Moody, now retiring from Uw su premo court. Early in llfo ho decided to make a namo for himself, and ho worked and studied night and day with this end In view, never giving up, although facing discouragements thnt would have floored most men. "When a small boy Mr. Moody drove a milk wngon from his father's farm near Newbury, Mass., and while on tho road ho studied at ovory opportunity. Ho has said in later years that ho started llfo with tho habit of doing something most of tho time, and this habit stood him In good stoad when ho grew up. In Washington he wns recognized as ono of Uio most nctlvo government officials from tho time ho went there. Young Moody finally left tho pater nal farm to go to Phillips academy, at Andovcr, where he was graduated In 1S72. ne got his diploma at Harvard university four years Inter nnd then studied law, first at Harvard and later In tho Boston offloe of IUehard II. Dana. In tho meanwhile ho had corn ed his first dollars by tutoring In his senior year at tho university. Starting to practice his profession In Haverhill, Mass., where he shared an office wltli another young man, Mr. Moody for tho first few months, as ho expresses It, scarcely earned his salt. "I remember distinctly that my first year's compensation amounted to tho munificent sum of 5185," he said In re counting the uphill work that faced him In tho opening of his legal career. WILLIAM H. MOODt. Tho first fee he got was $1, and the client handed It to him without ever giving him a chance to fix tho price. To look over Mr. Moody's varied public services since lie went to con gress in ISOo Is to find easily tho rea son for what at first might appear to bo favoVltlsm. At tlio beginning of his seven years In tho bouse ho won tho friendship of Speaker Thomas B. Heed Czar Iteed. That gave him a start a little quicker, perhaps, tlian ho would have got It otherwise, but be fore long his associates realized that Ids mastery of details iu committee work, his untiring energy and skill as an orator would have put him iu the front rank anyway. Next ho showed his ability as secretary of the navy, from May 1, 1002, to July 1, 1001, and after that as attorney general from July 1, 100-1, to Dec. 1G, 1000, when he resigned to be appointed a supreme court justice. Altogether there were few men of tho Itoosevelt period who wero more constantly in tho public eye. It was a species of publicity, too, that ap pealed not only to Moody's tempera mental chief, but to the general public, becauso Moody's almost dally en trances into tho limelight were lnvari ably connected with one or another llooseveltlan euterprlso of tho trust baiting order. Now It was tho paper trust, now tlio lcef trust nlwayB it was somo trust lie was nttacklng or about to attack. Mnuy good stories aro rolated of tho retiring supreme court Justice, among which are the' following: On ono occasion when an opponent protested that ho had been dono an In Justice Mr. Moody with quick courtesy instructed tho stenographers to furnish an abstract of tho speech to tho pro testing member, so that tho latter might have opportunity to mark for expurgation any objectionable para graphs. When a colleague at ono tltno doubt od whether Mr. Moody's constituents would lndorso a irfcasuro ho was sup porting ho replied: "I was not sent hero to shako and ehlver.like a dry leaf In a November gnlo whenever a protest camo from homo, but to exercise my intelligence and to vote for measures according to now, in my best Judgment, they would benefit or lnjuro tho people." .

In 1000 he was graduated from St Luke's school. near Philadelphia. Ho was studious and of a romantic turn of mind, loved poetry and the beautiful. After Ids graduation he got a posi tion in tho National City bank of New York and went to that city from bis homo in Washington. He was assign ed to the foreign department of the bank and was getting along finely in his work, having been promoted sev eral times. In New York he led a re tiring life nnd spent the most of his tlmo In study when not at the bank. Tho murdered woman wns formerly Mrs. Nellie Neville H. Castle and a daughter of Henry H. Scott a coal merchant of San Francisco, and a sis ter of Captain Henry n. Scott of the United States army. She had trouble with her first husband and obtained a divorce. Last year she came into prominence in New York when she at tempted to shoot William R. Craig, a lawyer, at the Waldorf-Astoria. He withdrew a complaint of assault which he had made against her. On April 10 her friends In San Fran cisco received cards announcing her marriage to Porter Charlton a few days before. Tho marriage took place in Wilmington.

It was then announced that they Intend ed spending their honeymoon abroad and It wns while the two were occupy ing a villa at Como, Italy, that the Crime was committed. A STRIKING MEMORIAL Description of Civil War Monument Erected In Syracuse, N. Y. Tho civil war memorial recently dedicated In Syracuse, N. Y., Is ono of the most striking and notable sol dlers and sailors' monuments In the eountry. One group Is a symbolic de lineation of "Tho Call to Arms" and is composed of four heroic figures an in fantry soldier, a cavalry trooper, an artilleryman and a bluejacket. In high relief over their heads Is an aerial goddess df war or of patriotism sounding tho trumpet nnd holding aloft tho flag. At tho sides of the group are portions of the cannon and of tho horse, which belong respective ly to tho artillery and the cavalry arms of the service.

It Is fitted with a spring which causes It to keep always pressed over the cut surface of the cheese, thus preventing the air from reaching it and drying it out Tho difference noticed between cheese bought at one storo and that obtained at another is not always a matter of quality, but often a matter of method In preservation. The dealer who takes proper care of his goods will find that thoy keep fresh longer and the pro tector shown In the cut will give him Invaluable help in this direction. Dairy Notes. Cowpeas come next to alfalfa as a dairy ration. It's always better to have the sepa rator too big for the Job. The pure food law only allows 16 per cent moisture In butter. You are losing money If tho milk sours before all the cream rises. The man who can keep his cows up to the mark is a born dairyman. Five per cent salt Is enough for butter. Most markets are better satis- fled with less. Western dairymen aro about agreed that the fresh fall cow Is the moat profitable. Comfort for Cows. Cows that are given the most com fort with feed and shelter are the ones that produce the greatest profit The cow naturally likes to lie down for rest whllo she Is chewing her cud. She will He down In her stall, whether It Is clean and comfortable or not Plen ty of good bedding will make It com fortable and help to keep it clean. Ar range now to have enough good bed ding for the cows ' to last all winter. It is not only good for the cows, but It absorbs rich liquids and Is one of the greatest means of making the farm fertile and highly productive. Spells Loss. Every dairy butter maker whose product is known to be of uniform good quality designated as '"common country butter" nearly always sells be low that price and during four or five summer months goes as low as 12 cents. Why why will Its makers bo content to follow methods that spell positive loss? Who can and will an swer this question? Tho Kurallst. Extra Feed for Cows. As pasture grass becomes short and killed by frosts, begin to give the cows extra feed, as they will hold up to milk. Taking the cows into winter In good condition, other things being equal, will mean a steady, high milk flow all through tho winter. Put Your Name On. Havo your name on every Jar of butter you send out Also write the weight on the bottom so that It will not rub off. A slip of paper pasted on, with these things written In ink, Is best Properly Raised Cows. Cows that havo been properly raised and developed make much more effi cient dairy cows than thoso that havo been grown and developed on a ration that was ill adapted to their needs. Scrub Cows Unprofitable. Tlio dairyman who puts all of hla tlmo and attention into a dairy and keeps a herd of scrub cows Is about on a par with an old hen sitting on a bunch of china doorknobs. He doesn't value his tlmo very highly. Sometimes a stick becomes lodged In tho nostrils of tho cow. There will bo Indications of labored broathlng. Always investigate, and remove the causo of the difficulty. The drinking water in the summer Is an Important matter with the stock, especially with tho dairy herd. Ito member that foul water Is sure to breed disease. Profits of the dairy are dependent largely upon tho comfort of tha jtpclc. Pottery and Sucreey. In the royal manufactory of pottery At Meissen, Saxony, the work was for merly carried on with the utmost se crecy to prevent the processes from becoming known elsewhere Tho es tablishment was a complete fortress, tho portcullis of which was not raised day or night no stranger being per mitted to enter for any purposo what ever. Every workman, even tho chief Bspector, was sworn to sllcnco. This Injunction wns formally repeated every month to tho superior officers employ ed, whllo tho workmen had constantly beforo their cyc3 in largo letters the warning motto, "Bo Secret Unto Death." It was well known that any person divulging tho process would bo imprisoned for llfo in tho castlo of Kocnlgstcln. Even tho king hlmsolf when ho took strangers of distinction to visit tho works was enjoined to se crecy. Ono of tho foremen, however, escaped and assisted In establishing a manufactory In Vienna, from which the secrets spread all over Germany. Her Diamond Necklace. Brown Is a very carefiul man.

Wives have to bo given birthday prcseuts, and on his wife's first birthday after their marrlago he gave her a beautiful dia mond necklnce. This was not as reck less as you might think, for each stono on tho necklace represented a year of Mrs. Brown's life, and ho let every ono know that And ho arranged to give Mrs. Brown a new diamond each birthday. And ho let the neighbors know that too. Ho has Just missed giving his wlfo a birthday present for tho ninth succes sive year. As to when greed will conquer pride and his wife will ask for another birth day present, we shall have to wait and see. Pearson's. The Festive Codfish. A correspondent of tho New York Post says that the codfish frequents "the tablelands of the sea." The cod fish no doubt docs this to secure as nearly as posslblo a dry, bracing at mosphere. This pure air of tho sub marine tablelands gives to tho codfish that breadth of chest and depth of lungs that we havo so often noticed. The glad, free smile of tho codfish Is largely attributed to tho exhilaration of this oceanic altltoodlcum. Tho cor respondent further says that tho "cod fish subsists largely on tho sea cherry." Those who have not bad the pleasure of seeing the codfish climb the cherry tree in search of food or clubbing the fruit from the heavily laden branches with chunks of coral have missed a very fine sight The codfish when at home rambling through tho submarino forests does not wear his vest unbut toned as be docs whllo loafing around the grocery stores of tho United States.

In the summer of 1008, accompanied only by my mother-in-law, I started out In search of the Pole. 1 thought it best at this time not to make any premature announcement of my inten tions, as my mother-in-law was not feeling well and I was afraid that tho notoriety might unnerve her. We passed the winter in Greenland, where my mother-in-law knitted mo some worsted neckties and a pair of sealskin suspenders. In the dead of winter we started north. We both felt very confident of win ning, as we had been practicing every winter for years of going sleighing in an old-fashioned New England sleigh. Having survived that, the Pole had no terrors for us. On the 31st we reached the Pole, The Journey up was rather tiresome, as my mother-in-law Insisted on wak ing me up at 4 o'clock every morning and reading family prayers. She is there now. Life.
