HELPED OUT HIGH FINANCIER,
Simple and Effective Cipher Evolved
by Clerk.
When Wall street first caught the
fever for "industrial combinations"
and began the reorganization of every-
thing in sight, one of the votaries of
high finance found himself in Chicago
in extreme need of communicating
with his New York office.
He had almost completed an ar-
rangement for the consolidation of
several western enterprises, but in
order to get the final authority he
needed from New York, he must ex-
plain all he had done by wire to his
partners.
There was no time to write. He
had no cipher code. For a long time
ho tried to think out some way to
send the information so that It would ;
be plain to his partners and meaning- j
less to any one else. His secret was
a valuable one, and onco sent over
the wire might he sold out to his
rivals In Wall street for a large sum.
At last he decided to take the
chances in plain English. According-
1.' he wrote the message and gave it to
Ills assistant to send.
Half an hour later, when the assist-
ant came back, he asked him it lie
had sent It.
"Not just that way," said the clerk.
"1 rewrote it. the first v:orO on a Pos-
tal blank, the second on a Western
Union, and so on. 1 sent half by each
company, and neither half meant any-
thing. Then I Kent a second message
by one line, saying, 'Iliad both mes-
sages together, alternating-iworrts.y"

DVICE TO THE
OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY
Bho Was Told That an Operation W««
Inevitable. How She Escaped It
When a physician tells a woman suf-
fering with ovarian or woflib trouble
that an operation is necessary, the very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming
for ovarian or womb operations.
Mri/Margret Aferkhy
She Blames the Men
I was distinctly shocked to hear a
thoughtful woman say last night, ap-
ropos of the latest Rooseveltian re-
marks on "race suicide." "After all,
the men are to blame. The presi-
dent should address his thoughts and
remarks to American men, who are
really responsible for those sugges-
tions to women, which have made
necessary the president's words."

In the Spring.
Lowndes, Mo., April 10th.—Mrs. H.
C. Harty of this place, says: —
"For years I was in very bad health.
Every spring I would get so low that
1 was unable to do my own work,
seemed to be worse in the spring than
any other tima of the year. I was
very weak and miserable and had
much pain in my back and head,
saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised
last spring and began treatment of
them and they have certainly done me
more good than anything I have ever
used.
"I was all right last spring and felt
better than I have for over ten years
1 am fifty years of age and am strong-
er to-day than I have been for many
years and 1 give Dodd 8 Kidney Pills
credit for the wonderful improve-
ment."
The statement of Mrs. Harty is only
one of a great many where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have proven themselves
to be the very best spring medicine.
They are unsurpassed as a tonic and
are the only medicine used in thou-
sands of families.

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?
H. T. Newcomb of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,718 depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,086 of steam
rsilroad securities, that Insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold $S45,889,038 of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and 74 edu-
cational Institutions depend on $47,-
468,327 invested in similar securities
for a portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold-
ing up to more than a billion and a
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in-
surance policies in the country, ar
many more of fire insurance policies
and an even greater number of do
posltors in banking and trust institu
tions, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

Throughout the region investigated
good deal of tree planting has been
done to meet the requirements of
the Timber Culture act or for protec-
tive purposes. Local benefits have
been gained by this planting, and a
study of the results gives a good basis
for suggestions looking toward still
better results in the future. The spe-
cies most generally tried are those
which grow naturally in the river bot-
toms of the region, together with
some which have been introduced
from Eiirope. They are cottonwood,

white willow and white elm. These
trees have some admirable qualities,

Delicate Boy Now Able to Walk Bare-
footed in Snow.
Gustave Nagel was a very delicate
child and grew to manhood almost a
chronic invalid. His parents had spent
fortunes on medical attention for him.
and he hail consumed barrels of medi-
cine, but all to no effect.
Some years ago he conceived the
Idea that modern man lived too far
from the state in which nature intend-
ed that he should, and he resolved to
return to the habits of his primeval
forefathers and become strong or die
in the attempt.
He discarded all clothes, except
what the law required, ate only raw-
foods and no meat, and bathed only in
water of a natural temperature.
At first of course he suffered severe-
ly, but in a few years he was able to
walk barefooted in the snow with as
little discomfort as the ordinary mor-
tal fiiffers going shoeless on a sandy
beach lu summer.
When he bathes he never dries him-
self, when he sleeps he prefers the
cold, bare ground; he never has his
hair cut short, deeming it a protection
lrom the weather given man, by na-
ture; his food is of fruits, vegetables,
bread and nuts.

of his choice is a new woman or has

drought and temperature,
is free from insect enemies, makes a
rapid growth, and is at the same time
valuable for both protective and com-
mercial uses. Some of the conifers or
evergreens have these characteristics
in a high degree and enough planting
of certain species of pine, spruce and
larch has been done to prove their su-
periority. For future planting in this
section the Bureau will probably rec-
ommend the substitution to a large
extent of cone-bearing trees for some
of the species which have been in
common use.
In the past the timber value of trees
was a secondary consideration. Trees
were planted for their protective
value and for ornament. But by a
proper choice of trees a direct profit
can also be reaped. A species which
meets commercial requirements will,

hot, dry winds from the southwest are
very injurious in summer, while the
crops are maturing; in the long win-
ters the piercing cold winds from the
northwest are a menace to livestock
as well as a source of great discom-
fort. Hence windbreaks along the
south, west and north sides of farms,
buildings and inclosures contribute
largely to the welfare of farm life. It
is of the first importance that the
kinds of trees composing these wind-
breaks should be those which will
most quickly reach the size demanded
to furnish efficieint protection, and
at the same time permanently hold
their ground and perform their office.
In addition, they should yield good
commercial returns. The careful con-

both of them in spelling. To the first

several of em and had to take her
hat and go. To the other girl my
wife gave words like cat. hat. mat and

triumphantly."
"But that wasn't exactly fair, was
It?" the listener inquired.
"It was from my wife's point of
view. You see, the first girl was very
pretty, and the other girl was very
plain."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Since She Went Home.
Since she went—home—
The saddened world has never seem d
sri bright; , , ,
There Is less splendor in the morning s
light.
And duller now the radiant moon-
beams shine.
All Nature's Joys come now to slower
tirth.
And thou hast lost, O tender, mourning
earth.
The glory that was thine!
Since she went—home—
The dragging days seem now so drear
and long;
i A hint of sadness chills the gayest song.
1 A plaintive tone In every sound 1
hear,
Even the sunlight's rays of purest gold.
Like all the world, seems something
dull and cold.
Missing her presence dear.
Since she went—home—
So large a world to lose so very much.
In one small woman's face and voice
and tolieh.
The simple magic of her tender smile!
So lull a world lo have so empty grown,
fc'or one small woman's quiet soul and
lone.
And yet—'twill empty be for sucn a

Slnre she went—home!

Seclusion of the Gardens.
Probably our Aryan forefather of
the Euphrates regions 4,000 years
ago, when be had a house and a dog
(but before the cat was domesticat-
ed), had a garden, says Country Life
in America. Comparative philology
assures us of such things, with the
certainty of astronomy, although the
Aryan has left no scrap of writing,
possibly his Idea of a garden was
merely a fence to keep the cattle out
the vegetables, but the point Is
that when we let everybody see all
our garden, whether they want to or
not, we are running counter to an In-
stinct that is older than the Sanscrit
language—for the idea of protection,
privacy and Inclosure goes back, In
some crude form, at least, to a time
before some of our forefathers went
to India to live and others to Greece
and Italy.

Wipe Your Eyeglasses.
A well known oculist said recently:
"Can't girls be persuaded to take bet-
ter care of their glasses? I have
many college girls coming to me. They
are as fresh as a rose and neat as a
pin, but seven times out of ten their
glasses are in a disgraceful condition.
Vanity alone should make them more
careful," he continued. "Glasses at
best are not becoming and when
clouded and neglected make a bad
matter worse. Of course it is very
bad for the eyes to wear glasses in
Buch a state. Tell them to wash their
glasses each night of their lives in
warm soap and water and dry on an
old soft bit of linen." This Is good
advice and the pity is that it should
be necessary.—Harper's Bazar.

Treatment That Succeeded.
All sufferers from weakness or disor-
ders of the digestive organs will road
with lively interest the story of the com-
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlio Darvoux
from chronio dyspepsia which was
thought to bo incurable.
" To be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience," said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. " For two years X was
critically ill nnd could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time I was
so weak nnd miserable that I could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. X became extremely thin and
had a sallow complexion. I had no ap-
petite aud could not take any food with-
out suffering great distress "
" Did you have a physician?"
" Yes, I took medicine from a dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever."
" How did you get on the track of a
cure?"
"Abook about Dr.Williams'PinkPills
was thrown in our doorway oue day.
My husband pickod it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who bail been
cured by that remedy that ho imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
anil insisted on my taking them."
" Did they help you at once?"
" I began to feel better tho second day
after I started to use tho pills and by the
ttme I had taken the three boxes I was
entirely well. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
can euro even wliou doctors fail, and
they cure thoroughly, for a long time
has passed siuco my restoration to health
and I know it is complete and lasting."
The surest way to make sound diges-
tion is to give strength to the organs con-
cerned. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other rem-
edy yields such radical results.
