THE SECOND BOY COMPTROLLERX
Mr. Cleveland and Mr._ McKinley Bot!
Selected Young Men for the l’nsltiun.
A mere boy! one of Cleveland’s blun-
derS! A stripling to hold the country’s
finances in his hand; folly of almost
criminal type! A pity to tempt a young;
man into so perilous a position!
.. This was the general feeling, when
in 1893, James Herron Eckles, thirty
five years old, undertook, with its ev-
ery-plank dragged downward by the
mighty undertow of business depres-
sion, to steer our banking system
through one of the worst storms which
had everassailed it. But when, on the
first of January, 1897, Mr. Charles
Gates Dawes, only thirty—two years 01
age, succeeded Mr. Eckles as Comp-
troller of the Currency, there seems to
be no outcry or alarm. For four years-
a comparative youth has served in this
capacity more accep~tably~than 'had any
other man of any age for years. The
nation waits hopefully and confidently
for the second “boy” Comptroller.

CHARLES GATES DAVVES.
Mr. Dawes is the son of Gen. R. R.
Dawes, who is a member of the famous
Iron Brigade, and who served with Me.
Kinley in Congress. Gen. Dawes and
Major McKinley were also in the same
army during the war, and have ever
since been warm friends. Last sum-
mer, at the reunion of the “Iron Bri—
gade,” a‘t Devil’s Lake in North Dako-
ta, Gen. Dawes, disabled by an acci-
dent, was not able to respond to the
toast in his honor, and his son was
called upon in his stead. The unaf—
fected eloquence of Mr. Dawes, in re-
ferring to ihis father, moved the audi-
ence almost to the point of tears, an
example of the enthusiasm which Mr.
Dawes can arouse as a speaker.
Mr. Dawes, though his preference
and instincts all turned to business,
was educated for a lawyer. A—t nine-
teen, he was graduated, with honors,
from Marietta College. During his va-
cations in college and law school, and.
for a little while after his graduation
he secured the experience of a civil en‘
gineer by working with construction
parties in building railroads, and final-
ly became chief engineer of a road now
constituting a portion of the Toledo
and Ohio Central Railroad.
In 1887, he opened a law office in
Lincoln, Neb. Here, he frequently mel
William Jennings Bryan, between
whom and himself there exists, in spite
of their radically different political
views, a close friendship. Finding a
law practice hard to build up, and hav-
ing more heart for otherthings, Mr.
Dawes engaged, with capital advanced
by his father and uncle, in several 0!
the business enterprises of Lincoln, in-
cluding a national bank, of which he
was made a director; and, finding these
much more profitable than the law, he
practically abandoned the latter pro-
fession. '
TOURING IN A TROLLEY CAR.
Denver’s Unique \Vay of Showing. Visitors
the Tan.
A novel arrangement has been in op-
eration in Denver for some time past-
wihi-ch might well be adopted in other
large cities which have a complicated
network of street railway tracks run-
ning to every section of the city. The
institution referred to is nothing more
nor less than a personally-conducted
tour of the town in a trolley car. A
tourist company leases a number of,
open cars from one of the companies,
and by making arrangements with the
other lines for the use of their tracks
a complete circuit of Denver can be
made. .
The car makes one trip in the morn-
ing and another in the evening, going
the rounds of the hotels, where it picks
up the passengers. rl‘he trip covers
forty miles, and is made in about two
hours and a half. A prettily printed
souvenir is given to each passenger,
which illustrates and describes the sev-
eral points of interest, and'a guide ac-
companies each car and explains and
points out these as they are reached.
In this way, for the nominal sum of 25
cents, which is the fare charged, a. vis—
itor can see Denver without missing
anything and without fatigue.
itself is called “Seeing Denver,” and
has proved‘very popular.
Chocolate Cream.

of gelatine, put it into a basin and just
cover with cold milk; let it stand 2 or
3 hours.~ Boil lé‘pint of cream, and lé

gelatine, stir till it dissolves. Scrape 2

Enthusiastic Report of a
' Worcester Woman.
Mrs. L. J. Kirby, 280 Park avenue,
Worcester, who has suffered intensely
for several years with a terrible case
of nasal and pharyngeal cabarrh, and
chronic ulcerated sore throat says——
“I have had the "catarrh. for only
about three years, it. all coming on af-
ter a severe attack of the grip, but it
had progressed so rapidly that it had
become one of the worst cases I ever
knew about. Words cannot describe
what I have suffered from it A friend
who had tried and obtained great re-
lief from California Catarrh Cure rec-
ommended it to me and I sent. and got
a. bottleand commenced using it; I am
now using my second bottle, which is
the dollar size, and ,I could shout "its
praises all day long, that each and
every one sufiering from catarrh in any
form might obtain relief, for I have
had all the symptoms and know where-
of I speak. I had not been able to smell
athing, or get anything through my
nostrils for over two years until I
used California Catarrh Cure, and it
has stopped the dropping into my
throat and onto the stomach, which
had caused me so much trouble hawk-
ing, spitting, etc. I had a. very bad ul-
cerated sore throat, which it has cured
entirely. One ulcerated sore ate my
right tonsil all out, now it has all filled
up again. I had been under specialists’
treatment at the Worcester Hospital
for three months. but my throat grew
worse instead of better. I can now
4 speak loud enough to be heard across
the street, while before using Califor-
nia Catarrh Cure my voice had growu
very husky and my throat pained me
all the time. I could enumerate many
more ways in which C. C. C. has helped
me, but the above must prove to any
one that this isaruly the most wonder-
ful remedy of the nineteenth century,
and no one can say too much in .its
praise.” ‘

A FEW FACTS ABOUT PERFUMES.
Flesh of the Harem annritl- I‘m-mentor!
With Oders of Bill hing: Spica.
The costliest article of ancient cem-
merce was the heart of aloes. Not lilé
medicine, but the heart wood of the
sacred aloe tree, fragrant with endur-
ing and inexpressible sweetness,
treasure in which was paid the yearly
tribute of kings, a perfume so exqui-
site andesteemed that it was reserved
for the use of great potentates and
holy temples. ‘
Eastern women perfume their per-
sons with the smoke of burning spice:
till their flesh is penetrated with odors

the flesh of a harem favorite smells
like one of those tablets of pressed per-
fume familiar in every collection 01

onation feasts and civic triumphs like
those which graced the court 01

THE CALL FOR PORCUPIN'E‘Q'U‘E'ELS
Many Gross of Them Shipped to New Yuri:
‘ and London.
“What may those quills be?" asked
the writer, pointing to several small
bundles of black and white spikes,
which recently lay on the table of an
importing house in New York.
“They are samples of porcupine
quills,” said the merchant. They come
from India and also from Spain, and
are chiefly sold to fishing tackle
houses. These concerns polish and
supply them with the necessary pieces
of cork to increase their natural buoy-
ancy, and the quills are then purchas-
ed by anglers, who use them quite ex-
tensively for bottom fishing. Some 01
the black and white spikes are made
into penholders and pipe stems. They
are also largely utilized in making up
ornamental screens and fancy fans.
“The porcupine has to be hunted and
killed before the quills can be obtained,
and many thousands of these animals
are slain for this purpose yearly. Ev-
ery “spike pig” carries from $1.50 to $3
worth of quills on his fretful back.
The quills are carefully extracted, and
when dried they are packed in boxes
or crates and shipped to London and
New York. They are worth from $6
to $7 a gross wholesale, and the sup-
ply is barely equal to the demand in
this country."
