L.G4L.Q., Ltavltt Big Things Expected of TREATIES THAT CHANGED MAP French Cnpltnl I're-Kmlnent In the History ot Faniona Peace Pacts. The French capital has been the scene of several peace pacts, some of which have had a mighty Influence on the des tiny of Europe. This remark applies with force to the agreemont which brought tho "even years war to a close In 1763. In tho course of this vfnr. In which the Eng lish and the French were the chief com haunts, England acquired Canada, and by Clive's victory at Plajsey established her position In India. Twenty years later Eng land signed a further treaty In Paris whereby she acknowledged the Independ ence of the United States. At the same time she made peace with France. Hol land and Spain, with each of whom. In turn, she had become Involved In war through her futile attempt to conquer the American colonies. Paris was also the scone of tho treaty which, In ISM, marked the conclusion of tho Crimean war At a period when The Hague has be come the synonym of peace It Is Interest ing to remember that at Ryswlck, a vil lage two miles from the Dutch capital, was drawn up the treaty which ended the eight years' war between William III of England and Louis XIV of France. In the courso of this war England achieved one of her greatest naval victories off Cape La Hogue, In 1691 Holland was destined to be tho scene, a few years later, of another treaty much more Im portant In Its bearing upon British his tory Utrecht, now known as a univer sity town, was the place at which Eng land reaped tho fruits of Malborough'a great victories over tho generals of Louis XIV, Here. In 1713. thero passed Into British possession Newfoundland, Novla Bcotla, Hudson Bay Territory and OJb rattar, Alx-la-Chapelle, the German city chosen as his capital by Charlemagne, Is Inti mately associated with the olose of more than one great conflict. Beautifully sit uated near the frontiers of Holland and Belgium, Its water attract thousands of visitors every year from many parts of Europe. A notable treaty signed here In 17(3 was that which concluUed the war of tho Austrian succession. In this war England successfully took the part of Mnrla Theresa, who, on succeeding to the donilnlons of her father, the emperor of Austria, was attacked by France, Prussia and Bavaria. More famous In tho history qt Alx-la-Chapelle is the congress ot 1818. This congress met to arrange the withdrawal from France of tho allies' army of occu pation, which hud entured that country on the downfall of Napoleon. Tho con gress was a brilliant assembly of sov ereigns and statesmen. The emperor Alex ander I of Russia, the Emperor Francis 1 of Austria and King Frederick Wll Ham of Prussia attended In person. The duke of Wellington and Lord Caatlereagh represented Great Britain. Three years earlier a congress had as sembled at Vienna- "Never before," says one writer, "had Europe seen such a col lection of rank and talent." The four allies Great Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia, who had united to secure the overthrow of Napoleon wero represented at this congress, together with the minor powers of Europe. The object of the as sembly waa to readjust the map In view of tho abdication of Napoleon. The escape of the latter from Elba and the subse quent battle of Waterloo largely neutral the Lng Nannies ized the decisions of the congress. Nowadays wo, hear nothing of Tilsit, yet every school boy knows the name of this town In east Prussia, situated on thq banks of tho Mcmal. It Is famous as the scene of tho treaty concluded be tween the Emperor Aloxander I of Russia and Napoleon, who met for the purpose on a raft moored In the middle ot the stream. The treaty, which created tho kingdom of Westphalia, Is notable as at testing Napoleon's supremacy over the German princes. Of treaties which have concluded great modern wars Zurich, In Switzerland, wit nessed that which effected the expulsion of the Austrlans from Italy and crowned the labors of Cavour and Gorabaldl, while Portsmouth, N. H., was the meeting place of those who arranged the conclusion of tho Russo-Japanese war. New York Times. SOME PORK IN PORK CORNER Recollections of Phil Armour's Knrly Tasslr with Stock Operators. The great thlcago pork corner which occurred In the 70' s, out of which the Armours were reported to have cleared over $30,000,000, was not. In the estima tion of those who profited by It, a cor ner at all. Tho late Philip D, Armour once gavs to the writer an explanation ot the trans action: "I never cornered the pork operators," said he. "They cornered themselves. The Armour brothers were manufactur ers ot salted pork. We bought the hog by the carload, killed and packed them, and sold to our regular customer throughout tho country. We had our warehouses filled with thousands of bar rels of pork that had cost us 19.60 to $10 a barrel to make. We were selling It at 313 a barrel. Some of our business rival? united with some speculators who had moro money than wit and they started In to 'Bqueeze the Armours. They sold pork for future delivery down jo 310. 38 and as low as $7 a barrel. When w.- could buy pork cheaper than we could make It we Just naturally bought It and kept buying It. AVe had some money and good credit and we took at 87 and 88 all the pork they offered. "At last these gentlemen woke up to CAPTAIN OF THE BELLE VUE COL LEGE TRACK TEAM.

Then they fled to cover and began buying. We would not sell them any of the real pork we had on hand. We needed that for our customers. But we had a few million barrels of wind pork that they had sold us for future de livery at an average price of 88.60 per barrel. We sold this back to them at a reasonable profit of about 100 per cent But while we held this option pork steady at $18 a barrel and would not sell for less, we continued to supply our reg ular customers with pork for consump tion at $18 a barrel. These legitimate cus tomers could buy no more pork of us than they had been In the habit of pur. chasing, and besides we had the barreli sold them branded 'Sold by Armour Brothers, for Consumption Only.' That made this pork non-deliverable on the exchange and didn't hurt It for retailing. You see we didn't corner anybody; we Just bought when prices were low and sold when they were high."

Is shown by an early Kansas Incident. Among the desperadoes and outlaws who used to rendezvous at Greenwood City, an abandoned town in Greenwood county, were Klnch West, Jack Tedford, Bill Holllman, Vld Farr, "Leather Bill." "William the Innocent" and many others. While these gentlemen lingered on tho classlo banks of the Verdigris the Texas authorities were offering rewards for them. At that time the reward offered for Klnch West was $10,000. About five years afterward he left the Verdigris and was Wiled at Fort Worth, Tex., by an officer who was trying to arrest him. One day Bill Holllman asked Edwin Walters, one of the leading citizens: ."Don't you shorthorns have what you call a Sunday school 7" "Yes, sometime?." "Why don't you start one here In Green wood City?" "You boys would try to break It up." "Not much we wouldn't. I've talked It over with them. They think It's too damn bad that there hain't no place to go on Sunday. You start It, and I'll 00 me and Klnch West will come. We'll shoot the first man that misbehaves," "But you must leave your six-shooters at home." "Can't do that. Some marshal or de. tectlve might git the drap on us." "Well, tell the boys to come out next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock." "No, let's have It In the forenoon; the boys will want to git drunk In the after noon." 80 10 o'clock was settled on, and Sunday school was organized. The behavior was splendid. The exercises were carried out enthusiastically, especially the singing. At the first two or three meetings the school was attended by men only; later women and children ventured out. This Sunday school flourished for years after the town had melted way. Kansas City Journal Vhe Persistent and Judicious IVe" of Kewsptper Advertising Is the Road t) liuslnesa Success.

"The acquisition of Frank Chance aa manager of the New York Highlanders Is going to make the American league far more prosperous during tho next few years than It has been for some time," said Charlie Comlskey, owner of the Chi cago White Sox, when he went through Omaha Friday cn his special train bound for Paso Robles. "Why." said Comlskey, "I can see the change at this early date already and every American league club manager and owner Is saying the same thing. Today I have every seat sold for the opening game In Chicago and I also have every seat sold for the first game the White Sox play with the New York Highlanders at Chicago. That Is going to be a gala day for Frank Chance and his numerous Chicago friends are planning a home coming for the peerless leader which he will never forget till his dying day.

Comlskey was high In his praises of the former Cub leader and said it ho had not had Callahan at the helm of his club he would have secured Chance for his man ager If It had cost him $50,000. "That fel low Is a born leader," said Comlskey, "and he can get more ouf, of his men than the great majority of managers. And take this little Up from me, Chance is going to turn out a real base ball team which will make the fans of New York sit up and take notice, and when the sea. son closes you will sea Chance and his Yankees near the top. Of course, he won't win the pennant, because I have that al ready won and tacked onto the flag pole In my park, but then Chance can have second place and I would like to see him get It." Speaking of his ovn team, Comlskey had nothing but good to say of them. "1 have the cleanest cut bunch of ball play ers In the country with me," he said, "and they will come home with the bacon." The "Old Roman" says he Is going to stay with the team until it returns to Chicago. He will accompany the first team on Its home trip.

The traveling salesman purposes no longer to be discharged by wire at sqma point far distant from his home office. Ho Is seeking legislation to prevent this and to compel his firm to call him to head quarters, where the official decapitation from his "Job" will take place. If the legislation sought Is passed by congresB, then the Jump-man who Irtds himself stranded beside a western water tank with no other remittance from his house than a simple telegram reading: "You're fired," can grin happily and wire back: "Refer you to senate bill No. . Send expense money Immediately." Then tho sales manager of the house will suddenly remember that times have changed and that, according to afct of congress, he must call his man In nnd pay him full expense before dispensing with his services. Mr. Dryfuss, who filed suit against-his former flm for $10,000, charging breach ot contract, nnd whom himself was "let out' suddenly and without warning, Is at the head of a movement Just formulated to obtain the enactment of a federal bill pro hlbltlng any firm from discharging Its traveling employes at any other point ex cept at the homo office.' A fund, towards which Mr. Dryfuss has contributed $500, has been established to push the bill, and th Wall street law firm of Guggenhelmer, Untcrroycr & Mar shall has been employed to draw It up. The bill Is to be presented. It was an nounced, at once. "Too many houses have acquired tho habit of firing their men when arey are on the road," Mr. Dryfuss said last night. "There are more stranded traveling men In the wilds than there are stranded actors. The practice Is Indefensible and we propose to see that It Is done away with." Chicago Inter Ocean. KAXIL O.
