the
notable rOmances Of modern business
Although Lunsford Richardson
like O. Henry-simply started behind
the counter at the old DR.. Porter
Drug Store. he was later to own this
business and actively manager it for
II years. Unlike 0. Henry, he had re-
ceiVed thorough education in chem
istry and pharmacy. He loved his pre-
scription work and so it was only ma
tural that he should have gone on to
success in the field of pharmacy
AT the same Grug store counter, as
LunsfOrd Richardson carefully and
painstakingly compounded prescrip-
tiOns for his friends and neighbors,
he learned the human side of life as
only a retail druggist can. He estab-
lished there a sense Of service to peo-
pie in trouble that was the guiding
principle Of his career He knew. by
actual daily contact with people, the
needs that those prescriptions were
designed to fill.
1t is small wonder that as the wears
passed, his skill as a pharmacist and
chemist should have been embodied in

that gradually expanded his fame be-
yond his friends and neighbors. Soon
through the mountains of western
North Carolina were being distributed
the first blue jars of Vicks VapoRub,
that has since become known through
out the world as he leading home
treatment for the common cold In
stead of giving his own ,-ame to this
product, he had given it the name
"Vicks"-an old family name, shorter
and more convenient than "Richard-
SON" And SO the name Vicks. instead
of his own name, was carried thro-
ugh the world, not only by this pro-
duct, but also by the others which
were later to share its world-fame.
Lunsford Richardson lived to see
the ethics and skill of his years as q
druggist expand into business whose
products were sold in drug stores not
only in this country but in over 60
foreign countries as we'll His two
sons now manage the Vicks business
Under their stewardship new products
have been added specialized for
mulas for different types and stages
of colds.
The success of the business started
by LunsfOrd Richardson is indicated
by the simple fact that use of Vicks

The Work of Two of its
Pharmacists Became Known
Around the World

Greensboro, Nov 19.-In this small
southern city located in the Piedmont
section of North Carolina, there is a
drug store which has helped to make
history since it was first opened. on
the same premises, in 1859. While
many druggists have become famous
for their accomplishments, probably
no other drug store in the country
can claim two pharmacists whose
work is known throughout the world
What is still more unusual, each Of
these two young men was to win fame
and fortune under a name which was
not his own.
The first of these men left the drug
store counter and Greensboro to lead
life of romatic adventure with fame
awaiting him as a writer. The other
lived out his life in Greensboro with
almost as rOmatiC an achievement in
the field of business. Both, however
owed a great part of their success to
he lessons learned in this little drug
store.
The first Of these men, William
Sidney Porter, became known and
loved Ky millions of readers both here
and abroad under the pen name of
20. Henry"-the worlds best known
writer Of short stories. The gay COS
were just around the corner when
Sidney Porter's wit and human un-
derstanding helped make his uncle s
drug store a gathering place for the
young people of the town One of the
treasured possessions of the O. Henry
memorial in Greensboro is the pres
cription book of DR.. POrters Drug
Store on the margins Of which O.
Henry drew pictures Of his comrades
and made witty but kindly remarks
about town personalities. Here he
learned to know people, and began
that deep and human understanding
of character that gave his stories
the magic touch of life.
0. Henry was followed at the coun-
ter of DR.. Porter's Drug Store by
Lunsford Richardson-a pharmacist
who was to originate preparation to
become known throughout the world,
and who was to carve out career

Venizelos, L e a d ing
Greek Uprising, Is Vet
eran of Revolutions.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

LEUTHERIOS vENIzELoS, the
- leader If the Greek uprising,
has crammed into his II years
- OF existence more revolutions
than the combined generals
and "politicos" in the Central Amer
ican states.
At the age of Is he led his Cretans
in a revolution against the Turks, who
then occupied the leland. He was sue
cesSful and by the combined efforts
of the European powers obtained a
large autonomy for his native Crete.
Later he did not like the face and
the manners of Prince George OF
Greece, who was appointed high COM
missioner by the powers and led the
Cretans against that princeling. He
got him out. Ever since he has been
the stormy petrol of Europe-when he
did not happen TO be in Office.

Venizelos does not believe in blood
less revolutions. Every time he causes
trouble there is plenty of bloodshed;
politicians and generals who have the
misfortune to oppose him lose their
heads; he was genuinely sorry when
Greece's former allies, the British and
the French, prevented him from plac-
ing former King Constantine before

TO WHITE PAPER
Berlin Admits HitIer's Cold
Was More Diplomatic
Than Real.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 6.-German off,
cials admitted today that the British
White Book on German armaments,
rather than the throat trouble of
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler, was the
guiding influence behind Berlin's post
ponement of Sir John Simon's visit.
There was little effort today to con-
ceal the fact that der Fuehrer's cold
is more diplomatic than real.
Sir John, British foreign secretary,
was to have come to Berlin tomorrow
to discuss European problems with
Hitler.
BLOW for Blow"
1T was blow for blow" one official
Of the Wilhelmstrasse said. THE
White Book was blow for us and we
replied with another blow"
The foreign Office said the negotia-
tions growing out of the Anglo
French talks in London are definitely
of land it is impossible to foresee
when they will recommence."
The White Paper, officials said,
~ 4QALC CFI0CuI tlldG
Hitler talks would be difficult and un-
pleasant, and the leader needed to be
in tip-top shape before undertaking
them The tone of the whole under
taking has changed since Germany
welcomed the Anglo-French accord
with the great hope Of realizing some
thing definite"
Indisposition Slight"
Hitler was working as usual today
and was not confined to his apart
ments. The propaganda ministry said
Ibis indispoSition is very slight"
The German press published long
extracts from the British White Paper
and reports that Simon was under fire
in Parliament.
The British Embassy, it was learned,
had been requested by London to de-
termine whether Hitler's indisposition
was the actual reason for canceling
the invitation to Sir John. or whether,
as some sources professed to believe,
the action was inspired by indignation
over the contents of British white
paper terming German rearmament
a menace to European peace

Won't Withdraw Paper.

Sir John asserted the British gov
ernment would not withdraw the
white paper in which Germany's re-
armament was criticized-the criti-
cism which was believed in Berlin to
have caused Hitler to cancel the
projected conversations.
Said Sir John: II can hardly i'm
agine that any one would wish to take
seriously suggestion that if you
have a statement to make you should
reserve it until after conversations
take place"
Sir John, in speaking before the
House, declined to link up the pub
lication of the white paper with the
postponement Of his visit to Berlin.
Document Held Unfriendly.
Lansbury asked: "Is it conducive to
friendly relations to issue so unfriend-
iy document as that issued by the
prime minister"
THAT" answered Sir John, "is a
matter. dare say, which will come
out in the discussions"
The foreign secretary paid no at

whether he was going to Moscow
where they have not lost their

During his explanation of the post
ponement of his trip to Berlin, Sir
John was interrupted by opposition
members, who broke into laughter
when he mentioned Hitler's cold.
It was learned that the Germans
had given Sir Eric Phipps, British Am
baSsador to Berlin, no indication that
they were definitely canceling the in
vitation to Sir John Simon. telling him
that the invitation had been merely
postponed.
There appeared to be disposition
on both sides to avoid break of any
kind.

HOMESTEADERS IN ALASKA TO
 GET VACATION
Granting of Leave of Alp sence Favorably Re-
 ported by Committee

WASHINGTON, May 11.-tSpe- cial Correspondence)--A bill grant, ing leave of absence to settlers on homestead lands during the present year has been favorably recom- mended by the Secretary of the In terior, and Tuesday the bill was fayorably reported by the Senate Committee on Public Lands.
 The bill is of particular interest and value to many homesteaders in Alaska, as it provides that any homestead settler who, during the year 1885, should find it neces- sary, because of economic condi- tions to leave his homestead to seek employment in order to obtain sthe necessities of life for himself or family or to provide for the educa- tion of his children may, upon fil- ing with the register of the district, his affidavit, supported by corrcb- oratiug affidavits of two disinter- ested persons showing the necessity of such absence, be excused from compliance with the requirements of the homestead laws as to resi- dence, cultivation. improvements, expenditures, or payment of pur- chase money, as the case may be, during all or any part of the calen- dar year 1895, and said entries shall not be open to contest or protest because of failure to comply with such requirements during such ab- sence; except that the time of such absence shall not be deducted from the actual residence required by law, but period equal to such absence shall be added to the statutory life of the entry.
