He Sold His Microphone Carbon Transmitter to Big Corporation at Its Own Price arid Concern Made 800 Per Cent Profit. While chatting one evening in the winter of 1892 with Thomas A. Edison in the library of his beautiful home at Llewellyn Park,, New Jersey, , 1 asked him what, in the way of money returns, his invention of the incan descent lamp and his apparatus for so dividing the electric current that it would be available for lighting had meant for him. He looked up at the light, which was glowing over his li brary table, and for a few moments appeared to be making a mental cal culation, and then he said: "That in vention brought me my first real cap ital. I should say, at a rough calcula tion, that it has brought me about three million dollars already." After a pause Mr. Edison went on, with his characteristic smile: "That is, after all, a very small part of the real capital this thing has created. I should say that the, electric light has created about three hundred mil lions of new capital, and I don't think I am far out of the way In saying that it furnishes support to a million persons, estimating the average family of an artisan at Ave persons." "But didnyou get a large capital out of your microphone carbon trans mitter?" I asked. "That was the in vention which made the ! modern per fected telephone possible." Mr. Edison smiled broadly. "I suppose I got paid In large part for that in experience," he said. "I had a good many things to learn about business in those days' "You may remember that the West ern Union Telegraph Company, after the telephone was demonstrated to be a practical invention that was about 1876 planned adding a telephone sys tem to its telegraph lines. To every one it seemed certain that there was to be severe competition between the Western Union and the original tele phone company for the telephonic busi Child Rebuked Little Child Who Administered Rebuke to Famous Man. How Young Mary Van Buskirk Scold ed Aaron Burr When He Dared to Revile George Wash'ing- . ton In Her Presence. In 1797, alter having served six years in the United States senate. Aaron Burr again became a member of the New York legislature, and thereafter for two years he made fre quent trips between Albany, the state capital, and his home in New York city. These journeys, for the most part, he made on horseback, and for months whenever he arrived in the town of Athens, situated on the west bank of the Hudson some twenty-eight or thirty miles below the capital, he made it an almost ! Invariable rule to visit at the house of the Van Buskirks, which is still standing. This private house was a famous gathering place for prominent men who were on their way to and from Albany and New York, and the entertainment that the owner of the house afforded his dis tinguished friends and acquaintances of the latter days of the eighteenth century and the first years of the nine teenth century is still traditional in Athens, some of whose early citizens became of great influence in the pub lic life of their times. Of the greater politicians who were guests of the Van Buskirks from time to time none received more cordiality than Aaron Burr, and none seemed to be more delighted with the hospitality shown him. In fact, he was a guest so welcome at all times that he need not herald bis-coming; tnere were al ways a room and good cheer waiting for htm, and Mary, the little daughter of the house, eagerly looked forward to his visits. Aaron Burr being a favor ite of hers and she of his- One afternoon in 1798, when Mary was about seven years old, Aaron Burr arrived at the Van Buskirk man sion with the expectation of spending the "night there. In the parlor of the house stood a spinnet, which was spoken of: the countryside around as one of the best musical instruments of the sort to be i found anywhere in America. In the early evening, the final meal of the day over, Aaron Burr sat down at the spinnet and be gan to play upon it, and as he fingered the instrument with the deftness of an expen, nmng tne room wltn a popular melody of the day, little Mary Van Buskirk stood beside her idol, listening intently and watching him admiringly, There had been hung upon the wall right over the spinnet, since Aaron Burr's previous visit, a' picture of SMBJ A I XI. T CJ VJ 1 - I erxecne ness of the country. I .'don't remem ber much of the detail of this threat ened competition, but I do ; know that at the time the transmitting apparatus of the telephone was by no means per fect, so I set to work to make a per fected telephone In this respect, a vital matter for the future. of the In vention. Well, after a good deal of hard work, I got what I was after. There It Is," and Mr. Edison pointed at the receiving end of the telephone which stood on his desk. "With my carbon transmitter ready for a demonstration I went to the of fices of the Western Union; I had pre viously sold that company my stock ticker invention and my quadruple system of telegraphy and quite natur ally, I suppose, I gravitated to It with the transmitter. I saw the manager and one or two other gentlemen, showed them the transmitter, and told them that I was pretty sure that with my apparatus In their possession they would have the bulge on the Bell in strument. I tell you, they were an in terested 'lot of men, and as soon as I gave them a chance they asked for some kind of an option on the in vention and I gave it to them without further ado. Tale of Two Little Story Told of Two Great Commanders. How Oen. Hancock and Gen. Sheridan Watched Over Usher's Coat and Umbrella at Funeral of Edwin Dennison Morgan. j Recently I told how Chester A. Arthur, shortly after becoming presi dent of the United States In 1881, act ed as night watchman in the treasury building for ten minutes, j Today's anecdote is supplemental to; that, in a measure, in that the former incident has some part Jn thi3 one. j In February of 1883 there died Ed win Dennison Morgan, at the age of seventy-two years. He had been a Famous Man George Washington. At first, so in tent was Burr upon his music, that he did not notice the likeness of Wash ington above him, but at j last he glanced up ana saw the engraving. Instantly the music ceased, a scowl flasned over Burr's features, and in an angry tone of voice he exclaimed: "That is the picture of a i damned scoundrel!" He turned to the spinnet to resume his playing, but in that instant little Mary Van Buskirk, her face livid with. childish passion, stood upon; tiptoes, and drawing her little right arm and hand, slapped Aaron Burr as (violently as she could in the face; and as she did so she cried: "You shan't talk that way about General Washington. We all love him here, and he ls a good man, and you are a bad man to call him names." Aaron Burr wheeled angrily upon the child; for an instant he held her in his gaze. Then he arose and went out of the house, and that house knew him no more. My authority for this hitherto un published story? Mr. George J. Thomp son, a great-grandson of 'the little girl who dared to defend the good name of the father of her country against the slurs of Aaron Burr. (Copyright. 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) TALK ON THE TYPEWRITER Alwln West Saya That a Pleasant and Speedy Road to Learning Lies by Its Use. It Is gravely urged by Alwln West that a pleasant and speedy road ,to learning lies by use of the j typewrit ing machine. He contends ' that the, practice of acquiring what a book has to give by a' verbatim copying of it on the typewriter works especially w.ell in the case of ' a book which should be read, and "which yet nas no light some attractiveness to carry , the read er along." The view advanced is that' the exercise on the machine keeps the attention running as from point to point, whereas, in quiet reading, one might vaguely survey the page. The suggestion seems novel, but is really not new. The principle of it is basic in primary education. A child Is stabbed with the sentence it writes and writes often. That is universally known, and schools everywhere. In some form or other, utilize the fact. But the broad er proposition of 'Mr. West is quito interesting.' It is this: "A; half-hour or an hour spent every day in copy ing books on the typewriter will give one an acquaintance of wide range with the best English writings." Here, at last, we have 'the .short road to learning How to ,be made erudite by machine. "It. was only a little while later that they ' sent for me and made me a proposition to buy my apparatus' out right. They eaid they were , willing to pay me about a hundred thousand dol lars in annual installments covering a rather lengthy period. I thought that was a lot of money, and how nice it would be to count with perfect cer tainty upon an income of several thou sand dollars a year for quite a number of years, and, do you know, I let them have that invention on their own terms?" Mr. Edison permitted himself to in dulge in a near-chuckle. "A few weeks later," he continued, "I heard that the Western Union had sold my improved transmitter to the Bell peo ple for eight hundred thousand dol lars, simply by proving, to the latter that it had the bulge on them. "But I have never regretted the deal I made with the Western Union peo ple, or, rather, the dear they made with me. I gained a lot of experience in that transaction, and it was worth the experience. I have neverlet any body get the better of me since, and I am certain that the experience I got then has made me far more money then I lost through Inexperience when I didn't dicker back and forth' between the Western Union and the Bell peo ple with my transmitter."

He had been the chairman of the Republican national committee in the first three national campaigns participated In by that party, - and again, in 1872, he was made chairman of its national committee. He it was who, following his re-election as gov ernor of New York in 1860, sent more than 223,000 volunteers from New York to the front before he left office in 1SJ3, and for six years after va cating the governor's chair he prep resented his state In the United States senate. So, when his funeral was held in the old brick Presbyterian church on Fifth avenue, in New York, many distinguished men, both in puD lic and business life, were present, though the day was one of the worst of the winter, with the rain falling furiously and the wind blowing vio lently. President Arthur, who in the early part of the Civil war had served on Governor Morgan's staff, was one of his pallbearers, and Capt. Frederick C. Wagner, who, as provost marshal of New York, helped greatly to quell the draft riots in 1863, was one of the ushers. "Along the aisle in which I served," said Captain Wagner, there came a period when every pew was filled ex cept one. Into it I showed two late arrivals, and as it was the pew I in tended to sit in myself I asked them if they would be kind enough to look after my overcoat and umbrella until my official duties were over. As the larger of the two politely responded that they would be pleased to do so, it flashed across my mind that I had seen him somewhere before, and next there came a faint recollection of hav ing met' the smaller men, also, on some previous occasion. But not un til it was almost time for' me to take my seat did it occur to me who they were. The larger one was Gen. Win- field Scott Hancock, whom I had really never seen before, but with whose much-published likeness I had become thoroughly familiar when Hancock had run for president; and his companion was none other than Gen. Phil Sheridan. Neither was in uniform. "To say that I was humiliated at the thought that I had asked those two distinguished generals to keep watch over my overcoat and umbrella is putting it lightly. I determined to -apollglze at the first opportunity, and after th'e funeral services were over I turned to them and said: 'Gentlemen, you must excuse me for having asked you to perform this service for me. I did not at first recognize you.' "Instantly there sprang into Gen eral Sheridan's eye his characteristic twinkle, and a little smile played about hs mouth. 'Well,' he said hearti ly, 'If the president of the United States can serve as night watchman In the treasury department building, ft can't be beneath our dignity to serve as watchmen over the overcoat 1 and umbrella of any, one who has' any part in this funeral.': "And the man who was destined soon' to become the head of our army thus set me at ease, General Hancock smiled in cordial approval." luopyrigrnt. jaw, by E.

"No. Senator Pounder is practising an extempore Address. The cheers jruu near are rurnisned by phpno- grapns ranged ; round the senator's private apartment." i ; Pardonable Ignorance. "Good land!' exclaimed the aston- isnea passenger on the west-bound ex. press train, looking out of the car window. "No, sir," said the conductor; "these are tne uaa Lands." 'The 'Winter. Berry. The rosy winter berry is now in abundance in our markets. There are many attractive ways of serving them. For the plain stewed cranberry, wash them and cut once in half, adding a pint of water to a quart of berries. When about half cooked add two cup fuls of sugar and finish cooking. Spiced cranberries are nice served with game, and are prepared as any fruit for spicing. Wash a quart of the berries and a half cup of water. In a small bag tie a dozen cloves, 12 allspice, two sticks of cinnamon and several blades of mace. Put the bag Into the cranberries and water and stew all together until the fruit is well broken. Remove the spice bag, run the berries through a colander, add two cups of sugar (brown), stir until dis solved and, set away , to get cold. Cranberry Pudding. Pour boiling water on one pint of bread crumbs; melt one tablespbonful of butter and add to the crumbs. Add two well-beat en eggs, one pint of stewed cranber ries and sweeten to taste. Bake in a buttered dish until firm. Serve with an egg sauce, which is made by beat ing one egg until light. Add a half cup of sugar and a cup qf hot milk; flavor with lemon or vanilla. Cranberry and Apple Pie. Peel, core and slice five large cooking apples, put a layer in the bottom- of the pie plate, sprinkle with sugar and put In a layer of cranberries, then more apples and berries until the dish is full. Moisten with water, cover with a rich crust, brush over with the beaten white of an egg. Bake the pie for an hour in a moderate oven. Cranberry Dumplings. Bake a paste of half a pound of chopped suet rubbed into a pound of flour; add a teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of sugar and sufficient water to make paste to roll out. Line a buttered baking dish with it, fill with uncooked cranberries well swreetened, cover wit ha crust, cover with buttered pa per and steam gently for two hours. Cranberry Tart. To one quart of berries add a pint of sugar and a pint of water; simmer gently until soft. Put through a colander and turn out to become cold. Line a pie plate with! puff paste, fill with the cranberries and lay strips of paste across the top,! 'Bake in a hot oven. HAT ever the weather may be,i says he What ever the weather may be,: It's the. songs ye sing, and the smiles ye. wear. That's a makin the sun shine, every where. Ways of Serving Game. A prairie chicken is especially good roasted with a dusting of sage besides the salt and pepper. Ducks are sometimes stuffed with apples pared and cored and cut In quarters. Others like three smalt onions 'used for stuffing. Neither of these are to be served with the ducks, but are removed before serving. An other favorite stuffing is a bunch of; celery. Bake 20 minutes in a very hot oven, basting, every five minutes with the fat in the pan. Remove the string and skewers before taking to the table. Serve with orange or olive sauce.' Currant jelly should accom pany a duck course. Tough ducks are steamed an hour and then braised. JTo, braise, try out two slices of fat salt pork, remove the scraps and add to the fat five slices of -carrot cut (in cubes, one-half of a sliced onion, two sprigs of parsley, one bay leaf, then cook ten minutes; add two tablespoonfuls of butter, and fry the duck, turning often until the surface is well browned. Place on a trivet in a pan, pour over the fat and add two cups of boiling water or soup or stock. Coyer and bake in slow oven until tender, basting often and adding more water if needed. i To broil a quail, allow ten minutes for cooking. Serve on slices of lemon. Currant Jelly should accompany this course. Larded Grouse. Clean and, if iough, remove the skin covering the breast.! Lard the breast with slices of salt pork and insert two lardoons In each leg. Lay on a trivet In a shallow pan. rub wltn salt and melted butter, dredge with flour and surround' with the tfimmings of the fat Bake twen4 ty to thirty minutes In a hot oven, basting three times. Arrange on a platter and pour , around bread saucej sprinkle the bird and sauce with coarse bread crumbs. Garnish with parsley. Bread Sauce.

Remove the onion! add a half teaspoonful of salt, a few grains of cayenne and two table spoonfuls of butter.
