10 NEEDY CHARITY Millionaire James Campbell Read Little Sisters of Poor Lacked Funds,

GIFT WAS A BIG SURPRISE

Money Came Through the Mail and Is for Addition to the Home. James Campbell, multimillionaire, railroad magnate, stock broker and pro- moter, played Santa Claus to the Little Sisters cf the Poor, 300 South Grand avenue, Tuescay noon, two weeks in advance of the merry Christmas Day. Before these gisters realized that their necessities had reached a dozen persons in the community. Mr. Campbell had signed a check for $5000 and ordered it sent to them. It was like a prayer sent swered immediately. ‘In a newspaper of Tuesday appeared an item that the Little Sisters of the Poor needed $6000 to erect an addition to their present quarters, which have long been inadequate to shelter the aged poor, who find a refuge there. Mr. Campbell, glancing over the paper, saw that item. He was sitting in his com- fortable office the Commonwealth Trust Building. He called his bookkeeper. ‘‘Make me out a check for $5000,"’ said ‘he, “payable to the Mother Superior of ithe Little Sisters of the Poor.’’ | The bookkeeper asked no questions, _ but wrote out the check and took it to his chief's desk. Mr. Campbell quickly i'affixed his signature, and the check was /on itS way to the convent house on ; South Grand avenue in the afternoon mail. Before the ink was dry on the paper the donor had turned to the stock market quotations and dismissed the in- cident from his mind. Gave 83000 on Cold Day. Mr. Campbell declines to discuss the gift or even to confirm it. | That his charities come on the spur of the moment is illustrated by an in- cident of last winter. On the coldest day of the winter Mr. i'Campbell reached his office, covered to ‘his ears with furs and in an overcoat ‘reaching to his heels. Even the ther- feprencr in the private office of the millionaire had not reached its usual imark, indicating comforting warmth. | “Brrr,” growled Mr. Campbell to his bookkeeper, “‘it is cold. Reed, I guess i'you'd better make me out three checks for $1000 apiece.”’ Each check was made out to a char- ‘i{table organization. When Mr. Campbell had signed thé ‘checks he walked over to the heater to warm his hands. Then he sat down at his desk and got busy with his mail. Many years before her death, whicn oceurred about three years ago, MYr. Campbell had cared for the widow of Gen. Fremont, who fought on the Inion side during the war. Gen. Fre- (mont and Mr. Campbell had been bosom (friends in their vouth, and fellow clerks ‘fin a railroad office. When Gen. Fre- jmont died, leaving his family almost 'nothing, Mr. Campbell took upon him- self the care of the widow. He pur- jchased a house for her in Southern California and maintained it till Mrs. | Fremont died, in

HITS HOLDING COMPANY AS ROOT OF TRUST EVIL

POLICY VENDER James Lawrence Fined $300 After Admitting That He Sold Tickets.

DID NOT KNOW HIS BOSS $100 Each—All Cases ' Are Appealed. er, was fined $300 and costs on. his own testimony in the City Hall Police Court Friday for establishing a lottery. Fines of $100 each on the same charge were negro, and Frank Wuhrman, white. Lawrence was arrested Thursday at the Levee and Clark avenue by Police- men 8téime] and Brown of the Central District, who found a comp.ete policy outfit in his possession. He admitted on the stand that he was a policy writer, but denied that he knew the name of his employer. Judge Tracy asked him where he had obtained the policy sheets and slips that he carried. j them from his home. ated where he lad got them before at. over a year in the rear of 313 Spruce street. He said that the game was known to him as the “Brooklyn.” declared that he did not know who were the proprietors of the game. Meets Boss on Street. -“T make my returns of the day to a man that I meet on the street,’’ he said. ‘‘Sometimes he is a white man and sometimes a negro. I meet the man in a different place every day. I have been walking over the same route every day, and I have always managed to dodge the police. I don’t think the Brooklyn has any fixed headquarters.”’ Lawrence was asked who paid the fines of the policy venders. “I. don't know that,” he replied. ‘They are always paid, and we don't do it." Lawrence appeared in court without a lawyer. As soon as he had been con- victed, Howard Sidener, a lawyer -vyho has appeared in many policy cases, ar- ranged for an appeal bond for him. signed by George F. Geisler of 34 Franklin avenue. Lawrence did not know the name of his lawyer. Lawrence had in his possession when arrested, in addition to the usual parz- phernalia of the game, a sheet of ineta! which he said he used to hold the no! icy sheet firm when making the sale of a ticket. Policy Sheet in Sock. Frank Wuhrman and Turner Commo- dore, who were fined $100 each, were ar- rested Dec. 7 by Detectives McMullen and Wells. Wells testified that they saw Wuhrman come out of a saloon at Broadway and Cerre street and followed him. At Sixth and Spruce streets they Saw Wuhrman meet the negro Commo- dore and hand him an envelope. The men were arrested as the exchange was made. The envelope was found to con- tain a policy sheet. Wuhrman said that it had been given to him to hand to the negro by a man in the saloon that he had left. A num- ber of lottery tickets were found in his possession. The negro had a policy sheet in his sock. Commodore, when questioned by police, said that the white man had asked him to hand the envelope to “Big Bob.’ He refused to disclose the identity of “Big Bob. Neither of the men made any state- ment on the stand. The cases will be appealed. Wuhrman conducts a cigur store at 10 North Third street. He was a Republican challenger at the last elec- tion.

General Hadley for an mend additional legislation, if neces- sary, to prevent the monopolizing of the public utilities in this State. The Attorney-General gave the opin- ion that he believed an action in quo warranto would lie, but he thought the St. Louis authorities should proceed if they believed the public here was in- jured. So far there has been no request from St. Louls officials for action by the State authorities, though numerous complaints from private’ individuals have reached the Governor. As a result of his study of the North |}American Co. it is now Gov. Folk’s piirpose to recommend legislation that will prevent the operation of holding companies, such ag the North American. This class of corporations, which has sprung up jin recent years, the Gover- nor believes, is the foundation of the trust evil. He Ys convinced that were it not for the holding companies the trusts could not well be formed. The oil, beef and practically all. other trusts are form by holding compa- nies acquiring a majority of stock in a number of corporations, the Gover- nor belleves. Under existing laws a foreign corpo- ration, such as the North American can purchase a majority of stock In any number of public service corporations in this State and control them through agents of the foreign corporation. Yet the foreign corporation is not required either to incorporate in this State or ob- tain a license to do bustness in M'‘s- souri, as the courts have held, the It is the Governor's purpose to recom 7

a, i ap ~we Governor Would Forbid Operation in Mis- souri of Such Concerns as the North American Believing Their Powers Are What Make the Monopolies Possible. It was authoritatively stated in Jefferson City Friday that proceedings will be instituted, probably within two weeks, against the North American Co. to dissolve its merger of the public service Several weeks ago Gov. Folk, upon receiving information that the North American Co. had acquired a majority of the stock of the traction, light, heat and power companies, virtually consoli- dating these companies, submitted the question to Attorney- opinion as consolidation could be dissolved under the existing laws. to whether such a Governor says, that the purchasing of stock in other corporations is not do- ing business within the meaning of the law. Minority Stockholders He!pless. A bill was introduced at the last Leg- islature by Senator Vories, prohibiting foreign corporations from owning, hold- ing or voting the stock of any Missourt corporation, but it failed of passage. According to legal authorities, one of the principal evils of holding companies is that by acquiring 61 per cent of the capital stock of other corporations they may vote the stock of such corpora- tions, and thus prevent minority k- holders from any voice In the manage- ment of the corporation. The evil as seen by State officials, however, is that by consolidations, such as are possible through a holding com- pany, trusts are formed and an Illegal monopoly is had of public service cor- porations, to the dé@triment of the pub- He. ‘Attorney-General Hadley, who is in St. Louis Friday, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that vy. Folk had recently asked him for an se regarding the legal rights of the North American Co. He said he gave the Governor an opin- ion. He added that he could not, with ropriety, aiscuss an opinion that he fad rendered at the request of the Gov- what action might be ernor, or say taken. The Attorney-General is hearing com- plaints against the United Railways Co. at the Southern Hotel. One of the com- paints is that the corporation is vio- lating its charter by haull freight, and another, that the act of 1899, under which the several street railway sys- tems of the city twere consolidated, is unconstitutional. a

Saloon Keepers on Carpet for Negligence in Observing Sunday Rules. _ Saloons in St. Louis and all over Mis- sourt will be forced to be closed from midnight to 5 a. m. every day if Gov. Folk has his way. He says that 7 per cent of the serious crimes with which the authorities have to deal oc- cur “between these hours. In the bill which he will have present- ed to the Legislature asking that the office of State Excise Commissioner be appointed, he will incorporate a previ- Sion for the midnight closing of saloons, Simultaneous with the Governor's an- nouncement is the action of “hief of Po- lice Creecy in ordering his men to see that gambling of all kinds is prohibited in the saloons of St. Louis. Even pinochle games for the drinks must go. Proprietors of saloons will not be permitted to keep dice boxes with which customers may shake for the drinks. If it is reperted that a bartender per- mits two prospective buyers to match pennies to see who shall pay the score this shall be held to constitute gambling and the police will prefer charges with the Excise Commissioner against the proprietor, Many saloon keepers made a vigorous protest to Chief Creecy against this rul- ing, telling him that it would greatly injure their business, but their appeals , were in vain. Warned About Open Shutters. Dramshop keepers in St. Louis are now being summoned to appear at Ex- cise Commissioner Mulvihill’s office for keeping the blinds or curtains of their places down or the screen doors closed on Sunday, so as to shut out a view of the interior of their places of busi- ness, Last Sunday an employe of the Ex- clse Commissioner's office made an in- Bpection of the saloons in the district bounded by Franklin avenue, Washing- ton avenue, Eighteenth _ street Broadway and noted the saloons, which a view from end to end was shut Out by blinds, curtains or screen doors. All the dramshop keepers whose places were noted received a postal card, with the message: ‘‘Call at my office in ref- erence to the conduct of your dram- shop.”’ When the men notified appeared they were informed that they had to keep their places on Sunday so that an un- obstructed view of the interior could easily be obtained by anyone passing in front. In all cases the men summoned pleaded carelessness and greater care in future. KITTY CHEATHAM’S: RECITAL. Young Southern Woman Gives Pleasing Entertainment at St. Louis Woman’s Club.

Instead of start- ing the machinery, however, a_ solid - sheet of flame leaped from the tank and in a few moments the tonneau was completely destroyed. Mr. Meletio was informed of the acci- dent and the following morning made a trip with an insurance adjuster to view the wreckage. The car was a total wreck and it was decided not to at- tempt hauling it back to the city. The machine, which was valued at about 3000, was fully covered by insurance. ‘ TO SELECT SITE JAN. 11.

The doctor denied that a person of large frame had greater resistance to disease than a_person of small frame. “It depends upon the quality of the material in the person,” he sald. Dr. H. gaidiey, the family physi- cian, after describing illnesses of Mr. | Peper, gave it as his opinion that the subject of the hypothetical question was not of disposing mind. Dr. Laidley said that Mr. Peper pre- sented such a convincing picture of semile dementia in May, 1903, that he cautioned Col. Bell that he should not be permitted to attend to business. “Semile dementia in some persons progresses so rapidly.” he said, “that there was danger of Mr. Peper doing

shame on his family as involve the business in loss.” Bore Blame for Father. Evidence brought out Thursday dis- closes how jealous Christian Peper of his reputation as a successful busi- ness man. He once made a failure of the cotton warehouse business, accord- ing to his son, Charles G. Peper, but was less concerned about the loss of $60,000 than he was about the impairment of is business reputation which he thoueht would result from the fact becoming known that he had failed in the busi- ness. He exacted a pledge from Charles, the latter says, to take the blame for the failure and never tell that the business was his father’s. He acknowledged that he had gone so far as to perjure himself in his deposition to protect the business reputation of his father. by saying that Christian Peper had given him the money to go into business on his own account, but he broke the pledge on the witness stand and vowed that he would now tell the whole truth. He was 21 vears 0]4 when the unsuc- cessful enterprise was launched. When Judge Klein asked him if his father had not given him $50,000 or $60,000 at that time and he denied it tnerS was a good deal of surprise, as it was-known that ne had testified in his deposition that he had received such a sum. Son a Mere Figurehead. Raising his voice excitedly. Peper said: “I will explain that. My father did not give me the money. We were partners together. He put all the money in. I was a mere figurehead. My fa- ther said if the business was a success I would bea great man. If it failed I would get the blame. The business was a failure and the money was lost. My father wanted me to take the blame and I promised him I would never tell. When my deposition was taken I kept my promise, but now that everything is to be made public, I will tell the truth.” Judge Klein, reading from his deposi- tion, asked him if he had made the an- swers contained in it, to the effect that his father had given him the money. He acknowledged each answer. “Then when you made those answers you were not telling the truth,” said Judge Klein. “In that particular I was not.”’ The witness testifed that Christian Cornelius, protege of Christian Peper, ‘ran the business in the ground” in

Peper to take hold of it and build it up. He was not permitted to tell what had been done with a quart bottle of whisky which he brought with him from Louisville when he came a week before his father’s death. The purport- ed use of it came within the limits of the excluded death-bed testimony. He said he had regarded his father as of unsound mind after 1901, but admit- ted that he had given his father power of attorney to represent him at stock- holders’ meetings after that. and iden- tified in nis father’s private letter book a letter addressed to him cautioning him not to buy tobacco for the com- pany in such large quantities. He iden- tifled the signature of Christian Peper to minutes of directors’ meetings down to a few months before his death, but said that his father at that time would have signed anything, eyen a check for $100,000 if requeste@ to do so. Nicholas Bell on Stand. He said his salary was $5000 In 1902, while that wu Fred anu Cornelius was Only $3000, but added quickly that he would rather have their $3000 and what they got on the side f-om his father than his $5000. His father had told him, he said, that he did not intend that Cornelius should get anything from the estate. Nicholas M. Bell, son-in-law of Capt. Peper, testined that Capt. Pepers mind was much impaired during the last year of his life and that he would go out in the winter with a straw hat on. Capt. Peper told him, he said, that Fred and Chris would not permit him to let Mr. Bell have any stock in the incorporated company. He was not permitted to testify about what took place tn the sick room after Capt. Peper, realizing that he was about to die, had asked that all the children be summoned, as he had something to say to them, and Fred had come to the house in response to a message.

| merged BOND HEARING Arguments Are Heard Over Funds of Concerns in Re- ceiver’s Hands, Judges Sanborn and Hook of the Unit-. ed States Circuit Court of Appeals heard | arguments Friday on the motion to re- quire State Treasurer Gmelich to pay into the hands of the receiver $1,042,000 deposited with him to secure bonds ts- sued by the American Reserve Bond Co., the North American Investment Co. of North America and the Colonial Securities Co. of St. Louis. A receiver for these severa] compa- nies, which operated throughout the United States, The Mississippi Valley Trust Co. was appointed depository receiver in_ St. Louis, with Clinton P. Rowell as attor- ney. The three companies attempted to form a merger about the time the re- ceiver was appointed. Of the fund in the hands of the State Treasurer about $500,00) was deposited by the North American Investment Co.; $100,000 by the American Reserve Bond Co. and $400,000 by the Colonial Securities Co. + The style of the case out of which the motion originated is Morrill against the three bond companies; Attorney-Genera] Hadley, as the legal representative of the State Treasurer, and W. H. Watkins, Supervisor of State Building and Loans. Attorney-General Hadley contends that the Federal Court has no juris- diction in this case; that the Missouri statutes provide the manner in which recéiverships shall be conducted and that the statutes should be _ followed in this case. He also contends that the money should not be paid into the hands of the receiver at this timé. Missouri! Bondholders’ Issue Later. A score of lawyers interested in the case were present in court. The question of whether the money now deposited with the Missouri Treas- urer shall ultimately be distributed among Missouri bond holders, or among the bond holders’ scattered throughout the several states, will have to be determined later. Hadiey contends that the money was deposited to secure Missouri bond hold- ers. Attorneys representing the bond- holders are not agreed on this proposi- tion. There were altogether about ten different suits, most of which have been into two or three distinct actions. Attorneys Clifford B. and W. H. Allen and W. G. Carpenter, who originated the suits that threw the com- nies into the hands of a receiver in issouri. are taking neutral ground on the motion before the court. Edgar Rombauer represents still another in- terest, and Attorney E. A. Krauthoff of Kansas City represents the Morrill and other Illinois complainants. The matter is one of the most com- ‘plicated that has been before the courts ‘for settlement for a long time.

- BLUE, May Be Aristocratis, But It’s Liable To Cause Cold Hands and Feet. Wherever the idea that blue-blooded ancestry is the best may have originat- ed, the fact is, physiologically speak- | ing, blue blood is bad blood. That is to say, the blood in the, veins which js dark and appears blue | through the white skin, is that portion) ef the blood stream laden with the | waste of refuse material of the sys-| tem, after the red blood (arterial) has | carried real food to. the tissues. “Red | blood” is today the mark of Nature's aristocrat. ; When, from imperfect nutrition, the, blood loses its rich red color and be- | comes dark or “blue” the result is cold, hands and feet, and more or less pal-| pitation of the heart, as well as gen-| eral weakness. Coffee drinking, 1n} many persons, causes blue blood and does not insure any coat-of-arms or ancient pedigree—except the ancient habit of coffee drinking itself. A “blue blooded” woman writes: -“T drank coffee for ten years, MY, head was dizzy, I had constant heart- | burn, could not sleep nights, my hands and feet were cold summer and winter, my blood was poor and thin (Blue Blood! ). “Seeing so much said in praise of Postum inthe papers, my hus and and I decided to try it. That was more, than a year ago and we have used it! ever since. “Now my head is not dizzy, my hands and féeet are always warm, my nerves are steady and I can sleep at night. A few weeks ago, calling at a friend’s house, they said, ‘What in the world have vou been doing? You look ten years vounger. I never saw you look so well.’ “When I told them it was on ac- count of Postum, that I had quit drink- ing coffee, they could hardly believe it. But some time after that they told me they had been using Postum, too, had quit coffee and were so much better every way.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mieh. Don’t fail to

BREWER BUSCH ADVOCATES. INCOME. TAX He Says Men of Wealth Should Be Willing to Share the Burden,

RICH MEN TOO STINGY He Thinks Incomes of $4000 or $5000 Should Pay Percentage.

IT WORKED DURING WAR Difficulty of Preparing Consti- tutional Law Not Insur- mountable. Adolphus Busch, in discussing Presi- dent Roosevelt's recommendation to

- Congress for the enactment of an in- Come tax law, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter Friday that “if there were not g0 many stingy rich men in the United States every man with a decent in- coMe would be paying his fair propor- . tlon of Government taxes. Mr. Busch is a millionaire many times Over. It has been frequently said in banking quarters that he is the richest man west of the Mississippi River. An income tax law would hit him probably harder than any other St. Louisan. But no matter how high the tax rate on incomes might be made, Mr. Busch !8 heartily in favor of the proposition. He ets plenty of enjoyment out of life. very year he spends several months abroad. He devotes four or five hours @ day to business, the remainder to recreation and to receiving and visiting friends. His business office at the big brewery of which he is the head is a em. Seated before a huge mahogany desk {fm his office Friday Mr. Busch de- scribed at length the blessings of the Fich men. Rich Should Be Liberal. “A man with money is so fortunate that I believe he should be respectably Iiberal,’’ said Mr. Busch. ‘T have always wondered why it fs that those of us who have so much of this world’s goods still want to get more and more still and never share our pros- perity with others. “Now I don’t want to decry men for money. That’s what We can’t have too much of But this thing of “the wealthy man objecting every time - § the Government wants to impose a tax Fy ¢ iis ~ nf Tp ai Po a" > se ee aes, . NODS ER eh Ae Me ‘We had it @uring the war. that may affect his income is silly and short-sighted. “A tax on incomes is not a new thing. It was a retty stiff tax, too, but every cilizen re it cheerfully . I was sorry to see the income tax law that was passed several years ago knocked out by the Bupreme Court. Surely we can get uP a law that is constitutional. “The time has arrived when we should revise the tariff and make the rich man pay the proper share of Gov- ernment revenue.’’, Mr. Busch is known as a free-trader, but he believes in keéping a*tariff of most articles. Tariff Not for Revenue. “Tl want the tariff on European goods reduced, not eliminated,’’ declared Mr. Busch “Tle Government is getting all its revenue from thig source at the present time. I think an“income tax would pro- vide enough revenue for the Government to justify the abolition of the tariff on some of our highly protected products. I believe the tariff should be employed to protect the American laborer and the American manufacturer, but not as a means of revenue for the Government. “T have devoted no attention to the details of an income tax law, but it geems to me that it should require éveryone having a good incom®, say at least $4000 or $5000 a vear. to pay taxes.” “Would you consider $5 on every $1000 income a fair basis of taxation?’ Mr. Busch was asked. Has Not Sttudied Deails. “T should say that would be very, very low,”” he replied. ‘‘I believe the tax was $ per thousand during that war. Probably one-half of one per cent would be reasonable. At all events, we want an income-tax statute. ty of men at Washington, men with wise heads, who should be able to 100K | after the legal status of the subject. “President Roosevelt is right this matter and any man with money should be ashamed to oppose such a rea- sonable and just obligation. “Capital and labor are getting along nicely now, but their relations would be even more harmonious once the masses were convinced that the mon- eyed interests were not evading a sin- e debt they owed to their Govern- ment.” Mr. Busch expressed himself in favor of a deep waterways and a larger army and navy. “T want a boat to be on every river,” sald he. “Our standing army should number at least 150,000. As a sea power we should be inferlor to no other na- tion. ‘The United States is today enjoying an era of unprecedented prosperity. “Bo are European countries. In Ger- many. France and Engtand the tariff on imported goods amounts to nothing. But each of those nations has an income tax law that supplies the Government with all needed revenues. If England ean work out this problem why can't we do it”? Of course we can. There is no such word as fail in the dictionary of a progressive American.” CARNEGIE WOULD TAX BIG FORTUNES.

ec Strength Gomes: Not From What You Eat, But From What You Digest. Most people eat most foods without discrimination—it matters little what. Kew stop to think what that food does for them. ‘This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper choice of foods, rapid eating, and improper mastication, are the unquestioned causes of all stomach disorders from the slight ache to the malignant cancer. There is nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach—a very vat for putrefaction, sending forth its poison throughout the entire system, depress- ing the brain, befouling the breath, souring the taste, deadening the mus- cles, incapacitating the liver and kid- neys for their work, debilitating the heart, choking the lungs and clogging the bowels. All of these disagreeable and danger- ous conditions are due to the improper digestion of food and the consequent assimilation of poison. What else can be expected? If the food lies in the stomach, if the system is constipated, fermentation is It shows itself in sour watery ings, belehings, heartburn and painful breathing. There is only one way to relieve this condition. If the stomach refuses to digest your food put something into it that will. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are nothing but digestives. They are not a medicine. They work when the stomach will not. Each tablet contains enough pepsin, diastase. golden seal and other di- gestive elements to reduce 3000 grains of ordinary food to the proper con- sistency for assimilation into the blood. Stuart’s Digestive Tablets are abso- lutely pure. There is nothing harmful in them as shown in their endorsement by 40,000 physicians in the United States and Canada. Ask your family physician his opin- ion of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and if he is honest towards you he will state positively that they will cure yéur stomach trouble whatever it may be, unless you have waited too long and have allowed your disorder to de- velop into cancer. Act today and begin to end your suf- fering. + nooerrrr green, with high and reveres, trimmed velvet and two- strap down back buttons; our reg- self home ‘way up by the north pole.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Cambridge Livingston of New York and Mrs. Cy- rus W. Field Judson of that city were the persons because of whose mar- riage Nov. 10, in Washington, Rev. Fdward I. Mott received a rebuke from Bishop’ Satterlee. The names were disclosed today. Mr. Mott was reprimanded at a méeet- ing of the Episcopal clergy here for having officiated at a marriage “to which one of the parties had been dl- vorced.” Mrs... Livingston was dl- vorced from her husband, a grand- son of the late Cyrus Field of New York, about a year ago. Her marriage to Mr. Livingston came:as a surprise. It was reported that Mr. Mott per- formed the ceremony, knowing it was against the rules of the church. It was stated that he consented to of- ficiate “because of his love for the woman in the case and of his desire that she should be made happy.” Mr. Mott, who ts a bachelor and a lifelong friend of Mrs. Livingston's family, to- day repudiated the interview in which he was said to have declared his love for Mrs. Livingston. Mrs. Livingston was formerly Miss Condit-Smith. She obtained her di- vorce from Cyrus Field Judson on tthe ground of unfaithfulness and crueity. She is a sister of Mrs. Teonard W ood, wife of Gen. Wood, the Presidents close friend; of Mrs. Albert Key, wife of Commander Key of the rPesidents staff, and of Mrs. Richard Hooker, who, while Miss Mary Condit-Smith, was in the boxer siege at Pekin. She is a niece of the late Justice Field of the United States Supreme Court.

ROOT AND THE AMERICAN SYSTEM. According to Mr. Secretary Root’s Pennsylvania Society speech, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and the rest of the United States, singly and severally, have made , 60 poor a success of local self-government thus far, that this is about their last chance for it. If they (do not proceed to do better, and that at once, they ; are in imminent danger of being reduced to dependen- cies or perhaps “possessions.” + Mr. Root’s advice to Missouri to take notice that it is having a last chance, is too much like the Pres- ident’s warning to Cuba for the resemblance to be merely accidental. The parallelism is so close that if the President had warned Cuba thus, Mr. Root could not have issued the like warning to Missouri, IIli- * nois and Kansas. It is not a result of mere assimila- ‘tion, unconscious or otherwise, but of what seems ‘és to Mr. Root the logic of the situation. We can confess in Missouri that we have not been equal to our opportunities for local self-government. Illinois can make the same confession. So can In- diana, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and Calitor- nia. If it comes to confession, every citizen of every State in the United States can confess his short- comings and his State’s shortcomings.

>> Ae, i i THE ELUSIVE BALL. President Roosevelt has often exhorted us to keep our eye on the ball. } Charles Talley of St. Louis did not have his eye Mr. Talley caught a

burglar in his home. The thief said he had not long been bad and had only lapsed from probity when he read some dime novels. Mr. Talley gave him a word of advice and permitted him to go. That was not keeping his eye on the ball. What he should have done was to have backed away from the burglar to the bookcase, keeping the thief care- fully covered with his revolver. He should have ; taken from the shelves some good literature of the only have thought of it. sort calculated to impress for good a mind which » evil literature could impress for bad, He should have said: “Here, my dear fellow, take these. Read them. When you have finished them, come and get some more. Don’t read any more dime novels.” That would have been keeping his eye on the ball. It was, indeed, a great chance, if Mr. Talley could ++ CO re eee ne

>?-o BROCA’S CONVOLUTION. Does Broca’s convolution mean anything to you? No. #t € % re $; § 4 > : ‘coming to a definite conclusion, Yet you are using it all the time—that is, if you are doing any good to yourself and the world. Broca’s convolution is a small part of your brain, and the reason you should know something about it is because it is by all odds the most important | part of the soft gray matter within your skull. Physicians had for decades tried to locate the part of the brain which controlled speech, but without In 1861 Paul Broea proved that, in the average person, a small tract in the left half of the brain is used as the instrument for turning thought into language. This little tract of brain tissue was therefore ealled Broca’s convolution. It is really double. There is a similar convolution -in the right half of your brain, But, unless you are left-handed, -you don’t use that bit of gray matter to talk with, The rule is that right-handed persons use the left iside of the brain, or that little bit called Broca’s convolution, to produce speech, while left-handed persons use the corresponding bit on the right side of ‘the brain. This is because speech and handicraft go togeth- er. When you were a child you were taught to use your right hand. And the use of the right hand ' _ stimulated the Broca convolution in the left half ot the brain into becoming what we may call your talk- ing machine. Your right hand is connected by nerves with your left brain, and vice versa. All this means that you have been unconsciously » Seduceting youngprain in the art of talking, expressing | ~~ your thought. And you have done so largely, if nok entirely, by using your hand. It has net been determined, but it is probably the fact, that the more you educate your hand, either right or left, as may be your custom, the more capa- ble of expressing your thought your brain will be- come, We know of some cases where a skilled hand and a great command of language went together. Leonar- do da Vinci was an expert mechanic, an eminent painter, and a teacher whose field covered nearly every branch of human knowledge. Gabriel Dante Rosetti used his hand to create masterpieces on the canvas, while his brain pro- duced what are perhaps the most melodious sonnets in the English language. Abraham Lincoln knew how to use his hands with effect, and his command of thought and diction was sufficient for one of the greatest crises in the his- tory of the nation. Gladstone used his hands as well as his brain. Roosevelt does the same, and others might be named who have been equally well balanced. But, perhaps, the most interesting thing about Broca’s convolution is the conclusion reached by emi- nent scientists that it proves there is a THINKER back of the brain. Who educated Broca’s convolution, in your brain, on the right side if you are left handed; or on the left side if, as is probably the case, you are right handed ? You did, of course. But what are you? A mere animal? Is that probable? Study your mind if you can spare the time. It is a fertile field for study. It contains as many wonders as a great city. But it is better to use it for all-round, useful work. And the best use you can make of it is to develop to the utmost that part of the brain known as Broca’s convolution. — $00 We hear much of the law’s delay, and of the evil influence of wealth in staving off merited punish- ment from criminals who can command such,influ- ence. But there are cases where such doubt of guilt exists that it may be for tne good of the community, 2s well as the accused persons, that the law’s mo- tion is impeded, Such a case is that of Albert T. Patrick, a new chapter in which is given in the com- ing Sunday Post-Dispatch. The fight for the life of this man has been won, through the undying love of a sister, who lives in St. Louis. But there is still much to be done. In order to make Patrick a free man and to remove the stigma from his name, if that be possible, one more link in the chain of evidence must be forged, and that the most important. Read- ers of the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine will doubtless sympathize with the devoted woman who has undertaken to carry this fight to a finish. It is a story of mystery and perseverance of the most compelling interest,

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONSCIENCE. Building Commissioner Smith says the fire escape ordinance is defective and practically ineffective be- cause a second prosecution cannot follow a convic- tion. \ violator of the ordinance can pay his fine once and then go on committing the same offense, for it is a principle of high, ineffable constitutional law that a man cannot be punished twice for the same misdeed. As first drafted the ordinance provided that each day on which the law should be violated by omis- sion to provide suitable escapes should constitute a separate offense. But the House of Delegates thought such a provision would be unconstitutional and therefore struck it out. It is lovely and reassuring to know that the dele- gates take such good care of the constitution. The constitution, the ark of the covenant of liberty, the bulwark, the palladium, the solemn instrument of government—ah! it is safe. ‘The Philistines will never be able to steal it and carry it away to As- calon or Gath. The House of Delegates is on guard. We are so glad. The constitutional conscience of the House of Delegates is tender as a gentle lady’s love. aniline Whatever Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root do, the great charter of American liberties will never lack a defender so long as George F. Baer draws the life. It was Mr. Baer who helped Mr. Morgan with the State Rights applause when John Hay Brown answered the Secretary of State. As teading Mr. Baer would shed his last drop of ink for the constitution of the United States, although he is not so devoted to the con-

breath of president of the stitution of Pennsylvania, which forbids railroads from mining coal. It was a fortunate thing that rug- ged old strict-construction Jeffersonians like George . Baer, J. P. Morgan and Charles A. Peabody, with their railroad and coal-operator friends, were near by to serve as pillars of the constitution when Mr. Root was bent on pulling the props from under it, and every New Jersey charter in the room was in dang of being buried in the ruins. 4 ep $$ rn JUSTICE BROWN’S BAD BREAK. Said Justice Brown at the Pennsylvania Society dinner: The courts give commands. not only to individuals “but even to presidents and congresses,” and the high financiers cheered long enough, he repeated “even to presi- wnen magnates and had dents.” Shades of Thomas Jefferson!, This is exactly what he predicted. Why did the magnates, the high and frenzied financiers, the lords of lustily ? e And why did Justice Brown say the very thing luere, cheer sv that would cause uneasiness among so many people who remember Jefferson's warning ? ooo The story that two Japanese regiments are in

BACK TO THE COUNTRY. James J. Hiil says our return to the country is inevitable, and things seem shaping themselves to reconcile us to going back. A milking machine exhib- ited at the Interstate Dairy Congress at St. Joseph, Mo., this week is a success. Two cows were led out upon the stage of the Lyceum Theater, the machine was attached and turned on, and the kind-eyed and wondering sisters of the family Bovidae were milked in a jiffy. Thus passes the hardship which drove

the most of us away from the dear old What bitter memories of milking home. What agony to | in the cold, cold barn! early crawl from soft, warm blankets | to go shivering down to that torment | whose symbol was a wide-mouthed tin pail and wose sign was the low stool, caught by one of its used as a club! which could be three legs and The country calls to us through the milking machine; but it is not yet the voice of the Siren. There is more to be done! There is yet to be devised a ma- chine which will hitch and unhitch the horses, the automaton which will plod pehind the plow; the clock scarecrow, which will fire a shot at half-hour in- tervals and keep the crows out of the grain; the chemical sprayer which will take the moisture out of the mud and the iron bulldog which may be made to park and automatically plunge upon the front lawn merely by pressing a but- ton when the housewife sees a tramp. The milking machine is a good begin-

ning; but only a beginning. . . TS RE 3 0F nd eee te Ot nae, t DOOM ct oS a es Sa ad Re a oi x oS.

Mrs. Jarr. “And if you felt as miserable as I do this day you wouldn't worry and torment me!”’ “Why, what the matter; you're ndt ill, licitously. “No, I'm not ill! I am just worried sick, and that’s what I am!” Mrs. Jarr agitatedly. ‘it just looks to me asas if nobody cares for me or tries to help me at all!” “Come now” said Mr. Jarr cheerfully, “you are just a little out of sorts, that’s all!’’ are you?” asked Mr. Jarr, 80- said “I'm glad you think so!” sald Mrs. Jarr; “I’m glad you think so. I notice that you do not worry about anything! You haven't got to buy a whole lot of things for a whole lot of people, duing the best you can, spending more than you should, going without things you need for yourself, and only to know after you have done all this that ‘your little tributes of love and affection will be sneered at!’’ continued Mrs. Jarr. “So you have to give tributes of love and affection to people who will sneer at them?” asked Mr. Jarr. “Why, of course! The very people you despise the most are the ones that send you some cheap little thing a few davs before Christmas, and then you have to rush out and buy something better for them or they'll show what you sent to their friends and declare that what they sent you was something in solid silver!’ “Don't give me anything—don’t give me neckties, don’t give me cigars. Let me have my freedom to wear what I like and smoke what I please. If you will give me anything, give me a kiss!” said Mr. Jarr, assuming a dramatic pose, “IH never Kiss you as long as I live!” declared Mrs. Jarr, bursting into tears. “‘You've been opening the bundles on the top shelf of the closet in our room, hidden under my organdie summer gowns, and you have found out I got you @ smoking set, a pafr of Romeo slippers, half a dozen lovely tles and @ box of cigars!"

Directly opposite on two sides are saloons. Citizens whose children attend this school think there is a law prohibling saloons so near a school- house. The Excise Commissioner's of- fice will not need any police aid im handling this case. J. Hi: A Christmas Suggestion. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. There are two classes of people who work hard with little compensation. These are street car conductors and newsboys. I would suggest that on the day before Christmas—Monday—every- one who rides on the car, instead of givitg 6 cents give 10—5 for the conduc- tor. Everyone who buys a paper let him pay 5 cents instead of a penny. In this way much joy and happiness can be given those who woul not Otherwise have it, and at comparatively no cost to the givers. MORTON M. WOLFF. Sure; It Is to Laugh. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial last week on the Wa- (bash tracks through Forest Park cer- tainly hit the nail on the head. That “knock-down” argument of Messrs. De- lano, Gould et al., thatthe giving up of six miles of non-producing, obstructive tracks would invalidate their bonds resting on their franchise, is certainly the hugest joke of this year. It is funny how extremely law abiding these great corporations can become when they are requested to yleld up a few miles of the right-of-way so freely granted to them in the past. Remem- ber, this is the same road which pre- pared a statement showing how it was losing money carrying freight in Mis- sourl at present rates and made a slight discrepancy between that and its other statement prepared for the Investing public of a few million dollars. ; Let merchants meet every Wabash solicitor with the statement, “Come clean: take the tracks out of Forest Park and we will consider your road,” and we will guarantee that {it will not be long till those six miles of obstruc- tive and nulsance-producing tracks will be eliminated from the Wabash system with a suddenness that will cause the poor ‘‘bondholders’ to gasp with as- tonishment. And the “knock-down’" ar- gument of Messrs. Delano, Gould et al. will evaporate phere,” from which {t was conjured by the clever corporation counsel who is paid for conjuring up just such buga- boos.

If she tells you she is a graduate from a cooking school, ask to see her certificate. if, however, you are not paying high wages, select her for her willingness to be taught. Be firm and kind, but see to it that when you give an order it is obeyed. If after a fair trial the new maid does not seem to fill the place, tell her go, frankly and kindly, and reason with her. If this has no effect, give her week's notice or a week's pay in advance and let her go. Never, under any circumstances, discharge a servant in a fit of anger, If you engage a servant by the month pay her on the first day of the month. If by the week, on the last day of the week. 3 Remember, if you discharge a servant before her week or month (or what- ever the period by which she {s engaged) is up, you are obliged by law to pay her full wages for that unexpired period. If, ‘on the contrary, a sérvant leaves of her own accord before the expira- tion of the month or week by which she is hired, she camnot. legally claim any. weges for 80 much of that month or week as she has worked, i ERE are a few wise rules to when you are engaging a servant; See that she has a character for honest3 truthfulness. fo demand trained help, look carefully into observe and livery ble at the intersection of Min- ord Geaman and King's highway?

Most of the first-class Brapplers went to the small villages and remained until the European peril had taken shin for the other side. Baptiste met Hackenschmidt in a match in the Coliseum. Hackenschmidt threw the local man easily, Baptiste being simply outweighed and outclassed. ¢kenschmidt is probably the most wonderful wrestler that ever stepped on Sag mat. He is world’s champion and tn avélass by himself. Frank Gotch, although he lost his Championship title to Fred Beell, when the fightine little Marshfield farmer knocked him silly by banging his head on the floor at New Orleans a week ago last Saturday, is generally consid- ered the best wrestler in America. Of course, if Gotch wins; which most Wrestling judges expect he will because of his 30-odd pounds weight advantage, Baptiste will be more anxious than ever to get Gotch, as the American cham- plen, and Hackenschmidt, world’s cham- pion, together for a match.

National League Meeting Ends With His Trade Still Hanging Fire.

KELLY, TOO, IN DISPUTE

Barney Dreyfuss Atxious to Trade 21 Men and $15, 000 for Young. With a couple of important deals fof players hanging fire, the National League magnates have adjourned, sub- ject to the call of President Pulliam, after following the example of the American League and ng to increase Pulliam’s salary. The amount of the increase was not announced, but it js understood that Pulliam’'s salary for the ensuing year will be $8000. The League also vd@te@ to increase Secretary John Heydler’s salary. The other business transacted was to give President Pul- jam full swing in the appointment of his staff of ympires. Joe selly, who is very anxious to get away from the Cincinnati club, suc- ceeded in’ getting every club in the League except the New York club to waive claim ‘to his services. John Me- Graw refused roint blank to waive claim to Kelly. The result was that from the time the League adjourned up to a late hour Thursday night Man- ugér Ned Hanlon of Cincinnati and Mc- Graw were trying to.put through a. trade by which Kelly would become a member of the Giants. McGraw made. Hanlon,a cash offer, but the Reds’ manager refused to con- sider anything .but a trad® by which’ he would secure a player to take Kel-. ly's place. ‘ Another deal pending involves Mike Grady, catcher of the St. Louis Cardi- nals. Grady, who has a_ prosperous business in Pennsylvania, declared him- self positively a year ago to the St. Louis management that he would de- mand his transfer at the end of the season of 1906. Both Cincinnati and New York want the player and it is merely a question of which club will pay St. Louis the most money for Gra- ey's releas». Jack Dunn, who. managed the Provi- dence Eastern League club for the last two years, was given his unconditional release by Hugh Duffy and Fred Doe, the new owners of the team. Ned Han- lon at once made Dunn an offer to man- age the Baltimore club, succeeding Hugh Jennings, which will probably be accepted. President. Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club startled the - magnates somewhat by asking for waivers on wl players he has under contract. Before asking this, Dreyfuss made a proposi- tion to President George §S. Dovey of the Boston club to give him the 21 play- ers and $15,000 for Cy Young, the Boston club's great left-hand pitcher. Dovey’s answer was: “I am not looking for quantity, but for quality in players. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll trade even if you gfve me Hans Wagner, Fred Clark and Tommy Leach for Cy. Oth- erwise there is nothing doing.”’ Dreyfuss couldn't see his way clear to

With this idea in mind a Chicago dele- gation is being organized to»make the trip to St. Louis next Sunday, leaving Chicago Saturday night and returning Monday morning. Judge Howard, sec- retary of the Iilinols Bowling Associa- tion; John Schank and Gus Steel are the nucleus of the party.
