Items Gathered in From Far and Near

The Incorporation Bill. From the New York; Tribune. The federal incorporation bill, the text of which was made public yesterday, is excellent as an incorporation bill. It is to be regretted that every state In the Union has not an incorporation bill of similar purport, adapted, of course, to state jurisdiction. If each of them had had a law with similar requirements about the issue of securities, with similar prohibitions against the investment in the stock of other corporations and with similar prohibitions against monopolies, with equal provisions for publicity and regulation by public authority and with equal safeguards for the interests of stockholders and investors, the public would not have suffered from the various abuses of high finance as it has in the past. The reform of corporate management in this country is difficult because there always are states like New eJrsey, Delaware and West Virginia, whose corporation laws are lax, and where companies can take out charters subject to few restrictions. The proposed federal incorporation law aims to cure the abuses of the present system by providing a uniform method for incorporating companies whose requirements are those which experience has shown to be desirable.

Fresh Air in Street Cars. From the St. Joseph News-Press. The Chicago board of health insists that every street car in the city and the trains on her elevated roads shall have a supply of untainted air. The temperature in those vehicles is to be neither too high nor too low, and carbonic acid gas and microbes are to be so effectually boycotted as no longer to exist. Let us hope that this movement may not only accomplish the good which it intends locally, but that it may spread over the country. Street car ventilation in the winter time is essential to health and comfort. Here the conductors do not pay any more attention to it than they do to the stage of the river, which has no relation whatever to their business. Cars are packed to suffocation, but no attempt is made to supply fresh air, nor Is this essential looked after when the care are moderately filled. The odor is often sickening to a person with a sound stomach, while people who are subject to nausea, frequently find the conditions unbearable. This is not peculiar to St. Joseph, but prevails generally. It is unquestionably due to the complaisance of the public and largely Because the people do not appreciate the danger to health that exists in unventilated and insanitary cars. The Chicago board of health has made a good move.

TWINKLES

(By Philander Johnson.)

An Ultimate Consumer. "You don't make as much fun of hash as you used to," said one boarder. "No." answered the other: "I have learned to have the highest respect for anything with real meat in it."

A Permanent Assertion. Some office seeking hopes will stray, "Neath disappointment men must chafe. So some one's always sure to say The country's not entirely safe.

Uncertainty. "You ought to figure out to a penny each month's income and expenditure," said the economist "Can't be done," replied Mr. Bliggins. "My wife plays bridge."

"Do man dat complains dat de world is agin him," said Uncle Eben, "usually 'spresses sech a bad opinion of de world dat he ain' got no right to !ook fob. its friendship."

Every now and then we have a crisis. Richmond has had so few real ones that many substitutes have been thrust on an unsuspecting public. There was some question as to whether Richmond would ever have a real crisis but it came and went and the town has been feeling better ever since. In other- words when Richmond commenced to do things and to know that this town is considerably better than other places which have been making a disturbance about themselves at that time the worst was over and Richmond stopped worrying about that crisis business.

You have doubtless noticed that the Young Men's Business Club is starting a magazine. This will be Richmond's trade journal. It is designed to tell you and other people in all parts of the country about Richmond. You will wonder why anyone should have the audacity to tell you about Richmond. But Richmond is a much more wonderful town than we have any idea of. And if the town is to grow and go ahead you will have to talk about it for people are going to ask questions. People all over the country are interested in Richmond since we have shown some symptoms of doing things here. They are asking questions. The magazine will have the things In it that people want to know. And when you meet one of these men who is interested in the town you can tell him about the real Richmond.

Many a town goes into hysterics over its having landed a small factory. Richmond is used to that her factories are, many of them, the largest of their kind In the world. Other places go wild over the fact that they stand a point or two higher in the census scale. We are prouder that the people here are better off, that wealth is more abundant and more equally distributed. There are a great many other things that we are used to here, that other places are working hard to get. Indiana is the distributing center of the United States and will be more so. Richmond has been doing a great deal of that. No one can take that away from Indiana or Richmond geographical position. There are so many opportunities lying around loose in the section which is really Richmond, that you ought to know about them and, having had the first whack at them let some one else know about them if you can't handle them.

We started out by talking about a crisis. A panic proof town doesn't have a fever when it has a crisis. It doesn't have growing pains. It just keeps on. But Richmond is putting a little acceleration a higher speed into its affairs. Only a well built machine can stand it.

man luxury. Now it's merely something that I must be careful not to eat with my knife."

Future Conversation. When June is gone and August heat Brings terror to mankind There is a comfort all complete That I shall daily find. I'll half forget the torrid spell The loitering sun has cast, About the weather then I'll tell Of February last. I'll talk of blizzards that unwound Their endless scarfs of snow, And of cold waves that came around And simply would not go; Of icy pavements where we fell While o'er us laughed the blast. I'll fan myself a bit and tell Of February last. Ah. these things yet shall be a joy For memory to recall, When fiowery sweetness comes to cloy And languorous days befall. These chill events may serve us well, Though now we stand aghast. Twill ease the summer when we tell Of February last.

The True Jack Cade

An English writer of today, Joseph Clayton .tells "The True Story of Jack Cade," in which he takes up the gross misjudgment of Jack Cade for which Shapespeare is largely to blame. Shakespeare introduces the great captain of Kent into the second part of King Henry VI., presenting him as a baseborn, addlepated impostor bent only upon plunder and personal aggrandizement; his followers, the commoners of England. as "rebellious hinds, the filth and scum of Kent." Mr. Clayton has sifted all the obtainable evidence and tells the story, making a complete vindication of the character of this much-maligned Mortimer, otherwise Jack Cade, though as to the mystery of Cade's ancestry he is forced to leave it where he found it; but he makes it clear "that the man was of the old heroic mold," and that "whatever name belonged to him he

was a high-souled gentleman whom

the nation that now enjoys the rights

he fought and died for need not hesi tate to honor."

Indeed, England may honor him as

her first great democrat, though cyclo-

pedically he is set down as an Irish rebel, obliged to flee from Ireland and take refuge in France. In 14."0 he passed over to England at a moment of

great dissatisfaction with the minis

ters of Henry VI. He raised the standard of rebellion in Kent, and on May

Vibrant Nerve Force Supplied to Man. (From "Man's Maladies.") Without stamina, man is a failure. What is stamina? It is constitutional vigor-health. It is keen, responsive, vibrant nerve force, that gives wonderful inner strength of will, sustains a sound Jiody. supports a wise mentality, makes money and keeps friends. Keen, strong sensitive nerves makes stamina and with it man can excel in business, sport. pleasure and social favor. Without it he is apt to be weak voiced, weak memoried. feeble in motion, with cold hands, cold feet, nervousness, timidity. fear without cause, trembling. melancholy, pain in the back of head, neurasthenia and a general lack of grit, courase and nerve so that it is impossible to act naturally tinder all circumstances, as a man with stamina should. It should be the aim of every man to correct the condition responsible for failure and unhappiness, for it can be done by the simple fulfillment of nature's law that the nerves receive their nourishment through the blood, which enables the nerve fluids to recover the daily waste which is constantly taking place. The nerve fluids ar.d body tissues undergo constant changes, and unless the supply is equal to tiie demand the stream of health ebbs low, and misery prevails. Astonishing strength, nerve force and poise is quickly restored by the following valuable formula, which anyone can prepare in the privacy of home. First, obtain three ounces of syrup sarsaparilla compound in a six ounce bottle: add one ounce of compound fluid balmwort, shake well, and let stand two hours. Then add one ounce tincture eadomene compound (not cardamom) and one ounce compound essence cardiol. Mix. Shake well and take a teaspoonful after each meal and one when retiring. The above Ingredients, except the syrup, are rare concentrations of purest drusrs without opiates and are used for various prescriptions.

And Then Told the Author About His Book of Travel. Frince de Talleyrand one day, when rising from lunch, said to his wife, a very ignorant lady: "You will have at your side at dinner tonight a very remarkable mail. He has written his travels. For heaven's sake, do talk to him sensibly. As you pass through the library nsk for the book and glance it through and bring the conversation to this subject. Do not forget to ask for M. Denon's work." The princess obeyed, but the thought of the torrent of sarcasm which would follow au unsuccessful issue of her lord's command made her forget the name of the author. "Give me." said the princess, addressing the librarian, "the adventures of this traveler. Listen, now, a name which eiuls in 'on.' " "I know," said the librarian, smiling, and he handed her "Robinson Crusoe." Mme. de Talleyrand read the book and was enchanted with the story, and more so with the thought that she was to dine with the author. At night she found herself next to M. Denon at table. She was not long in turning the conversation into the line directed by the prince, so she said to her neicrhbor: "Your travels have interested me deeply, monsieur.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pap son Terhunm

SHERIDAN AND tftls'l A LINLEY

(Coiijr.gkt, Uj taa Ailo. J For love ot a 16-year-oid girl a certain hot-headed Irish lad in 1772 fought two sensational duels and made himself the nine-day hero of England. The girl was Betty Linley. daughter of a famous Bath musical composer. She was a noted singer and so beautiful as to merit the nickname of "The Fair Maid of Bath." The youth was Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the most brilliant playwright and parliamentary orator of his time. As a boy he had been looked on by his parents and teachers as a hopeless dunce. Later he proved himself a marvel of wit and eloquence, as has many another man whom his schoolmaster thought a fool. While Miss Linley was living at Bath she attracted the fancy of Capt. Matthews, a dissolute "gentlemen of fortune." So ardently did Matthews make love to the girl that she was on the point of giving him her heart when young Sheridan appeared upon scene. Sheridan was barely 21. All his bright career lay before him. He at once fell in love with Betty. To further his own suit he told her what he knew of Matthews' real character. This turned the girl's dawning love for Matthews into loathing. For so clever a youth as the future play

then an easy 6tep to win the sus

ceptible young lady's heart for himself. But Matthews continued to annoy Betty with hi3 attention, even threatening her. Her father was under obligations to him. So she dared not appeal to her family to help her get rid of the unwelcome suitor. In despair she called Sheridan to her aid. He suggested that she go to a convent in France, there to remain until Matthews could be disposed of. She accepted the idea and he escorted her to the convent Their departure from England together had very much the look of an elopment. Sheridan, during the journey, explained this to the fair fugitive and persuaded her to marry him. The wedding took place in a little church near Calais and was kept secret. Matthews had looked on Sheridan as his friend and was furious at such a breach of trust. He published insulting statements about the younger man in several of the paper. Sheridan, in France, read these and hastened back to England to demand satisfaction. A duel was arranged. He and Matthews fought with swords in a tavern by night, their seconds holding lighted candles above their heads. Sheridan rushed in upon his opponent, seizing the latter's sword arm by the wrist and placing his own sword point at Matthews' throat. Matthews, taken aback by this sudden move, was at Sheridan's mercy, and gasped: "I beg my life, sir!" Then the seconds separated them, and Matthews wrote a formal apology for the insolent charges he had made against his enemy. Thus ended the first duel. Matthews, however, spread broadcast a garbled version of the affair and continued to slander Sheridan and Betty. This led to a second duel. The two men fought again with swords. Both weapons broke at the first attack. The duelists grappled, falling to the ground together and hacking at each other with the broken fragments of their swords. Much blood was spilled, although the wounds were mere scratches. Still the duel was enough out of the ordinary run of such encounters to set all Ebstland to talking. In a day Sheridan found himself famous. When Betty heard Sheridan was wounded she shrieked: "My husband! Oh, my husband!" and fainted. (Fainting was quite a fashionable accomplishment among young ladles of the eighteenth century.) Thus her parents for the first time learned of her secret marriage. They had followed her to France as soon as they learned where she was and had brought her home. Sheridan was penniless and had no prospects. So Betty's father strove to keep the couple apart. Sheridan used every pretext for gaining a few words with his wife during thi3 time of parental opposition. He once An Extravagant fT611 guised , himself as a Young Couple. cabman and drove her home from a concert where she had been singing. At last Mr. Linley consented to their union, and a

public marriage ceremony was performed. Sheridan had no knowledge of economy. Nor had Betty. So, though poor, they lived in extravagant style and were constantly in debt. Later, when Sheridan wrote "The Rivals." "The School for Scandal" and other successful plays, the pair were better off. But they still spent money much faster than he could earn it. After 20 years of married life Betty died. Sheridan mourned her most deeply. Three years later he married a woman of wealth, whose fortune, however, could not keep pace with her husband's extravagance. Sheridan in his old age was wretchedly poor. As he lay dying, in 1816. he was arrested for debt, and would have been carried to prison bad not death intervened to save him from this crowning disgrace.

Postmaster-General Hitchcock reports that the Post-Office Department loses $64,000,000 a year in the business of carrying second-class mail (magazines and periodicals). There is not a deficit of $i 7,000,000, as the department alleges, but actually a surplus of more than $10,000,000, when the specific loss on free rural delivery is taken into consideration, and the department's figures of $64,000,000 loss on secondTclass matter are wrong by more than $60,000,000.

THE

for February 12th devotes its editorial page to this subject, showing the injustice of the recommendation to raise the rate on all magazines and periodicals but not on daily papers or the country weeklies. XsF One fact: In the year ended June 30th, 1908, the weight of second-class matter compared to 1907 decreased 18,000,000 pounds. The postal expenditures creased $18,000,000. There is something in it besides second-class matter. Look for a dozen more facts in this week's (date of February 1 2th) number of The Saturday Evening Post. Paid circulation this week is
