H, Church was an itinerant watchmaker =& very good workman, to be sure, but just a plain artisan, says July Sudcess, Of a roving nature, he left the esst, where he was born half a contury ago, and sought fortune in the west. His bent was for nwechunics; he liked to tinker with machines. In St. Paul he met a watchiunker nan Gridley, from whom ho learned his trade. While working at his bench one day Gridley stopped to examine a watch Church had been at work upon. "Is that the best you can do?" he asked. "Maybe I might do a Jittle Letter," said Church. "Then, young' man," said Gridley "you just begin and do it all over again, and remember this: Never leave a piece of work until you have done the best you kmow how to do." The great watchmaker says that he began to achieve success from that day. He has always done his best. Leaving St. Panl, he drifted about the west, working at his trade. He want ed. to travel and found » place with » watch company as an "advance ay ent" for ita makes of watches Ha was to travel through the west ahead of the sales agents, proclaiming the praises of their wares. After four weeks on the road he went hack to the Chicago office and turned in the watches he was carrying. "Here's your truck," be said to the manager. "1 am tired of trying to make other folks believe things about these watches that I don't believe my sell." "Could you make any better wal ches ¥" asked the manager, jokingly "UH I couldn's I wouldn't call myself a watchmaker." "T'll take you at your word. 17] sot you to work in the shops, to see what you can do." That wus twenty years ago. Mr. Church had not been long in the fac tory hofore it was found that he was a rare gening. He told his empldyers that their watches i too much +4 wake. They were spendi too mic for raw material, and their wage ac- count was extravagant. "Give me gy free in this fact: ory," he said, "and I'll save you ie Chun ds chan ir. was anica superintendent of the works, and told ahead and do whatever he lik- SROADBRIN'S LETTER ile The Financial Ability Of The United States CAN TAKE VALUABLE HINT FROM BRITAIN AS TO TREAT- MENT OF POOR. President Roosevelt To Take a Holiday--Holiday Season Has Closed The Churches--A Phe- nominal Murder Case. Whig Correspondence; Letter No. 1.812), New York, July 11.--1i any person living on this globe doubts the fin ancial ability of the United States to pay its honest debts lot them read the linancial register of last week, July Ist, when the war tax was extin guished to the amount of $70,000,000. No nation exists at present on the earth, nor has there been a nation in the past whose financial honor has re sisted such temptation to dishonor in the payment of its debts, as the re public over which, thank God, floats the stars and stripes. At the close of the great rebellion our interest bearing debt amounted to £3,000,000,000, and though the question is but imperfectly understood except by experienced fin anciers, the absolute cost of the war and the national expenses for four years was nearly $5,000,000,000, $2, 000,000,000 of noninterest bearing money, having been paid out during the war, £3.000,000000 of interest bearing debt remained at ite close Then arose the question as serious as national life. or death, how' the in terest on $3,000,000,000 should |e paid. One party shouted; pay it in greenbacks, the national currency of the country, Another, tenacious of the nation's honor, said, never; while one honest American remains alive, the men who came to our aid in the hour of deadly peril, who kept our soldiers upon the land and our sailors on the sea, shall roceive the interest on their bonde in 'gold 'and nothing but gold The objectors replied You force us to take your government greenbacks at par; you pay your soldiers and sailors with the same kind of cur rency, and you make us receive them for all debts. Qutside of this nation, your dollar greenbacks is worth fifty cents in silver, and yet you pav gold at 200 per cent. to the money lenders of Fronkiort, the usurers of the bourse or the capitalists of the royal ex change.: The reply of the honest men throughout the land was that von have assamed an obligation for which if violated, the foreigners who loaned us money. have no recourse but nation's honor. What was the result? Over thirty years have passed the war was ended, and the nation which could hardly borrow a few mil lion dollars except at high interest and grevious sacrifice, stands to-day before the world as one of the safest and most honorable depositories of a peoples' money to be found on the habitable globe. Its securities com- mand the highest premium of any other civilized nagion and taxation rests lighter on the shoulders of the people than it ever did before, and with war debts the pay, armies and ficets to support, it brushes. aside like a feather; $70,000,000 per annim, and that is the remilt of resisting tempta- tion to dishonesty and maintaining its honor at any cost, bright and shining while national life remaine, So on a calm review of our history in the past I think we are fully Justis fied in whistling "Hail Columbia" and "Yankee Doodle," while our beloved kinsmen on the tight little isle on the other side of the water are tearing down their onsigns of war and are bomming - to the music of the tele graph wire, "Britannia Rules the Waves." Joyfal news is that we re ceive this week, that his majesty, king Edward VIL. is not only out of dang er, but had been giving a grand feast to the hungry poor around the Eng lish metropolis; roast beef, plum pud ding and the trimmings, with a good substantial. mug of beer, to every thirsty Briton. Her majesty, quern Alexandra represented herseli while her eldest son, "the prince of Wales, ropre semted his father, king Edward VII. and mother and con received a royal welcome, We must not be ashamed to own that in the treatment of rich or poor, when u preat question has to be dealt with, we can take a valuable bint from our English cousins. When the king was sick and the poor people were informed that there was to be no feast or that it was postponed in definitely the hungry people kicked up such a row that at ome time it was thought almost necessary to all out the military, and no one knows better than Joh Bull that a hingry man is the poorest person in the world to reason with. A change took place in the royal palace; the king was not going to die: his demise was postpon ed indefinitely, and king Bdward VII. finally resolved that be would give the feast himself, and to do that he need- ed no aid from outside capital. Every member of the royal family was call ed into active service wherever the poor were feasting. They were found presenting the king. the since - . sell and, unless an earthquake oceurs otf a Pelee eruption' sends the Wash- ington monument and the capital of the nation flying toward the planet Neptune, he i8 determined to Jet the ship of state take care of itseli until the father of the: nation has bad his outing. The beginning of his holiday was not of the pleasantest character, but it Woe very Rooseveltérian. He rode from the railroad depot to his home on the hill at Oyster Bay, the rain poured down in torrents, it soak- ed our worthy president to the skin and gave him an unwelcome bath. To the members of his family, who were honoted by the opportunity of taking a ride with the president of the Umi ted States, the bath was by no meme welcome. A ride in g dry donkey cart wotild have been better and more ac- ceptable, The lightning flashed inces santly, the thunder shook the very earth, but it didn't phase our Teddy. That ever present smile which dis- tinguishes the nation's ruler was ever on his face and I could almost im- agine 1 could hear him repeating the invoeation of the stricken king Lear, wherein he defies the elements : Awl grumble your beily full Blow wimis, crack your cheeks, And even when ns horses were on the eve of running away, frightened almost to madness by the constant ashes of lightning, our Teddy was as cucumber, and although sonked to the skin he Jooked as though he enjoyed and would not bave altered a single feature of that stormy afternoon Tor all the palace cars, automobiles or other storm de fying machines in the world. The changes in our president's daily life are more remarkable than any of his predecessors. One day we hear that he is the most popular national ruler that ever oceupied the presiden tial chair, the next we hear of won spiracies heing formed against him. I1¢ is said that he és. losing cast with many of the influential members of his party, and that he will lose their support on all great national measures now. pending, but he never loses that continual aplomb which is one of the distinguishing features of his charac ter. When he starts to make a meat national measure a success he follows it up, and despite all opposition carries it through, and so obstinate is he in piloting a favorite measure to success that in hi political vocabu- lary there is no such word as fail, and if the rock of Gibraltar stood in the way he would have it removed to Airica's shore on the other side of the straits of Gibraltar, there to remain til! such time as his favorite project was carried through. It is singular the estimates that are formed of his character. The great Russian painter, Veresichagin, declares that he is one of the most delightiul men that be avef met Many think him brusque, bt there is onc thing that is very certain, and that is he himself and aohody else. His first outing begin ning in a tempest, which for fury and destrfction, had scarcely a parallel in the eentury, had several very interest ing side accompaniments. Teddy, jr., mounted on horseback, was waiting the coming of his illustrious father, his cap blew off, and he failed to re cover it, and though the storm came pelting down on his devoted head, he scorned the protection of an nmbrella, thereby proving himseli a worthy scion of that old Dutch stock that pever took water if they could get good beer. Another tried an experi ment of exploding a firecracker in a beer bottle, the result being a howling success. The fragments of the 'bottle covered the ground for a square yard, and nearly cost the 'president's son one of his fingers, and it is a wonder that he did not furnish the subject of a coroner's inquest. The entrance of July, 1902, into the calendar, will be remembered for many years to come as giving the cleanest city to the island of Manhattan that has been witnessed by living men, The street cleaning contractors have rea son to' rejoke for the mighty swind and the overwhelming flood has re vealed the pavement which has been covered with dirt for at least 4 quar ter of a century. The clerk of the weather puts the rate of the tempest at fifty miles an hour. If the rating of the wind had been left to me | should have put it down at least five hunared. Men were picked up bodily and blown against g lamp post near ly fifty yards away and there they stuck till the worst of the tempest was passed, All sorts of things were fiying through the air; while the storm wad gt its height brickbats and paving were blown about as if they were paper bags. Our suffering was great and the cost of our aqueous blessings heavy, but taking it all in all we feel that we have received the worth of our money and we think that if this storm was tried by au jury of its peers they would ing in the old Yorkshire verdict of "Not guilty, but don't do it again."

She was ga lively and agreeable companion, fond of life and jolly company, and one evening she accepted an invitation to take a sail the bay. The three companions left the shore happy as happy could 84 only one, however, returned, and he is suspected of the murder of the other two, and although married to a beautiful woman, he enthralled by the young "Dimple" Lawrence and madly Jealous of her accepted lover, who was their com panion that night. The bodies of "Dimple" Lawrence and her fiancee were recovered, the lover bearing a mark of a heavy blow on his head. In addition to other causes of suspicion and illustrative of the innocent amusements prevailing in these coun try villages, Mr. Dishrow, the suspect, owed tha man who was said to be murdered, £100, which he lost in the delightful game. of poker, The district attorney declares he will place the most damning evidence of the accused murderer's guilt, while the accused man's counsel declares his ability to present such evidence as will leave the character of his client pure'as th mountain snow. But of course we will have to wait for the evidence of this strangely mixed up trial, but, at present it looks exceedingly ~bad for the man who is accused of murder Our politicians are now to be. found at Coney Island and Manhattan Beach.
