Saturday, June 23, 1906 etween Trains It takes the most illmanered sort of a pessimist to assert that the cases of love at first sight multiply with the increase of impaired vision. The public schools need a primer for the new generation styled. "Comhonesty in the business world." While Upton Sinclair is expatiaton the value of advertising, the Western meat packers are busy comthe cost of his brand of ad"My dear," said the thoughtful husband, "to show you how I apprethe bargains you have lately discovered for me in those 80 cent shirts and 10 cent neckties, I bought you some green and yellow plaid goods on my way up town which the clerk said was a great bargain, and at 4 cents a yard I could easily afford you enough to make dresses for two years-here are eighty yards of it, my love." "James did you take my letter to the postoffice and pay postage on it?" "Father, I saw a lot of men putletters in a little place and when no one was looking I slipped yours in for nothing." A Memphis man has discovered a new way to get rid of mosquitoes. He says to rub alum on your face and hands. When the mosquito takes a bite it puckers its buzzer so it can't sting. It sits down in a damp place, tries to dig the pucker loose, catches its death of cold, and dies of pneu monia. Elliot Miller tells how General Grant made his father, Chaplain Miller, swear: "It was one of the chaplains duties to receive and disthe mail to Grant's staff. When the mail was late he was anby questions as to the cause of the delay and time of possible arOn one occasion when the post was unusually late, the chaplain for fear of losing his temper, attached the following notice to the door of his tent: 'The chaplain does not know when the mall will arrive.' ortly afterwards General Grant ng that way noticed the sign. ng out fo her tent a few molater the chaplain was horrito read: 'The chaplain does not know when the mail will arrive, and he does not give a dam.'

A gentleman who conducts a wholesale business says that his exwith office boys can be summed up in three words: "Hired Tired-Fired." With King Alfonso weighing 125 pounds and Princess Era tipping the scale at 180, there remains little room to question who sits on whose lap. The evening Journal of Monticello says that Tom McCoy enters State prison "with a determination to stay by it." Its rather a convenient deto have just at this time. F1NANCE AND COMMERCE Chicago, June 23.-WHEAT openstronger this morning on continbad crop reports from the southand in sympathy with the firmness displayed in the Liverpool market, which was 1/4 higher than the close yesterday. The market all day, however, was very narrow, fluctonly 1/2 cent during the sesand the principal trade was confined to scalpers who were willto take small profits rather than carry over Sunday any open trades. This is more or less of a weather market for the present and traders an the weather map every morning before taking any pronounced views on the situation. CORN-contrary to wheat was weak all during the session and closed at the lowest figures of the day without any particular feature of note. The hot wind stories throughout the corn belt have had a very stimulating and bullish effect

upon the corn market for the past ten days, but these influences gradare losing theis effect market-OATS-Acted in sympathy with corn all during the session and were

at no time strong, from the opening prices they gradually receded and closed at the lowest prices for the session. PROVISIONS, Dull and featureless with a very narrow trade caused mostly by the indifference of the packers to take a position on either side or the speculative market. Receipts of hogs at the yards were 13,000 with prices steady. THE VAMPIRE OF THE SHAMBLES (McCready Sykes in June Life.) A fool there was and he paid his cash (Even as you and I!) For a can of Armour's patented trash (They knew it was nothing but scraps and trash But the fool he supposed it really was hash (Even as you and I)! Oh the ham we buy and the lamb we buy And the things that we put inside Are made by a trust without any soul It was stuff the inspectors had thrown aside (For they knew it was soaked with formaldehyde) And the fool was so ill that he almost died Even as you and I!) And it isn't the ham and it isn't the jam Tha gives us that worried look; Its coming to know they were only a (For Sinclair says that it has no soul,) And I don't believe that he lied. A fool there was and he bought some beef (Even as you and I!) At least he bought it in that belief (But the Trust that embalmed it was only a thief!) But the fool of course had no relief (Even as you and I!) Oh the cats we eat and the rats we eat And the horrible things that are sold Are worked on a public that does not know (And now we know that we never did know) Or didn't till Sinclair told. The fool he dined in his foolish pride (Even as you and 1!) bluff (Seeing at last they were only a bluff) For we've all been reading the book. (Written for the delectation of dinner parties, when the conversa tion flags, and the homely girl who was asked at three in the afternoon to fill in a sudden vacancy, and who is said to be good-natured, kind to her mother, and eminently tactful, casually asks the sad-looking youth on the far side of the table if he has read THE JUNGLE.) CLEVER ANSWERS. Cases Where They Won Promotion In Civil and Military Life. A long list might be given of men who have owed their advancement In life to a clever answer given at the right moment. One of Napoleon's vetwho survived his master many years, was wont to recount with great glee how he once picked up the emcocked hat at a review, when the latter, without noticing that he was a private, said carelessly, "Thank you, captain." "In what regiment, sire?" instantly inquired the quick witted soldier. Napoleon, perceiving his misanswered with a smile, "In my guards, for I see you know how to be prompt." The newly made officer rehis commission next morning. A somewhat similar anecdote is reof Marshal Suvaroff. who when receiving a dispatch from the hands of a Russian sergeant who had greatly

a series or whimsical questions, but found him fully equal to the occasion. "How many fish are there in the sea?" asked Suvaroff. "All that are not caught yet," was the answer. "How far is it to the moon?" "Two of your excellency's forced marches." "What would you do if you saw your men givway in battle?" "I would tell them that there was plenty of whisky bethe enemy's line." Baffled at all points, the marshal ended with, "What is the difference between your colonel and myself?" "My colonel cannot make me a lieutenant, but your excelhas only to say the word." "I say it now." answered Suvaroff, "and a right good officer you will be." Some Strange Customs. A very interesting account is given of the strange customs of the Bed ouins of the Sinai peninsula in Lord Cromer's report on Egypt and the Sudan. If a man kills another in time of peace the relatives of the murdered man, beginning from the father to the fifth generation, have the right to revenge or pardon against the receipt of "blood money." This latter is fixed at forty-one camels. If the murdered man was of the same tribe as the murderer the latter or his near relatives have to give a girl in marriage to one of the victim's relatives without receiving the usual dowry. When she gives birth to a child she is free to go back if she chooses. In the latter case the marriage must be renewed and the usual dowry paid. Five camels may be substituted for the girl.

Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

SUCCESS. What is success? It's getting money. I know some people disagree And hold some notions rather funny. But look around you, boys, and see. The man who cuts the largest capers And tells the chauffeur when to go And gets his name in all the papers Johnny Wiseboy with the dough. You hear it said that fame is fleeting. It's worse than that, if you'll observe; It doesn't furnish man with eating Or any such good purpose serve, But when his bank account is bulging He harvests three square meals a day And spends his leisure hours indulging In pleasantries along the way. That money brings you only trouble Is said by those who have enough. And then they break their necks to douTheir modest holdings of the stuff. But always from their lips keep dropping Their platitudes about the pain And woe that's bound to be outcropping In tons of treasure and its train. Be rich and let who will be clever, For if the coin is in your mitt Those who are close to you will never Take notice if you lack in wit. The work may not be quite exalted. But shed your jacket and saw wood; Then when you have a million salted It's mighty easy to be good. Needed Muscular Help. "Did he make a success as a farmer?" "No; the crops wouldn't thrive on good advice." Misunderstood. One winter while the boys were hanging around Valley Forge and wishit were summer and that they were in valley forage, but still determined to lick the British out of their boots for the purpose of getting some covering for their own bare feet, a strolling preacher dropped into camp and began to preach a new cult "Boys," he said, "you are indeed in luck. By walking around barefoot in the snowbanks you will not only live 100 years, but you will also be so healthy in the meantime that you will never think of drinking patent mediexcept for pastime." This line of philosophy did not appeal to the brave chilblain inflicted Contisoldiers, and they chucked the man with the new doctrine in the creek. This shows what folly it is for a man to be 150 years ahead of his time. Sixes and Sevens. Johnny has the chicken pox, Susie has the mumps. Puppy swallowed baby's socks, Mollle's in the dumps. Mother's at the matinee, Bridget's mad as hops; Everything goes wrong today. Every temper pops, And there'll be a hot time in the old house tonight When dad gets home, my baby! More Common. "Did you ever see a house of seven gables?" "No; but I have seen one of sevengabbles. My three unmarried aunts live there." Natural. "He's a man that takes real interest in his work." "What's his business?" "Loaning his own funds." Still Time. Now that the June bride crop is in. Those who got left should try With more success, let's hope, to win Her sister in July. PERT PARAGRAPHS. A popular young man is one wh knows how to drop a compliment in the slot and get some taffy. Some people get married because n automobile is a source of disappointment or of amusement, just as you or your neighbor is paying the bills.

A man may groan and groan and be a hypocrite still. When a man beseedy he needs a little harrowing and cultivating. You need to sand your fingers often when you are dealing with slippery people. Opportunity gets knocked much oftener than it knocks. He who learns by the experience of the other fellow is the one who makes the money. If a man were healthy, wealthy and wise he would find it hard to keep out of the dime museum. man, but the fellow the summer shower lays for the fellow with a new suit of clothes Kind words pay big dividends on the investment.

Reid Murdoch Company's Plant is Revelation to Unitiated CLEANLINESS SUPREME Expert is Making Continual Experito Produce a New Brand of Goods. Just now when the news papers all over the country are "muck rakabout embalmed beef and imfood it is reassuring to know there is one factory and that a Hamindustry too which is canning goods and manufacturing foods that are perfectly pure, positively clean and sent out from a factory that for cleanliness is not surpassed by any other institution in the United States. A "Lake County Times" reporter visited the Reid Murdock plant on two separate occasions. Part of the time with a guide and part of the time without. What he saw was a revelation and could the people of Hammond inspect personally, the whole plant from store room to cookand from cook room to basethey would doubt whether their good old mother with her shining cooking ustensils and has scrupulous ly clean kitchen could insure greater cleanliness. No Fond Memories. As you enter the long low strucwith its gabled sky light your nostrils detect faintly the odor of cooking fruits. You are led to the cook room and there before your eyes is a long row of shining copper ket tles filled with gallons and gallons of cooking strawberries. You look for the fire, you wonder why the fruit is cooking so nicely when the guide volunteers the information that all the fruit is cooked by steam. Again your mind goes back to canning days at home and when you remember the dusty dirty coal stove, the cook pokup the fire, you reluctantly put the picture from your mind and dethat while no fond memories are connected with the cooking of Reid Murdoch strawberries, its the cleanway after all. Near the copper kettles you see row after row of enameled dish pans filled with berries which are being allowed to cool. Some how you can not reconcile yourself to that when you remember the perilous haste with which mother would fill the Mason quart jars to prevent the fruits cooling and spoiling, afterBut your fears are quieted when you are told that the sugar alone would preserve the fruit even if the air should come in contact with it. Still farther on the girls are filling bottles, placing the covers and paston the labels. Jars are all Clean. In this day of extreme commercialwhen the word seems to be profit rather than purity you are amazed to learn that each glass jar is cleaned and dried before it is permitted to receive its contents. Not only this but the big copper kettles which you saw filled with fruit a few moments ago will soon have the exclusive attention of one man whose duty is simply to clean and polish them. In the preserving department rasberries, peaches, apricots pears and on down the list until your memory balks in the effort to enumerate them all. Over in the pickle department there is a man whose principal duty is to experiment until he finds the 58th variety. He has about 20, 58th varieties to his credit. Olive Stuffing is Great. Did you ever see a bottle of stuffed olives all set in just so and wonder how it is done. The problem is a simple one over at Reed Murdochs. A half dozen girls seem to be working at a table with chop sticks, but on closer inspection you find they are using long wooden tongs with which they deftly pick up each olive plathe Spanish primentos with which they are stuffed where they will make the best appearence. Then there are the other relishes, the salad dressing which the English taught us to make and are now selling to them are now selling to them in large quantities The mustard which you

may see transformed from the seed

the article that fills the bottles

Surely no adulteration here. The

horse radish which is made to be

used in season and made into horse radish flour to be used out of season. Horse radish flour, think of it! What if the cook should mistake it for the "Pillsburys" and attempt to make biscuits out of it. Then there are onion pickles, cuumber pickles and all the rest of list, with a few besides. Olive oil? 75 casks of Government spected and therefore perfectly o l has just been imported from Ship Loads of Olives. And while you are down in the basement looking at the olive oil casks just take notice of the six or seven hundred hogheads of olives just imported in two ships from Seville Spain. You don't doubt the man when he tells you they cost $75,000. On your way back through the plant you see the machine that fills, covers and solders 24,000 tin cans a day. To see it in operation you would imagine that the machine could almost think. The other products begin with onion extract and end with root beer. Marachino cherries for your cockglared cherries for your sun daes, maple syrup not made from corn cobs but actually brought from old Vermont, sauer krout, pork and beens, buckwheat, extracts, ginger ale, grape juice and jellies about complete the list although the com panies chemist may have discovered a new chow chow before evening. The plant is one of the most comin the United States. It is posanitary. There is ample protection from fire by the automatic sprinkler system so that the 450 emwork under the most favoconditions. To show how systematically the work is done, the cost system may be taken as an example. Every bottle, every cork, every pound of sugar and every jar of fruit are positively accounted for at the end of each days work and what is more, the exact cost of each article incluthe cost of materials and labor may be known at any time. CHURCH PLANS READY. Architect J. T. Hutton received the complete plans for the new Methchurch from the blue printer yesterday. Work will be begun on the $20,000 edifice at once. Model 14
