j ROSE FROM TELEGRAPH KEY
■ ———i William A. Gardner, who 38 years ago
struggled with the Morse code In a little railway'
telegraph office at Lemont, 111., the other night
rode out of the Chicago and Northwestern sta
lk tion on the president's special to inspect the
lofMiL \ 12,000 miles of w i which sprawl over the great
«vS) northwest as far as the Wyoming mountains. Two
%/ hours before that the directors of the road had
\/ /y made him president to succeed Marvin Hughltt,
I waa s'ven the newly created position of
ysffiw 7 * ■ yl chairman of the board of directors.
The story of Mr. Gardner's rise to the place
as chief executive of the Chicago and Northwest
jfflllh/iff/* ern ' s consummation in reality of one of the
L. /f/f/f{>///fff//ff business romances of which every youthful teleg
All the money which Mr. Gardner could con
trol 38 years ago was contained in a pay envelope which the present-day
union telegraphers would scorn to accept. Now he exercises control over the
$53,000,000 annual expenditure for the operation of the Northwestern lines.
W. A. Gardner's "railroading" began with his work for the Chicago and
Alton in 1872 at Lemont, where he learned to use the telegrapher's key. He
was then in his teens, having been born at Gardner, 111., November 8, 1859.
He began his first work for the Chicago and Northwestern in 1878 and added
to his duties as telegrapher those of division superintendent's clerk. From
this place he rose to the position of trainmaster at Boone, lowa, and remained
there until 1883, when he went to a similar place with the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe.
The next promotion that camo his way made him assistant superintendent
of the Wisconsin division of the Chicago and Northwestern in 1885. Five
years later he became superintendent of this division and then rose succes
sively to assistant general superintendent, general manager, and, in 189 C, to
the place as vice-president of the Northwestern lines. Mr. Gardner has a
■wife and four daughters.
In many respects his rise to the position of president of the road is
similar to that of his predecessor, Marvin Hughltt, who also began his career
as a telegraph operaior. When he became chairman of the board of directors
Mr. Hughitt had realized the ambition of his life as a railroad man. This was
to see the new Northwestern $20,000,000 terminal station in Chicago prac
tically completed.
CROSSES OCEAN 100 TIMES
—————"r^TT - -~—-—--i Andrew Carnegie, now seventy-five years old,
/J , is not quite up to his usual form, according to
those who saw him walking down the gangplank
f' A 0 f the Baltic at her dock in New York recently.
b • y\ It was the end of his one hundredth voyage across
') / ifij the ocean. The ironmaster had greatly aged since
{ ii ( he went abroad last May. Leaning heavily on the
arm of his secretary, he stepped slowly and hes
~Z/ F-m itating'v on his way from the steamer to the
1 '<// i. Y'i. ~vj)|y dock, showing less vigor than formerly on his
/ 7annual return from spending the summer in
I Skibo castle, Scotland.
/ill IK |r U,/ whj J Passengers in the Baltic who have been on
Ml 112, | " ' other voyages with Carnegie commented freely
Ri lllM \. J'lPlttr ou ' low "tt' o he was seen on deck this trip. He
i iLii kept to his cabin most of the time and the few
appearances he made except In the dining saloon
■were in the smoking room, where he democratically drew no lines in making
everyone his friend. A touching feature of the trip, they said, was the devo
tion of the millionaire to his daughter. He followed her around continu
ously whenever lie was on deck and was so devoted and attentive the other
passengers described It as almost pathetic.
On the day preceding the boat's arrival Mr. Carnegie, at the ship's con
cert, first called for the song "God Save the King" and then at his request
Mrs. Carnegie read the second verse of America. When her voice died away
he recited the same lines, saying he is the possessor of the original manu
script written by F. Samuel Smith, which ho holds as one of the richest
prizes in his possession. Then Ills voice blended with all the others in sing
ing the entire song.
Mr. Carnegie said it was his one hundredth trip across the Atlantic and
his eighth voyage as a passenger on board the Baltic. "When 1 came to
America forty-odd years ago it was on board a calling ship," said the iron
master. "a great contrast to the fast and luxurious steamships of today. There
has been a change in the people here, too. They have been so sociable and
friendly. The proudest thing in my life is that I am an American citizen."
~~ NOW ACTING CHiEF JUSTICE
————————. -pj K . , uos i conspicuous figure on the bench of
the I'nited States Supreme court anil one of the
/'tfa most distinguished men In the nation is Justice
h J////,, j \ John Marshall Harlan, now acting chief Justice. He
r'" '/!iA. \ holds the record for length of service, having
' 7 '■r///> .it-jgf igjA been appointed in November. 1877. He Is now
V/S v Y\ seventy M von years of age. Many men of half
Ajf ' ' "/i his age might well envy Mm his massive physique
'iff'' aS 1 and the alertness and vigor of his mind. He Is
■« «B ardent golfer and ascribes his wonderful health
y'li llllJlff j to 'his game and his life In the open air.
jj-UiJustice Harlan is a Kentuckian and began
AL practising law when he was only twenty years
df age. During the civil war he saw service for
three years as colonel of the Tenth Kentucky
regiment. Pr< sldent Hayes made him a Justice
of the Supreme court anil President Cleveland ap
pointed him a member of the commission which settled the long standing dls
pute between the I'liltnil States and Great Hritaln over the Hcrlng sea 1m
broglto.
In 1895 the Supreme court was divided on the question of the constitu
tionality of an Income tax The tax was pronounced unconstitutional by the
close vote of five to four, thus reversing a previous decision of the court
Justice Harlan was one of the four dissenting members and when he gave his
opinion he did It with a vlvaeltvOf manner and a pungency of phrase which
rather startled the dignified tribunal. In spite of his advanced age, he has
no idea of retiring from the bench and those who know his mental and phys
ical vigor can discover no good reason why lie should.

The stallion barn fronts to the south

trying is done by leading the mare to
the stallion's door. If found In season
she is led to the northwest corner of
the barn, off from the plank, onto a
space 21x16 feet with cinder and earth
floor and 14 feet to ceiling. A solid
slide door 10x14 feet shuts this space
off from the rest of the barn except
a big box stall in which mares can be

PEST KILLED
San Jone Scale Controlled by Nat
ural Enemy In Form of Discube
of Fungus Growth
Checks Its Spread.
(By C. E. BANBORN, Entomologist. Ok
lahoma Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion.)
During the last two or three years
this department has been experiment
ing with a natural enemy of the San
Jose Scale. This enemy Is a disease
In the nature of a fungous growth. In
southern latitudes It has been used
even to a commercial extent for con
trolling the scale, but on account of
the weather conditions of this state It
has been supposed that such a disease
would either fall to propagate Itself
during the summer or be entirely too
delicate to withstand the low winter
temperature. Careful experimentation,
however, has proved the disease is
very hardy and capable of propagation
to a very beneficial extent in our In
fested orchards.
Oftentimes diseases of a serious na
ture are introduced and scattered by
Insects and other agencies in general.
This disease, however, is not capable
of doing any damage to anything ex
cept the San Jose Scale and allied
forms. Its use in orchards, groves,
and public parks, as shown by our ex
periments, will be of a very great ad
vantage in checking the local spread
of the San Jose Scale.
It is of the same nature as the

couple of holes In north side of wall
to receive them. The wing affords •
safe place for party with mare. The
bars make a pen for foal so the mare
may keep her head to It The bars
also keep the mare from being shoved
ahead and cramped. The top one will
be at her breast and the bottom one
at her knees. These bars should be
strong, say 2 inches, and work easy.
Mares are bred In this pen or stall,
those for the trotter always being hop
pled, but rarely for the draft horse.
The dimensions given may be varied
and the part of stall back of wing
hinged if desired. However, the hinges
are not much of an advantage; the
stall is wide enough so a mare's heels,
by a sharp turn of her head, may be
turned into the wall.
Often boys, or timid people, bring
mares and the safe harbor of refuge
behind the wing is much appreciated.
It will help a stallion's patronage
■ where competition is sharp.
! The floor of the entire space should
J be covered with short stuff and chaff
! and kept scrupulously clean, wet straw
> and droppings being wheeled out aftei
j each visit. This arrangement is ad
mirable also for handling a bull with
safety. Up to this date this year—
August 22 —74 mares have been bred

and 62 cows to a Red Poll bull without

chinch bug disease but Its appearance
on infected insects is not nearly as
conspicuous as the latter. To an or
dinary observer It appears to be no
more than the mold which Is common
ly present on damp bread a few days'
old. It will live and propagate on
bread and is apparently Just as harm
less to the higher animal life, but the
microscopic examination of an infect*
ed San Jose Scale reveals it to be fatal
to the latter.
Our experiments have been so con
clusive in regard to the practicability
of checking the San Jose Scale with
this disease that we are now propagat
ing it to an extent sufficient to enable
us to supply gratis all Interested citi
zens of this state who may request it.
The conditions under which we sha.il
send It out are that the party request
ing It shall first submit specimens of
scale to us for Identification. If the
submitted specimens prove to be the
San Jose Scale we will send a small
package by mall. No directions for
application other than those following
will be given unless especially re
quested.
Directions—The fungus Is grown on

Good Example of Bcottish Humor In
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.
Scottish humor Is dry rather than
boisterous, and I always think there
is exquisite drollery In the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army "captain." To catch
the hang of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac
count of a slight mishap a mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with a Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
"Aye, aye," mused Andra, after giv
ing the desired Information, "yoll be
for Alberdeen, I'm thinkln'?"
"Yes, my man,"was the reply;
"I'm bound for Aberdeen—a very j
wicked place, I'm told!"
"What micht ye be goin' to dae '
there, sir, If It's as bad as a' that?"
asked Andra, rather amused at the j
visitor's words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, "I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber- |
deen."
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retort: —
"See an' drive him north, chiel;
haud him well to the north!"—Ex- !
