Heinze's Gift. Butte, Mont.. Dec l.: Receiver Trillion of the wrecked Aetna bank of Butte announced that he had received a check from Augustus Ileinze for $100,000. Mr. Ileinze formerly was president of the bank, but withdrew in 190."?. Believing, however, that manr depositors had not known of his withdrawal, although it was widely advertised at the time, and through confidence in h's reputation many of his friends may have lost their money, Mr. Ileinze says in his letter to Mr. Wilson he contribute $100,000 toward the bank's assets and forwards check for that amount. The contribution should increase the bank's assets 30 per cent. J

It is assert ed that this receiver is far more sensitive than any of those invented earlier, and instead of ntillzing a liquid it employs a sensitive gas. Dr. De Forest has been eminently successful in science, but in love he has been less fortunate. He courted his wife by the radio-telegraphic system and, it is said, asked the important question several times by means of the apparatus in his own house and the instruments he set up in the apartment where lived the young .lady he admired. She learned to talk by the wireless system, but it was some time before she used it to say "Yes." Their happiness was brief, for a short time ago an application was made for the dissolution of the marriage.

TheMtoiiiiinii's latofi Premrainni The Palladium has become noted throughout Richmond and Wayne county for the beauty, variety and usefulness of the premiums it has put out since JNuTfirst of last April. When we first started to solicit subscribers for the new Palladiunive gave as a premium rose bushes from the famous green-houses of E. G. Hill. The suoess of this proposition was wonderful from the start and thousands of rose bush plapfs were distributed, not only in Richmond but also in the country towns and on the rurajr routes. We followed this with the Monarch Book premiums which netted us some seven hundred more subscribers. At the conclusion of this canvass we first issued the Sunday edition of the Palladium and made it the basis of several hundred more readers. Sflrveral months ago we brought out our famous Art Vase Lamps, the most beautiful premicm that has ever been introduced in Richmond. This was followed by a clever little alaon clock with which we have canvasses until the last week and with -which we have increased our circulation by about six hun

dred new subscribers. And now to cap the climajfof the splendid line of premiums we have - been introducing we have secured as our lateaf premium one of the rarest and newest

plants on the American continent. .

Industry That Illustrates

Spirit of Specialisation. No other industry displays so forcibly the modern spirit of specialization and organization as the shoe business. The last sixty years have witnessed a casting loose from former methods, with the evolution of marvelous labor saving machinery and the perfection of thoroughly organized business systems. Thus the reader may experience a shock of surprise in learning that that crude and primitive article, the shoe peg, is still in use. Peg mills are scattered throughout the hardwood belt of the northeastern United States. Three small mills in northern New Hampshire annually convert some 3,500 cords of birch wood into 170,000 bushels of pegs. The white and yellow birch', the only species used, is delivered at the mills in cord wool form. The sticks are peeled of their bark and then sawed transversely into sections of a thickness eqiial to the length of the pegs to be. From the saws these disks are carried by endless chains to a workman who operates a swiftly revolving bur that gouges out the small knots and other imperfections of the wood. Then . the pieces pass between a pair of heavy roller presses, which score the wood in closely parallel lines. Another pair scores at right angles to the first. The tiny interstices between the checkered lines will be the 'points of the legs. , The splitting machine has the next turn. The essential features of this device are a striated cylinder, which catches In the scorings and thua'feeds the disks into the machine, and a long horizontal knife which Jigs up and down with lightninglike rapidity, hitting the scored lines with unerring accuracy as the disks are shoved along beneath it. It requires two such machines to complete the work, the first splitting the wood into narrow ribbons and the second cutting in the other direction into the single pegs. The continuous stream of pegs which Issue from the machine passes under the sharp scrutiny of women, who deftly cull out the dark colored heart wood and turn the good pegs aside upon an endless chain to carry them through the finishing processes. They must be bleached by snlphur flames, dried in hot kilns, polished with powdered soapstone In metal lined revolving drums, screened free from dirt and finally bagged in canvas sacks for shipment. The bulk of this enormous output goes abroad to furnish cheap footwear for the peasantry of Europe. Youth's Companion. . . Tnrkeys and Grauhopprrt.

is the turkey. It has the advantage of being a very profitable one too. A ranchman In western Kansas raised turkeys 7euough last year to keep eighty acres free from damage by this insect pest. Next year this ranchman Intends raising turkeys very extensively for this purpose, and nearly all of his neighbors are planning to do the same. If there were a hundred turkeys to each quarter section in this alfalfa belt there would not be enough grasshoppers left to damage any crops. And without considering the good that turkeys do. turkey raising is a profitable Industry where insects are so plentiful. After they attain the age of three or four weeks, says Country Life In America, they can obtain their whole living in the fields and cost the farmers nothing until late fall.

BUILDING RECORDS ARE NOtV BROKEN. New Atlantic City Hotel of Terra Cotta and Concrete Going Up in Sections at the Rate of a Story a Week.

Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 1. A unique building record is being made in the erection of the new Hotel Traymore. The contractors are putting up a nine-story fire proof structure in phenomenally short time, without interfering with the business of the present hotel, which still occupies one-half of the site for the new building, and with so little noise that Its guests are not disturbed. This feat is being acromplished by the use of reinforced concrete and hollow tile, and by dividing the building into two sections. The first section Is now going up next to the present hotel. As soon as this section Is finished the guests will be transferred from the original hotel, which will then be torn down and tho second section erected on its site.

Progress on the work has been unusually rapid. Pile driving. was begun on September loth, and since then the structural work has been pushed ahead so vigorously by day and night gangs that tho structure has risen at the rate of one complete story in six working days. Half tho construction force are carpenters for making tho concrete beams and columns. The floors are made with alternate sections of burnt tile and concrete. Experts are greatly in favor of this combination of reinforced concrete and, hollow tile. The concrete allows great rapidity of , construction, economy, and avoidance of noise, and the hollow tile ensures that the structure will be as nearly tin burnable as it is possible to make it, the tile floors and partitions serving as barriers to pr vent the spread of flames and smoke.

Cipher Price Mnrlcs. "The cipher price mark, the tag not marked '1.75,' but 'P17CDG Is getting to be a thing of the past." said a jeweler. 'The public mistrusts It. There is nothing that wins the confidence of the public like a price mark in big, plain figures. Most cipher price marks are easily read. They have for their key, as a rule, the sentence 'I push trade. The T is 1, the p' 2. the u 3, and so on down to the 'e, which stands for 0. Thus '$2.75' in cipher would be $p r. h. Ciphers are useful for firms that give long credit, for such firms must naturally ask more from a six months customer than a spot cash one. But they are very unpopular things. They arouse universal mistrust." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Comforts In hotels. , One of New York city's newest hotels offers its patrons a number of attractive little touches which make It very different from the bare hostelry of other days. Each room has a closet in which are found hangers for coats, skirts' and trousers. Each dressing table has a pincushion, tray and powder box. Each room hai a dee-k already provided with Ink. pens, stationery and blotters. The tables have spreads, and the chairs have tidies. Surely the modern hotel keeper knows all the secrets of the bouse comfortable. New York Press.

Consolidation Proposes. Cleveland. O.. Dec. 1. Plans are afoot among capitalists here to form a combination of the steel roof and sheet iron pipe manufacturing plants of Ohio and several western states. H. H. Bishop of this city, one of the promoters of the proposed consolidation, said that negotiations are being conducted to bring together 18 plants in Ohio and 35 in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and other states. He denied that the United States Steel corporation is behind the project. 1 Raised Price cf Tobacco. Guthrie, Ky., Dec. 1. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Dark Tobacco Growers' Protective association the price of all tobaccos controlled by the association was advanced from $1 to $3 per 100 pounds. It is understood a proposition to sell between 7.000,000 and 10,000.000 pounds of tobacco in loose form was rejected on the ground that the sale would have to be made at the barns. The committee met in secret session. Accused of Murder. Pittsburg. Pa., Dec. 1. On informations made by Charles H.
