A. Bostwiclc. He was among the
earliest of those who were associated
with the Standard Oil company, and
who gained large fortunes by reascn
of that association. .

Boatwlck Aa Railroad Man.
Tot Mr. Boatwlck waa at one time eon
klderabijr lntereated In railroad develop
ment. He did not undertake as Mr. Flag
ler and Mr. Rover did to initiate new
railroad enterprlaea. Into Mr. .Koffers' un
dertaking known aa the tide-water rail
road about 140,000.000 of hla own money
was placed. A little more than that waa
put by Mr. Flagler In hla Florida railroad
enterprise. But these two Standard OH
men originated and then perfected the
systems which are Identified by their
names. i
Mr. Boatwlck became much Interested
In a .railroad system which othera earlier
than he tried to develop. Many years ago
capital and railroad enterprise undertook
to construct a railroad line stretching
from the Hudson liver where connection
with tha Erie railroad was to be made
across New England with Boston as the
terminal and Hartford, Conn., aa the
central point. It waa to be a true trunk
line giving Boston direct and Independent
communication with the west through co
operation with tho Erie railroad.
In spite of the fact that early attempts
had been unsuccessful, although the line
was at last built and the Hartford link
waa secured through the control of the
Hartford, Providence and Flshkill rail
road, Mr. Boatwlck ventured to associate
himself with a new undertaking. He had
as a companion In this undetaklng Presi
dent McLeod of the Reading railroad. He,
with Mr. Bostwick, planned a combination
of railroads in New England whereby the
Reading would secure large traffio and
profitable business. In order to do this
it was necessary to gain control of the
line formerly known as the Boston, Hart
ford & Erie Railroad company.- Mr. Boat
wlck became enthusiastic after he had
Ctven consideration to the plan. He was
not to be a constructor of original railroad
lines aa hla Standard OH associates, Flag
ler and Rogers were, but he was sure for
time that he could aid in establishing
a great trunk line stretching from Boston
wostwardly through Hartford to a point
on the Hudson, where connection could
bo made with the Erie. He went so far
aa to establish a new route to Boston
mtllzlng a part of the Long laland rail
road and thence by ferry across Long Is
land Sound to Norwalk, Connecticut to
Banbury and thence to Boston over the
main line. But this effort waa not a suc
cess. It could not command profitable
traffio and It waa abandoned.
Seeking New York Entrance.
It was determined therefore, to seek a
direct entrance to New York by a branch
line but It waa speedily discovered that
It would be Impracticable to? find a New
York terminal. The coat would be pro
hibitive. About that time, Mr. McLeod
was compelled to abandon his plan. He
found himself unable to finance it. The
Now Tork and New Haven took advantage
of the opportunity and gained everything
which McLeod and Bostwick had under
taken to secure. The New Haven secured
control of the main line In which Mr.
Boatwlck waa interested and It was named
the New Tork & New England.
Curiously enough the Identical purpose
which McLeod and Bostwick had In mind
and which the New Haven Railroad com
pany carried out only to be restrained
afterwards by the Department of Justice
has not been warmly approved by gov
ernment authorities so that ultimately the
Kew England lines may be grouped into
a single system, Mr. Bostwick withdrew
from this enterprise with regret. It was
his single railroad venture. He muat have
parted with all the securities he bought
while endeavoring to carry out this plan
because there Is no mention of railroad
aecurltlea In the Inventory of the estate
which came to his widow after his death
and which haa within a day or two been
probated.
Is "Bogus" a Synonym for "Coun
terfeitr Originally the American slang
equivalent of counterfeit or spurious,
"Bogus" slipped into the language
through a corruption of the name of
a certain Borghese, reputed to have
been a corrupt individual who, some
time around 1825, flooded the west
and southwest with vast amounts of
counterfeit bills. Borghese. it is in
teresting to note, turned out his cur
rency so rapidly that he didn't stop
to find out if the banks on which the
bills were drawn were even in exists
ence. As a result, much of his money
was counterfeit in a double sense
it simulated currency and it bore the
name of a fictitious financial institu
tion as well.
The westerners, being rather rapid
in their speech, shortened the Italian
name of Borghese, first to "Borges"
and then to "Bogus," applying the
term to counterfeits of all descrip
tions. The earliest use of the word
as recorded in the New Englanc
Dictionary as occurring in the
rsmesviHe, Ohio, Telegraph, July 6,
1827. Then ,of course, it was spelled
with a capital "B and it was not
until nearly half a century later that
it took its place in the general lan
guage of the country, minus the cap
ital letter which denoted its origin.

Where It Started
"Peelers.
This slang name for policemen
comes from Sir Robert Peel, who
founded the London police fotce.
His men. in derision, were called
-Peelers." The English term "bob
by," universally applied to the Lon
don officers, is a!o derived from
Pee!, being a familiar form of lis
first name.

The Care Madge Gave the Wounded

Romance, in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. KING.
The Turned Stone.
Go out in the spring and turn up a
brick or a stone on the ground and
look under it at the earth. The color
of the earth exposed will be the col
or of the hair of your future hus
band. This is a "project" for girls
and is apparently a-more common su
perstition in the southern states than
in the northern, though it may be
met with in widely separated locali
ties. It is an especial favorite with
the Maryland maidens, according to
the Journal of the American Folk
Lore Society. This superstition is
apparently akin to that of the lover's
hair found in the shoe of the inquir
ing maiden when she hears the first
call of the bird which is the har
binger of spring a superstition al
ready dealt with in this series.
It is from the northern races, evi
dently, that we inherit the supersti
tion of the turned stone; for it. and
similar folk-lore ideas are found
mostly, if not entirely, in the north
ern part of Europe. The Norse myth
ology was an overshadowing one for
that part of the world and in the
British Isles and in northern Ger
many its effect has remained solidly
impressed upon British and Teutonic
folk-lore. The superstition in ques
tion seems to be a survival of the
idea contained in the story of Balder
the Beautiful that shining Norse
god supposed by some authorities to
have represented the spirit of vege
tation which passes part of the year
in the realm of the underworld and in
the spring reanimates the earth.

Take an Interest.
One of the hardest things to do
when you meet misfortune is to keep
your spirits up. .
When you are up against hard
luck it is most important not to be
come downcast.
If you do not admit that you are
a down and outer the world cannot
make you one. . '
As long as you feel that you can
make good, you look and act hope
ful, you have a big chance of suc
cess.
Just merely looking pleasant will
not save you, however.
Some men think a smiling exterior
and a carefree air with ho earnest
effort beyond their good spirts is
all that is necessary. ,
Employers do not want dis
couraged men to work for them,
neither do the want a happy-go-lucky
who has not brains enough to
feel discouragement when there is
something to look serious about.
It is the man with keen sensibili
ties and a keener energy that wins
out.
The time when work slumps the
keen man prepares a little more
thoroughly to do, better on the next
job and when work is plentiful he
gets the cream. He is ready for suc
cess prepared.

Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL,
The gems which preside over mor

perstition is to be observed. The lap
is lazuli, which is the talismanir
gem, is a symbol of faithful love
The man or woman who wears i'
need never fear inconstancy, nor wilJ
they be troubled by jealousy.
The onyx, the natal stone of those
whose birth anniversary this is, was
regarded by the ancients as an em
blem of a happy marriage. This gem
was believed to give a wedded pair
all the material elements necessary
to a prosperous and successful ca
reer. It likewise bestowed upon them
perfect faith and sympathy.
The palest rose will prove a for
tunate color for this day, accord
ing to Oriental legend. To wear it
is believed to make all vision coul

The camelia is today's significant
flower. Those who wear it will be
remarked for their loveliness, ac
cording to an ancient legend.

icview of every thought and action
since I was born, yet I did not dare
to shorten the time, for I knew that
any movement of mine would be
strongly silhouetted against the
moonlight, and dreaded the eyes of
that stealthy figure fleeing through
the grass. The thought brought an
other correlated one how was it
that I. lying on the broad stone had
escaped the notice of the assassin
who had struck down the officer?
I changed my position cautiously
and studied the position of the rock
on which I had gone to sleep after
Ted Cosgrove had left his fishing
post near me at the sound of Bess
Dean's distant laughter. It was as I
thought, the rock broad and level
was in a small depression, and the
ground sloped upward toward the
place where the trooper lay. Wrap
ped in the dark motor blanket as I
was, my figure had blended with the
shadows, so that to all appearances
there had been no person near the
officer save the one who had at
tacked him in so dastardly a fashion.
Only Forest Sounds.
I reasoned that the blow must
have struck just before I wakened.
In fact. I believed that some sudden
ly stifled shout or groan of the
trooper must have been the sound
that awakened me. I could visualize
the assassin creeping upon his vic
tim, striking the blow, then waiting
breathlessly to see if 'there was any
auditor of the sound which must hava
awakened me. And I could pioture
his angry amazement when from
the shadows before him I had raised
myself to a sitting posture and look
ed wildly around me.
I thanked my particular little joss
that he had not forever punctured
my sudden appearance with the pe
riod of a pistol shot. Then I real
ized that a pistol shot was the last
thing the unknown miscreant wish
ed to have ring out in that lonely
place then I knew that I was safer
than I had thought. Suddenly I had
it borne upon me that this midnight
assassin was very sure of his ground,
very certain of his escape, else he
never would have left me unsilenced,
when a short dash across the stones,
a quick thrust of a knife would have
stilled me forever.
Who Is the Man?
I strained my ears to hear sounds
of Dicky, Bess Dean or the Cos
eroves. But only the distant wail of
a hoot owl, thejsplash of the water
below me, disturbed the silence
which to me new was awesome in
stead of restful.
The unknown man had spoken of
the "fool fishing party" as being a
good half mile away." This meant
that a shout would be useless, even if
1 dared risk it. No, whatever ant
the wounded trooper would receive
must come from my efforts alone.
At last to my relieved joy, the hands
of my watch pointed to the minute
I had set myself as the one when I
would dare leave the rock.
I did not dare to stand or to sit
erect. I rolled myself entirely free
of the entangling motor blanket,
fumbled in the pocket of the great
coat which Ted Cosgrove had
brought with him from around the
bend, and which I had used as a pil
low. Was it Dicky's coat?. I prayed
that it was, for if so
A little sob of thankfulness tore
from my- throat as my fingers
touched the small first-aid outfit
which, when we had started from the
shack, I had tucked into one of the
pockets against his laughing protest
at my "fussiness."
I fastened it securely to the upper
portion of my dress, saw that my
flashlight was secure in my pocket,
and then crawled slowly, painfully
to the side of the wounded trooper,
scrutinized his face carefully, and
listened intently, for any sign of life.
He breathed 1 Feebly, it was true,
and his pulse, as I felt it, was faint.
But he was alive, and I bent ail my
energies to stanching the blood
which flowed from a sickening
wound in his head, to applying as ef
fective a bandage as possible and to
straightening his bodv and limbs in
to easier positions. Then I crawled
back for the motor blanket and the
ccat, and tucked them around him
so as to protect him as much as I
could without moving him, some
thing I dared net do.
Still there was no sifn of any ap
proaching footsteps, eithtr friend or
enemy. So I made another creeping
journey, this time around the bend
where I had left Pa Cosgrove and
Fred. There I found what -I was in
search of. a tin pail containing cold
well water, which we had brought
with us.
It was a toilsome journey baclc.
but I finally accomplished it, and
with an extra handkerchief of
Dicky's, which I found in my great
coat pocket, I washed the blood
from the wounded man's fare am!
neck, revealing the features of a lad
r.o older than the Cosgrove twins.
They were features I recognized,
also, or was fairly sure I did. The
pallid face of the young trooper was
the same face which had looked back
ft rur c?r and hjd scrutinized our
fishing poles, ''

Dog Hill Paragrafs
By George Bingham
Slim Fickcns is now a full-fledged
society man, and puts insect powder
115
on his mule and greases his buggy
with vaseline.
The presiding elder will soon visit
the Dog Hill church. Before he
comes the pillars of the church will
have a meeting and strengthen the
floor, as the P. E. is considered a big
man.
Clab Hancock brought to our office
this morning some of the first snow
of the season. 1
Jack and Jill
"Well, here is the piano player 1"
cried Jack exultantly. The truck was
rumbling away when Jill got down
stairs. "Jack dear, the men didn't put it in
the right place!"
"Well, I'm strong enough to put
against that space in the corner."
vBut, honey, I want it somewhere
else. You know modern interior
decoration demands that musical in
struments should .be placed as ar
tistically as flowers!"
Jack grunted, shoving the heavy
instrument.
"If you pushed this you wouldn't
call it a flower," said he, mopping a
perspiring forehead. "Anyway, it's
to listen to, not to smell!"
Jill squinted her eyes after the
manner of a portrait painter.
"No! No! It's not tempermentally
adapted to that space!"
"Where do you want it? On the
ceiling?"
"Don't be cross, dear. Roll it
around a bit. Curves are much more
artistic than square angles."
"Curves? How can you make them
with an upright piano?"
Jill was becoming cross and she
stamped her foot.
"Oh, Jack for weeks I've planned
and planned where to put it. I've
read the woman's page of every pa
per you brought home about arrang
ing the music room. 'A piano should
be placed so that it offers the ele
ment of surprise and graceful har
mony' that's what they said."
"Surprise? If I stuck it this way
and broke my shins against it in the
dark some night I'd be surprised, but
my language wouldn't be graceful
and harmonious.
Jill puckered her pretty brow, and
waved to, a new position.
More perspiration was the reward
for Jack's obedience. He sat down on
tthe floor to study the location and
light a cigarette.
Fine, Jill-girl, except that it cuts
off the window lieht. You couldn't
play anything except 'I'm Afraid to
lio Home in the JJark.
"Jack, you haven't an artistic bone
in your bodyl"
"Well, you have. Your ancestor
Adam sacrificed a rib. That was his
little contribution to the culture of
womankind." s
Jill, twisted a curl the wrong way
until it stood out as straight as a
sore thumb. This helped her to think.
"Honeyboy, don't be discouraged,"
she said. "Push it in front of the
mantel piece, and twist it under this
electrolier. Then you can read the
music and the melodies will go right
into the dining room when we eat."
"But who'll prind it while we are
sitting there? There's no space left
for dancing either."
"Oh, goodness! There I told you
I'd find a nice place for it Push it
into that flat space in the corner,"
and the perfect wife was triumphant.
Jack obeyed indignantly.
"That's where I pushed- it before
you came down."
"Yes, but you did it without plan
ning. The woman's page article
said that art is a combination of in
tellectual labor and soulful adapta
tion of spiritual possibilities."
"Woof." said Jack. "You've done
the soulful stuff and I the intellectual
labor. Well, it's a very nice job,
dear."
And he shoved it flatly into the
comer, he slid to the stool. Then he
started a jazzy roll, agreeing with
himself that art is all right in its
place if one doesn't bark a shin
against it!

How can stinginess best be over
conic in boys and girls?
By telling them, of the needs of
others. Tell them about the chil
dren of Europe and of China who
need food; and suggest that they
save and send their pennies. In
other things than money, teach them
to share. They will soon learn the
joy of giving.
