Tin- Miiiliiay PrliniT C'Iiimk. Tlii' Lindsay 1'iimcr class assembled again 1 1 1 1 week fur fni'tlicr Instruction. Till' teacher found II neeessn ry to change tin' subject of the lesson because tin' papers had misquoted 1 1 1 it i 111 tlic first lesson. Following the Hound pedagogical truth Unit It Is never light to put anything before young mlnils unless In Its correct form, he innile the subject of the lesson bear upon the mistake spoken of. Children, you remember Hint In the Inst lesson I told you Hint our triumvirate wiih composed of Alil(ieh-Cun-non-Tnft and the initial letters spelled ACT.

You also recnll that I told you that the first triumvirate was composed of Cncsnr, CrnssuB and Pompey. Now, one of Hie papers made "Crus-huh" rend "CiihsIuh," Hie other "Croesus." Cassliis was once Caesar's I trusted friend, but was hl.i slayer nt last. I told you that the first triumvirate rested upon the wenlth of Cras-sus and that Is probably the reason that It was made to read "Croesus" In the other paper. This roesus was a very rich man away back there when Cyrus was king of Persia In the sixth century If. C.

Yes, to be "Croesus rhh" was something In Hie old days. but nothing compared with very many of our larlff-lriiHt promoted rich men. Take, for instance, our esteemed run-! temporary, John Itnckefeller, whose wealth we will roughly estimate at 400 millions of dollars, lie Is probably worth twice that sum. Now, children, yon all like to pile up your pennies or dimes or maybe some of you your quarters nnd see how big a pile they make. Now, we will pile UI John li.

Hollars toitny nnd look at the pile they make. I wont you to follow this little arithmetic computation carefully ho you will understand what the phrase "Rockefeller rich" Would mean If we should choose to use It. A standard silver dollar weighs 41214 grains. We will say that twenty weigh one pound. He has as many pounds of dollars nn twenty is contained times In 400 million, or 20 million pounds.

This again wilt be as many tons as 2.000 pounds Is contained time In 20 million pounds, or 10 tho-snnd tons. Now we will say Hint your fattier could haul one ton of these silver dollars In his wagon box; how ninny farmers would It require to haul Mr. Rockefeller's pile? The bright boy who sometime hopes to he a bank president If lie cannot bo president of Ills country, answers: "Why, ten thousand fanners, sir." You have answered that question entirely correct as far as figures are, LINDSAY LOCALS. The eo Dramatic club of the Holy Family church are preparing a play entitled the "Streets of New York," which they expect to give the evening of November 25 (Thanksgiving. I Dr.

A. P. Condon, the Omaha surgeon, came up from Omaha Monday night and, assisted by Dr. Walker, operated upon the sixteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

John Christen-sen for appendicitis. The boy, we are told, was In pretty bad shape before he was operated upon. A nurse accompanied Dr. Condon to take care of the case. The party experienced their first blizzard for this winter that evening.

The train did not arrive until midnight and then on the way to the home they lost their way and it was not until nearly daylight that they arrived. A new restaurant is talked of for Lindsay, Mr. Herman Finer having rented Mrs. H. M.

Paulson's building for that purpose. Dan Dieter, of Madison, was here Tuesday on a business deal. The passenger train due here at 8.1 a. m. did not arrive Tuesday until 1 p.

m. on account of the heavy snow. This is an unusual circum- stance at this time of the year. The farmers are anxious about the corn that Is not yet husked and are guessing whether it will melt or stay with us. A deal was made Tuesday whereny the livery barn changed owners twice.

Tony Weidner traded the barn outfit, Including the auto, to Fdward Happ and Is allowed $2,300 for snme. This applies on the purchase price of an eighty owned by Mr. Happ, which he sells to Mr. Weidner for $110 per acre. Later Mr.

Happ sold the barn to John Fngelbartz, but kept the auto. We hope Mr. Kngelhertz will niat((, tno lvory business ago. It cer- talnly can be Improved. K.

Johnson returned home from Primrose Monday evening. Howard Rohblns has resigned his Job as section boss here and is succeeded by Henry Holden, of Cornlea. John Foley, who has been running a threshing engine at Platte Center, came back to Lindsay Monday. Sam Reese moved his family from the section house to the country Monday. A pair of boy twins was born to Mr.

and Mrs. Hans Uuhl this week. This la the third pair of twins to bo concerned, but ten thousand fanners Would mako a very large crowd, my boy, and I am nfrald you would not lie able to comprehend how large. Probably If every fanner In Pintle county and In every county adjoining It, which you know are Madison, Slnn-lon, Colfax, Itiitler, Polk, Merrick. Nance and Itooue, would Just about make that number.

How glad they would all be If they nil had a ton of money silver money even. Then, again, there are In the great slate of Nebraska, In round numbers, ten thousand school teachers. How nicely they could supplement their salaries this year with a ton which would lie lei's see how many ilollnra It would Twenty dollars one pound, two thousand pounds one ton; hence, 211 limes 2,0011, or $111,000, "Teacher, do you mean to say that Mr. Rockefeller has that iinich money?" "Yes, children, I do mean thai he Is worth that much and probably twine that much. Our figures nre light nnd our estimates are conservnt Ive.

We have said twenty dollars for ono pound and about sixteen will weigh one pound. So you see that even In our compulation If Mr. Rockefeller wished to "endow" these farmers or "educators" lie would have a fine fortune left out of this discrepancy of four dollars to the pound. "Ami is he the only rich man In the United Stales?" Ah, my children, youth Is the time of Innocence and your tender explain much to me why you do not comprehend nil this. Many nil older head than yours falls to grasp these big truths.

ino, Mr. Rockefeller Is only one of the very rich ones. We may say that there are hundreds of others that could make a very respectable showing with John l. "And did they all earn their money by wor Yes. by work, but principally by other people's work and by laws lh.it gave them special privileges of graft.

D. Patton. There Is an atmosphere around the peculiar comedian, W. H. Patton, that signifies success.

There In something about him that asserts Itself In every cnaracter he creates. It Is the wonderful magnetism of Mr. ration's personality. It Is the force that reaches out over the footlights and compels admiration, by the artistic refinement twice the size of our own Nebraska, and he is doing it well, for they all appear prosperous, rosy-cheeked and' well fed. I am told that nearly all the large manufacturing corporations pay from 6 to 12 per cent to the stockholders.

The laborer does not earn as much as our laborers in America, but his living expenses are not as high as in America. I am surprised to find that I can buy In Germany many articles of American manufacture cheaper than in Columbus. This morning my sister bought a can of American tal- owdcr' which Sf'lls ttt 2r' in every town in America. She paid 17 cents for it from a German retailer. I now have some new ideas about that old fable of the foreigner paying the tariff tax.

"I am much interested in the way construct buildings in this coun- try. It is all so different from our way. In America we start at the beginning, or, as my fellow-sufferer, Pollock, says, at one end. Here they seem to start at the other end. The building bricks are much larger, and the quality is as fine as I hope my friend Karr will turn out as soon as he puts In that improved machinery In his Columbus plant.

And the plumb- ing It is so peculiar that were my friend, Dussell, to see it he would Immediately give all his men a half-holiday and swear to smoke cheroots no more. "America seems far ahead of Germany In many things, but in the mater of solving the liquor problem we are twenty-five years behind. One rarely sees a drunkard here. In Germany the liquor problem Is handled by men, while in America it Is often handled by a lot of women who could be doing better service for humanity if they would stay at home and occasionally cook a decent nienl for their husbands, or teach their daughters the secrets and the science of home life, and let their sons know what it Is to have a mother, instead of gadding the streets, or talking to city and state authorities about a question which women were never Intended handle. It seems to me that if could hnndle the liquor question 'America as they do In Germany, would have happier homes, not many drunkards, not so many vorces, and a happier nation.

Some Evidence That the Foreigner Does Not Pay the Tariff Tax. Our last letter from Mr. Herman Fricke gave some account of gay Paris. Now the writer sits in his own room in his father's house in old Hameln, r.erinanv nnd under the insniration of such surroundings he writes to the editor of The Telegram his impressions of the German people, their habits, their kaiser and their government. Mr.

Fricke's letter will be of such general interest to Telegram readers that we believe we ought to publish It, even without the specific consent of the writer, so here it is: "Dear Friend I wish you might be with me this morning in Hameln, in the very heart of the German empire, and view with me so much of interest, both modern and ancient. Here I am in the city of my nativity. It is the "City of the Ancient Piper," about whom all American school children h.ive read in their school books. It is I nearlv twenty years since last viewed this city, and while all the places of historic interest are still here, great progress has been made in modernizing the town. Many crooked streets have disappeared, and modern buildings have replaced the quaint structures of the olden days.

All the streets and walks are paved with as-phaltum. There are many beautiful parks and boulevards, all brilliantly lighted by gas and electricity from plants owned by the people of the city. Chief among the industries are machine shops, auto and sugar fac tories. "Many Americans have entertained' the belief that Germany is a stagnant, slow-going nation. That's a mistake.

I entered Germany from Belgium, and at once noticed a splendid manufacturing activity, the whole Rhine province fairly bristling with smokestacks, and every factory running over-time. On entering the cars at Cologne I remarked to a fellow-passenger fa Russian) about this Intense activity. He said the answer la the kaiser and I believe It. One can see the hand of the emperor everywhere. He Is running the business as well as the nillli-tary end of the empire.

He Is sup porting nearly sixty-eight millions of people in a territory a little more than i 1 i.
