BIRTHDAYS seem to make little
difference to James J. Hill. "The
Empire Builder," of" the Great
Northern Railway, who celebrated his
eeTenty-fifth birthday last Tuesday
when he and a group of men who had
been In his employ for more than 25
years g-athered at Glacier National
FarK and maae nappy tne occasion.
There weie many speecnee and other
felicitations, but the tribute that
seemed to appeal to the gathering more
than any other was the letter ad
dressed to Louis W. Hill, son of "The
Empire Builder." by Governor 8. V.
Stewart, of Montana. His message
was as follows:
"Dreamers we have in plenty and
they have their place in ine eiernaj
scheme of things, although they can
not play the greatest part In the Na
tion's upbuilding:. Practical men wt
have and to them It Is given to have a
large share in the things that make a
country great. But there is that rarer
combination of dreamer and practical
man, of whom we have all too few.

once in a generation, and though he be
born In the humblest circumstances he
is yet born with that which Is infinitely
better than the traditional golden
spoon In the mouth.
Dreams Backed by Faith.
"Thrice blessed Is the man who,
dreaming- of works that shall trans
form the wilderness into a populous
and prosperous state or sisterhood of
states, is able by reason of an indomi
table perseverance and an undying
faith to make his dreams come true.
Such a man was and Is James J. Hill,
who Is this day being honored by the
men who have known and Worked with
him for the past quarter of a century
and longer.
'Half a century ago it was given to
this man to dream dreams, and see vis
ions that could not come to the ordinary
man. In his active young brain there
was a radiant vision in which a waste
then peopled largely by the Indians
and the buffalo was forced to give way
to civilization and all of the works
that go with it. He no doubt often
found himself alone in his belief in the
immeasurable possibilities of the great
Northwest when it was essential that
he should have the confidence and the
assistance of others In the development
of his gigantic plans. But he held on
true to his course, and the faith that
was in him.
"Cast In an heroic mold with the un
quenchable courage of the vikings In
his soul, this grand old man of the
Northwest dreamed of colossal thinss
he could and would build. Across a
desert he threw his bands of steel, con
fident that time would richly prove the
wisdom of his course, and it is cause
for rejoicing that he has been spared
to read the realization of his visions
In the great cities that have grown up
In the Northwest, . in the magnificent
development of the fertile lands of this
section of the country and in the
countless happy homes that have been
established within the life-breadth of
this Prince of Dreamers.
Title Worthy One.
"Small wonder then that to him has
been conceded pre-eminently the title
of 'Empire Builder." James. J. Hill has
been the towering figure of his time
in our wonderful section of the Union
and he has left his eternally-ineffaceable
imprint upon the Northwest as a
v.-hole. It is a pleasure to extend to
him my felicitations upon the 75th an
niversary of his birth. His co-workers
honor themselves in thus honoring
their chief. I should be glad to be
present, but official duties of pressing
Importance make it impossible for me
to do so. I desire to express to Mr.
Hill my hearty congratulations and to
wish for him still many more years of
happy activities in the work he loves.
The Northwest needs him and the
Northwest shall always feel something
more than pride in the man who has
played so signal a part In its development."
3-DAY BABY WINS FIGHT
Youngest Worker for Temperance
Makes leather First Victory.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Chicago's
youngest ' champion of temperance
achieved her first convert when she
caused her father, William White, to
promise to confine his drinking to a
pint of beer a day.
White and his wife were arrested in
their home in the rear of 6319 Cot
tage Grove avenue. The temperance
advocate just had to come to live with
them, for she was only 3 days old.
"1 had been drinking a little," the
father told Judge Sabath when he was
arraigned, "but I promise never again
to overdo it. You see, I was out of
work and discouraged."
Investigation proved that White and
his wife were almost without food.
The judge offered the man a bill.
T can't take It, your honor," was the
response; "I am just as capable of
earning money as any man. And I
mean to Jo it, too."
To aid him Judge Sabath ordered
that the father henceforth confine
himself to a pint of beer a day or give
up the custody of the baby. White
pleaded for a quart allowance, but the
judge was firm.
"A pint it is, then," the man said.
"This little girl has done the business."

NEW YORK, Sept. SO. (Special.)
Dean C. Worcester has Just re
ported to the ' War Department
that native Filipinos are sold into
peonage Just as they were beforo the
United States Government took charge
of Philippine affairs.' Dean Worcester
is the Secretary of Interior of the
Philippine Insular Government and has
been since 1901. . He was formerly a
professor at the University of Michi
gan. It Is expected that President
Wilson will make changes In the Phil
ippine Commission soon.
Bishop David Hummell Greer is seen
In his robes. He is in the news in
connection with charges made recently
by Rev. George C. Richmond against
high church officials catering to the
wealthy. Bishop Greer was born at
Wheeling, W. Va., in 1844. He became
Bishop of New York on the death of
Bishop Potter in 1908.
Prince Nicholas of Thurn and Taxis
is visiting this country and may de
cide to live here. He is a descendant
of the man who founded the postal
system of the Roman Empire and was
ennobled for his services. Although
the family surrendered its contract for
carrying the mails for Germany many
years ago, it was only recently that it
gave up the privilege of sending and
receiving letters free. Prince Nicholas
who is a manly looking young chap,
is a great believer in the dignity of
labor and he has started out to make
his own living in spite of his title.
Possibly Cupid has something to do
with this decision, for the Prince
created a sensation recently In Ger
many by announcing his Intention of
marrying Carola Rechberg, who is ap
pearing in operetta at Munich.
A conspicuous figure in the Thaw
case was Sir Lomer Gouin, Premier of
Quebec. He is a native of Quebec and
was educated at Sorel and Levis. He
was admitted to the bar In 1884. He
became a member of the Provincial
Parliament in 1897 and became Minis
ter of Colonization and Public Works
iu 1900. He was made a knight In 1908.
He has been Prime Minister since 1905.
Ludwlg Fulda, the eminent German
writer, is coming to this country to
lecture. Arrangements to that end were
made by Professor Tombo of Columbia
University while in Perlin lately. He
will sail for New York about the mid-
ft
7 $ ' v
die of October and will lecture under
the direction of the- Germanlstlc So
ciety in cities from New York to San
Francisco. He has engagements al
ready in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Seuttle.

2 'WIVES' OF ONE MAN KISS
First Spouse Returns to Old Home
After 13 Years' Absence.
CHICAGO, Sept., 15. Lillian Shelton
returned to Marseilles. 111., to visit her
husband, whom she had not seen for 13
years. She saw him and she saw his
"new" wife.
There was no hair-pulling. There
were no bitter reproaches or harsh
epithets. Instead, there were kisses and
handshakes and exchanges of good
wishes.
Both wives expressed joy at the meet
ing when the first surprise was over.
They patted him John P. Shelton on
the back and agreed that he was a per
fectly good husband. The three of them
passed a pleasant evening visiting.
Wife No. 1 came back to obtain her
husband's co-operation in obtaining a
divorce decree from a Chicago court.
The husband is the plaintiff and the
charge ix desertion.
Wife No. 1 deserted her husband and
ran away to Chicago 13 years ago be
cause she did not like living in such
a small town as Marseilles. She longeT
for the bripht lights and the big noises.
John searched for her a long time, out
gave it up when he read In a newspaper
of the death of a Mrs. Lillian Shelton
in a rooming-house In Kansas City four
years airo.
He believed his wife was dead and that
he was a widower when he went
through a marriage ceremony with Mrs.
Glassell Holllday, a widow, several
months ago. He was as surprised as
his new wife when the real one walked
in upon them.
At the close of their visit the two
"wives" pledged their friendship and
promised that they would bo each
other's bridesmaids in the two wed- .
dings that may follow a divorce. Shel
ton intends to remarry wife No. 2 when
the decree is granted, and wife No. 1
hinted that she had matrimonial Inten
tions also.
PRETTY EMBROIDERY DESIGN FOR COLLAR AND CUFFS GIVEN
O Cr BUTTON-HOLE. , SATIN J I vj
AND EYE! LET STITCHES r
fi""""Vv . tfLSglMM t

This attractive design may be worked eith
er In solid or outline with buttonhole edge.
Detail drawings show methods of working.
There are two ways to apply the design to
the material upon which you wish you wish
to work It.
If your material Is sheer such as hand
kerchief linen, lawn, batiste and the like
the simplest method 1 to lay the material
over the design and with a well-pointed pen
ill draw over each line.
If your material Is heavy, secure a piece of
transfer paper or impression paper. Lay It
face down upon this, then draw over each
line of the paper design with a bard pencil
or the point of a steel knitting needle. Upon
lifting the pattern and the transfer paper you
will find a neat and accurate Impression of
the design upon your material.
There are two points to observe In this
simple process if you would execute it satis
factorily. One Is to see that your material la
level cut and folded by a thread and that
your design Is placed upon It evenly at every
point.
The second Is, when placed accurately, se
cure the design on the material with thumb
tacks or pins, so It cannot slip during the
operation.
Do not rest your hand or fingers upon any
part of the design you are transferring, else
the Imprint of your fingers will be as distinct
upon the material a the drawn lines of the
design.
