Superintendent Maguire In Rosy
With the Ffttimntcn.
Supt. Maguire of the lire department is
busy getting up his estimates for the new
fire station to be located in the south
western section of the city. He has sev
eral si4es for the station in mind that are
at the service of the city, their owners be
ing willing to sell, but does not know
which should be chosen. It is his expecta
tion, however, to secure a location near
the new school building to be erected on
Eighth street, as that will be the most
Important improvement on any of the lots
in that section. It is iwobable that the
location will be somewhere between Sev
enth and Tenth and Jefferson and Bur
roughs streets.
The Fire Committee of Council, Supt.
Maguire says, is favorably disposed to
ward his plan and would like to see such
a station established for the safety of
property interests in that section of the
city. The committee will report favor
ably to Council upon the matter when all
of the superintendent’s estimates have
been completed and turned over to it.
It is proposed to have a combination
hose wagon and chemical engine at the
elation. Supt. Maguire believes that
would be ample apparatus for the imme
diate needs of the section. The unpaved
streets of the locality make it necessary
that some apparatus be located in the vi
cinity if a lire is to be reached before it
has Consumed the property if attacks.

Superintendent anil Health Officer
Still \ iKiting the SehoolM.
Supt. Ashmore and Health Officer Brun
ner are again paying visits to the public
sehool-s of the city to look after the vac
cination of the puptto. Several days ago
they finished the round of their first visits,
when all the chiMren were examined.
Parents were notified then that the chil
dren who could not show satisfactory evi
dence of successful vaccination within re
cent years would either have to submit
to the operation by such physicians a
the parents might elect or undergo it at
the Schools, when second visits were paid.
Some of the parents decided they would
have the vaccination done by their fam
ily physicians, but the majority thought
it would be just as w li to have the health
officer do it. The latter was the cheapest
plan, as he makes no ch arge. According
ly, Dr. Brunner has been vaccinating
many children during the last few days.
Yesterday the Henry and the Barnard
Street Schools were visited. The day Ik*-
fore the superintendent and the hearth of
ficer visited the Anderson Street and the
Massie Schools. The others of the sys
tem will also be paid visits in order that
those not rendered immune may undergo
vaccination.

Government Want* to Foster the
Scheme of Some Linen.
The division of forestry of the agricul
tural department of the United Slates is
in consultation with three important rail
way companies over a contemplated inno
vation in American railway methods.
roads—the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul, and the Zanesviile and Ohio—are
considering raising tie and pole timber
on a large scale on their now non-utllized
right of 'Way lands. Other large Western
roads are also Interested.
This action is due chiefly to the falling of
natural suppty of this material in all but
the newer ;>ortlons of the United States.
Aibout 1,000,000 acres Of limber are con
sumed annually by railroads in building
and repairing, and, at the present rate of
timber depletion, the increased cost of
such material will soon be a serious fac
tor in railroad economy. The Santa Fe_
line has already done some experimental"
planting, and the results have done much
to stimulate interest. This road planted
I. acres in eata’.pas fifteen years ago.
The total expense was $128,000; but it is
estimated by the railroad offl'daTs that in
ten years more the tract will have pro
duced $2,500,000 worth of poles, ties and
posts.
Having become convinced of the neces
sity of growing their own timber, the
railroads naturally wish to take advant
age of the assistance offered by the gov
ernment to tree planters—which consists
of expert advice, and of the working plans
for planting, based on personal examina
tion. The object of the government is to
demonstrate the value of tree plantations
to land Owners, especially those irv the
treeless regions of the West.

ing Ne ws: I have re; 0. I don’t know how
many times, about t •• great transforma
tion made In the conditions of boys, who,
starling" life without a dollar, are to-day
worth mllliotis, these poor boys’ only cap
ital being thrift, energy and determination
to “get there.” The great moral lo all
these interesting review* of the Uvea of
these self-made men is that every boy in
this great land can do the same thing, if
he only follows in the footsteps that have
been left on the s in ’s of time by such il
lustrious predecessors.
Now, in reading about the wonderful
changes made in the conditions of some
of our to-day very rich men and the man
ner in which the;, limbed up the ladder
of success. I ask m -olf, could these same
changes be prodi. c l .it die present time
and under conclitu existing
What I want is i plain, honest and
square statement from men of brains, who
think, who are not sAared to speak the
truth, and who thoroughly understand this
subject.
I want them to come out and say if
they honestly believe that any average
young man, starting out in life to-day,
without a dollar, without influence or
help of any kind, with nothing in tie
world but his good health, and a strong
determination to win, and following every
known recipe in the world that has ev r
been offered, as to being the best and
surest way to reach the top rung of the
ladder of success, could such great results
as we have brougi t before us as illus
trations, lx* achieved?
In these days of -uch fierce competition,
gigantic trusts lo light, and the markets
overcrowded with labor of every kin 1,
must not one hav help of some kind?
Must not the help be there, in order to
make a great success, or even a moderate
on?
Can the rule or r deis that were employed
by our present il-h anti successful men
some twenty-fiv or thirty years
ago. be followed successfully' to
day? Must not one take changed
candltions into consideration, or
have conditions nothing to do with one’s
success or failure? is it a fact that
every man is responsible for his own suc
cess or failure? Can we to-day u&e the
truism that “every man is the architect
of his own fortune?” If such Is really the
case, great Caesar s ghost! what a lot of
miserable and poor architects are float
ing about in the great sea of life.
Reading so much on the subject has set
me to thinking and while I have my own
views regard, ng i his mat tec. It doesn’t
follow ihat they are the correct ones. I
want to hear the opinions of successful
and honest men, who won't hesitate lo
give plain and straight facts; I’m sure
what they may have to say on this mat
ter wiw interest every young man and
every parent, who have sons.
If it’s necessary to change the rules of
success, why it’s about time it was done;
if, on the other hand, the same road that
lead thousands oi to success is sti’d in
good conditioil an-i enn be safely traveled
then I say go ahf 1 young man and “keep
in de middle of and road,” and if you don’t
see success a hen 1 of you, don’t get dis
heartened, but keep up courage; keep on
tramping, and you’ll eventually reach
your goal, provided you live long enough,
or if some mftser.vble curs do not put such
obstacle's in your path that you cannot get
over excepting “by help of some kind.”
Now, good friends, go ahead land le’s
hear wha you hhve got to say on this
interesting subject; for interesting it is to

THE DOCTOR SAID
“Stop Coffee and I *• Pofttuvn Cereal
Coffee.*' t
“It seemed a hard matter to get through
breakfast without a cup of hot coffee, so
I etuck to it for several years, although I
wns a great sufferer from ick headaches,
which com times attacked me as often as
three times a week. I used to take medi
cine for my head troubles, not knowing
the cause of them, ami kept on drinking
coffee, until I Anally came down with a
eerioua stomach trouble and had to go to
the doctor. He said I had dyspepsia in a
bad form and some other complications;
that I must stop drinking coffee and tea
for a year or more. I got hold of the
Postum Food Coffee, and since using it,
have been entirely free from the head
aches and stomach trouble.
‘lt lias evidently been a great benefit
for me. for my health has been revived
and I have grown fleshy since beginning
Its use. My husband ami daughter also
drink Postum and like it very much.
Daughter does not think she can have a
breakfast without her Postum. 1 find peo
ple occasionally who have tried Postum
but complain that it is not strong enough.
I find in such cases that they are either
helter-skelter housekeepers or have been
very careless in, the preparation of the
Postum Food Coffee. It requires full fif
teen minutes of actual boiling after the
bubbling begins, and two heaping tea
spoonfuls to the person. This gives an
elegant cup of coffee. Any one who is
troubled with coffee drinking can well af
ford to abandon it and take up the Postum
Fool Coffee.” Mrs. I* W. Bell, 2532

Rome good housekeepers mix the Pos
tum. four heaping teaspoons to the pint
of water, in n very little water, and place
It in a tali coffee-pot so It will not boll
over, then after it has begun to boil and
been stirred down, they add enough water

Haw He Imp penned His Fellow-Trav
elers Some Time before His Elec
tion,
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Le Roy Wiley, Esq , for many years a
resident of Charleston, 111., but now liv
ing in an adjoining county, tells a story,
of Lincoln's ability to get close to the
people.
The reminiscence was brought out by a
recent account in a local paper of the'
great debate held In Charleston in 1858
between Lincoln and Douglas, which told
of Lincoln's effectually silencing thg “Lit
tle Giant" with a word from that rock
ribbed Democrat, Orlando B. Ficklin of
Charleston, who had served In Congress
with Mr. Lincoln. Douglas had repeated
ly made the charge in other towns where
these debates had been held that Lincoln
had refused to vote for supplies for the
Mexican war. With characteristic shrewd
ness, Lincoln bided ills time until they
spoke at Charleston. There the little, but
eloquent and mighty, Douglas repeated
the charge. Mr. Lincoln rose to his feet,
seized Ficklin, who sat on the platform,
by the coat collar, and, almost dragging
him to the front, said In a voice to be
heard all over the old Court House yard:
"Ficklin knows that’s a lie.” Ficklin, to
his credit, stood by the truth to the dis
credit of his party's greatest leadef. He
sad s mply, Mr. Douglas Is mistaken "
The story Mr. Wiley tells is as follows:
"Late in the fall,of that year I was on a
train going north, on the Chicago branch
of the Alton. Eleven o'clock at night had
come: the car was Well filled; the passen
gers had become drowsy and most of
them were trying to get such sleep and
rest as were to be had while sitting in
the hard and uncomfortable seats of a
primitive railroad icach.
"At Springfield Mr. Lincoln's tall form
came in at the door and he took a seat
immediately behind me. He wore a shovt
cloak of broadcloth and o silk hot, as was
the fashion in those days when a gen
tleman was 'dressed up.' After shaking
hads with me ond inquiring after many
Charleston friends, among <hem his step
mother, whom he loved os a mother, and
Dennis Hanks and Gus Chapmen, he said,
if I didn’t mind, he'd like to talk, as he
was only going a little way up the road
and didn’t want to go to sleep. I readily
assented, and Lincoln soon had me fas
cinated with his wonderful flow of sensi
ble words.
“The cars In those days made more
noise in running then they do now, so It
was necessary to tnik much lounder than
one would ordinarily. While Mr. I.in
co.’tVs voice was not of the heavy, sonor
ous kind, yet it was tolerably loud, and
rather penetrating. Ho in elevating ids
voice to be heard above the rumble of
the train he spoke much as he would on
the platform in open oir.
“He began by telling me his ideas of
money-loaning, speculating, etc. Then lie
mentioned some friend who had induced
him to Join In buying a tract of land 'n
Missouri and laying out a town. I have
forgotten the name of the town, but Lin
coln said tie believed it would make them
both rich. Money at that time was worth
10 per cent., legal rote. Men's necessi
ties, howeveer. often made them willing
to pay 15 per cent., and even higher. Lin
coln's idea was that money loaned at law
ful interest would earn more In the long
run than at a usurious rate; for a man's
willingness to pay a high rate showed his
extreme necessity, ond the probabilities
were that in loaning to o man willing to
pay usury, the principal itself would be
jeopardized.
"Lincoln’s earnestness of speech, even
in conversation, the loudness of his voice,
and his style ot presenting any subject,
soon attracted the attention of every one
in the car. They shook off their drowsi
ness, left their seats and gathered close
around ns. Even the cinduc.or would stop
to listen as he passed by.
"It was a night I shall never forget.
The ride lasted two hours, perhaps. Mr.
Lincoln getting eff at Bloomington, if my
memory serves me right. But he held his
audience spellbound during the entire
way.
"When he bade me good bye and went
out of the car. the question began to bo
asked, "Who was that?” I told my fel
low-passengers that that was Abraham
Lincoln, the greatest man, I then believ
td, in the nation. Immediately there were
expressions of joy on every side. Though
none had seen him before, all knew him
from the reputation he had won In his de
bates with Douglas. One man said: 'I
would not have missed It for $500.' Anoth
er said: 'And that is the great Lincoln;
the man that has no equal; and yet he
talks about the small things—the things
the common people can understand.’ ”
