Will Use His $30,000,000 to Find North Pole. Says It
Is His Ambition to Place His Foster Father’s Name
on the Map to Last as Long as the World.
Fourteen-year-old William Ziegler,
the richest boy in the world and the
adopted son and sole heir of the late
William Ziegler, the baking powder
%ing and projector of polar expedi
tions, recently told fomwthe first time
in an interview with a New York Jour
nal reporter how he has determined to
devote all the millions left to him by
his foster father to seeking after the
north pole and how he plans upon
reaching his majority to personally
lead an expedition into the frozen arc
ti¢c regions to place upon the world’s
msap for all time to come the name of
tis father, who has left him such
great riches. 3
Here is his own story:
“I will be one of the richest men in
the world. But I know it will not turn
my head when 1 gain possession of all
that money. I will try and do the
most good 1 can with my millions.
“The big task of my life is to find the
north pole. Many brave men have
tried to do it and failed. If by the
time I become a man no other man
has made a great name for himself by
doing it I will start out to discover
the pole. lam only fourteen years old.
[ must study hard for years to fit my
self to be the right kind of a leader.
“Human lives will be in my hands.
1t will be dangerous. I may sacrifice
my life. I understand all this. I talk
ed it over with my father. It will be
in honor of his memory that I will try
to find the north pole. He dearly wish
ed to be the father of the expedition
that would do it.”
And the boy fully understands. So
that while at most times he is a hap
py. rollicking youngster, with laughter
always ready to his lips, when he
thinks of these things the gravity of a
man comes into his eyes and his
speech,
William Ziegler is the boy’s name.
<hance laughed at Fate in the matter
of little Willie Ziegler. He was born
to the name of Brandt. His father
was a poor man. But he was a half
brother to William Ziegler. William
Ziegler made millions out of baking
powder. Brandt died. His children
were taken to the home of several of
his relatives. Ziegler, the millionaire,
childless, picked Willie from among
his brothers and sisters. And so while
f"ate had ordained seemingly that Wil
lie was to be a poor boy Chance laugh
ed at the scheme and led the million
aire half uncie to the babe's cradle,
and out of it the child came into the
arms of his new father, destined to be
the richest boy in the worid and destin
ed. too, to have his whole future taken
away forevermore from the intluence
of Chance—a future that was to be
iaid out for him and a future that de
manded of him that he should be other
wise famous than as a very wealthy
man; that, indeed, he must make for
himself an immortal name Dby the
achievement of a great and dangerous
task from which other men had flinch
ed: died, some of them, and failed, all
of them—the task of the discovery of
the north pole.
This is what the richest boy in the
world is like: He is -a little chap. He
{s sturdy. His hair is brown and curly,
his eyes blue. He has a small nose, a
bit tilted, pert and aggressive. His
mouth is smiling, his complexion glow
ing. He will probably grow up into a
short, sturdy, active, round headed,
frank eyed man. He has to sit propped
in a big chair now because he received
an injury to the tendons of a leg in a
boyish game,
His possession of the fortune does
not hinge upon his making hazard
ous attempt to find the north pole. He
way abandon the project, and still, ac
cording to his father's will, the mil
lions may be his. But the boy says
gravely that he will do the thing that
he knows William Ziegler would be
most proud to have him do.
;The big thing that I have to do in

doesn’t know of any medicinal treatment that will positively
~ cure womb or ovarian troubles, except the surgeon’s knife.

by the wonderful cures performed on diseased women,

said solemnly in full sincerity. “It is
the greatest thing open for any man to
do. It would be great to do what so
many others could not do. 1 would
place my father's name on the map to
remain there as long as the world lasts.
Wouldn't that be a filne way to repay

“My father first sent Captain Bald

Brooklyn undertook the task. He has
not been heard from, and Mr. W. S.
Camp, my father's secretary, went
away a little before my father died to
start a relief expedition. Of course Mr.
Fiala may, for all we know, make the
great discovery. I have to wait at
least until I'm twenty-one. Some one
may get ahead of me. But if the pole
is undiscovered when I become a man

thing now, bhecause time, my father
pointed out, would make many changes

ers new and better routes would be
found when I came to make the trial.”
FAST LIVING RUINS NATION
Gov. Glenn of North Carolina Says It
Is Converting the People Into
Thieves and Gamblers.
Gov. Glenn of North Carolina was
one of the principal speakers at a
banquet given by Tammany in New
York on July 4, and in the course of
his remards said:
“The subject you have assigned me
today—Our Country—is vast and un
limited.
‘‘Political eclouds, now no larger
than one’s hand, are arising on the
political horizen. The dangers are
the conflict between capital and labor;
concentration of all wealth in the
hands of a few, and our living too
fast, both as a nation and as indi
viduals. The last is making us a na
tion gamblers and thieves. Honesty
is the best policy and we can live with
in our means and still be happy.
“*The danger of the great cities is
unrest, anxiety, a never ending care
less strain on the body, mind and
soul. No time for Sunday and rest.
Vice stalking abroad in the day and
shame without fear walking at night.
For all these evils there is a great and
wighty remedy, the message of Christ,
the #King—*‘as ye would that men
should do unto you, do ye also to
them likewise.’
“‘But there is one section of this
fair land, much talked about. little
understood and often misrepresented,
and that section is ‘the land of buck
wheat cakes and Indian batter,” Dixie
land, our own sunny south-—your
south as well as mine, a glorious sec
tion of this grand country.”’
LAD FACED A PANTHER.
Shot the Animal Dead as. He Was
About to Leap Upon Him.
Mr. A. F. Langford, who is doing
the grading on the new road through
Taylor county, Florida, carried to
Valdosta the hide of a panther killed
near his camp last Saturday by a 14-
year old boy. The hide measured 11
feet and 7 inches from the tip of the
nose to the tip of the tail, though sev
eral inches has been cut from the tail.
Mr. Langford says that the forests
where he is working cover an almost
unexplored area of twenty miles long
and eight or ten miles wide, and that
all kinds of wild animals abound
there. The panther was fixing to leap
upon the lad when he shot it with a
single-barrel gun loaded with buck
shot.
Both Were Brave.
The bravest man in Ohio is Michael
Skinback, who lives at Pottsville. He
has only one arm and one leg, yet the
other day he married a widow with
eleven children: neither he or the
widow has any property--nothing but
children.
GAVE UP SUPPORTER. #

‘I wore a supporter for four years, to keep
up my womb, which had crowded evemx
down before it,” writes Mrs. 8. J. Ch .
of Mannsville, N. Y. *My doctor told me no

A NEW BUG IIN DEIMVLEN. l
L
It Attacks Cotton Blooms and De-l
stroys Them. |
A new enemy that promises to ma
terially reduce the cotton crop in this
section is making its inroads on the
plant as it is beginning to bloom, says
a Tifton dispateh.
Mr. P. T. Carmichael, who has forty
acres in cotton a few miles south of
town, brought to Tifton Frida.y morn
ing several cotton blooms which were
completely riddled by a small brown
bug.
The bug is said by those who know
to bear a little resemblance to the cel
ebrated boll weevil, and is a complete
stranger to the cotton planters of this
section. It attacks the core of the
bloom, eating out the part which la_ter
makes the boll, and afterwards eating
the leaves of the bloom itself. Mr.
Carmichael says it has already ruined
several acres of his best cotton.

THE ANGELS WINGS
Came Separate and Were Charged
High Tariff.
A marble angel, intended as a dec
oration in Cave Hill cemetery, has
oiven Louisville custom officials con
siderable worry. For weeks they have
' wrangled over the classification of the
lstatue preliminary to fixing the duty.
| The trouble grew out of the fact that
the wings of the angel came in sep
arate packages, which, according to
the collector of the port, made a dif
ference of 20 per eent in the tariff rate.
The importer, a local monument
dealer, contended that the wings were
part of the statue, and the rate should
be the same. His argument, ‘‘lf an
gels get into heaven without paying
extra tariff on their wings they ought
to have the same privilege in Louis
ville.’! won his case, and the board of
appraisers decided in his favor.
LEE COUNTY NEGRO SHOOTS TWO
“Cat” Bradley Kills Wife and Negro
Man, Then Makes Escape. .
A negro named ‘‘Cat’’ Bradley shot
his wife and another negro, Wesley
Jones, Thursday about two miles from
Leesburg, on the Johnson place. De
tails could not be learned. Jomes is
‘dead and the woman is fatally injured.
‘The pistol handler escaped and at
last reports was being hunted by the
officers. i
Strange, Isn’'t Tt ? l
A woman sees a hat or a bonnet in a
milliner’s window. It is in the latest
style, so she determines to havethat
hat—or one just like it.
No use to try to dissuade her—she
wants that kind of a hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will-power,
and , probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or hex‘l
family. She makes as it were, a fem
inine ‘*Declaration of Independence.’’
Is it not surprising, therefore, to
find some few women who still follow
their grocers to choose for them in
important inatters like food stuffs?
In spite of the fact that grocers as a
rule have long ago realized the neces
sity of catering to their customers’
rather than to their own desires, there
are still a few of the other kind left,
‘who show a marked inclination to
persuade customers to take what they
do not ask for or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the
leader of all package coftees, and |
established favorite for over twenty- 1
five years in millions of homes, onl
account of its absolute pure and uni
form quality. |
Wouldn’t you think it impossible
that a single grocer can exist who
would oppose such an invincible argu
ment of merit, by trying to persuade a
‘customer to buy loose coffee in prefer
ence to Lion Coffee?
Loose coffee has no standard of
quality—nobody can guarantee that it
is even clean.
- Of course, really independent and
intelligent women know this, and so
do up-to-date grocers, but if women
‘were as particular about coffee as
‘about hats, no kind of grocer could
| be without Lion Coffee.
July’s Big Dividends.
To hear the talk about the brokers’
office in New York one might imagine
that the entire $142,000,000 of July dis
bursements will be immediately rein
vested in stocks. As a matter of fact
only a small fraction of the amount!
so distributed will be reinvested im
mediately, probably not 10 per cent of
it. This distribution represents the
semi-annual income of tens of teous
ands of people and it is applied by the l
fortunate recipients to the payment of
household and other current living
expenses. The July disbursements are
larger this year than last by $5,000,000
or $6,000,000 and are pretty nearly at
record figures. :
| Bent Her Double.
~ “T knew no one for four weeks, when
T was sick with typhoid and kidney
‘trouble,’’ writes Mrs. Annie Hunter of
‘ Pittsburg, Pa., ‘‘and when I got better,
‘although I had one of the best doctors
‘l could get, 1 was bent double and
‘'had to rest my hands on my knees
‘when I walked. From this terrible
affliction I was rescued by Electrice
Bitters, which restored my health and
‘strength, and now I can waik as
straight as ever. They are simply
wonderful.’”’ Guaranteed to cure stom

The American Millionaire’s Way.
Swell Londoners who make their
headquarters around Claridge’s hotel
~the ultra-correct thing in London
hotels—were nearly paralyzed the oth
er day when a rich American, W. B.
Leeds, hired the half of an entire floor
for himself, wife and baby. They
have two sitting roowms, six bedrooms
and three bath rooms, besides accom
modations for five servants. The
American millionaire, who has money
to burn and goes to Europe to burn
it. is not going to have his baby
cramped for room in any old hotel,
no matter what the cost.
