HOW MR. GOSSARD HAS FUN
TR
Goes Out for the Chap Who Needs
Just a Little Help to Give Him a
Start. A Cheery Smile and a Lit
tle Money for Every Fellow Who
Is “Up Against It.”
Once in a while there is a rich
man who understands how mighty
uancomfortable it is to be ‘‘broke,”
who realizes that many a man with
out the price of a meal has the ability
to win success if given a little timely
aid, and who has the heart and the
judgment to give liberally and wisely
of his surplus to help the “down and
eut’ fellows once more to their feet.
Such a man J. W. QGossard, a
wealthy Chicago manufacturer, seems
to be. He is a hard worker himself
aad a keen business man, but for
many years he has positively refused
40 do any work or transact any lmsi-i
mess on Thursday. That day he calls‘
Wis play day, but his play <:onsistsi
very largely in geing about seeing
she fellows whom he may help by{
means of a cherry smile and a little
amoney. é
Mr. Gossard does not give money
away. Not by a great deal. He
doesn’t believe in that. When he
£oes out to help his fellow man, or
when his fellow man comes to him
fer help, he always has one pocket
full of money and the other full of
promissory notes. He makes his
benevolences a matter of business.
‘“‘Hello, old chap!’’ Mr. Gossard
will say to a fellow whom he meets
in the park or on the street and hap
pens to look as though he had about
reached the end of his rope. “You
don’t look very cheerful. What's the
{drouble? Out of work and dais
couraged, eh? Bosh! don't get dis
couraged. Things will come your
way pretty soon. Here! Suppose
liend you $5 for 60 days? Will that
ead the strain? All right; just sign
this note and in 30 days bring me
the money. If you haven't a job by
that time come to me any way and
111 renew the note. Now g 0 get
some grub and a shave. Then square
your shoulders and get a hustle on!”’
His Visit to New York.
Mr. Gossard sometimes finds that
business calls him to New York.
His Thursdays are his play days
there just the same as in Chicago.
He was there last week. A New
York newspaper man captured him
Thursday evening and made him tel]
something of how he had passed the
day.
“Well,” finally sald Mr. Gossard,
“I'll leave you to judge if I didn't
have a prett§ good time today. |
am stopping with some friends on
Highteenth street and rode to the
Battery on a street car. There
wasn’t anybody on the ¢ ar that
looked as if he needed help. If there
had been I would have butted right
4n and asked whether I couldn't do
anything. There's many a good chap
who is pretty closé to the ropes, but
who will never whimper. Yet he
umeeds help to tide him over for a

To My Friends and Acquaintances:
[ wish to say that from now on I am with the
Dawson Drug Co. on Main street. and will appreci
ate your patronage.
I will have a repair shop far superior to any that

little while, and it's part of my plan
{ when 1 see a man I think is in this
class to jump right in and announce
myself.
Work at the Battery.
- "1 got off the car at the Pattery,
and there I found plenty to do.
“Sitting on the benches looking
out into the harbor were more men
than 1 could count. I'll bet that al
most everyone of them was broke.
I can tell that broke, down and out
look a long way off. I didn’t have
my sandwiches with me today. 1
handed out money instead. In Chi
cago I go out into Grand Park, on
the lake front, with sandwiches, and
I always find hungry men to give
them to. Today I let the men buy
their own food. One of them told
me he meant to fill up on pie. I
hope he got all he wanted. It's no
cinch to be broke and have your
whole being longing for pie and no
way to get it. A man can get a lot
hungrier for pie than '‘he can for
bread.
“I went down the line in Battery
Park picking out the chaps that
’1()()}{('(1 more down on their luck than
the others. It's funny, but I didn’t
find any boozers. Every man that
drops bhehind the procession doesn’t
lose out through booze. You’ll find
plenty of reformers that will tell you
that drink drives almost everybody
off the track. A lot of the men I
talked to today were straight, clean,
honest fellows that either hadn’t had
the right opportunity or that didn’t
have the ability to take advantage
of the opportunities they had.
“l went right up to them and asked
them how things were going and if
I couldn’t do something for them.
I asked them as if 1 meant what I
sald, too. A kind word and a smile
do a lot more good than half a dol
lar, but don’t forget to give the half.
One man told me he had the promise
of a job in a week. He told where
he was going to work, but he couldn’t
tell, because he didn't know, where
he was going to eat till he and that
job got together. So I staked him to
enough to last him till his next pay
day.
Will He Make Good? Certainly.
“Will I get it back? I wish I was
as sure of everything in this world
as that I am that that fellow will
make good. I had him sign a prom
issory not—good 90 days after date.
[ set the time myself. He wanted
to promise to pay me out of his first
wages. He needed clothes more than
I needed the money, so I told him
I'd try to wait 90 days for my monev.
I have loaned thousands of dollars
just this way and most of it has
come back to me. Some of it that
[ haven’t got yet is on its way.
“I don’t want to criticise other
men who want to help people that
need help, but sometimes I can’t help
thinking that when they do slip a
peor chap a little money they do it
‘n such a way that the man they give
the money to has his self-respect
dented a little. Now, a man that
doesn’t respect himself isn't worth a
snap of my fingers. How are you go
ing to make him respect himself if,
simply because he is broke, you treat
him worse than you would treat a
dog?"”

Atlanta, Ga., December 13, 1906. |
Before attending your school I was |
a student of the Pitman system of |
shorthand for two months, and dur-|
ing that time I was only able to
write three or four simple sentences. |
Becoming disgusted at this, it was
my intention to abandon shorthand

WORLD SHOWS UP ROOSEVELT
OIL TRUST WAS HELD UP TO THE
TUNE OF $lOO,OOO FOR HIS
CAMPAIGN FUND.
After First Sum Was Paid Another
Modest (?) Demand for $250,000
“Was Entered. Troubling the
Waters Brings Out Volumes.
In an interesting story appearing
in the New York World the open
charge is made that early in the
1904 campaign the Standard Oil
Company, as -well as other trusts,
banks and large corporations, re
ceived a request to contribute to the
republican campaign fund. This re
quest was ignored, Hedry H. Rogers
being responsible for its refusal.
Later, when the second call for
campaign funds was made Mr. Cor
telyou, chairman of the republican
national committee, sent word to Mr.
Rogers asking for an appointment at
which the existing conditions could
be explained and the financial sup
port of Standard Oil secured. This
appointment was made by Mr. Rog
ers, to be kept at No. 26 Broadway,
the Standard Oil building, and Mr.
Cortelyou was informed that both
Rogers and John D. Archbold would
he pleased to see him. Mr. Cortel
vou, finding that Mr. Rogers was not
to meet him alone, but that Mr.
Archbold was also to be present, con
cluded it would be safer and more
discreet not to go himself. The ap
pointment was kept by Cornelius N.
'Bliss, treasurer of the national com
;mittee.
‘ Roosevelt Would Melt.
At this interview Mr. Rogers ac
‘cused Mr. Roosevelt of ingratitude
'and recalled many past favors from
the Standard Oil Company to repub
lican candidates and campaign funds.
Mr. Bliss admitted that President
Roosevelt might have acted harshly
toward the Standard Oil, but said
that while Mr. Roosevelt's first term
was ‘‘constructive’’ his second term
would be ‘‘conservative.”
Relying on these assurances Mr.
Rogers and Mr. Archbold made a
contribution of $lOO,OOO.
This contribution, coming to the
knowledge of President Roosevelt, he
wrote to Chairman Cortelyou a vio
lent letter denouncing the Standard
oil Company and announcing the re
turn of the contribution. This letter
is on Mr. Cortelyou’s file and a copy
of it is kept by President Roosevelt
for the purpose of making it public if
ever the facts of this Standard Oil
contribution ever became known.
Money Not Sent Back.
This contribution was not re
turned. Not one cent was paid back.
The same was used, so far as Mr.
Rogers and Mr. Archbold knew, in
like manner with other contributions.
Later in the campaign, when Presi
dent Roosevelt became scared about
the result and about the time that he
summoned Edward H. Harriman to
Washington and induced Mr. Harri
man to raise $260,000 for the cam
paign fund, a further request was
made of the Standard Oil people.
At the time of the $lOO,OOO con
tribution Mr. Bliss expressed his dis
satisfaction with its size, and said
that the amount should be several
times as great. At the time of the
third request the definite sum of
$250,000 additional was asked for.
Did Roosevelt Know?
In the meantime Mr. Rogers had
learned of Mr. Roosevelt’s letter to
Mr. Cortelyou and of the direction
to return the first $lOO,OOO. He de
clined to give any more money and
recalled the fact that the president’s

instructions to return the first con
tribution had not been complied with,
and that Mr. Roosevelt must have
known all along that the $lOO,OOO
which he repudiated had not only
been accepted, but used.
In view of this fact he declined to
accede to the request for a further
$250,000 or for any further sum, and
denounced Mr. Roosevelt for seem
ingly trying on the one hand to se

AN ERROB CORRECTED.
Is the Carpet Trust, Not Steel Trust,
President’s Son Is Working For.
The story that the president’s son
had taken employment with the steel
trust is an error, a baseless fabrica
tion, a calumny, not to call it by a
shorter and harsher word. He has
gone to work with the carpet trust,
in one of its plants in Connecticut.
It is said that Theodore, Jr., “in
spected the carpet plant pretty
thoroughly and expressed his satis
faction with it.” That would seem
to indicate that he will have pleas
ant and profitable employment with
the carpet trust, which enjoys tariff
protection at the rate of 18 to 60
cents per yard and 40 per cent. ad
valorem.

A lazy liver may be only a tired
liver, or a starved liver. A stick
is all right for the back of a lazy
man. But it would be a savage as
well as a stupid thing to beat a
weary man or g starving man be
cause he lagged in hig work. So in
treating the lagging liver it is a great
mistake to lash it with drastic
drugs. lln ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred a torpid or sluggish liver
is but a symptom of an ill-nourished
body, whose organg are weary with
over-work. Let your liver alone.
Start with the stomach and its alljed
organs of digestion and nutrition.
Put them in proper working order,
and see how quickly your liver will
become active ang energetic. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvelous cures of
“liver trouble’” by its wonderful con
trol of the organs of digestion and
nutrition. It restores the normal ac
tivity of the stomach, increases the
secretions of the blood-making
glands, cleanses the system from
poisonous accumulations, and go re
lieves the liver of the burdens im
posed upon it by the defection of
other organs. Formula printed on
