Moody,
The Dynamo
Of Work
l-M-l-M-H-I-H-M-H-I-H-l-H-H-H
IP tho boy with aspirations would
follow In tho footsteps of somo
noted man and cmulato his ex
ample in reaching tho top ho
might well study tho career of William
II. 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." .

and of a romantic turn of mind, loved
poetry and the beautiful.
After Ids graduation he got a posi

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

faction to his customers. This device
consists of an automatic shield, adapt
ed to close over both sides of a wedgo
of cheose or to fit into the opening of
a cut round cheese. 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

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.

Brown Is a very carefiul man. Ho 13

Now, Brown has a wife. Wives have

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.

"Gents' gloves third counter to th

"Certainly," said the salesgirl, and
she brought out gloves until she found
what ho wanted.
"We never had n man buy his
gloves at this counter before," she
said In tho Intervals of trying on, "but
I'm sure I don't see why more men
don't buy women's gloves. You can do

How He Found the Pol"!.
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.
Flour In Bricks.
A new method of preserving flour
has reoently been adopted with suc

of compression With hydraulic ap

preserving the flour from the ravages
of Insects, while It Is equally secure
