Armour as the greatest living speculator in real margins. Yet, surprising as it may appear, there is not one among- the financial kings of the country as ea.sy of access, appreciative of a joke, or more willing to help a worthy object than he is. In the gTeat LiuSallc street office the big millionaire bits at a massive plain desk.

ATCMOUH-over, a neatly equipped golden calf combines an eight-day clock as a center piece, and a large steer's horn, encased in gold, docs service as a flower -vase. When in Chicago the great packer can be found at his desk every week day before 7 in the morning, and his usual hour for leaving is 5 in the afternoon.

Between those hours, save a short time for luncheon, he is accessible to all on business, and responds to no call more willingly than that of charity. But while ho is always willing to assist the destitute.Mr. Armour has some practical ideas on this as in other matters. To educate the youth and help to mold the future man and woman he believes is far more benefl-cil to society than to attempt to reclaim those who have fallen by the -wayside in matnrer years, and the Armour mission is' conducted principally on that basis. Mr.

Armour can, however, probably be seen to beat advantage when in the presence of some smiling cherub. Be never so busy that he cannot spare a moment or two for the "little men and women," and rarely does ona of them leave the office portals without some pleasing token of toe visit. How Jdndly he thinks of the rising generation may be judged from the fact that the drawer of the big desk at which lie sits is never without a complement of watches and toys for his juvenile friends. A short time ago, in the midst of a busy talk with one of his wealthy acquaintances, the man whose minutes often produce an added' wealth in the thousands, was seen to go over to a modest-looking mother with a flaxen-haired tot at her knees. He stood there talking with the little one for fifteen minutes or moro.

and when he left the child held in its hands not only one of the watches but an envelope inclosing a keepsake in the shape of one of the "little bills" with the golden backs which occasionally line the vest pickets of the millionaire. Unlike many millionaires, Mr. Armour never forgets faithful employes. Always alive to their interests, he is never more so than when some affliction crosses their path, and practical sympathy with their bereavements he never fails to extend. Fond of home life himself, he takes ajpleasurc in aiding the legitimate ambitions of his employes, and he is never so gracious or happier than in the knowledge that some one in whom he has interested himself has rcuahed the goal of success and contentment.

Consequently it is not surprising that when he returns from some lengthened absence all the employes are eager to bid him welcome, and as he makes the round of the bijr office he extends a pleasant word to every one of his as he calls them. Mr. Armourlately reached his fifty-eighth rear, and though he has closcly applied ldmsclf to business for many years, there arc no wrinkles of care his massive forehead. Of late years he has been relieved of much of his business cares bv hjs two tons. Jonathan Ogden and PhilMp Jr.

the states of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia were the constant scene of conflict between the contending armies, and there was hardly a dny during the four years, when the sound of battle could not havu been heard in one or the other of them. They are, therefore, rich in associations, and the very mimes of the stations as they are announced on the tiains I passing through this historic region, call up memories of the terrific struggle took place there thirty years ago. Antictam, Harpei's Ferry, Manassas, Spottsylvania, Culpcper, Fairfax, Mar-I tinsbuirg and Appomattox rise up in re- view as we pas and Gettysburgh, the one great battlefield on northern soil is not far distant. It will be pleasure for the soldiers of the union to visit these scenes. Thousands there are, no doubt, who have not done so since the war.

And now, when the grand encampment is to be held at Washington, it will afford an opportunity to the veterans such as they have never had, to review the numerous battlefields of this region. In choosing a route to the encampment, care should be taken to select lines which pass over this historic ground. From the west, the Ohio Mississippi railway runs through car lines to Washington, in connection with Baltimore Ohio road, passing through West Virginia, Maryland and northern Virginia, with jiurimuurg, Anuetam, Harper's Ferry and Maryland Heights on the way, and forming the direct line to Gettysburg. Or, by taking the Ohio Mississippi Railway in connection with the Ohio Route, we pass through the very heart of the Old Dominion the scene of some of the most heaviest fighting of the war. No other routes to Washington can present so much of interest to the members of the Grand Army as these, and it should not be forgotten that from St.

Louis and the West, the OHIO MISSISSIPPI RAILWAY is their direct and best connection. For rates of fare, routes, time of trains, and further information, address A. J. Lytle, Gen'l Western Passeneer 0. M.

Her coming having been duly announced by a local the day after her arrival no less than live private carriages were placed at the lady's disposal, including drivers.

Shecould-not accept them all, but did not fail of an oportunity to drive out and see the very fine country about the town. Within forty-eight hours she had received no fewer tlmn fifty calls from iicoplc who came to pay their and who paid them with great generosity enthusiasm. But the crowning experience was to come. With another relative she attended a sort of Sunday school meet ing, intending to take a seat modestly at the back part of the house and hear what went on. Entering the hall the two ladies were beckaned to by an usher.

"This way, ladies." They followad him, and before they were fully aware of it were upon the platform close by the minister's side and facing the audience. The minister then proceeded to make an address, in which he eulogized the fame of the lit erary man and the virtues of his wife, ending by inviting her to address the children. But the Eastern lady, who was shy and retiring in disposition, could not even attempt to rise; perhaps her knees would not have held her up if she had attempted. She sat still, quite overwhelmed, with downcast eyes. There was a painful silence, which presently the minister broke.

"If, then' he said, "our friends do not care to address us, perhaps they will rise and give us a good look at them!" This was as hard a demand to fill as the other. The ladies sat perfectly quiet and there was another still more painful silence. There was nothing to do but go onVith the exercises. It was an awful experience for the lady from the East; but in spite of it she spent her time in the town very delightfully, finding the people warm hearted beyond all account, and the place attractive and interesting'. STATUE OF JOHN PLANKINTON It Will Boon Be Placed In the Rotunda of the Plnnkloton Hoaee.

The Plonkinton house at Milwaukee is about to receive a valuable memorial In the way of a bronze statue of the late John Plankinton, executed by H. Park of Chicago, better known as the Florentine sculptor. The figure is to be placed in the rotunda of the hotel where it will stand as a true likeness of Mr. Plankinton to greet the jruests of the house. The statue was ordered by the family of Mr.

Plankinton and has been executed with truthfulness and strength. Herewith is an illustration made from a photograph, whieh shows the natural and easy pose. The likeness is said to be perfect. The statute is over six feet in height. Great Kicker.

An emu can kick as hard as a horse. I have seen men kicked so hard by this vicious bird that their legs were broken. The emu stands on one leg and with the other strikes a quick and most paralyzing blow. I never -would have believed that a bird had such power had I not had ocular evidence of it during this trip. After two or three of our men had snffcrcd from the terrible kicks of these birds wc did not venture near them, but after running- our horsc till wc got close enough would bring them down with our rifles.

We did not approach I hem till wc knew they were dead. Wc killed them for their feathers, although they arc not so valuable as those of the ostrich. We also hunted for their eggs, which arc to be found in the sand, but in doing this we took care not to collide with the earn. thrt We noo't Got. Mock of It.

Ray ram is manufactured in Dominica from the dried leaves of pimenta acris. Ray rum is procured by distillation, and this in a very simple manner. The leaves arc picked from the trees and then dried. In this state they are placed in the retort, which is then filled with water and the process ot distillation Is carried on. The vapor is then condensed in the nsnal way and forms what is known as "bay oil," a very-small quantity of which is required for each puncheon of ram.

"Ate manufacture of bay nun is carried on at the northern end of Dominica and proves a very lucrative business to those engaged in 51, as the plants are plentiful in this district. IBB MJkXKnttTOH STATUS the AND WATCH RESULTS. Going to Do This Travel? A. C. ZIEMER, City Passenger Agcr.t, LINCOLN.

You give oats to a strong, vigorous horse with self-assurance of returning profit; you feed a worthless cur out of sympathy for his hunger or io be rid of his offensive whine. Railroads of both the horse and the dog class are pretty well represented in the west. The worthless ones make the most noise. You patronize the former with confidence in profitable returns, the other as you fling bread to the whining dog out of charity, or "to get rid of 'em." It's a matter of Business and Profit vs. Sentiment and Peace.

The cost is about the same, and you ought to have your choice. Do you ask where to put' your "Oats," or the "Crust of Bread?" You can easily tell by looking about a bit. J. FRANCIS, Gcii'I Passenger Agent. OMAHA.
