LrOAt week he was reciuemed by a coupla if business men to donate to the "Hilly" Villlams fund, which he did by presenting i genuine 2-karat pigeon blood ruby to Mrs. I'lllianifr-, and told her to raffle it oft by j riling- tickets on the stone. Mrs. Williams leslred to place the stone In some jewelry tore on exhibition, but the dealers re used, stating that if It came from the (otcii diamond man it was a fake and hey wouldn't be responsible lor it. So lie poor woman took it back to the pre enter, rvho laughed aloud, because he was ime hundred dollars more to the good. Mr. Scholl Ib represented by an army of learly fifty traveling- representatives, aoll ng tho manufactured diamonds to bankers nd business people of all classes. The iranch office recently established hero has nided seven new men to the list. Every lay comes inquiries through the mails and eriuests to have a representative call when n their city.

There Is little of the adventurous In the present railroad doings of the east. It is the cold business enterprise. Rut once over the big river,' the srlrlt of adventure runs through every psge. In the great struggle, for the command of the gulf, in tho battle of the giants for the traffic of the const, men tire men, not mechanisms. In the oast they say. "The Pennsylvania, has dono this." or "the New York Central has done that," and so on to the end of the story. Out weet men apeak of Hill. , of Harriman. of Gould, of Toakum. The dif ference is the difference between the first class machinery exposltfon an4 a first-class fight. The ractftc northwest Is the real center of the building activity. The state of Washington, Oregon, Idaho. Montana and Nevada claim more than 8,9X1 miles of new railway. In Immediate prospect. What this means may be Inferred from the faet that It is mora railway than now exists in. the state of Washington and Is twice as much as there Is In Oregon. These states have all outgrown their railway systems. Here also lies the amphttlieate r of the mom spoetacular railway contest of the day, for here James J. Hill rnoets H H. Harriman In the field. Oregon for forty years has lain fallow, bound around by the great circle of the Shasta Route and the Oregon Short Une. This past summer Mr. Harriman has announced that more than 1,009 miles of railway will .be built for the opening of Oregon tho great, deep, mysterious desert of central Oregon. Beyond the Colaasbla. Across the Columbia river. In Washing ton, Mr. Hill Is building the Portland Seattle railway from near Pasco Into Port land, about 230 miles. It Is the most sin gular railway ever built In the west. It is to cost between $00,000 and 70.0f0 a mile,, to be built of the heaviest steel rail, and to he practically a water level line across the Rocky mountains. To accom plish thia foat mountains are leveled and cast Into the river, huge cliffs of solid granite pierced with a series of tremendous tunnels and great crevasses filled with broken ruck. The roadbed, in fact, is being cut along the precipitous cliffs that are the north shore of the Columbia river. The i one sole purpose of this made road Is to pro vide a new highway for the Northern Pa cific and the Great Northern, which shall make those roads the cheapest, and there for the most powerful, of the railways that carry freight from the lakes -to the Pacific. There is no local traffic on the line. On the south flows the broad Columbia, with the Oregon Short Line ' but a few miles back from Its shore. On the north lie the cliffs and tha mountains. In direct reprisal for this daring Invuskm of Portland, Mr. Harriman Is shoving the Union Pacific north into Seattle, the head quarters of Puget round traffic. He has spent more than 110,000,000 to get his terminals and approaches, and Intends to carry tils fight Into . the heart of the enemy's country. This line, like the lart. Is a strategic railway rather than a pio neer. Ob to the Cstit Into thia battle of the mighty Intrudes a new combatant, tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The country traversed by Its surveys is semi-arid In places. Coming Into the mountains the road cuts through tho copper center of the world, skirting the marvelous mountain of Butte. Beyond. It pierces the great forests. Here and there, throughout the thousand . mile stretch of main line. It. traverses rV'h val leys, heavy with graJn and cattle. Across the Columbia It runs through the home of the big red apple, perhaps the most distinctive of tho varied products of the garden stnto of Washington. This is a giant project. In time It. will probably make the St. Paul the second or the third large? of the railways of the union In point of revenues. It means the creation of a new highway to rival the Oreat Northern and the Northern Pacific. Tardy Recoajaltloai for Wyenslaa. Wyoming Is coming In for a tardy recojr nltion as a railway field. The United States government Is upending many millions of dollars on two great irrigation project In that state. In consequence, the Chicago & North western Is pushing through a branch from Caaper westward. Tho Colorado nd South ern ha surveyor In the field running .a line north from Denver to the Yellowstone river. The Chicago. Burlington & 4ulncy la mapping out a new line. ' Southward the Hill lines disappear. That mighty pioneer Is replaced ''n the central region by George J. Gould, who rivals the activities of E. H." Harriman. The new Gould line Is one of- the most spec tacular and Impressive episode of the day. It Is designed to be the western division of the Gould transcontinental railway, from Baltimore to San Francisco. It Is a task of huge proportions. It must cross the Sierras with u line that sliall be cheap to operate. The only railway that crosses this range in central territory today Is the Central Pacific, built more than forty years ago by tho California pioneers. It climbs al inodt into ihe eternal snows, then slides swiftly duwn into the riglon of eternal summer. At yet the difficult parts of the new West ern Pacific are little nnre than surveys, but the reports that come out of the west Indicate success. If the engineer finally secure a line through the Sierras with a maximum grade of only fifty-two feet lo the mil', the ikw road will undoubtedly revolutionist the . carrying of through freight from Salt J.ke to San Francisco. Review of Reviews. WILD DEMAND FOR BRACELETS Prndaet ( Factories for the Year Hold Out asd Orders romlnar la. Jewiery mafrufneturers are having the time ct their lives trying to fill orders which have rushed upon them to an ex tent never before known In tho trade. Thle was the report given out by every maker' of gold and silver Jewelry within the last fev.- days. With most of the plants operated day nnd night the demand cannot be supplied. A scarcity of aKIIlod workmen is one of the conditions, nnd this ha led to advances in wages. The Maiden Lone district of New York is the outlet through which Is sold not only the product of the New York fac tories, 'but also of various other cltlo.i. The manufacturers whose salesrooms are here and who have factories In Newark, Providence, the Attlenoro and other cities, say that the situation at all ot these places la similar to that in New York. In eastern cities where cheaper average grades of Jewelry are made the tress Is raid to be even greater. Some of the manufacturers say that they have been compelled to refuso further orders which called for deliveries before the holidays, as the output Is gold up to next year. Retailers from all parts of the country have been coming on to New York , In 'large numbers In order to urge deliveries, many offering cash payments In the hope of getting their supplies moro quickly. Bracelets are given as the direct cause of the strain upon the factories. Although other kinds of ornaments are being made In large quantities, the bracelet output is said to exceed numerically, and per haps In value, all the others put together. Numerous factories have this season been converted from other lines of jewelry to the manufacture of bracelet. Every thing else in many shops Is being shoved aside to increase the production of them. An odd circumstance Is that simultan eously with the home demand for brace let in all parts of the United States, the Jewelers ' report a cry of tho same kind from South America. Cuba and the Phil Ipplnes, lands in which American Jewelry has been meeting with much favor In late years. On the other hand. Importers at New York have been bringing here au Increased valuation t of Jewelry from Paris, but this Is mostly of the finer grades. . The duty Is 60 per cent ud valorem. Salesmen and parts of office forces have been put to work at the benches. Several prominent manufacturers of Maiden Lano have brought their wives and daughters to the shops, and many married women, who as girl worked In the factories, have again turned their hands to the specialties in which they formerly ac quired skill. Retail Jewelers, in some Instances, have Installed mall shop in any avallablo room in or near their stores for tho spe cial purpose of turning out bracelets. Su perior hand work Is being done In some of these small shops, and this appeals to people who look fpr designs that no body else wears. Manufacturers say that a large propor tion of the best workmen In the factories ceme from the European Jewelry centers year ago, and, while their ranks have been gradually depleted by deaths and other causes, American boys have not stepped forward In sufficient numbers to fill their places. Apprentices aro not In these times encouraged by other em ployes. It Is said. "Workmen were glad In the old days," said a manufacturer who rose from the bench, "to teach the boys who came into the shops as apprentices. That dif posi tion Is now rare. This Is one reason, I think, why boys are more disposed to enter office than to learn trades." New York Sun. and a half feet in length, from six to eight feet In rxtent of wings and weighs from six to twelve pounds. Under most circum stances wary and difficult of approach, this esgl nevertheless Is often surprisingly time and unsuspicious. Unprovoked It rarely attacks man, although such In stances have been reported. It prefers trees for watching and roosting, but In spring sometimes df-scends to ride the cakes of Ice In tho river, apparently looking for fish. This species breeds throughout Its range wherever suitable places exist and It has been known to lay and hutch pegs In con finement. In the aouthern pnrt of the United States, from Florida to Texas, It breeds very early, depositing its eggx usually during the first half of Deeembnr; In the middle st.ites and in California It lays In February or March, about the mid dle of April in southern Alaska, sometimes In May or even June in the Arctic regions. The nest Is located nearly always In the vicinity of a stream or body of water. The fnvorlte slto Is the top of a tall tree. Whero there are no trees a rock or a niche In n cliff serves the purpose. The same nest Is occuplinl year after year and annually repaired or augmented until it becomes nn immense structure, nve, six or even eight feet high and as much in diameter, containing; fully a cartload or two of material. It usually forms a strong platform, with only a slight depression In the center, and easily sustains the weight of a man. Ducks of various kinds fall regularly a prey to the bald eagle and they arc stolen from unwary sportsmen Just as readily as larger birds. Wounded ducks, with those pudlolned from hunters, form at some sea sons a good share of Its food. At favorable opportunities this eie preys upon fawns and, pressed by hunger, will sometimes at tack a full-grown deer, particularly If the latter be wounded. In most of the states of the union and In many of the Canadian provinces tho bald eagle is protected by law, either specifically or by general enactment, but In a few It Is till specially exempted from the provi sions of the general nongame protection acts. An Anchor to the Windward. "I canot speak of Daniel O'Day without emotion," said one of his associates high in tho Standard Oil company, "There nver was a bravor, truer man to work with. He waa master of his business, mas ter of resources, nnd one always felt that at tho call of duty or the behest of friend ship he would cross the' continent at an .lour'a notice. This quality always made ilm a picturesque figure. He -was a cav iller of the oil fields." Of his many benovelenees, says the New York Mail, tales without number are told, evidencing1 his mother wit as well as the universality of his giving. One recalled by a friend seems worth telling: Mr. O'Day was & Catholic and the friend was a Protestant. The latter, finding Dan iel O'Day's name down for a thumping sub scription to a Baptist charity, asked him how he could square himself with the Pope. O'Day, atwumlng his quiuzleal expression, said: "Well, the next world, maybe, Is not ac curately charted, but between you and me, that Baptist subscription wai a llttla anchor thrown to windward in the water of heaven."

Bysrly. profes- j sor of mathematics at Harvard,' waa once asked by a student how to develop a re tentive memory. The professor answered that ordinary mental exercise was suffi cient to pecuie a good memory, whereat the student asked if he might tee the mental capacity of his instructor. Prof. Byerly agreed, and the student asked htm to listen to and remember several varied Items for a test. He began: "One quart of whisky," Tn!" said the professor.1 "Sis pounds of sugar, a pint of sour milk, three onions, half a gallon of mo lapses, and two raw eggs." , "I'm:" raid the proferscr. "Two green apples, twenty-six p?anuta, one and a half cucumber?, and four minco pies." "Urn!" said the professor. "A package of starch, sixty-seveu caku of yeast, and the skins of seven bananas Got that down?" 'Yes," answered Dr. Byrrly. "How does It taste?" akcd the student. Boston Herald. Eagles are popularly supposed to be quite different from hawks, but. In a word, they are nothing more than large hawks. Thoy reach sometimes the age of nearly 100 years. They live singly or In pairs and dwell In the wtlder places In all kinds of country, from tropical deserts to the Arc- tic regions. In their search for food, how ever, they often wander far and, embol dened by hunger, even approach the abodi s of man. Iu story books and newspapers eagles have many times been accused of earning- off young children, but such tales are unreliable. The bald eagle, white-hearted eagle, white headed sea, eagle, or bird of Washington, Is of partlculnr Interest to Americans as the national emblem of the United States, to which dignity It was elevated on June JU, . The name "bald" eagle originated fiom the white head and the erroneous Im pression of baldness It tlvcs at a distance. This tlrd measures about three or three In the iniereata o- Truth. "I want to know," said the attorney for the plaintiff, who was cross-examining the witness, "Just what the defendant said when my client told him he was a bigamist and that the fact had been found out." "He didn't say anything," answered the witness. "Well, what did he do?" "H acted kind o" hasty.'' "I want to know exactly how he acted." "Want me to show you?" "Yes."
