FIGURES MADE
Frank Trumbull la perhaps the only one of
the grent railroad rulers of whom it can be sold
literally tbat hla figures were hla fortune— that
la to any by hla marvelous quickness and accu-
racy nt figures ho grew Into the grent railroad
and financial world until he has become a giant
At the ngo of 12 he wus a mathematical “won-
der" in the little town of Pleasant Hill Mo He
had then been through and wbb proficient In all
the branches of mathematics from arithmetic to
and Including trigonometry but was compelled to
quit school because his head was growing faster
than hla body To-day lie is president of a big
railroad Bystem of the west and south of which
ho took chnrge 15 years ago without a cent in
Ills treasury Ills nntural ability In bundling fig-
ures early developed an alertness of mind which
enabled hint to grasp a situation quickly and to act quickly with an unerring
judgment us to tho result
It vas energy supplemented by efilclency that led Mr Trumbull rapidly
up from a clerkship In the freight office of the Missouri Kansas & Texas
raliway at Sednlln Mo whore he received $45 n riionth when he was not
yet 10 When 21 he was chief clerk nt a salary of $175 a month At 23 he
had 170 men under him In tho freight claim and accounting department of
tho Missouri Fnclflc In 14 years ho had mastered every detail In that depart-
Then he did a runnrkafde thing He gave up railroading for five years llo
went Into the tonl business in Colorado 'Here he saw his chance to study
the shipper’s end of the great game lut Ideiitally he was engdged in making
reports on railroads and other properties to New York and London bankers
In 1893 thrro was a bitter fight in Denver over railroad matters Tho courts
gave tho Denver &- Gulf railroad then a part of the Union Pacific a sepa-
rate existence This road became the Colorado & Southern All the fighting
factions were ghen a week to agree on n receiver On the last night of the
week v lion six names were under discussion they agreed on Frank Trumbull
And here begins a story as wonderful as that of Aladdin or any magician vho
ever said “Presto!” When Frank Trumbull took hold of theroad 16 years
ngo It vas a local ore line In Colorado a little more than a thousand miles
long and Its principal assets were "tvo streaks of rust and a right of way”
It was bankrupt and in the hands of a receiver Four months later came the
grent Debs strike of 1S94 But the Colorado & Southern of to-day is nearly
3000 miles long and the reports -of 1908 15 years after show earnings of
$15000000 and Frank Trumbull Is Its president

NEW MINNESOTA GOVERNOR
Adolph O Eberhart a Republican formerly
lieutenant-governor has succeeded to the seat of
governor of Minnesota to act during the unex-
pired term of the late Gov Johnson Although
of different parties the relations between Mr
Eberhart and Gov Johnson were cordial the
chief executive leaving the Btate often in the
hands of Mr Eberhart No changes are antici-
pated In the legislative system of the state Mr
Eberhart now is a resident of St Paul
Mr Eberhart was born in Sweden 38 years
ago but came to Minnesota In 1881 when be was
10 years old He attended the public schools and
was afterward graduated from Gustavus Adol-
phus college at St Peter as a minister of the
gospel
Soon aftetr his graduation however Mr Eber-
hart abandoned church work nnd took up the study of law in the office of
Judge Gray at Mankato his home town He was successful as an attorney
and soon built up a large practice
He was at one time clerk of the United States circuit and district courts
and later was United States commissioner for the district of Minnesota In
1903 he turned bis attention to an elective office and was elected to the state
senate In 1905 he was re-elected In 1906 he was elected lieutenant-governor
and waa re-elected in 190S His majority was almost as high in 1906 as
Johnson’s
Mr Eberhart’s name originally was Olson But there were in Mankato
during his residence there half a dozen or more Adolph Olsons and as a
result many instances of confusion of identity occurred not the least of these
being errors in the delivery of important mall So when the future state
official was married he asked the court to permit him to take the name of
his wife a petition that was granted and since then he has been Adolph O
Eberhart
MAY BECOME CARDINAL
If Mgr Diomede Falconio is chosen for eleva-
tion to the college of cardinals at the January sit-
ting of the consistory at Rome he will but be
following in the footsteps of his illustrious prede-
cessors at Washington Mgr Satolli and Mgr
Martinelli It seems to be recognized at Rome
that those who serve as apostolic delegates to
the United States are in the direct line of suc-
cession and are to be called from their post only
to be the pope’s counselors in directing the policy
of the church throughout the world
As the pope's personal representative in the
United States Mgr Falconio has exercised a
jurisdiction wider than that of any other apos-
tolic delegate and the qualities of high diplo-
macy which- are indispensable at Washington in
the administration of the delegate’s office seem
to be regarded by the Vatican as ample qualification for the discharge of
still more important functions In the church' Not yet 70 years of age a man
of ripe scholarship and profound knowledge of church diplomacy Mgr Fal-
conio once in Rome would be eligible to the headship of the Catholic church
which he has served all his life in the humblest as well as in the most distin-
guished stations
When he succeeded Martinelli at Washington eight years ago Mgr Fal-
conio was welcomed as an American citizen for although he was born and
educated in Italy he came to America as a young man and much of his work
was done on this side of the ocean as an educator at the College of St Bon-
aventure at Albany as a priest in the Italian colony of New York and among
the wild peoples of the Newfoundland coast A Franciscan the present apos-
tolic delegate was at the absolute command of the heads of his order— that
ancient order of bar footed friars' pledged to chastity poverty and obedi-
ence — and he never hesitated to answer the wftrd of command'
In person he is slender rather under than over the middle height with
gray eyes and white hair His address is’ excellent easy simple direct and
he speaks English with a very slight accent

TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH
Mistake Most People Make Is In Wait-
ing for Bad to Come and
Then Coddling It
’ If we' would take as good care of
our good health as we do of our bad
licaltn we wot 'd have more of the
former nnd less of the latter We set
our good health down Ip a draft and
let It get its feet wet we infringe on
its sleep time and gorge it wfih un-
suitable food at lm-gular hours We
load it with nerve-raiking cares and
duties and reply to Its frantic ap-
peals for rest with “You haven't
time” We squeeze it with clothing
we distract its ears with noise and Its
lungs with bad air But we put our
bad health in a quiet room on a soft
couch We robe it in a comfortable
gown we give It pure air at stated
intervals we put ice on Its head and
hot water at its feet we feed it with
food convenient for it We take
away all care and responsibility we
give It a soothing draught to rest it
and we pay a doctor two dollars to
come and leave it a scrap of paper
and say that It will better to-morrow
One might think we preferred bad
health to good health — From an ar-
ticle in Good Health
TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR
Seemed Imminent — Scalp Was Very
Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand-
fuls— Scalp Now Clear and
New Hair Grown by Cuticura
“About two years ago I was troubled
with my head being scaly Shortly
after that I had an attack of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two months when I first no-
ticed the loss of hair my scalp being
Btill scaly I started to use dandruff
cures to no effect whatever I had
actually lost hope of saving any hair
at all I could brush it off my coat
by the handful I was afraid to comb
it But after using two cakes of Cuti-
cura Soap and nearly a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment the change was sur-
prising My scalp Is now clear and
healthy as could be and my bair thick-
er than ever whereas I had my mind
made up to be bald W F Steese 5812

Against Pretenses
Away with all those vain pretenses
of making ourselves happy within our
selves of feasting' on our own
thoughts of being satisfied with tho
consciousness of well-doing and of de-
spising all assistance and all supplies j
from external objects This is the j
voice of pride not of nature — Ilume '
But above all — don’t forget this!

Proper Love for Wife
"When a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his nicest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her
“He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother the polite-
ness he shows other women and the
responsibility he feels toward his sis-
ter “To all of that he should add the
great love he should fed for a wife"
