""EOItUE Campbell i'urson, aui'd

Thus oue popular belief is sus

npiIE popular belief that is sus

cerns the heaillessness of great

Some of the nation's greatest
copper companies seized upon the
old miner's invention readily
enough and proHted greatly by the
use of it, but refused to pay for it.
They refused to pay because, they
claimed, It embodied an old prin
ciple. WELL, what if it did? By reviv

ing it to their attention, thus en
abling them to cut their costs and
Increase their profits, George
Campbell Carson would have per
formed for them a service for which
they could have afforded to pay
liberally.
nut, instead of taking this liberal
view of It, they chose to say: "Tell
the old boy to chase himself
around the block. We'll use his
scheme, and if he thinks he can
make us pay him for It lot him
try." ,
THE other popular belief, to
which violence is done by Car
sou's experience, is that penniless
Inventors never reap the profits of
their inventions.
This rule, far too often, holds
good, but it has exceptions. A de

this country if he goes about it in
a determined way.

"I will send Mary Jane to school

The girls were suspended for be

near here. Stallings was Git years
old.
Death came after an Illness of
several months which had forced
his retirement from the manager
ship of the Montreal club of the
International league.
Stallings was given the name of
the "miracle man" In the baseball
world after his remarkable record
In 1!H In leading the tail-end Bos
ton Braves to the pennant and the
world championship.
That memorable triumph was
achieved In a ten weeks' baseball
marathon, during which the liraves
passed all other entries, shattered
the hopes of the Giants for four
straight pennants and closed the
season In Trout with a margin of
ten games. The Braves' four
straight victories over the Athlet
ics In the world's series marked
the first time the series had been
confined In that number or games.
Stallings began his career In pro

the Boston Braves won the world's
championship In 1!U4. proved one
