LEFT CURIOUS NOTE Did Not Wish to Be Buried at Old Home Unless He Had : Got Revenge. | Bpecial to the Post-Dispatch. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 28.—After an- nouncing his determination to kill every- body connected with his being accused of the murder of his two children, Will- fam McBroom, # years old, under arrest to keep him from executing his threat, gWallowed a quantity of strychnine at Marked Tree, Ark., and committed sui- McBroom left a note, apparently writ- ten some time in advance, naming rela- tives he wished notified in the event anything happened to him, and conclud- img with this sentence: ‘Don’t bury me at Harrisburg, Ark., unless before my death I have succeeded in avenging the deaths of my two little children.’’ Har- risburg was the old home of McBroom, and there is considerable speculation as to what he meant by the sinister remark. Children Died of Poison. McBroom was under indictment for the murder of his two children, Hliza- ' beth, aged 8, and Leona, aged 6. Both + died suddenly about a month ago, and Thee analysis of their stomachs showed the d@ied from strychnine poisoning. - mother was Mead and the prin- 1 witness: against McBroom was a mon keeper. McBroom was taken esboro for safekeéping after his sat, but recently gave bond and we 3 ie returned to Marked ‘Tree: Sunday, and went immediately to the home of we ‘hegro woman. He told her he was 2 soing to kill Mayor Forgus, -who acted a ner at the inquest over his two children; Dr. Taylor, who made the first @nalysis of their stomachs and de- ' @lared death due to poisoning and the | megro woman who had testified against | Found Dead in Cell. She complained to the authorities, "and McBroom was arrested. A bottle - gontaining strychnine was taken from ‘him then, and he was placed in a celi. He evidently succeeded in hiding more ‘ef the poison, for when guards went to his cell this morning he was dead, aud “small bottle which had contained strychnine was by his side. _ Another prisoner in the Jaij declared ‘oom ha@ awakened him during night declaring he was dying, and had tried to arouse the cuards but hed failed. Later McBroom becaine quiet and it is supposed death followed. _MeBroom was a widower, fairly well- t6-do, and was a member of a good family.

James McDonald of 1109 Long avenue, Alton, defended his mother-in-law with his fists when William Ballard, who, with his wife, shares the McDonald home, rebuked the mother-in-law. Both young husbands were arrested. When they were tried in the Alton Pclice Court Monday it developed that McDonald's mother-in-law, Mrs. J. O. Washom, 68 years old, of Clarksville, Mo., had been invited to become a mem- ber of the household in the hope that her presence would quiet the discord that had arisen between the two young cou- ples who lived together. Sunday Mrs.*Washom, in the kitchen, remarked to the young wives: ‘My, you girls have let the rolling pin get awfully dirty.” Ballard told her not to “begin on” his wife. Then McDonald took his mother-in-iaw’s part and he and Ballard fought. Ballard, seized a stove poker and in striking at McDonald hit Mrs. Was- hom on the arm. Ballard was fined $10 and the charges against McDonald were dismissed. FLOCK SEEKS ABSENT PASTOR, FINDS MINISTER SELF SLAIN Razor Grasped in Hand and Ram- Aling Note Prove Demented Man Ended Life. FARGO, N. D., Dec. 28.—Failmg to ar- rive at church, where his congregation had assembled for Sunday worship, a searching party was formed to find the Rev. Robert C. Dougherty, pastor of the Congregational Church at Buchan- an, N. D. On visiting his apartments over the Buchanan State Bank, the minister was found dead. He had committed suicide, a razor with which he had killed himself being gripped in his hand, while a rambling note half explaining the deed was found on a table. This note was evidently written Dec. 23, on which day he bor- rowed a revolver from a neighbor, but his courage failed him. His actions had been watched for some time by the peo- ple of Buchanan, who were not satis- fied that he was in his right mind. Mr. Dougherty formerly lived in Kan- sas City. —w le ADMITS ROBBING UNCLE AND TRYING TO SHOW BURGLARY East. Side Youth Arrested With $200 ef.Stolen Mouey and Confesses. The efforts of /illiam Schneider, 19 years old, to make his uncle believe that burglars had entered their home in New Hanover, Ill., and robbed it of $300, failed Sunday when he was arrested in East St. Louis and confessed to the theft. His uncle, Louis Schneider, directed the East Side authorities to hold him. Late Saturday night William returned from a dance and, entering his uncle’s room, took, $300 from the trousers of the sleeping man and then threw the trous- ers into an alley to make it appear that burglars committed the robbery. Early Sunday morning young Schneid- er started for Eas‘ St. Louis with the money, but his uncle telephoned to the East St. Louis police, who arrested him. About $200 was found on his person and he weepingly admitted stealing the money. I$ STRICKEN BLIND IN PULPIT Bloodvessel Snaps When Minister Is Preaching.

Moore Jr. —_—s—wn SS USED ASSUMED NAMES Wedded as “Pat Moran,” He Told Wife Marriage Wasn’t Legal. The Christmas marriage of a candy store girl and a rich youth was undone Monday, when Mrs. Eura Wallis Moore, 19 years old, was divorced from William G. Moore Jr., of Dr. William G. Moore of 8 Vandeventer place. under assumed son They were married, names, in East St. Louis two days aft- er Christmas, 1907. The wedding fol- lowed a frolic which began in an ac- the Olive street store where the young woman, her dark hair and eyes, set off by a trim white waist, weighed out sweets for holiday buyers. By an agreement of the lawyers in the case, the young woman wil! re- ceive $750 gross alimony. This arrange- ment took the question of a financial settlement out of the hands of Judge Taylor, who granted the decree. Judge Rule, sitting for Judge Taylor, deferred the case a few days ago, re- fusing to grant the divorce until the identity of the parties to the suit was made ‘clear. A. R. Taylor, attorney for Moore, admitted Monday that the lat- ter was the son of the wealthy Vande- venter place physician. Lost Her Position, The young plaintiff, a brunette, was the principal witness Monday. She con- trolled her feelings during her recital until she told how, last Thursday, the day before Christmas, she lost her can- dy counter posit This was due, she said, to ‘the demands on her time made by the divorce suit. . “I was working in a candy ee, on Olive street when I became acquainted with Mr. Moore,"’ she testified. ‘We first met in the store. We decided to be married, but he said it would be best to go outside St. Louis, and to use assumed names, because he didn’t want to have it known for a while. “We went to East St. Louis Dec. 27, 1907, and he gave his name as Pat Moran and mine as Mary E. James. We were married by Justice of the Peace Collins, and then we came back to St. Louis and went to our homes. “We met now and then, and about a week later he went to my home at 3315 South Seventh street, and we told my parents of our marriage. He said then than he would fit up a home for me. Said He Couldn't Settle Down. “But he didn’t do anything toward getting a home, and when I saw him soon after that, he told me he didn’t think we were legally married, and did not seem disposed, to do anything for me. ‘He said he would like to do the right thing, but he just couldn’t settle down. Another time he sent for me to meet him downtown, and had a man with him. He had been drinking, and he insisted that we were not legally married. “I was humiliated in the eyes of my acquaintances by my husband's treat- ment of me, and as a result I was made sick by nervousness and worry.” Mrs. Moore filed her suit Sept. 19 last. Conrad Paeben, her attorney, acted with Attorney Taylor in agreeing on the $750 alimony settlement.

CHICAGO, Dec.:28.—Walter Scott, ot!i- erwise known as. ‘‘Death Valley Scot- ty”’ and “Scotty, the Spender,’’ entered the United States recruiting office to- day and declared his intention of en- listing in the marine service. Scott came into prominence two years ago when he arrived in Chicago on a special train with the announced inten- tion of. ridding himself of part of an unlimited fortune supposed!y located in Death Valley. His $10 tips to beliboys, hic wine suppers and other efforts to establish a reputation as the champion spender of the world occupied columns ir the newspapers for a time. The source of his income was a mat- ter of much speculation, and has, it is said, never been cleared up. “I have set the pace long enough,’’ said Scott today, “and the life does pot agree -with me. I am tired of it and want to lead a quieter life.” If Scott pasees the physical examina- tion set for later in the day he will join another batch of recruits and be sent to New York tomorrow, from which point, after a 10-days’ furlough spent in closing up his affairs, he will be sent to Cuba. 3 WEDDINGS IN 2 FAMILIES MAKE QUEER RELATIONS Svecia) to the Post-Dispatch.

Walter Holt, a fisherman from near Samburg, told of Tid Burton receiving a letter from the night riders telling him to attend a meeting that right or they would hang him. The night riders vaid Holt a visit on the night of May 2), and he recognized Garrett Johnson as ihe leader. Will Rogers, from near Clayton, was introduced toe corroborate the story told by Ehringer, describing the route taken by him in assembling the gang for the Walnut Log raid. He passed Ehringer in the road, going in the direction of Fred Pincon’s home, about 5 o’clock the afternoon before the murder. Attorney-General Caldwell then an- nounced that the State rested. The defense asked that the Court withdraw all of the evidence from the jury pertaining to other raids than the killing of Capt. Ranken, asserting that such evidence was incompetent because they were separate and distinct offenses. Attorney-General Caldwell argued that the evidence was competent.

~ LOSE HIS JOB | UN FEBRUARY | Republican leaders heard Monday that Governor-elect Hadley has decided. to appoint a Republicen successor to Ex- cise Commissioner Mulvihill about Feb. 1. a pale to the same information, Governor-elect has about ten names ‘ates consideration for the _ position, among them Henry W. Kortjohn, well known in South St. Louis Republican circles. A number of Republicans are urging the selection of Circult Attorney Sager, although Mr. Sager insists he does not want the Excise Com:nissimnership. Mr. Hadley will assume office Jan. 12. Reports from Jefferson City say that he has been besieged with applications for offices, particularly the coal oil in- spectorships in the various counties of the State. Many Eager to Serve, ‘In each county there are from five to fifty Republicans who think they would ‘Make excrilent beer inspectors. In the consideration of St. Louis ap- pointments, well-informéd. persons say that the Republican City Committee will be considered simply as an “individual” 80 far as the weight of its indorsement for a candidate for any particular job is concerned. Governor-elect Hadley’s friends are taking unusual interest in the contest for Speaker of the House of Represent- atives. Hadley Men Against Licyd. Personally, Mr. Hadley has refused to assist any candidate. On the other hand, his close advisers have not hesi- tated to express opposition to Repre- sentative Hiram Lloyd of St. Louis. Representative Speer of Osage County, who led the fight for the maximum freight rate bill at the 1905 session of the Legislature and again in 1907, appeats to have the backing of many of the Gov- ernor’s warm. political friends. On the Democratic side the minority honors will probably, go to Representa- tive Cross of Clinton County. Senator McDavid of Green County will be re-elected Speaker pro tem. of the Senate.

Judge Dyer, in the Federal Court, held that it made no difference in Levy's guilt that he was away on the road as a traveling salesman at the time the particular order, named in the charge Against him, was shipped by the firm of Levy & Co., in which he is a partner. Judge Dyer also denied a new trial to Adolph Asher, Levy's partner, and the office manager of Levy & Co. Asher also sought a new trial on a charge of sending an improper card in a mailed letter. That motion was ~enied. A new trial was granted Levy on the latter charge, the Judge ruling that, without more positive evidence of di- rect knowledge on his part, he should not be held a party to the particular transaction involving the mailing of the card. Advertisements Campaign Issue. Levy and Asher were convicted about a month ago. T .eir indictments followed a withering denunciation of their ad- vertising matter during the last guber- natorial campaign in Tennessee. Former Senator Carmack was defeated for Gov- ernor in that campaign and afterwards was shot and Ki:.2d as a result of feel- ing engendered during the campaign. The indictments against Levy and Asher® were based on one shipment of gin, ordered by a postoffice inspector under a fictitious name. ‘The gin bore the label to which such a storm of ob- jection had been raised in Tennessee and in a letter acknowledging the order a card bearing the same picture as the label was mailed to,gthe inspector who made the order. Levy and Asher were tried and con- .victed about a month ago. , Both made motions for new trials: Judge Dyer has had the motions under consideration for some time. He announced Monday that he want- ed to consider the evidence further be- fore passing sentence on the defendants, but that he would sentence both within the next week.

REAL DIRECTOIRE GOWN WITH THE SLIT REACHES ST, LOUIS Onlookers at Grand and Olive Caught Glimpse of Monograms Through Gash. In point of distance the busy corner of Grand avenue and Olive street was far from that “dear Longchamps Sunday , afternoon, but in respect ot style—well, % was all there by reason of the presence there of the really-est truly-est direc- toire gowns ever seen in public west of anywhere. They were not either. And whisper—they were—well—they had that—that is they were cut en V— not at the top, you understand, but at the bottom, on the left side. Two tall and stately women, one a blonde and the other a brunette, wore them, The costume of one was a sym- phony in green and that of the other an opus in purple. Hats, shoes and—well, everything visible indluding that which could be seen from the left side, matched the costumes. And there were monograms on them too—not on the dresses or on the hats, but—yes, there were monograms. It is a busy transfer corner and hun- dreds of men and women crowded about the directoire girl; until they sought refuge in an Olive car and rode west. WELLSTON LINE PASSENGERS NOW PAY AS THEY ENTER The pay-as-you-enter system was par- tially installed on the Wellston division of the United Railways Co. Sunday. Twenty cars, remodeled so that the conductor will get the nickle before the passenger gets any, part of the ride, were put in service. About three weeks will be required to convert the other 40 cars of this line to the pay-first style. Capt. McCulloch, general manager of the railways company, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Monday that he had not decided which line will next get the pay-as-you-enter Cars.

LIQUOR DEALERS WHOSE GIN’ LABELS WERE CAMPAIGN ISSUE

WOMAN CHAZE! BY AEA STUDY YPNOTISM Her devotion to the study of hyp- notism and Christian * Science caused Miss Ella Beatty to lose her place in the home of C. E. 4cClure, a relative by marriage. She is now in the obser- vation ward of the City Hospital, where she at first puzzled physicians by re- busing to tell anything about herself, Supt. Kirchener Monday declared her insane. McClure, who is St. Louis agent for the Lake Shore & Lehigh Valley freight line, with an office in the Pierce Build- ing, said Monday: ‘“‘Miss Beatty lived eight months in my home, 4267 Lucky street. She left be- cause I did not think her studies of occult and psychic subjects helped her in caring for my children. In a Sanitarium for a Time, ‘‘Miss Beatty was a cousin of my late wife. I sent for her to come here from Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho, because I need- ed someone to keep house and look after my children. “Since she left, last September, she returned but ohce, and then only to get some clothes. When she first left, I arranged for her to stay at the Baptist Sanitarium, but she soon left there, and has since lived in different places. I offered to send her to her relatives in Minnesota, but she preferred to remain in St. Louis.”’ Mrs. George C. Bogue of 5402 Cabanne avenue, at whose home Miss Beatty lived for a time, said Monuay: “Miss Beatty was peculiar at times, but she had a remarkably sweet dispo- sition. I knew of her studies of hyp- notism, but never talked with her much about them. She also thought herself a Christian Scientist, but her concep- tion of Christian Science seemed to me a’ very pecullar one Taken to City Hbspital. “When I last saw her, about three weeks ago, she told me she was living on Maple avenue, just west of Hamil- ton, and was working as a seamstress. She was very skillful with her needle.” Miss Beatty was taken to the City Hospital last Friday from the Gospel Rest Room, 708 Washington avenue, at the request of the Rest Room ma- tron. She declined_to answer ques- tions, and her identity’ was learned from a letter found in her possession, and addressed to her at the McClure home.

SHOT IN HEAD IN DALAROMA; SENT HERE AND DIES Joseph Bondsada, 926 Biddle street, shot through the head during a cele- bration of Christmas in a construction camp at Soper, Ok., died Monday at the Jefferson Hospital, Jefferson and Gamble sti'eet, from the effects of the bullet wound and of the 400-mile jour- ney to St. Louis without medical at- tention. Though @angerousiy wounded Bond- sada did not lose consciousness until Sunday evening, when placed on the operating table at the hospital. The 7% men employed at the camp did not work Christmas day. Liquor which had been taken to the’camp the previous day was drunk freely by nearly all the men. By night many were intoxicated and quarrels were frequent. During one of the fights, in which probably ten men participated, Sondsada wag shot. The men who accompanied Bondsada to St. Louis are being held by the po- lice pending an investigation of the shooting by the Oklahoma authorities.

KANSAS CITY, "Mo.. Dec. 8.—Alfred D. Eddy, the general Western attorney of the Standard Oil Co., is in Kansas City in conference with Frank sca andl man, who represents the company in Kansas City. “This is the first time we have ever been ousted from a_State,’’ Mr. Eddy said. ‘Tite Waters-Pierce company, in which the Standard Oil Co. is interested, was ousted from Texas once, but the campany was reorganized and admitted. This is the first time that any Govern- ment in the world ever ordered a Stand- ard Oll Co. to get out and said our goods were contraband. “Consequently we are not prepared for the next move. I suppose it will be an application for a rehearing in the State Supreme Court. We may go to the United States Supreme Court if there is a Federal question involved, or we may go into the Federal Court in connection with some future action in the enforcement of this ouster.

Aids Nature The great success of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Die- covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery’’ supplies Nature with body-build- ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con- densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering i} obstinate coughs. The ‘‘Discovery’’ re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health. if your dealer offers something ‘‘jast az geod,** it fe prebably better FOR HIM---it pays better. Bet you are thinking of the cure not the profit, so there’s nothing ‘‘jast as good’’ for you.

A GREAT CHRISTMAS SERVICE. At the Christmas dinner given at the Coliseum by the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fund Associa- tion 10,000 persons were made happy by a great Teast and a tree full of gifts. While this was in _ Progress, 1500 men, homeless, and forgotten by the world, were feasted downtown, each one receiving a package of tobacco and a corncob Pipe at the conclusion of the meal. The cost of ‘this enterprise of good will was about $6500, con- tributed by readers of the Post-Dispatch. The most noticeable feature of this occasion Was the spirit of service and the absence of condescension. Men and women from the various ‘churches and societies of humane work, gave their time and strength in the spirit and manner of fellowship. It was a true Christmas frolic, one long to be remembered, not only by those for whom it was designed, but by those who served. Indeed, it may be doubted if the latter did .10t get the greater happiness out of it. They left their own homes and family celebrations to give themselves for the day to those whom fortune ‘Nias neglected. If there is happiness in promot- ing and witnessing the happiness of others, theirs Was assuredly a happy Christmas. _ “Notwithstanding the great crowds, no accident ‘@ceurred. The organization of work was so per- fected by experience and generous purpose that ‘nothing went awry. The credit for this really great ‘work of humanity belongs to the readers of the Post-Dispatch who contributed the money and to the Iddies and gentlemen who, for weeks, gave their time to preparing the celebration, and on Christmas Day were on hand in force to take cate of the guests. —_—_ i he _— HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR ASPHALT. _ At this season of the year it is ungracious to utter a discordant note when Peace broods in oe where War’s wrinkled front has been much tn evidence, but let us not forget that, trouble- ‘~.8ome as Mr. Castro of Venezuela undoubtedly was, he was the only American President who ever tamed a trust. Some people hrve said that - if he had dealt more kindly with the Asphalt _ Trust he would have had more favor at Wash- - ington. Be that as it may, Mr. Gomez, who takes _ his place, has announced a purpose to settle a!l _ American claims at once, and asphalt stock is looking up. _.

8 ¢ OPERA WITHOUT MELODY. _ + It is said of Richard Strauss’ new opera, ‘‘Elec- tra,” which will soon receive its first production “On any stage in Dresden, that “there is not a single passage which might be regarded as mel- Opus or in the nature of an air.” : announcement will probably be welcomed trium t applause by the advocates of later of “drama music” which decrees in an operatic score must be one as out of date and inartistic. [t is oubtful, however, if the general public will be mtirely conten® with avowedly unmelodious era.

POST-DISPATCH| * IS THERE A TURKEY TRUST? Quite as important as the renewal of the Fed- eral prosecution of the Beef Trust at this time would be a'few vigorous State investigations of the Turkey Trust. The States can perform this task without difficulty. It must be that the facts are easily accessable, and, with the public once in | possession of them, it would not take long fo find a remedy. “If everything had increased ih price during the last 15 or 20 years as turkeys have done in the retail markets the wealth of this country would be fabulous. Nearly all investigations into the high cost of living end in unimportant discoveries and rec- ommendations. -Retailers blame the middlemen and the middlemen blame eombinations higher up, most of which have no difficulty in produc- ing figures that seem to prove that they are not at fault. In the case of turkeys it should be possible for an tnquirer to get at the exact facts, and it is probable that the truth in this case ‘would throw a flood of light upon practices which are grinding the faces of the American poor as they have never been ground before. , Why should turkeys sell for two or three times as much today as they did a decade or two ago? Who receives the’ money? By what combina- tion is this extortion practiced? What part do the .cold storage houses play in the conspiracy? To what extent is the holiday spirit taken ad- vantage of? Has the supply kept pace with the increase of population, and, if not, why not? The probability is that a searching investiga- tion of this one food problem would reveal ‘the true answer as to all the other questions involved in the increased cost of living so far as food products are concerned. If turkeys can be cor- nered and held at exorbitant prices every other article of food can be monopolized in the same fashion. ill a SS NO EXCUSE FOR MURDER. In one form or another in murder cases in- volving the so-called unwritten law, the defense is usually permitted to justify murder. No at- tempt is made to excuse other crimes: Men charged with burglary or arson deny their guilt. They do not confess it-and then seek to prove that it was commendable. Under the law the deliberate and premedi- tated killing of a human being is murder. The law recognizes ho excuses. Good or bad, the victim is entitled to live, and the man who kills him in cold blood is a murderer. The law recognizes nothing except self-defense, and under its his- toric interpretation even that cannot be pleaded, except when the peril is real and imminent. In the Hains case, now on trial in New York, the defense has sought to justify the crime as well as to deny the active participation in it of the present defendant. The judge, however, has had views of his own on the subject, and Satur- day, in a few words, he made it clear that neither the dead man nor the woman whom he is said to have beguiled are to be tried in this proceecd- ing. The only question before him is the guilt or innecence af Thornton Hains, and no evidence as to his own or his brother’s grievance is to be presented. ; If courts generally would adhere to this ruling they would dignify the written law, and make short work of the barbarism that masquerades under cover of the unwritten law. O_++49— BEING GOOD FOR A CENT A DAY. An Iowa philanthropist has started a plan to save the boys of that Commonwealth by giving them $1 with which to start a bank account, and adding to that sum one cent a day for three years if the boys«will take and keep a pledge to abstain from using intoxicants, tobacco, pro- fane language and slang. The object of the philanthropist in putting the ban on slang is not exactly apparent, and it will be difficult to draw the line on words to be ta- booed. What is slang one day is correct English the next. The colloquialisms of one generation may be the classics of the succeeding. What would have happened to George Ade if he had joined the Iowa philanthropist’s band? He would probably be working hard at some un- pleasant occupation for,a small salary, instead of living on Basy street. == i i GERTIE MILLAR DISCOVERS AMERICA.

Don't Be Driftwood, Advises This Writer for the Post-Dispatch, ¥ “ BY JOHN K. LE BARON common course of life lacks in individualism. " Too many men are like driftwood—merely afloat. Their destination is determined by the tide. tt is the man of strong individuality who looms upon the horizon of events. - ‘Buch @ Man was Lycurgus. uch a man was Constantine. we have had in every era of the ciiadte history. “Many of us,” says Lubbock, “walk through he world like ghosts, as if we were in it, but not of it.” wg hee of little consequence to the man who never rises above the low- level of affairs. a wide margin between living and existing. In order to escape the dread monotony of a mere existence it becomes nec-

Many seem to be content with the protoplastic level. They surge along the lines of least restance like an election-night crowd on Broadway. They are indefinite and indifferent. Such men come and go and leave no trace behind. “Surely,” says Ingersoll, “it is worth something to feel that the census of the universe would be incomplete without counting you.”’ History may not record his name, but every man can be a unit of more than average importance if he so elects. It was Walt Whitman who idealized personal independence. It was his dream “to confront with your personality all the other personali- ties of the earth.’’ The danger signal of individualism is conceit. In fact, conceit is the dagger with which many a man has slain himself. Bgotism should be no part of our individuality. Tt is only small heads that are turned by trifies. Matthew Arnold fefers to men who are “bounded by themselves.”’ Such men are not worth while. Lather was a man of strong individuality. So, in a far less laudable way, was Calvin. Humboldt broke away from his luxurious environment to endure hardship, face danger and achieve. He revolted against being one of the indolent majority Hé is a magnificent fllustration of what individuality can accomplish, even in the face of affluence. The modern trend is against the desirable development of individuality. Be great enough to be modest. Everything tends to combination, to the sdiiiciathatahiinat of the individual. ‘The centralization of eapital tends to absorb everything to the discredit of the unit.

He plunged into a career of gaiety, becoming madly in- fatuated with a famous Mainz beauty. Dazzled by myriad new pleasures he forgot poor, trustful Anna. Week after week he delayed returning to his na- tive village. Meanwhile, Anna waited vainly throughout the long, dreary northern win- ter for a word from her absent lover. Alternately praying for his safety and weeping over his faithiessness, the unhappy girl pined away. In the early springtime she died of a broken heart. Roberto’s fortune by this time was all gone, squandered in riotous living. In de- spair the youth awoke at last te qa memory of his old love for Anna.

MARRIED MEDITATIONS.

OME men become so used to hav- S ing their wives disbelieve them that they look hangdog and guilty even when they are télling the truth. Most of the Foxy Ferdies of your ac- quaintance only think that they are getting away with it. But their wives know, or else they have a pretty good guess! Yes, Alcwynette, we consider it the duty of a husband to remove his wife's snoes when she comes home from a hard day’s shopping. Just you tell him that you saw this offhand pronouncement in the paper and then let us know what he says. Once we knew a wife who couldn’t get to sleep until her husband had read “Thanatopsis’’ to her. So he read it to her every night. (P. 8.—Then he’d go difference. ) Why is it that certain wives persist in tipping their husbands off that this or that woman of their mutual acquaintance isn’t exactly what she should bef Some wives are 80 suspicious that when théir husbands apply a little toilet water to their faces after shaving on lodge night they think it's mighty queer, to say the least. Unless you were born with the pa- tience of a pack burro this is the season to get balky when your wife suggests that you meet her somewhere in the shopping district at, say 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Launcelot, besides being 4 four-flush, possessed about as much loyalty as a wart-hog. And yet he’s the boy that’s most commonly cast up to husbands by ‘temperamental’ spouses. In Silesia there is said to be an aged couple who have been married more nailed her in the act of using his pet razor for a pet chiropodistic purpose.

CULLEN. she “wouldn't be jealous of the best man that ever lived,’’ just take a closer peek and you'll observe that she has green eyes. “I'd just like to see the man that could pull the wool over MY eyes, that’s all,”’ she says, cock-surely, just like that. And the room in which she says it is yYonly 12 feet square and the man is sitting there reading the paper all the time. There never yet was a man with so homely a mouth that his wife did not consider, after he’d shaved off his mus- tache for the first time since their mar- riage, that he resembled Julius Caesar or Napoleon Bonaparte. Even a husband with granulated eye- lids or a roll of fat on the back of his neck can be loved by a woman until she begins to read the novels of discon- tent written by women who themselves have never been able to snag any kind of a husband. Ever notice how, when a married woman develops into a pretty good kind of a poker player in a woman’s after- noon game of draw, she seems to lose her formmer knack of getting the swell! eats on the dinner table? A peevish person herself, Mrs. Thomas Carlyle nevertheless stood for the grumblings and rumblings of her dys- peptic Scotch husband for nearly half a century. If you want to hear some original and hurried remarks about Mrs. Car- lyle show this to your wife. Paul Bourget recently wrote, and seemed to prove it, that the greatest men in history have been those who loved many women. But you've a cor- pulent chance of getting your wife to take any stock in that. Recently we met at a party a man in whom the women took no interest at all until the word was passed around that he was divorced before. he'd reached his nineteenth year. Then they all took a lively interest in him.

MOLASSES IN WINTER. S SLOW as molasses in winter,’’ Is a simile commonly used. But consider this, is it not likely The poor stuff is some- what abused? Why not try to warm up the molasses?

Those caught in the Baltic and North Seas are the larger, coarse variety, but the best come from Gorgona, a small Is- iand off Italy. At Leghorn the popula- tion (those not busy shipping hats), are engaged in the anchovy fisheries. The curing of the fish takes place in brine, and oil is seldom added. The essence is a spicy addition to soups, gravies, ete., and comes bottled, iike catsup— which, by the way, it resembies in color. It is not expensive, as a small bottle will last a long time.

aN [ Hugh McIntosh, i i Will Make Every Effort to Draw the Big Fighter in - Ring. a

UGH McINTOSH says that on Jan. o NEW YORK, Dec. 28. 2 he will leave for the United States by way of England and offer a purse of $50,000 in an endeavor to induce Jim Jeffries to come across tiie seas and meet Jack Johnson. Indeed, it is not thought that McIntosh would stop short of guaranteeing, if neces- gary, $50,000 to the winner of such a battle, with a loser’s end of $25,000. | Such figures might seem fabulous, |. :t for the fact that official returns show st the actual receipts from the Burns- 7. s Joh=son fight were a trifle in excess of | $150,000.

John- “gon himself will take no part in. the _ ** ‘negotiations. He said today he was not 3 jJooking for any tnpuble, and wasn't — any challenges. Up to date Bill Squires is the ozxly man out with a defi to the negro. The champion says he will take him on for $10,000 a side, but as Squires has thrice been trimmed by Burns, it is not likely that Bill will be able to find a backer, nor that any sporting club or promoter would consider such a venture for them a good commercial speculation. It the match is made it will have to be arranged for soon, as in February John- son will sail for London, where he ex- pects to fight Sam Langford on Derby day before the National Sporting Club: Johnson is said to be in perfect con- dition and to show no marks of the battle with Burns. Whfle his end of the purse for defeating the champion was small in comparison with the amount received by Burns, Johnson now is enabled to pick up ’a considerapbie sum of easy money,on the vaudeville stage. He has been engaged by a Syd- ney music hall for five weeks for an act consisting of bag punching and the methods employed by him in training. For this work he wili receive $1750 per week,

When the lat- ter was made there were no more worlds for him to conquer. He had exhausted both the ring and the stage, and his re- tirement was good business sense. He had accumulated a fortune and invested it in a profitable farm near Los Angeles. About a year ago he opened a cafe in Los Angeles, which is also prosper+ ous, though Jeffries continued to give more attention to his farm than he did to his saloon. He has acted as referee in practically all the important fights in.Los Angeles, receiving large fees, and has always kept himself in the best of condition. Men who have seen him re- cently say he looks'as well as he did in the days when he was undoubted cham- pion and would bé favorite should he, six months from now, step into the

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 28.+Pres- sure is being brought on Billy Delaney, maker of champions, to consent to’ hav- ing his big protege, Al Kaufmann, meet Johnson in the event, generally antici- pated that Kaufmann succeeds in win- ning his battle with Jim Barry, to be fought next Wednesday at Jeffries’ pa- vilion. Pps, Barry has stated that if he wins he will fight Johnson, but. Delaney declares in the most positive terms that Kauf- mann will never fight a negro as long as he is his manager. Inasmuch as Bar- ry has already been knocked out by Sam Langford, it is felt tnat he would stand little chance with Johnson, while Kauf- mann might possibly give the black wonder an argument. “ Even Jeffries, who advised Burns, Papke' and Ketchel to draw the color line, is joining in the argument to per- suade Delaney to send Kaufmann in against the negro world’s champion. “It is all right to draw the color line when the champion was a white man,” says Jeffries, “but now it’s too late. The greatest honor in pugilism belongs to a black man, and there can be no color line any more. When he put on the championship belt he lost his*eolor and some white man must go in and take it away from him.” TOZER CHAMPION IN HAUSER RED-BALL GAMES R.

vr" vw Prospective Champions in Heavyweight Class Announce They’ll Not Meet Black > Fighters.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Since Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight. stopped Tommy Burns, and Sam Lang- ford put Jim Flynn away in one round, there have been more announcements from white pugilistg that they will draw the color line. The latest fighters to declare that they will never fight a col- ored man are Al Kaufmann, the Cali- fornia heavyweight, and Stanley Ketch- el, the middleweight champion. Kauf- mann was offered a match with John- son in the event of him beating Jim Barry on Wednesday night, but he promptly turned down the offer. Ketchel was also asked to meet Langford, but he got out of it easily by stating that his manager would not allow him to fight a colored man. ‘Gus Ruhlin, the retired heavyweight pugilist, is another one of the big fel- lows who is willing to re-enter the ring and fight Jack Johnson, the present champion, for the heavyweight title. Gus is still of the opinion that he can g0 so:ne, and if Johnson will consent to meet him he will lose no time in sign- ing for a battle. In the event of the big black refusing to take him on, Ruh- lin says he will fight Tom Sharkey. Tommy Burns, the ex-heavyweight champion, who has been fighting for eight years, has pulled down $159,851.25 in purses from his battles. This does not include the side bets that he has won on his fights, which probably in- crease his winnings to nearly $200,000. During his career in the ring Burns has taken part in 53 fights. For his first victory he received $1.25 for knocking out Fred Thornton in five rounds at Detroit. Billy Papke, the ex-middleweight champion, has made up with his former manager, Tom Jones, again and has let Sam Berger go. Papke has changed his mind about retiring from the ring, and has authorized Jones to go ahead and arrange matches for him. Jones will try to induce Hugo Kelly, the Ital- jan middleweight of Chicago, to meet Papke in another 2%-round bout before the Jeffries A. C. of Los Angeles next month,

BY JOHN POLLOCK. Al Kaufmann and Jim Barry have finished up their real hard training for their 45-round battle at the Jeffries A. C. of Los Angeles Wednesday night. There has been little betting so far on the result, but what wagers have been made was done with Kaufmann as the favorite at odds of 10 to 8. Barry says he will fight Johnson if he is successful in beating Kaufmann. A match was arranged in Philadel- phia last night between Young Lough- rey and “Unk’’ Russell, the game Qua- ker City fighters. They will meet in a 15-round bout before the Olympic A. C. of Essington, Pa., on Wednesday night. Loughrey was to have fought Leach Cross on that night, but as he could not make the required weight, 135 pounds, the match fell through and Russell was substituted to meet Lough- rey. ; Harry Mansfield, the English middle- weight, who gave Tommy Sullivan, the sturdy middleweight of Lawrence, Mass., such a hard six-round battle at the National A. C. of Philadelphia on Christmas afternoon, has been secured to meet Jack Blackburn, the colored lightweight of Philadelphia, for six rounds at the next show of the Douglas A. C. of the Quaker City tomorrdw night. Mansfield will have to fight hard to beat Blackburn. The 10-round bout between . Tommy Murphy and Frankie Madden, which was to have taken place at the National A. C. of this city on New Year's night, has been postponed for a week on ac- count of an injury to Murphy’s hand, which he received in his recent battle with Charley Griffin at the Armory A. A. of Boston. Philadelphia Jack O’B-en, who has cabled a challenge to Australia offering to fight ‘Jack Johnson for the heavy- weight championship title, was practk cally matched last night to meet Al Kubiak, the Michigan heavyweight, for six rounds at the National Philadelphia on Saturday evening, Jan. 9. O’Brien has seen Kubiak perform in all of his fights and is of the opinion that he can beat him.

OLD JOE CHOYNSKI LONBS FOR ANOTHER RING BATTLE Joe Choynski; who some years ago was considered one of the cleverest big fighters in the ring, and who has been in retirement for some years, has de- cided to return to the ring at the age of #@ years and try to beat some of the present day crop of heavy weights. Choynski is training daily in Chicago in a gymnasium, boxing all comers, ac- cording to local men who have recently visited the Windy City. He is said to be as fast and clever with the gloves as ever. There is no doubt but that Choyn- ski even now can outpoint quite a num- ber of men fighting, and as he declares that he needs the money, he intends to try his hand at the game again. Joe was tinlucky in being at his best when fighting against such high-class fighters as Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey, and other noted

ing to get a match. —_——

BRESNAHAN IS THREATENED WITH PNEUMONIA ATTACK TOLEDO, O., Dec. 2.—Roger Bresna- han, the new manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, returned recently to his home in this city after a visit to the Missouri metropolis, where he made plans, for next year, and to Little Rock, Ark., where he engaged spring training quarters. Bresnahan caught a severe cold on the trip and upon reaching, here was forced to take immediately to his bed as his physicians state he is threat- ened with an attack of pneumonia. DR.

Chicago Newspaper Praises Bresnahan in His First Act as a Manager.

The Chicago Tribune of yesterday has the following to say regarding Roger Bresnahan, manager of the Cardinals: “By one of his first acts as man- ager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Roger Bresnahan showed a head ana immediately drew the attention of all to the fact he intends to brook no in- terference with his’ management. The former Giant declared off the spring championship series between Cardinals and Browns, which has been an an- nual affair for some seasons, despite considerable opposition from the club owners of other cities. -Fresident Rob- ison of the St. Louis Nati~nals cheer- fully acquiesced, although, according to Bresnahan’s statement and the con- sensus of general information, the 4a.s- continuance of the spring games will cost the club around $15,000. This is a comfortable nest egg with which to start a championship season’s heavy expen- ditures, especially if one is proprietor of a tail-end club. But, apparentiy, Stanley Robison does not expect to be president of a tail-end outfit next sea- son, in which case he can spare the $15,000 until later. It always looked lke shortsighted policy to play these ante- season championship series. They can mean nothing by way .of co™Mparing rival teams. Such games are a test of condition, not of playing strength, for as a rule ball teams in March and April are passing through an experimental stage and may not resemble their own appearance in the fall of the year. By takin; all the zest out of the opening of a baseball season a spring series really gives a club owner no financial profit. He merely obtains, a few days in advariee, coin which wouid become his during the early days of a pennant race anyway. The other clubs in the leagues, which were unable to play spring series, but which were sched- uled to open the regular season th St. Louis, were the real losers. There has been no rule forbidding such events, however, and so long as the club own- ers desired they Were played. Bresna- han’s announcement, therefore, is sure- ly indicative of the ‘act it is intended to give him full power in everything pertaining to the Cardinals next year. Whether or not he justifies this con- fidence, of course, rests upon himself. The making of a baseball manager is more or less of a gamble. Many have tried and failed, although giving far greater promise than others who have tried and succeeded. Some years ago the majority of people did not. believe Fielder Jones had the complex ability necessary to handle a big league ¥ club. A little later there were as fn doubters when Frank Chance was as- signed to the task of acting manager, when Frank Selee was obliged to lay down the reins in midseason on account of ill health. Before that season was over Chance had demonstrated his right to @ permanent berth as manager and every one in the tand since has. taken off his hat to these two Chicago grau- uates from the ranks.

The St. Louis team will be the greatest eleven that ever played in this city, while Eckersall has gathered to- gether a team which on paper looks to be .a wonderful ejeven, Henry Lindsey has decided to play in the game, and worked out on the team yesterday, with Edwin Stanard at the : 7 - other tackle position. These men weigh about 240 pounds each, are star football players, and if the Chicago team makes any gains through this pair they will certainly be playing the game, Francis Cayou, Clarence Kenney, Ed- die Cochems, and, in all probability, big Jack Schneider wil! also be some of the stars on the local team. Every one of the Chicago team that has been | picked by Eckersall is a star. Ecker- sall will play quarterback and as he made the All-American team while at the University of Chicago and was cred- ited with being one of the greatest kick- ers of field goals in the country, his work will be watched with interest by the big crowd that is expected to wit- ness the contest. ge SS ‘ LS ‘ * A ?

BOYS EAGER FOR CROSS- COUNTRY RUN FRIDAY It is expected that the cross-coun- try run next Friday under the auspices of the Catholic Club will be completed by ll a. m. The race will be started at 10 a. m. from the Knights of Columbus Building, at Grand avenue and Olive street. John J. O’Connor said this morning that at jJeast 8) runners will compete. The majority of the athletes are from the Missouri A. C., Central Y. M. C. LA. and C. B. C. The Central Y. M. C. A. will have a number of strong run- ners in the race. It is possible that Frank M. Jackson will compete. Jackson won the M. A. C. 10-mile race three years in succes- dion. The race Friday will be over a course estimated to be about six miles in length. Jackson is at present at Co- lumbia, Mo. It is hardly probable that Joe For- shaw will compete. If Jackson does not start, it will really add interest io the race, as the other runners are well matcher, whereas, if Jaekson enters, it will take the confidence out of a large number of the boys. Gold, silver and Sronze medals will be awarded and also five souvenir bronze medals. HOCKEY TEAMS IN FIRST ’ GAME AT RINK TONIGHT The opening hockey game of the sea- son will be played at the Auditorium Skating Rink, Cook and Channing ave- nues, this evening when the Anditori- ums and St. Louls skating teams meet. Joe Forshaw, the Marathon runner, who was considered one of the best hockey players in the city some years ago, will captain the St Louls Skating Club team, while Clarence Kenney, the for- mer St. Louls University athlete, will lead the Auditorium players. The game, will be started at § o'clock. ENGLISH SPORTING MEN eLAD TOMMY BURNS LOST ——me LONDON, Dec, 2%.—The sporting crit- ies of the London dailies pay the fullest

By NELSON T. GUTELIUS. 2s HAT the new attitude of the ‘ . nt, | American Automobile Association toward racing is going to help its lists of individual membership there is 7 no doubt. Having less attention to pay to racing, more attention can be given to legislation, good roads, touring and the other matters whereby members are’ most benefited. There are evidences now that this is being appreciated, for the mail at the offices of Secretary F. H. Elliott, 437 Fifth avenue, New York, is bringing in an increased number of applications for. individual membership at the new price of $ a year. One of the annual benefits enjoyed by the A. ’ year for this benefit, and bona fide A. A. A. members will be able to travel to New York at show time at a reduced rate of fare.

Dunn's Review says: ‘‘Retail sales have been large, both of holiday goods and staples, but seasons ble dulness is noted in igus and wholesale lines. Fall River mills and some other manufacturing plants closed from Thurs- day night to Monday morning, bnt other shops had too many orders on shand for an extended holiday, and _ inventories promise mitch pregsure for delivery after January 1. Output of iron and steel is steadily increasing, blast furnaces at Gary being added to the active capacity this week. Little change oc- curs in prices, most commodities rising. where any elteration is found. Aside from some compiaints at the South, attributed to the low price of cotton, trade reports -indicate much greater activity than a year ago, while the improvement in sentiment is still more strik- ing, and the recovery in security values was accelerated by purchases’ in anticipation of January dividend investments.’’ qunsizes SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—Local financial conditions are more nearly ‘normal than af any previous time since the fire of April, 1906. That event put everything out of hormony, especially along monetary lines. A few months later, when inscrance losses began to be met on a liberal scale, there was an unusually large accumulation of money, particularly in the commercial banks. During the height of that movement the resources of these banks were considerably swollen. Nu-nerous small inquiries oot up a fair ton- nage of pig iron, and most\of the basic ca- vacity is sold up to the end of next March. Pipe’ works and n.achinery manufacturers have been the best buyers, and more business would he accomplished if prices were lower. Tariff discussion still tends to defer contracts wher- ever delay is permissible. , Southern mills have booked 160,000, tons of new business since No- yember 1. Some American purchases of Mid- dleshoro warrants were made some time ago. but ro actual arrivals of the metal are re- eorded. Work at Gary has begun In earnest some blast furnaces being in fuljJ operation, and ethers will be added next week. In other sectiona there is the same tendency to get ready for big pnsiness, and the entire industry seems imbued with the, idea that a big ton- nage vill bo called for in 1 Mi 7

the narrowness of the price range natural after the protracted holiday and the small and © unimportant character of the trade, the local wheat mar- ket showed considerable nervousness and some quite spirited fluctuations during Monday’s session. As a result of the mod- erate volume of speculation prices were sensitive to small orders on either aide, Keeping within a small distance of last Thursday’s finals, prices opened firm, de- clin partially recovered and during a greater part of the session ranged at slightly lower levels. The close was prectically un- changed for the day, being a shade bigher to a shade lower than Thursday.
