Manners In Thinness For the average man success fre (neatly depends more upon his man ner and appearance than upon hla knowledge of his trade or business, or, aa one might say, of his profession. A Chicago newspaper has lately been noting some failures and their causes. It cites the case of one man who was a successful salesman in a busi ness house in Chicago, but was un able to get any custom when sent on the road. The general manager of the business went to lunch with hTm one day, to talk over the matter. The man crumbled crackers into his soup until it was thick, and then ate the mixture from the end of his spoon in great mouthfuls. When the meat was served, he shoveled it In with his knife, and bad finished eating and was noisily picking his teeth almost before the manager had begun his meal. In re ply to a question, he told the man ager that he always took his cus tomers out to lunch, and "used every method to win their confidence and friendship." The manager then said: "You couldn't sell me a stick of gum. No man whose personal habits are 60 obtrusively vulgar as yours could have the slightest influence with me. Had I lunched with you before sending you on the road, I would never have dis graced our house by giving it such a representative." These words hurl, says Youth's Companion, but the man profited by them, and to-day is one of the most gentlemanly as well as one of the most successful salesmen on the road. Another case cited is that of a minister whose unrefined manners annoyed his women relatives. They tried to help him, but he re sented their suggestions, and men less able intellectually, but with mora of the graces of refinement in their man ners, were called to the opportunities for service in the pulpits of the large and influential churches. They used to teach manners in the old days. Now there is little formal instruction. II a youth does not learn good manners at home, he has to pick them up when he gets out into the world, or else be handicapped. Great geniuses have commanded respect in spite of boor ishness, but it is never safe for a young man to assume that he is a genius. Political Geography. A new study has been added to the curriculum of certain American col leges. It is anown as political geo graphy and is defined as the study of geography in relation to political and social institutions. To teach economic subjects, as well as otner university branches a knowledge of elementary geography is required. It was found that many students, though primed with Greek and atin, lacked any thing approaching familiarity with this old-fashioned study. Hence the Invention of political urography. The elementary side is taken up and, in connection with this, emphasis is laid upon an explanation of hiw each coun try studied came to be a separate, dis tinct country; upon its political in stiutlons and the geographic influ ences that have affected them, and up on the present political problems of paramount interest in connection with each of the countries studied. The world events of the past two years have greatly assisted in making the course interesting. This year, while the class was studying Great Britain, the Irish question was agitating Brit ish politics; in the study of France, the great question of separation of church and state came up for discus sion; the Interest of the class in Nor way and Sweden was enhanced by the events that have led to the separation of Norway from Sweden; the Balkan nestlon has been at the forefront for a few months past and for two years the great Russo-Japanese war has Bade the study of Russia and Japan of especial interest. The man "who knows it all" and deems himself all-sufficient for all oc casions, and especially for emergen cies, is a familiar figure in all em ployments, public and private. More mem achieve failure by knowing too much and trying to do too many things to which they are not called than by the opposite course. The overdoer, more frequently than the man who keeps below a high stand ard, falls to realize his aims. Dom inated by a deep and abiding sense of his capacity for usefulness and by an equally robust doubt of other men'i qualifications, this inflated personage Is a nuisance at all times and in any avocation. Miss Grace M. Varcoe, who is now In New York, nas crossed the Atlantic 21 times as the agent of an English diamond concern and on each trip she has carried with her gems valued at from $150,000 to 1300.000.

YOUNG WIDOW WILL FIGHT FOR MILLIONS OF HER FATHER-IN-LAW Disposition of Estate of Samuel S. Brown, Pittsburg Magnate, Reveals Scandal. LEFT MUCH MONEY Girl a the, Last Supplanted Wife of Dead Son In the Old Man's Affections Will Was Made m He Lay on His Death Bed. "Better an old man's darling than i young man's slave," runs the old Bong. Probably Martha E. Lewis will con cur, but Mrs. Grace McGoodwin Brown, daughter-in-law of the late Samuel S. Brown, Smoky City mag nate and multi-millionaire, can hard ly be expected to. Idolized and petted by her father-in-law for 15 years, taught to con sider herself his heiress, and intro duced everywhere as his daughter, she finds herself left a paltry $30,000. while her supplanter, Martha E. Lewis, has been given a sum exceed ing $250,000. And a contest In the courts whlcb will enrich lawyers and furnish sensa tions to satisfy the most scandal hungry dame is promised. For Mrs. Brown and all the rela tives of the dead millionaire assert that his latest will, executed on his death bed, was made under undue influence and is unjust and unfair. Worth Over 820,000,000. Samuel S. Brown died last Decem ber. He left an estate scattered all the way between Pittsburg, New York and New Orleans which is conserva tively estimated at $20,000,000. He also left a will which is the bone of contention. Mrs. Brown, young widow of the dead magnate's only son, had been told that she was to be his bene ficiary. A goodly portion of the estate was to have been hers. Yet, when the will was read, she found herself cut off with a paltry batch of brewery bonds, and these to go should 3he remarry. But Miss Lewis, bitter enemy of the millionaire's daughter-in-law, bene fited to the extent of a quarter of a million and more. She had already supplanted the beautiful Kentucky belle as the head of the old man's household before his death. That was the last straw; then came the open breach. It is a strange story how these two young women came into the life of : the millionaire. There were a son j and a daughter whom the old man .r - &. ays? time brow mo JtMEwCwar 79 GMCGOMWlBWGtflSS Idolized. When they grew up noth ing was too good for them. Inception of Romance. Fifteen years ago William Brown, the millionaire's only son, was sent to Kentucky to superintend the build ing of a railroad in which his father was interested. There he met a blue grass belle beautiful Grace McGood win, barely turned 16. The boy's head was turned. It was plainly love at first sight. There was an ardent courtship, and the youthful suitor won. That day there came to the old man in Pittsburg this dis patch: Princeton, Ky. S. S. Brown. Pittsburg, Pa.: I am Koine to be married to the dearest girl in the world. WILL. That same day this wire went back .to Kentucky: Pittsburg. Pa. William Brown, Princeton. Ky.: Wait. I am coming down that way this week. S. S. BROWN. For an answer this came back: Can't wait. WILL. And this was ther reply: ., All right. Go ahead. God bless you ooth. Bring her home. FATHER. But it was1 not so fated. Will Brown, undisputed heir to the larger share of his father's millions, did not bring his bride home. She brought aim home In a coffin. Almost the next day he fell ill and was dead within a week. The bride-widow, al atest HI with her grief, aaet her fa- Bl I f V I gfe "? " I;i3 V ssssf k SA BBBBB? iflMl TO HIS LATEST PET ther-in-law and went straight to his heart. "Yon must stay here with ns, my dear," said the millionaire, "and be my daughter, too. I know Will would have wished it so." Old Man's Daughter Dead. So the girl stayed along with the old man, and year after year made herself better loved by him. Then came another blow his only living child, his daughter Nellie, died In Italy. "I am afraid my poor old heart will break." said the old man, bowed un der this added weight of woe. There was no one to turn to save his daughter-in-law now. He called her to him one day soon after the funeral, and said: "Stay here with me, for I am left alone. Be the head of my household, and when I die you will be the same in my will as if you were my own daughter. And why not? Are you not the wife of my dead son, my enly boy?" But the girl did not need this prom ise. She loved the old man as the father of her boy husband. Her sis ter came to live with them and she took her place at the head of the Brown household. The servants were instructed to obey her in everything, and wherever she went she was in troduced by the millionaire as "my daughter Grace, my son's widow, dear to me as my own." Everywhere it was understood that the young widow was to be his heir ess. Folks were told that Mr. Brown's life was insured for $100,000 in her favor. Martha Lewis Appears. Mrs. Brown's sister married and she went back to Kentucky with her for a visit That was the beginning of the end. When she returned she found that Mis3 Lewis had been asked to live at the Browns'. "Grace," said the old millionaire, by way of making clear how things stood, "just take Marty and buy her some things, and show her how to wear them." "Marty" was what Mr. Brown elect ed to call the pretty girl he had in- stalled as his protege in the big house. Young Mrs. Brown balked some, but she did as she was told. But she refused to Introduce the girl to her friends, and she still was Mr. Brown's mentor when he went to New York en matters social. Martha E. Lewis was the daughter of a boat caulker employed by Mr. Brown. When only a child in short dresses the millionaire had taken to her because she reminded him of his dead daughter when she was a tiny girl. When she grew older he made her his almoner in his many charities, and when she was out of her teens he had her made secretary of the Sun day school which he had endowed. Gifts were showered upon her Just as the were upon Miss Grace Brown. For awhile things went along smooth ly enough on the surface, but Mrs. Brown gradually discovered that she was being undermined.' Miss Lewis finally got control of the establish ment and ran it with an iron hand. Family Makes Objections. The other Browns brothers; cons ins and nephews didn't like this at all. They demanded that Miss Lewis be at least sent to live elsewhere and that Mrs. Grace Brown be brought back from Kentucky, where she had gene, to give tone to the household. "Not for a minute," retorted the old man. "Grace has chosen to live away from me and I will not trouble her." Apparently, however, the aged mil- pari mni. j wi Krvuju SsLsBSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBsVSV I uonalre was still fond of bis son's widow. She spent a part of the sea son with Mr. "Brown last year and as the Christmas holidays were approach ing she received a hurried call to come to the old man's bedside. He was dying. The young widow caught the first train. But as she sped through the darkness another will- was being made In Pittsburg in the old Brown man sion. With a few strokes of the nen all she hed believed -was to be hers was blotted out But no one told her this when she reached Pittsburg thej uui morning. Young Mrs. Brown was received with open arms. Twenty days later Samuel S. Brown died. During those 20 days the deathbed will did not come to light Mrs. Brown's friends say that it was purposely hidden so that she would know nothing about it until it should be too late. The mil lionaire died, surrounded by his fam ily, while Mrs. Brown knelt at the bedside. Will Sept Secret Never were greater efforts made to keep a will from becoming public. It was filed secretly. The authorities JIM MBl JKMS0V Henry KmrneMwetiC Srohm. were ordered to meekly complied. keep it secret and The family lawyer furnished an extract to the newspa pers, but all reference to either of the young women in the case was careful ly eliminated. "That's all we care to give out to the newspapers," was the lawyer's curt rejoinder when pressed for an ex planation. But the New York Sunday World's correspondent in Pittsburg made things so interesting for all concerned that finally the entire contents of the will were made public as provided by law. Then the storm broke. The feud became public property. Promptly there came a demand from the officers of the Mary Brown church that Miss Lowls resign her position in the Sun day school. Fereed te Leave Sunday School. The church had Mr. Brown's $70, 000. They cared no longer. They had bowed to his will In life, and they had installed hb protege te a posi tion ef distinction in church affairs. New they would have no mere ef her. At a public hearing she was asked to resign, aad she did. Then she announced that she In tended marrying aad that was her ostensible reason for retiring. She and William Arthur Porter, a race track employe of eld man Brown's, had leag been in leve. la fact, they leved each other before he was taken ill. Here were the provisions of the will concerning the young women in the case: Bequests to Martha Lewis. Second.

We know to-day that there is no such thing as irretrievable ruin; by the knowledge and power we have we can rebuild what is de stroyed.

Life is secure, genuine, strong and vital only in proportion to our ability t sacrifice those things which in the present are dearest to us, to obtain those things in the future which are more worth while than the things we have sacrificed.

In striking contrast with this art the clauses in which Miss Lewis bene fits In the following sections of the same will: Ninth. "I give and bequeath to Miss Martha E. Lewis, of the city of Pittsburg-, one-half of the residue of my library wherever the same may be sit uate at the appraised value thereof, he to have the right to select books te the amount of one-half. I also give and beaueath to the said Martha. E. Lewis my Astoria States Racing trophy and the box of silverware which I re cently purchased from Heren Bros. co." Tenth. "I also give and bequeath to Miss Martha E. Lewis aforesaid, first mortgage bonds of the Pittsburg Brew ing company to the aggregate par value of $30,000. which I direct shall be de livered to her by my executors within 30 days after my death; and if for any reason the said bonds are not delivered within the period aforesaid, I direct my executors to pay to her on the first day of the month following my death the sum of $125 and a like sum monthly thereafter until said bonds are deliv ered to her." The library from which Miss Lewis was empowered by the will to select one-half of the books Is worth $50,000, and one of the most complete libraries In the city. The Astoria racing plate, which also went to Miss Lewis, was offfUV viDmhfff tewavrntemtto of gold, valued at $10,000. It was won by Sue Smith. Received Many Presents. By the will Miss Lewis got in all $60,000. This was only a small por tion of her benefits. When she was 23 her last birthday Mr. Brown handed the delighted girl $20,000 in new bills. Only a few months before he had given her a beautiful big house on Greenfield avenue, worth $20,000 This Is where the bride will live when she returns from her honeymoon. She got $20,000 worth of diamonds, too, and in all $125,000 in cash, say Mrs. Brown's friends, before the old man's death. The Browns have taken the daughter-in-law to their hearts.

Members of half a dozen large business firms admitted here Thursday, at the trial in the fed eral court of George H. Crosby, the Burlington traffic manager, George L. Thomas, the New York freight broker, and the tatter's clerk. L. B. Taggart, that they had received thou sands of dollars in commissions from "unknown sources." All of the firms had hired Thomas to attend to the shipping of their goods from the At lantic seaboard to their stores in St. Louis and Kansas City, but none of the witnesses would say that these sums of money had come from Thomas. W. E. Emery, a member of the Em-ery-Bird-Thayer Dry Goods company.of Kansas City, who admitted receiving from $1,500 to $2,000 a year, said he did not know who sent it, but "sup posed it came from Thomas." Not withstanding the large sums thus paid in commissions, none of the firms had kept any record of the amounts, ac cording to the witness. All payments were made In New York. The government introduced as evi dence a contract entered into by George C. Smith, row dead, for the Smith-McCord-Townsend Dry Goods company, of Kansas City, and Thomas. It provided, in addition to a commis sion of 2 cents a hundred pounds on 'incoming shipments" and a guarantee af $500 a year, that Thomas "shculd route all shipments except those that were prepaid and on which no rebate or allowance can be held."

Several interesting developments marked the closing ses sion of the interstate commerce com mission's investigation into the alleges discrimination by railroads in the dis tribution of cars in the bituminous coal field. Testimony of a sensational eharnctei was given by F. Albert von Boyneburg general manager of the Reakert Broth ers company, coal operators, with of fices in this city. Ha stated that with in the last two anil a half years his company's car supply had been so in adequate that the business had bees practically ruined. He declared that other companies had bee,n favored ir. the distribution of cars and said he had no doubt that discrimination bad been practiced against his company be cause it had failed to make gifts ol stock to the railroad officials. He gave it as his opinion that President A. J Casastt was responsible lor the dis crimination. FORCED TO SELL MINE. Shortage in Car Supply Compels Own ers to Quit Business. Philadelphia. Additional cvldenc of discrimination by the Pennsyl vania railroad in the distribution of cars in the soft coal field was presented to the interstate commerct commission Thursday. John Lloyd, a banker and coal operator of Aitoona who is one of the members of the banking firm of Cassatt & Co., testified that the Columbia Coal company wai forced to sell the Alexandria mme be cause of the shortage of cars, and George E. Scott, of the Puritan and Crescent Coal companies, declared that he paid for the use of railroad cars when he.faiied to secure his allotment and that during a period of 23 days the railroad had furnished him with only one car. He also asserted that Michael Trump, general superintend ent of transportation had told him the company had intended to protect the Berwind White company at all hazards. COAL STOCKS GIVEN AWAY.

The persistent questioning of Attorney Glasgow for the commission, brought out the fact that Mr. Patton had ac quired stock, the par value of which is $307,000, in various coal companies without cost to himself. He explained however, that he had signed notes ob ligating himself for his share of the losses and declared his belief that it was proper for him to accept the stech under those conditions.
