FRANKLIN'S MAXIMS UNIVERSAL
"Poor Richard's" gaylaara ' Beeai
More Tksa Carreat Proverbs
aad Eadarei,
The maxima of "Poor Richard" are often
merely current proverbs, but the wording
In which Benjamin Franklin clothed them
has endured, and they are therefore usually
credited to him. The line, "Thinks I, that
mnn has an axe to grind,'.' Is one of the
many well known sayings contained In the
Pennsylvania Almanac of 1758.. The ex
pression "That man has an axe to' grind
also ocours In ' "Essays, from the Desk of
roor ztooert, toe ecnDe., - .written cy
Charles Miner and flrat printed In the
Wilkcs-Barre Gleaner In 1811.
"When I- see a. merchant," wrote Miner,
"overpollte to hlii customers,' begging them
to taste a little brandy and throwing half
his goods on the counter thinks I, that
man ho an axe to grind."
Benjamin Franklin entered the printing
business soon after his'" arrival in this city,
and on October 1 1729, Issued his first
number of the "Pennsj-lvanla Gasette."
As every printer in the colonies published
an almanac. Franklin Issued i IS first nurn
bcr In 17S2, under the, name of,' Richard
Saunders., "Poot Richard, as the people
called th .slmSf.cnt
usual information found in-such nubUoa
ttons. a collection" of maxims In quaint
and simple language.
An extract front one of the pages ef tela
almanac runs As' follows:'
"Richard says, 'Tie foolish to' Jay out
Money in a Purchase, of Repentance; and
yet this Folly is practiced every Day at
Vendues, for - want of minding the Al
manac. Wife, men, a Poor Dick says,
learn by others, harms, foo'j scarcely by
their own; but, Felix quern faciunt allena
pericula . cautura. Silks and satins, scar
lets i.nd velvets, as Poor Richard says, put
out the kitchen fire.' "
It was In this style, and In this way
on the pagea of his almanac, Poor Rich
ard gave to . the world the hundreds of
maxims which are now almost universally
quoted.
In order tp devote more time to study,
Franklin, In 1748, sold his newspaper, al
manac and printing house to David Hall,
one of his 'employes, In consideration of
$90,000, payable In eltshteen years during
which time Franklin waa to contribute oc
casionally to the Pennsylvania Qaxette
and assist In. editing Poor Richard.
Franklin's Philadelphia printing office
was established In the rear of 13 market
street, and today he lies burled only
few blocks away at Fifth and Arch atreets.
In a grave unpretentiously marked. In
early life he had written a fanciful
epitaph for . himself, which was published
In the New England Courant, and has be

EVEN SCIENCE GIVES IT UP
Power of Lst Revive Brain Which
Waa Dead for Sixty
Hears.
Mrs. Harry Cohn's brain had been dead
for. sixty hoira
It came to life again and the woman
who had been lying In a death-like coma
sat up and smiled Into her husband's eyes
and spoke his name.
Mrs. Cohn was thrown from her horse
In Denver. She fell against the street curb
and struck her head a frightful blow.
They carried her home unconscious and
for sixty hours she lay white and still,
without a sign of life or returning con
sciousness. Her mother and father and
William Hahn, her brother, watched be
side her every minute of the sixty awful
hours that they have passed since the
accident.
'My daughter's husband. Dr. Cohn, was
In Trinidad when the accident occurred,"
said Mrs. Hal.n. "We thought every hour
would sco a change for the better, and so
we didn't telegraph ' until last night. He
caught the first train out of Trinidad. We
knew ho was coming, but we' dreaded to
hear him come up the steps. My daughter
hadn't spoken or moved, and we were,
afraid she would never speak or move
again. '; .
"The Instant the husband came Into the
room my daughter trembled a little, sighed,
opened her eyes and spoke her husband's
name. Wasn't It strange? How do you sup
pose she knew who It was that came into
the room. She hedn't known any of us
since she was hurt."
The physician In charge of the case said
that there Is every chance that Mrs. Cohn
will soon recover. There seems to be no
actual fracture of the skull, he declares,
and her unconscious condition was un
doubtedly due to nervous shock, but the
physician, skillful though he Is, does not
answer when the sick woman's mother asks
him where her daughter's mind was for
sixty hours and what explanation his
science can give of the fact that the mere
presence of her" husband Could call her
back from tho strange land of silence,
when all the medical skill In Denver could
not move her to the quiver of an eyelash
Is lov stronger than death?
And will the human heart speak when
the brain Is dumb?
The doctor says he does not know.

reding the examination had passed, and,
with the ' unfeigned esse of a man, .the
woman tilted back her Fedora hat well
over her black short-cropped hair, thrast
her hands deep In the' side pockets of her
trousers, and said slowly and forcefully:
"I waa left alone In the world when I was
a girl of JO. I tried to get employment as
a woman, but everywhere I went my low
pitched voice and my mustache were
against me, snd I could not get on. For
fifteen years I struggled along In the field
of female employment, but It was of no
avail. i
"I have been an honest woman all my
life and have never violated any law. I am
sorry that It Is a violation of the law tor
me to dress as a msn, but I did not know It
I have become so accustomed to acting as
a man that It will be difficult for me to
live now as a woman. To go back to wom
an's apparel and try to earn my living
would be extremely hard for a woman of
my years."
Mies Johnston said that after leaving
Canada she went to California, where she
remained for fifteen years. As Frank

country and worked on several big ranches.

After traveling about the country for fif
teen years in male attire, the sex of Mary
Johnston . of . New Orleans was. discovered
at Ellis' Island, N. T., when the Immigra
tion doctors ' decided to examine her . for
tuberculosis. ' Miss Johnston Is 60 years
'ld, slight' 6f DUlWand of a sallow com
!lexlon. Her manner and conversation show
refinement and ome culture. She won the
sympsthy of all the -officials at Ellis Island
who heard her story yesterday, following
the 'disclosure that she was a woman. She
arrived In New Tork October S, In the
steerage of the 'American liner New Tork,
from' Southampton. Miss Johnston . was
born in Canada, of English parents, both
of whom died when she was 20. Nature had
blighted her with a' thick" black mustache
and an unusually low toned voice, and It
"Was" lit" acjcfcroanVe' vMh 'these 'unwelcome
handicaps .that she was forced to disguise
herself as a man, associate with. men and
earn her llvjng In occupations usually fol

she was nicked out of a group of men Jrf
the In ale detention ward on Ellis Island
and told that she was suspected of having
tuberculosis. .
The woman protested that she waa In
perfect health, but the examining surgeon
aald he wanted to be sure, and ordered her
to the hospital for examination.
The woman tried hard to control her
nerves, buwhen the surgeon said, "I shall
have to ask you to remove your clothing,
Mr. Woodhull." Miss Johnston wept.
"Oh, please don't examine me!" she
pleaded. "I might as well tell you all, I am
a woman, and have traveled In male attire
for fltecn years. I have never been exam
ined by a doctor In all my life, and I beg
of you not to make an examination of me
now. I know a woman is treated with re
spect and courtesy In this place, and I ask
that you send a woman to make the exam
ination. Surely this consideration Is due
ma as an honest and respectable woman.'
The surgeon called In a matron at the
woman's request, but later they examined
her lungs to make sure she was not tuberc
ular. It was found that she was In good
health, but not rugged. She was an alien,
but not an undesirable one, and had It not
been for the clothes she might have been
admitted to the country.

In the gulf of lower California' there Is

farm requires the labor of 1,000 people, In

methods have been completely revolution

Pearl farming as originated by the Mexi

of a very simple fact concerning
pearl-bearing mollusks. After twenty-five
years of study and experiment It was dis
covered that the 'shell loses Its gem after

shells during the season when the eggs
are being deposited, are placed in pro
tective cages, in the bottom of which are
little artificial channels, made to imitate
the bottom of the sea. .The utmost care
is taken to protect the young mollusks

PRIZE FOR 83-YEAR FUTURITY
Cloea of a Remarkable Tnatlae Prop
erty Scheme to Thrifty ,
Connecticut,
A futurity race In New Haven,. Conn.,
which lasted eighty-three years, with at
least $260,000 for the prize was settled Sep
tember 80, when the death of. Deacon Lu
cius Wooster of Westvlllo was announced.
Now the seven final heirs to the Tontine
hotel property are left and the estate will
be decided. In 1820, 300 persons subscribed
110 each, makln a pool pf $30,000, with which
the Tontine hotel, one of the best known
In New England, was constructed. It was
finished In 1828 when the race began.
According to the terms of the original
agreement, every shareholder had a right
to nominate any person for the futurity.
The property was to be kept Intact until
only seven survived.
, The nominees were in most rases babies
in the cradle, care being taken to make
nominations of persons who were of fam
ilies with a record of longevity.
The Connecticut legislature granted a
charter for the company and the hotel be
gan doing business as the chief hostelry
of New Haven. As time passed on its
site on the New Haven green became ex
ceedingly valuable and the land It owned
near the hotel became the site for other
valuable business blocks.
The hotel continued to prosper under the
tontine association, and some financial
experts place the value of the property and
the surplus at $150,000.
The charter granted by the legislature
permitted complete secrecy In the financial
operations, and no report has ever been
made of the funds held, or the puyments
made by the officers of the company. In
deed, the nominees, and the shareholders
have never been announced.
Deacon Fitch, one of the most prominent
alumni and former officials of Tale uni
versity, was the eighth nominee surviving.
This was learned a few months ago, and
the care taken to prolong the Uvea of the
survivors in the hope that each would ex
ist until after one more of the number
died has rivaled that described In Robert
Louis 8teveraon's book "The Wrong Box."
In which a similar tontine race is described.
The contest for the futurity for several
weeks haa been a battle of trained forces
and doctors, and the elderly people who
have been left in the race have practically
led Uvea In glass cases. . -
The annual meeting of the tontine asso
ciation will be held In about two weeks.
At that time stepa will be taken to wind
up the affairs of the tontine company. The
corporation woud be criminal now under
the laws of Connecticut, but It has been
thought best not to disturb the associa
tion, but instead to allow It to continue
until it wound up its affairs In a natural
way.
It Is know that three of the surviving
nominees are Mrs. Betsle Ives, Mrs. H.
W. S. Whaples of New Haven, and Mra.
Sarah Ooen of Chicago.
Deacon Fitch was 88 years old. He was
for many years assistant treasurer of Yale
and was for two years Its treasurer. New

We have Had some very remarkable glove sales, but the sale to be held
on Saturday, October 10th, will outclass anything ever before attempted by
us. We were extremely fortunate in snapping up an importer's clean up.

lar stock and give you a pick from all of the 12, 16 and 20 button kid, lamb,
suede and cape gloves in our entire stock.
Two lots at two prices, $2.49 and $1.49 a pair.
In the $2.49 lot are gloves worth $3.50, 3.75, 4.00 and 4.25.
In the $1.49 lot are gloves worth $2.50, 2.75, 3.00 and 3.50.
The $2.49 lot consists of all perfect gloves.
The $1.49 contains some slightly soiled from exposure.

true that the long sleeve garments in vogue at present
interfere to some extent with the sale of long gloves.
Many leaders of fashion, however, wear kid glovesoyer

ROSE KI,NQ OF AMERICA
Immense F.stabllshment and Vast
Business la America
Beauties.
The rose king of America has his piln
clpallty some thirty mllee up the Hudson
from New Tork City, directly In tha seat
of fashion along the Albany post road.
There are roses to right of him, roses to
left of him, roses In front of him and
behind him, all told, nearly 160 scree of
roses. It 1s common for him to ship to
New Tork City 20,000 roses. Tou scarcely
would know that one had been taken. In
the miles of glass houses there are hun
dreds of thousands more. About 7,000,000
are sent away each year. All are American
Beauties.
The king is Paul M. Ptereon, who, for
the last twenty years, has raised nothing
but this variety of rose. How vast his out
put is may best be judged from the fact
that last June between 600,000 and 760,000
long-stemmed American Beauties were sent
out to serve as "decorations at the wed
dings and commencement exercises in Just
three dries, New Tork Philadelphia and
Boston. The king and his brother, Fred
erick R., have no resorted to the very fre
quent modern custom of handling their
vast plant by managers and a board of
directors, but conduct each Individual fea
ture of the enterprise personally.
In the open air American Beauties can
rot Im raised successfully. One thing
that means' their death is the heavy dew.
"Unusual condensation" Is the technical
term that describes this. Too much mois
ture on the leaves causes the "black spots"
to appear, and when this comes It Is all
over wtlh the roses affected, and they
have to be dug up and destroyed. Too
much moisture about the roots Is the cause
of another of the American Beauty rose's
deadliest menaces. ' The roots begin to
rot, almost In a day, and the work has
to be done all over again.
"Sunlight is our capital," says Paul Pier
son. "It we didn't have plenty of that
rose growing would be out of the question.
June is the month of the year In which
the conditions for rose culture are the
most favorable the ideal month. June Is
the month, too, when most roses are used
It far leads all the others, even the win
ter months, when entertaining in the big
cities Is at Its height. Tou see, there are
more weddings In June than at any other
time of the year. Then there are the
commencement exercises that take a vast
number of roees. Aside from these the
lnorease is principally due to the number
of people embarking for Europe at that
time.
"Yes, during June we frequently send
away 20,000 beauties, and even more, in a
single day. Another reason why these roees
are used so largely in June is that they
cost less to raise them and are cheaper
than In any other month of the year. They
touch the top price about Christmas tlmo,
and ws generally get $1.60 apiece for them
from the big florists In the great cities.
How much they sell them for I don't know.
"Did you ever know that a rose nueds
sleepT t needs sleep Just the same as a
person. But less of it, curiously enough,
in the summer than in tho winter. We
have been making soma experiments with
some of the new artificial lights to see If
we cannot fool tha roses during tha win
ter into thinking that the days are twelve
or fourteen hours long. I do not think it
would be practicable to try to force Ameri
can Beauties or any other roses by at
tempting to grow them under. combina
tion of artificial light and sunshine with
out giving them any rest at all."
Asacrlcoa beautiee are divided Into six
gradia: "Specials," "fancies," "sxtros,"
"firsts," "seconds" and "thirds." These
terms are used to designate the degrees of
perfection In the blooms that are hardly
apparent to anyone not an expert. Each
has a different price from the "specials,"
which are most perfect In every , detail,
down to the cheapest, the "thirds,"' which
have the 'most defects. This Is the way
they are bought by the dealers. When
they are bought by the general public the
grading Is not used. As a general thing
the biggest dealers buy only "specials," the
magnlHcent long-stemmed varieties. The
others go to the grades down the line.
"No attempts have beon made," contin
ued Mr. Plerson, "to chango the color of
the American Beauty. It can be made a
little brighter by keeping the temperature
of tho greenhouse a little lower than Is
customary, but this hardly pays on ac
count of the risk. If the temperature gets
a shade too low It starts all sorts of
things." New Tork Press.
TIRED OF AN OLD BARGAIN
Strange Contract Entered Into by a
New England Town and a
ritlsen.
Because of one of the strangest contracts
ever entered Into by the town fathers of a
New England community and one of Its
citizens, Mrs. Lyman Jennings and her
daughter, Mrs. Herbert I,. Stratton, both
of Orange, Mass., will receive an annuity
from the town of Athol as long as they
live. Each year when this pension Is set
aside by the selectmen of Athol the latter
have occasion to lament the bargain ar
ranger" between the town and Lyman Jen
nings thirty-one years ago.
"The Jennings annuity," as the gift Is
now known, has become the source of
much interest and discussion among the
financial experts of the state.
Thirty-one years ago Lyman Jennings,
then 69 years old, went to the selectmen of
Athol, where he then resided, and pro
posed to give 9,O0O outright to the town
on the condition that Athol pay him t per
cent Interest as long as he lived, snd con
tinue after his death to pay his widow 11
a year, and each of his three children $120
a year, an amount equal to that which
Jennings would receive yearly during his
lifetime.
The town fathers agreed to the bargain,
their decision being based upon the figures
of an insurance table as to the average
longevity of the five beneficiaries.
But much to the surprise pf the shrews
according to the table of statistics. Jut.
nlng continued to draw the annuity ci
IMO until laat year, when he had exceedeu
the 'average Insurance longevity by six
teen years.
The town had returned to the old mat.
during his lifetime for the t.1.000 loaned ttn
sum of $16,200, and this year the sum o
$300 had to be set aside for the Widow ar,i
his one remaining) child, now 60 years o:
age and In the best of health.
Btlll bound by the contract, Athol will' h.
hereafter compelled, to continue to pay
per year In addition to the $16,200 already,
paid, as long as Mrs. Jennings and Mrs.
Stratton live.
Herbert Stratton, son-in-law of the late
Jennings, believes that Athol cannot pos
sibly lose, and that at tho current rates ot
Interest since the money was given, the
town Is several thousand dollars to thi
good.
Judge Charles Field, now living In Athol,
drew the contract.
1( haa been figured out that had Jennings
put his money in a savings bank he would
have had a smaller return In Interest, bui
would still have the principal. On the other
hand, many of the Athol experts declart
that the town gains, since It has paid I pel
cent interest for thirty years on a princi
pal that never will have to be paid, and a
smaller Interest on that unreturnable prin
cipal for a longer time.
While the peculiar bargain with Athol
made the namo of the late pallmakcr fa
mous for his shrewdness, otherwise the old
man until, his death possessed the reputa
tion only of being the hardest worker In
the county. To make up for his slownesit

From the United States consul a Frank
fort, Germany, conies the suggestion to
American manufacturers of paper collars
and cuffs that, "with proper effort, they
might secure a large trade In that country.
Not everybody is aware that such an in
dustry still exists and flourishes. Those of
mature years who can recall boyhood days
on the farm or In the country village, will
remember a general use of paper collars
which would be bought and consumed, box
upon box. and even paper false "bosoms,"
