Co., Boston, New Vorl MANY years ago, betore Mr. Opie P. Read had earned fame as the editor of the Artansatw Traveler, and as the author of several successful novels, he and another impecunious printer were engaged in the publication of a weakly weekly at a little town in Arkansas, They managed to live through the summer by sleeping in their office and by swapping yearly subscriptions and elaborate puffs for farm produce and patent medicines. But when winter came and they could not afford the extravagance of an all-night fire, the question of lodg- ings became a senously important one. For a time it looked as if the paper would have to be discontinued, while the editors tramped to a more congenial dime. But at last the genius of Read came to the rescue. There was a freight train going down the road, pass- ing through that town at 9.07 P. M., and there was a passenger train going up the road, passing at 8.15 A.M. In those days, long before Senator Cullom con ceived the idea of the Interstate Commerce Law with its clause cutting off free transportation, editors could get railroad passes to their hearts’ content. So Mr. Read and his partner, equipped with annual passes, good between all stations, slept in the warm caboose Of the freight train until they met the passenger train and then came back hone. ‘This they did every night during the entire winter, ‘and,” says Mr, Read, sign cantly, ** the trainmen often had more in their dinner- pails than they could eat."—dnalustan Magazine. STATISTICS show that ninety-five out ofa hundred men fail in business sooner or later, and the cases in which a firm sees fifty years of business life are extremely rare. Itis certainly then a noteworthy case when a house dates its existence back to the close of the Revolution, as do Walter Baker & Co., the famous chocolate and cocoa manufacturers of Dorchester, Mass ,who bepan business there in 1780, and for a hundred and ten years have made their productions the standard of purity and excellence all over the world. The immense increase in the con- sumption of their Breakfast Cocoa is largely due to their sagacity in setting and maintaining the standard of abso- lute purity in its production, thereby insuring its perfect healthfulness and the highest degree of nutrition, No chemicals are ever used in its preparation, but only the action of the cleanest and most exact mechanical pro- cesses upon the test materials; and at the Paris Expo- sition the gold medal for absolute purity and excellence was awarded to W. Raker & Co.'s preparations by the most eminent scientific authorities of Europe. “ Witat ridiculous names you have for your towns !
