HERB was a great din of
whacking and hammering that
morning. Red worked like a
horse now, that he had com
pany. A sudden thought struck him,
and he went into the house.
"Mattle," said he.
"Well, Will?"
"I see a use for the rest of that nice
big roast of beef I smell in the oven
let's have all these fellers stay to
dinner and give 'em one good feed.
What do you say?"
"Why, I'd like to, Will, but tdon't
know where'll I set them?"
"Couple of boards outside for a. ta
blelet them sit on boxes or something.
Got plates and things enough?'
My, yes! Plenty of such things,
Will."
"Then If it ain't too much trouble for
you we'll let It go."
"NO trouble at all, Will-it will be a
regular picnic."
"Boys, you'll eat with me this day,"
said Bed.
They spread the board table beneath
an old apple tree and cleaned up for
the repast In the kitchen storm shed
with an apologetic "Sorry to trouble
you, Miss Saunders," or such a mat
ter as each went in.
Just as Miss Mattle was withdraw
ing the meat from the oven there came
a knock at the door.
Goodness, gracious!" she exclaimed.
"Who can that be now? Will, will
you see who that is? I can't go."
"Sure!" said Red and went to the
door. There stood two women of that
indefinite period between forty and
sixty, very decently dressed and with
some agitation visible in the way they
fussily adjusted various parts of their
attire.
They started at the sudden spectacle
of 'the huge man who said pleasantly,
How der do, ladles?"
"Why, how do you do?" replied the
taller Instantly and in a voice she bad
never heard before. "I hope yoa're
well, sir," a remark which filled her
with surprise.
"Thanks, I'm able to assume 'the per
pendicular, as you can see," responded
Red, with a handsome smile of wel
come. "How ao you nna yourseirr-
I'm pretty well," said the flustered
lady. "How do you do?"
"Durned if we ain't right back where
we started rrom," mournea nea to
himself. "If it's one of the customs of
this country saying 'how der do' an
hour at a stretch, I pass it up." Aloud
be said: "Coming along fine. How's
your fatner" "(juss me u i aoni
shift the cut a little anyhow," he add
ed mentally.
"Why, he'a very well Indeed!" ex
claimed the lady, with fervor. "How"
She got no further on the query, for
the other woman interrupted in a tone
of scandal. "Mary Ann Demllt, how
can you talk like that? Tour father's
been dead this five year last August!"
The horror of the moment was bro
ken by the appearance of Miss Mattle,
crying hospitably on seeing the visit
ors, "Why, Mary and Faollne, how do
you do?"
The shorter one, Pauline, looked up
and said sharply, "We're well enough,
Mattle." She was weary of the form.
"Come right in," said Miss Mattle.
"You're just In time for dinner.
There was a great protest at this.
They-"hadn't a moment to spare;"
they were "Just going down to the
oorner and had stopped to aay," etc.
"You've got to help me," said Miss
Mattle. "Will here has invitea tne
boys who are working for him to stay
to dinner, and It won't be any more
than Christian for you to neip me
out"
"Ladies," said Bed, "if 70s don't
want to starve a man who's deserving
of better fate take off your fixings
and come oat to dinner. No," he con
tinued to their protests, which be ob
served were growing weaker, "if s no
trouble at an. There's plenty for ev
erybody. Come one. come an. this
house shall fly clean off Its base as
soon as II Now, for heaven's saxe,
laniea. if s all settled come on
Whereat they laughed nervously and
tar off their hats.
It was a Jolly dinner party. The

could get some dinner?"
"Whafs the matter with that?" in
quired Red, pointing to the roast,
which still preserved an air of fallen
greatness. He had liked the look of
the ether instantly.
The stranger looked first at Red and
then at the roast "The only thing 1
can see the matter with that," he an
swered, "is that it is a slice too thick."
"Keno!" cried Red. "You get it

any better than I do, you've probably
strewn fragments of one of the com
mandraents all the way from where
the stage dropped you to this apple
tree.".
"It seems to me that I did make
some remarks that I never learned at
my mother's knee," returned the other,
laughing. "And I'm exceedingly
obliged for the invitation, as there
doesn't seem to be a hotel here, and
I am but a degree south of starva
tion."
"Red or black?' asked the host with
a quick glance at his guest
The other caught the allusion. "I
haven't followed the deal," he replied,
"but I'll chance it on the red."
Somehow he felt Instantly at home
and at ease; it was a quality that Bed
Saunders dispersed wherever he went
"There you are, sir," said Red, for
warding a plate full of juicy meat
"The ladles will supply the decora
tions." "Do you like rice as a vegetable,
sir?" inquired Miss Mattle.
"No, he doesn't" Interrupted Red,
"He likes It as an animal. Never saw
any one who looked less like a veg
etable than our friend." The young
man's laugh rang out above the oth
ers. Poor Miss Mattle was confused. "Iff
too bad of you, Will, to put such a
meaning on my words," she said.
"The strange part of It is," spoke
the young msn, seeing an opportunity
for a joke and to deal courteously with

bis entertainers at the same time "the

"Lettuce?' cried Red. "Mattle,

At which they all laughed again.
"And now." said Red. "I'm Red

"He'a my slater." responded Miss

craft was a necessity for weak na
tures; nevertheless he cared not for
those who used It.
In his part of the west a man would
no more thluk of glvlug a false Im
pression of his financial standing to
alter his position In one's regard than
he would wear corsets. Money was of
small consequence; Its sequelae of less.
Men spoke openly of how much they
made, how they liked the Job, how
their claims were paying. 8uch mat
ters were neutral ground of chance
conversation as the weather is In the
east The rapid and unpredictable
changes of fortune gave a tendency to
make light of one's present condition.
A man would say "I'm busted" with
out any more feeling than be would
say "I have a cold." Now, in Fair
field, that is not likely Janesome in
that respect one of the principal ob
jects in life was to conceal the pov
erty which would persist in sticking
its gaunt' elbows through the cloth of
words spread over it- Red asked
straightforward questions shrewd
ones, too seeing that the other was
one of his own kind and would not re
sent it
Lettis wanted nothing better than a
chance to expand on, the -subject. It
was close to his heart He had been
a subordinate about as long as a proud
and masterful young fellow ought to
be. Now he was quivering to try his
own strength, and, seeing, for his part,
that his host was inspired with a gen
uine Interest and not curiosity, he
gave him all the tafonnatlon in his
power.
"But a plant like that is going to
cost some money, ain't it?' asked Red.
"Too much for me, I'm afraid," re
plied Lettis. "I have $3,000 to put in,
and I suppose I could borrow the rest
but that's saddling the business with
too heavy charges right in the begin
ning. Still, it may not be as bad as I
fancy."
Red drummed on the table, thinking.
"1 wouldn't mind getting into a busi
ness of some kind as long as It was
making things," he said. "I don't

I go along with you when you look up

"Would you?' cried the young fel

hold of it! Could you stand $10,000,
for Instance? Excuse the question, bul
I'm so anxious over this"
"Lord, what's the harm ef asking
facts?' said Red. Then, with a gleam
of genial pride, "Ten thousand wouldn't
break me by a dura sight"
Lettis' boyish face fairly glowed. "It
was my good angel made me stop In
front of your fence," be said. "I saw
you all eating In here, and you looked
so JoUy that I thought I'd stop on the
chance von might be the man I was
looking for. Now 111 go right on and

"Bring on your fence! I'm ready,'
said Lettis.
"Come on, boys!" said Bed, and the
party rose from the table. Later the

"Well, good day, Lettis," said Bed.

Alexander T. Stewart.
OBSrVJ LOVE.
Ftrfirtfytan tht
merchant king.
A.
T. STEWART was not a mer
chant prince, lie was the mer
chant king. For forty years
he reigned with undisputed
title. He was the greatest and most
famous merchant of his time In the en
tire world, lie built up the first really
great retail store and wholesale estab
lishment In America. Ills retail house
was the largest in the world at the
time. Ills name was powerful sbroad,
and throughout the United States it
was a household word, spoken with
awe and wonder. Old men of today re
call the name of A. T. Stewart as an
inspiration to business ambition in
their youth. Men in early middle life
remember that the same name was
more familiar to them than that of any
other business man when they were
small boys,
Mr. Stewart died thirty-one years
ago, leaving no children. His widow
dl$d ten years later. The magnificent
marble mansion In which he lived on
Fifth avenue, New York, has been
razed and replaced by a commercial
structure. Eleven years ago his suc
cessors in the great store on Broad
way assigned, and the 8tewart store
building is now a Wanamaker estab
lishment. Even the body of Stewart
was stolen from its vault In New York,
and there is still a dispute as to wheth
er it ever was recovered. The Stew
art name and business snd fortune all
have disappeared, but his fame lives.
A. T. Stewart was a Scotch-Irish
man, born In Ireland and educated at
Dublin university. He was a classical
scholar, devoted to books in bis early
life and with no idea of entering trade.
When he came to America, at the age
of twenty, in 1823, be became a teacher
in New York. Two years later be re
turned to Ireland to claim a legacy of
about $3,000, and upon the advice of
a friend in New York be bought in
Dublin a stock of laces and other
goods, which he brought back to Amer
ica with him. He opened a small shop,
advertised bis wares and sold the
goods at an enormous profit This suc
cess 'revolutionized Stewart He de
voted bis life fo trade.
At the outset Stewart made up bis
mind as to bis course In business. He
determined to be perfectly honest nev
er to misrepresent bis goods, always
to watch every nook and corner of bis
business and to add more customers
by pleasing those he got It was his
boast In old age that In all bis career
be never permitted a willful misrepre
sentation to be made In his store.

Washington Letter.
Washington, February 29 1908
Rarely has the supreme power of
the Speaker of the House, under
toe Reed rules, been more clearly
demonstrated than it promises to be
when tbe Aldrich financial bill goes
over to the House. There seems to
be little doubt that a very consider
able majority of the House earnest
ly and conscientiously opposestbe
bill. It is probably true, too, that
a considerable majority favors the
Fowler measure, which in theory
and principle Is the antithesis of tho
Aldnch' measure. Despite this
situation,' however, Mr. Cannon
comes over to the Senate at frequent
intervals and assures the author of
the Senate measure that- he need
have no anxiety as he, Cannon, will
"whip the ingurgents into line a nil
make them vote for the Aldrio U
bill."
Another striking instance of tbe
Speaker's autocracy is to be found
in his opposition to Appalachian
and the White Mountain forest re
serves. There are no Republican
votes to speak of in the vicinity of
the proposed Appalachian reserve
and therefore the 8peaker has caus
ed it to be referred to the Judiciary
Committee, with a view to prevent
ing any action whatever. For a
time Mr. Cannon was rather more
favorable to the White Mountain
proposition. He has opposed this
for years, but recently it has been
pointed out to him that it would be
impossible to secuie any Cannon
delegates in New England if be con
tinued his opposition, and he ap
peared temporarily to relent. Now
that it is becoming daily more ab
vious that there will be no Cannon
delegates from New England, any
way,
there is resuscitation of the
Speaker's opposition.- '
Tbs Democists in tbe Senate are
not presenting as forceful an oppo
sition to tbe Aldrich bill ss tbey
might if tbey would only get togeth
er. As matters now stand, Sena-,
tors Bailey and Owen, of Oklahoma,
stand for s bond secured currency,
while s majority of Democratic Sen
ators are opposed to this form of
circulation. Of course were tbe
Democrats to present a united front
thai r opposition would be more ef
fective, especially as the Repsbli
cans are not a unit in its support.
Another radical difference between
Democrats is that regarding bank
reserves, senator jonnson nas in
traduced an amendment which will
bars considerable Democratic sup
port snd will" doubtless be adopted.
providing that national banks munt
retain two thirds of their reserves
in their own vaults but one half of
this fraction may be in the securities
enumerated in tbe Aldrich bill. On
tbs other band, Senator Taliaferro,
of Florida, is violently opposed to
this measure. Numerous Demo
crats are in favor of tbe lielaoo
amendment guaranteeing all deposi
tors in national banks sgsinst loss
which is a policy advocated by Mr.
Bryan, but on tbe other band, Sen
ator Paynter of Kentucky, is earn
estly opposed to this provision and

help, from the Republicans.
. Tbe outcome of tbs Brownsville
Iflrsstigalioa demonstrates to s strik
ing degree the evil resulting from
tbs en&anchiaetoent of tbs negroes.
It is probably a sale assertion tbsi
no Senator who beard, tbe
evidence against tha- negro exd
diss of tbs 25tb. Infantry doubts
the guilt of some members of thai
regiment In connection , with the
sbooUnf ep" of Browne villa. Only
tws members of tbe M ilitary A Cain
Committee, Forakor und Bulkelly,
were willing to vote for the Fora
ker resolution declaring that tlif
evidence showed that the negroes
did not do the shooting. Neverthe
less, wlie it came to saying that
the negroes did do it, five Senators,
all Republicans, were afraid to ex
press their convictions. They were
Foraker, . Bulkeley, Scott, Hemen
way and Du Pont. In the case
Dn Pont, he said he was convinced
that the shots were fired from ri (lea
which had been issued to the 25th
In Ian try and which were in the
bands of negroes, but was not will
ing to say it was the negro troopers
who did the shooting. But al
though a large majority of the com
raittee voted for a resolution Bay in
the negro soldiers did do the shoot
inp, Mr. Foraker iutrodueed a bill
providing tbat the discharged sol
diers shall all be restored to the
ar,my and to their respective rank
and shall receive all back pay. Ol
course the Ohip Senator does not
expect such a bill to pass, but he
hopes to make political capital with
the negroes and incidentally to in
jure Secretary Taft. The only man
who has in anyway profited by tbe
Brownsville investigation, which
has cost thousands of dollars, is
Senator Foraker who has charged
tbe government with a hotel bill of
SO a day for the three months of the
investigation, despite the fact that
all that time he was living at his
own handsome residence in Wash
ington.
Anothor evidence of the demoral
izing effect of negro- Suffrage Of the
Republican party is the violent eft
fort which is being made by Mr
Foraker and others to secure con
testing delegations from the So uth
ern states. It is well known tbat
it only takes a box of cigars and a
few new one dollars bills to get up a
contesting Republican delegation in
any southern state, and yet there is
a possibility that the decision of tbe
next Republican National Conven
lion may be dictated by tbese con
testing delegations, buch a situa
tion is deplorable from any stand
point, although there is satisfaction
of knowing tbat such a course by-
Republicans would unquestionably
insure tbe election ol Mr. Bryan,

recom-nended Kodol. I consented
to try it to please him and I was
better in one day. I now weigh
more than I ever did in my life and
am in better health than for many
years. Kodol did it 1 keep a bo'

that humanity will be benefited.
