THE COUNTRY BOY WHO WON Thirty-three years ago a farmer’s lad, named Frank Vanderlip, walked into the railroad shops at Aurora, 111., and asked for a job. ills father was dead; his mother and sisters looked to him for help, lie had not hud time to learn much out of books, but the very simplicity of the life about him, the sincerity which his neighbors put into each act ot tho day’s round, had given him an instinctive appiveiution of the possibilities of hard work. He got the job he wanted—apprentice In the machine shops at three dollars a week—and then began to look about him. He saw that the best mechanic In the place was earning only $3.50 a day and realized that he must do more than train his hands to center shafting and turn lathes. No wonderful vocation flamed up in hi soul; he felt no call to correct the world's great evlis; he did not even map out any clever plan for a career of power or money acquisition. He felt himself a very ordinary young man, exactly l.ke everybody else of hi age about him; he was inspired only by a strong desire to work his way to the top. Today he Is at the head of one of the greatest banks In the world, the National City, of New York. Here Is the secret of this man's success In the years which have since passed: he was willing to work. In fact that willingness amounted to a very passion for digging Into every problem which came up In the course of duty; and he did a little bit more— he looked for new problems. The opportunities of the home town, however, seemed to him no longer big enough; after working a while and picking up stenography In spare hours, he found a position in the office of an investment company in Chicago. From this work to the charge of the financial columns of the Chicago Tri bune was an easy change and again he set himself to prepare for dtftii ulli' ■ ahead. Ho studied banking law, currency and International exchange, and the reporter became an editor wh e writings on financial topics arou cd at tention among the wisest bankers of tho city. Someone once asked the old doorkeeper of the Tribune; '‘Date, who Is that young fellow by whom you set your watch every day?" The gr: ■ ly one grunted: "Oh, that's Vanderlip,. he's always on time to the dot." At the end of eight years on th" paper, the boy who had begun aa a mechanic was noticed by I.ymun Gage, the Secretary of the Treasury, who docldeu that scribbling was a wasi.' of such talents and tool; the editor along to Washington. Looking for trouble and finding a way to get tiie be t of it had become a habit with Vanderlip; and when the Span) ih War broke out and a big loan was to he floated by the Treasury Department, the new assistant to Mr Gage showed such marked capacity for organization that James Stillman, the eminent New York financier, was attracted to the budding financier. After four years at Washington Frank A. Vanderlip became head of the National City Bank.—Arthur Prill, In Leslie**. When trouble goea to sleep throw away the alarm clock.

Young French Officer Sprays Mount ] Daily as Example to

Paris. — While the stories which come In m the soldiers serving in tho trenches tell of the hardships and difficultii of warfare, the letter from a youm artillery officer at the front published recently in The Figaro, shows that war has its bright side That the difficulties which confront the private soldier do not rest so heavily on the officer Is shown to bo true In this war as in all others. The letter says: “Here we are always gay and eontented, and amuse ourselves like crazy men. From what I hear from those who come from the rear, 1 should judge that here is more laughter for the men at tho front. We are making war most satisfactorily, 1 believe, for we ; ive our elves systematically the maximum of comfort. From a material point of view, it Is true that everything is well. "We are above all soldiers, at least in spirit, and one would not Imagine that civilians existed, men of affairs, who are used to doing other things than In aking others to pieces. With this iii mind, we should he us happy as kl. gs, and If you could see us from lime io lime, 1 am sure you would be happ! r a hundred times than you are at X . No more lessons, no more t ;c ! . We are getting practice now instead of theory. “We are al o very fine looking, i shave my elf every morning when the Germans allow, and spray my horse and myself with the etta tie cologne which my mother sent me. 1 also brush my teeth every day, shine nty shoes twice a day, etc We do not make war with gold braids ou any more gold braids are gone—but we wish to make war as Frenchmen i hould. We wish to be fresh and welllire loti, uiul show these big brutes and tm i of little spirit who are lu front of us that wo can he brave without being brutal and energetic without gel

Cologne, Germany.—The Koelnlsche Zeitung prints the following article p* garding efforts made to capture the j German Emperor at the lime of his j reported trip to the eastern war fields; “Emperor William Is said to have paid a visit recently to the Austrian arena of war. The rumor spread among the Cossat ks who were advancing in the vicinity of Lyek that the Emperor was near that town, and they decided to capture him "It Is related that a regular competition resulted among them ut this hunt for the German Emperor and that one day a corporal of the Cossacks arrived at the Russian camp with a prisoner whom he designated as ‘Wilhelm.’ However, the corporal was sadly disj appointed, for. although the prisoner I showed a certain resemblance to the t; Titian Emperor, he proved to be u j lieutenant of the L’hlans.

Hygienic Value of Salads

Probably no detail of the Frneoh j mcuuo is so important to us as the j salad. Very few American families know what an Invaluable delicacy a ■ enutne French r,r.lrd, with a dres ip t,f good olive oil and pure, fragrant vinegar. Is—invaluable, because of its ! 'free on the digestion and health There is very little nourishment in calad leaves until the oil has been added, and the oil Is what many of us ! need, according to the doctors, who i deplore the Insufficiency of fat in tiie j average American's diet. It is ex- i eluded therefrom for the very good : reason that the average American 1 finds It difficult to digest. But It la right there that the salad comes to the rescue. The vinegar In it, If gen nine, excites by its fragrance and acidity the digestive glands not only in the mouth and stomach, hut In the pancreas, which acts on all the constituents of food, particularly the fats. There would be vastly less intestinal indigestion in this country if bvery family followed the French custom of eating salad ut least once a day.

LIKE CHAPTER FROM FICTION Exiled Father Recognizes Grown Son Last Seen as a Baby. New Orleans.—Three weeks ago Mrs. Cantllllon Vasques Castillo of Gautetnala City, Guatemala, wrote her husband who had been an exile in New Orleans for the past sixteen years, that her eldest M>n, Arnulfo, aged 18, had run away from home to New Orleans. She a ked Mr. Castillo to apprehend him and send him hack home. Now Mr. Castillo was in a quandary, for he had not seen his son since he was a baby In arms ami ho doubted very much If he could recognize him. Hut the strangest things in and out of fiction happen. One evening recently Mr Castillo was standing at Royal and Canal streets, when the youth huppened to puss. Immediately he recognized a family resemblance anti tupped the youngster on the shoulder. An instant later they were in each other's

arms.

The youth was ordered back to Gautemala by the police, hut begged to he allowed to remain in New Orleans. Mr. Castillo says he dare not return to his native land, so he remsins hero. He is a P'sn of wealth.

This Baseball Player So'cJ for $4.60 Umpire Finney of the I’aclHc Const League was once sold for the staggering sunt of $4.H0. What's more, Finney is game enough to tell the story ou himself. He was behind the bat for Fort Scott, in the Kansas League, in 190ti. The team had not been given sufft' lent support and it was decided to disband it. The manager of the Fort Scott team went down to Coffeyville, now fumo-s as Walter Johnson's home. The Coffeyville magnate made a daring proposal to the fort Scott main:!, r i: 1 to pay the price of his railway fare for a single choice of the Fort Scott players. He chose Finney.
