Smith, who recently became United States judge for the Eighth circuit in succession to Judge Vandeventer, who was appointed to the bench of the United States Supreme court, was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, July 10, 1S62. He received a common school education and afterwards studied law. After his admission to the bar in 1SS2 he began practice in Council Bluffs. In 1S90 he was elected judge of the Fifteenth judicial district of Iowa and served on the bench ten years. In 1900 he was fleeted to Congress on the Republican ticket and continued to represent the Ninth Iowa district until he resigned last winter to take his seat ou the Federal bench. Not For Her.

Hoodwinking Investors

When B. H. Scheftels & Co. was pulled to pieces by the Government, the New York "Sun" was puzzled to account for the business transacted by such a house: "There Is no legitimate broker that can trace any business to the closing of Illegitimate houses with scores of thousands of customers. The wonder is what has become of the customers of those houses. The only explanation of their disappearance is that they represented the class which will do nothing in stocks unless flooded with literature of the get-rich-quick kind and seduced by fanatic misrepresentation." Here, in part, is the answer. A few years ago in an Iowa town of 2,000 inhabitants a bucket-shop began to do business. For six months it had its patrons betting on the rise and fall of stocks, and it sent their money to its Chicago headquarters. At the end of the half year this is what happened: The little side-street office, with its one table, its chairs, and its large blackboard, had absorbed $35,000 the circulating currency of the town and had created a local panic. Deposits in the bank fell off; the cash trade over store counters almost disappeared. That is where the money comes from which flows into the pockets of the astute promoters it comes out of the daily living of simple, honest people. "Legitimate houses" are not benefited by the raiding of the crooks and the failure of well-meaning speculative promoters, largely because of indifference to small accounts. Hut the promoters and the financial enthusiasts are dealing with persons who lift money from the savings banks, deduct it from the home table and the annual rent, and ship it on in small amounts. Because of the wild catteis, old age becomes tragic instead of comfortable There is an always-full reservoir of money for the promoters, flowing in small Bums from trustful, industrious people. Just who they are and how much they pour Into the common fund will be revealed in these letters, chosen out of several thousand. S. D., in Alberta, Canada, writes: "I am a working man and I am investing $1,000 in Oxford Linen Mills stock. Series A." L. H. M., of Boston: "I am earning about $1,500 a year, and have a few hundred in the savings-bank. 1 would like to buy, say, ten shares, now offered at $10 per share, in the New England Automatic Shoe Shining Co. This is a company which has failed, promoted by a man who has

disappeared.

Next comes the lure of the highly speculative "eucalyptus" proposition, run by well-intended enthusiasts. II. C. D. Waukee, Dallas County, Iowa: "Enclosed find advertisement from the Western Empire of the California Home Extension Association in regard to their proposition to plant eucalyptus groves for their customers. I have money in Iowa and Oklahoma banks drawing 4 per cent, interest per annum, and save from my wages a small sum each year to add to this. I have always lived and worked on the farm. Would it be a better proposition for me to invest in California land and go there and plant my own trees?" K. G. of Seattle, Washington: "Although only fourteen years of ege, I have saved $100 by delivering a morning newspaper, starting out at 4:30 in the morning, going to school during the day. The height of my adbitlon is to go through the university of this State. I will enter the High School this fall, which will take four years. I respectfully ask your advice as to what would be the best way for me to invest this, my $100, and whatever I can put with it, that it may be safe and earning something also." These are the people on whom the promoters draw. Burr Brothers used to send out a circular for one of their mines, on which the headline read: "Poor Folks Should Invest." W. C. H., Evansville, Indiana, writes of the Continental Mines, Power and Reduction Company: "What do you think of a $1,000 investment in it? I am a working man a mechanic and $1,000 would represent the most of my savings. I, of course, can not afford to lose it, but if you think the thing has any merit and liable to turn out good, I'd be willing to take a little chance but not too much." Away back in 1906 this company planned a tunnel through ore territory, and began selling stock. Five years have passed, and the report in the second week of June, 1911, is: "No work now in progress on Seemann Tunnel. Real reason understood to be lack of funds." Ida M. R., of Boston, writes of the Consolidated Alaskan Company: "My mother who is dependent upon me, together with an invalid sister, has resolved to put what few hundreds she has into this company. She will not listen to me because I can not prove that the company is a fake concern." This proposition has been on the market for over ten years and has demonstrated little except an ability to use up over $1,000,000 with no tangible results. Its holdings are in a remote district where ice and snow hamper active mining operations the greater portion of the year. Arthur H. Gleason, In Collier's.

NEW FREIGHT DEPOT FOR SAINT LOUIS To give a quicker freight delivery between St. Louis and the east, the Pennsylvania Railroad announced today that they had opened a freight station on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River in St. Louis. Prior to this, the freight station of the Pennsylvania Railroad was in East St. Louis, Illinois. The new freight station of the Pennsylvania Railroad is located between Main and Second streets, extending from O'Fallon street north two blocks to Cass Avenue. This location was secured for the reason that it is especially convenient to the wholesale, retail and produce districts. The sta; tion itself is TOO feet long and 60 feet wide with team tracks for carload deliveries. The capacity is more than 60 cars. In addition to this new station which has the most modern freight handling facilities, the company has announced that it will continue to receive and de liver carload, and less than carload. freight for the Vandalia at the terminals heretofore used for that purpose. To announce this change of freight facilities In St. lxmis to the shipping Interests throughout the country, the Pennsylvania railroad is distributing a large circular map showing the routes of its fast freight lines and giving the time in transit between St. Louis and the various large cities East of the Mississippi River. The colors of butterflies are influenced by the temperature of the air in which they live. "THIS DATE

BOTH CRACK TEAMS WILL MEET TODAY

(National News Association) London, July 10. Great interest is manifested in London in the field and track sports which will take place tomorrow afternoon at the Queen's Club between teams sent by the Universities of Harvard and Yale, representing the United States, and teams from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, representing England. Both teams have been training hard for the event. The Americans are con tiaent tney win win six oi tne nine events, while the Englishmen believe the odd event will determine the vie tor, as they expect to win four. Eng land is confident of winning the 100yard dash, the SSO-yard run, and the one and two-mile events and also has strong hopes of capturing one and per haps two of the other events. Ameri ca is considered superior in the high jump, the broad jump and the hurdles. Both are regarded as having an even chance in the quarter-mile event and the hammer-throw. The games tomorrow will be the fourth international contests between the universities. Of the three pre vious meets the United States has won two and England one. Contrary to most similar games, only first places count, each victory registering one point. England won the first meet held and the Americans the next two. At a recent Old Bailey trial, it was stated that St. Augustine's church. Honor Park road, London, had been broken into by burglars no fewer than twenty-four times. IN HISTORY"

Heart to Heart Talks. By ED WIS A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

LIVE BY THE DAY. You are under contract to live your life. How will you do it by the day or by the job? If you live by the job you are apt to be always getting ready to enjoy the performance. If you live by the day you are likely to get something ont of life. It is well enough to plau for the future and work to your plans, but you should get something out of life everyday. We live too much in prospect. We will enjoy life when we get fixed for it. We will be happy tomorrow or next day. We will be useful to our generation when we get time for it. We will read and think and love as soon as we get to if. In consequence we live and die in expectancy. If we are to live at all and love and help and study and enjoy It must be today. Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor, learned the secret 1.800 years ago and in his golden book has revealed it. I know of no book, aside from the New Testament, that is so well adapted to the use of the average person whose lot is hard and disappointing. Marcus Aurelius bad to do about everything he did not want to do. He despised pomp and circumstance, but had to be an emperor. He loved study and had to spend much of his life at the head of an army. Nevertheless he discovered how to live every day so as to get something out of that day. He was never so tired that he could not find something worth while iu the conditions. One of his methods was to study some person about him, select the best quality never the worst quality and try to imitate that person at his best. He never had a grouch. He lived every day as if it were the only day. ( Let us also live today. Today you can get a little reading, a little exercise, a little diversion, a little love (do not economize on the love) and a little inspiration. Count that day lost whose low descending sun has brought you neither joy nor sympathy nor entertainment nor betterment. Lave by the day. The contract is big and complicated considered as a job. It is greatly simplified when you work oa it by the day. TWINKLES JUVENILE ACTIVENESS. "Father," said the small boy, "what is a prodigy?'' "A prodigy, my son, is a boy who can be persuaded to get his mind on third dimension instead of trying to get his feet on third base." GETTING HIS MEASURE. "Isn't that young man remarkably fond of outdoor sports?" "No," replied Miss Cayenne. "He merely enjoys having his picture taken in outing clothes. AFTER VACATION. When from the country he's returned All stung and battered and sunburned, He vows in tones sincere, though grim, The city's good enough for him. REFINEMENT OF INGRATITUDE. "Republics are ungrateful," said the ready-made philosopher. "Perhaps," replied Mr. Chuggins; "but if you want a state of real ingratitude, take a party of friends out for an automobile ride and listen to their sarcastic remarks if you happen to break down." RAPID ACTION. "Isn't this tixicab going rather slowly?" asked the impatient man. "You're looking at the wrong place," replied the driver, "you want to quit observing the passing scenery and keep your eye on the fare register." AN ALLURING CONTRAST. One of these days, where faint and dry The grass now fronts a fiery sky We'll see the snow piled up in heaps, Or whirling as the north wind leaps, Along the pavement or the lane; And frost will deck the window pane With silvern scenes from fairyland. Cheer up! What, ho! Won't that be grand! When every breeze that sweeps the hill Is guaranteed to bring a chill. What vandal voice will dare to raise A song of "melancholy days?" When that grim humorist of note No more goes forth to rock the boat, But on thin ice attempts to skate Cheer up! What, ho! Won't that be great! Sameness of Opinion. "I suppose." said the young man with the soiled collar and baggy trousers as he sat down beside a stranger on one of the park benches, "you would not take me for a member of a millionaire's family, would you?" "No," answered the stranger after sizing him up; "frankly speaking, I wouldn't." "Neither would the millionaire, rejoined the young man sadly. "I asked him last night.' St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

While selling pressure did not develop on an exceptionally active scale, the price level of Stock Exchange securities early this week reflected two influences that for a time received un favorable interpretation. The most i otent of these, which was subsequently greatly modified, was the continued dry weather, accompanied by intense heat in important areas of the corn belt. The second was the political situation abroad, which became so acute as to almost merit the designation of a crists in the relation between France and Germany over the Moroccan situation. In addition the Balkan ghost again appeared, this time as a result of Russia's precipitate action in massing troops, which Turkey regarded as an unfriendly act. Under the circumstances it was not unnatural that there should have been a check upon the demand for securities at home, .while, at the same time the decline in quotations on the London and Continental exchanges natur ally exercised a sympathetic influence on this side. So far as the Moroccan incident is concerned it is very apt to be largely overrated. In accordance with the terms of the Algeclras forming a duty then imposed of preserving order. In response to a specific demand from the Sultan for protection against the tribesmen, it sent a military force as far as the outskirts of Fez. Germany, after protesting tne military demonstration on the ground that it had ulterior import, finally added force to her protest by sending a warship to Agadir, presumably as a significant, effective and final protest. Both the German people and the French are by nature so highly excitable and sentimental that it is not surprising, therefore, that so much more should be heard of the possibilities of the present crisis than the calmer interpretation and unbiased view of outside impartial interests would suggest. As Great Britain is a party to the agreement, it seems a perfectly fair inference that the incident will be studlea in a caim ana dignified manner, and that the so-called threat of "war" is indeed one of the remotest possibilities. The Balkan situation, moreover, has been so frequently in as strained a position as it occupies at present that there is no present need of granting it any greater importance as a market factor than at any time during the last year or so. With civilization progressing so actively in favor of arbitration it will take much more than the incidents already enumerated to constitute adequate justification (if "justification" for war can ever be acknowledged to exist, which I greatly doubt) for war. The day is already past when any nation may de clare war without adequate cause. Reverting to the unsettlement caus ed by the less favorable harvest out look, it will also be found advisable to view the actual conditions in a calm frame of mind. The chief fear appears to center on corn. Incidentally, it may be remembered that there promises to be a rather close race this year between King Corn and King Cotton for the proud position of being our premier product. The July report of the Department of Agriculture on Monday reported a condition of cotton of 88.2, which is 8.2 poines higher than the avWILL MAKE IN DAY 43 MILES OF ROAD (National News Association) Ottawa, Kan., July 10. If the plans and expectations of leading citizens of Coffey, Osage and Franklin counties are fulfilled there will be constructed in this section tomorrow, between sunrise and sunset, an improved highway, forty-five miles in length. Practically every able-bodied man in the three counties has volunteered to aid in the work. The road will follow the old Santa Fe trail out of and will connect this city with the town of Lebo. TAR AND FEATHERS. A Coat of These Mo.ns Excruciatinj Tortura to the Victim. Teople who read of taxring and feathering know that the punishment Is a very unpleasant one. but few imagine how terribly paiuful and dangerous it is. Hardened tar is very hard to remove from thji skin, and when feathers are added it forms a kind of cement that sticks closer than a brother. As soon .'is the tar sets the victim's suffering begins. It contracts as it cools, and every oue of the little veins on the body is pulled, causing the most exquisite agony. The perspiration is entirely stopped, and unless the tar is removed death Is certain to ensue. But the removal is no easy task and requires several days. The tar cannot be softened by the application of heat and must be peeled off bit by bit. sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. The irritation to the skin is very great, as the hairs cannot be disengaged, but must be pulled out or cut off. No man can be cleaned of tar in a single day. as the pain of the operation would be too excruciating for endurance, and until this Is done he has to suffer frm a pain like that of 10.000 pin pricks. Numbers of men have died under the torture, and none who have gone through it regard tar and feathering as anything but a most fearful inf3icticn. His Own Fault.

erage July condition during the last ten years. In view of the increased area planted to cotton this year of ap-

I proximately 1.500,000 acres it is evi dent that, barring exceptionally unfavorable climatic conditions from now on. we are to have the largest crop of cotton ever grown. When, furthermore we consider the high prices for the staple, it is possible to appreciate the tremendous prosperity that the growing crop means for the South. In the instance of corn, the fact that planting was conducted under such exceptionally favorable circumstances and that before the recent drouth and heat (which have within the last two days ben so greatly relieved by refreshing rains) became effective the plant was in such excellent condition, made the situation, even at its worst, less damaging than would otherwise have been the case. Without attempting to minimize whatever damage has been done and there unodubtedly has been considerable in certain local sections It is worth while recalling that corn is essentially a hot weather plant, and, granting proper preparation, warm, dry weather means a forcing of the plant and the consequent removal of possible damage by early frosts. It is therefore, too e:rly to become pessimistic in regard to agricultural conditions. A large winter wheat crop Is already harvested, and consequently is out of danger; and the week's re-, ports from the spring wheat sections have certainly not been unfavorable even if they have not proven all that could be desired. It is evident that the next few weeks must continue a period of Irregularity in the 6tock market. We have fully arrived at the period when reports from the grain sections of the country will prove day to day influences. When this period of transition ends, however, we are not unlikely to have a still further advance in prices of standard dividend paying stocks. Money remains abundant and promises to continue so, and there is no incentive whatever to sell securities, as other profitable channels of investment or employment, such as the requirements of trde and industry, do not exist. Excellent information from Washington intimates that Congress will adjourn until the regular session of December on or about August 10th, and that whatever changes in the tariff are to be made before the next Presidential election will then have been made. This means that trade and industry will promptly begin to pick up so soon as the new tariff conditions under which business must be conducted become known. But it is quite evi dent at this writing that the strain of financing the crops will have culmi nated before the active demands for funds in mercantile pursuits become insistent. Any long-range view of the financial situation, based on fundamental con ditions, is therefore a favorable one The Immediate outlook is not quite as encouraging. It suggests caution in the selection of investments and at the same time promises active fuctuations that can readily be taken advantage of by traders who keep well informed on day to day developments that have a bearing on the Stock Exchange price level.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

THE WAR CLOUD. From the New York Times. It is disconcerting in the hottest spell of weather we have suffered, in many years to have than traditional European war cloud loom up on the 'horiaon. But the cloud appeared Wednesday, and was not altogether dispelled yesterday, though the British premier announced his belief that a diplomatic solution of the latest de velopment of the Moroccan question would be found, and the rumors of a monarchial revolution in Portugal were proved to have very slight foundation. As long as the Berlin remains at Agadir France and Great Britain will be disturbed by fears. The English cannot view complacently the prospect of the establishment of a German naval station on the west coast of Africa France cannot consent to a partition of Morocco, according to German ideas Yet a little reflection shows that there is no cause for alarm. SCHOOL OF COURTESY. From the Columbus, Ohio State Jour nal. The Illinois Central railroad will establish a "school of courtesy" throughout every branch of their system. That will be a real service to the road, for polite employes make an enterprise popular. It is very discouraging for a patron of a road to ask a question of an employe and get a rude, mumbling or smart-alecky answer, which Is frequently the ease. It makes no difference how high or low a man's employment is, It is aa much his duty to be courteous as it is to be honest. No one has any more right to treat a man rudely than he has to him him. And especially has a traveler on railroad, or trolley a right to gentle treatment for he is forced to go that way and very often is compelled to ask for information. It is the sign of a low brow and of had breeding to answer a oolite question in a crabbed and crusty manner. But that is often done. CONSERVING NIAGARA. From the Philadelphia Telegraph. The project of saving Niagara Falls in all the glory und grandeur that belongs to this wonder of nature is sgain up before Congress. This is the era of conservation. The American nation has at last aroused from the supine attitude which permitted gigantic and wonderful natural resources to drift out of the national possession through waste or negligence many of them irretrievably. But the old adage "Better late than never" applies in this case, for even now there are many valued and valuable endowments which can with diligent, energetic and foresigbted care be preserved for the generations to fome. Now that the awakening has occurred there must be no lack of activity in saving what we may. And one of these priceless possessions is Niagara Falls, a bill to conserve which is before Congress. OH!
