The New York papers have recently had congiderable to say about a new buflding .which when finished will be the third tallest in the world, which is | soon to be erected at Broadway and Park place in the metropolis. It will have 45 stories and be 625 feet high, more than a dozen feet higher than the Singer building, Uticans have more than ordinary Interest in this new structure because it is to be erected by Frank Woolworth, who made fame and fortune through his % and 10-cent stores and because his first venture in that line was made in this eity. The new structure, which will cost $5,000,000, will be called the Woolwarth building, and the man whose name it bears has the money to pay the bills. He made it it of the § and 10-cent stores, of which he now has 286, and there are about 9,000 people in his employ, and Woolworth himself is not much more than 50 years of age. His career is like that of many another American and is typ- ical of this country. Frank Woolworth was born on a farm in Jefferson county, in the north- ern part of this state, and though his father insisted that he should be a farmer the lad refused and when he was old enough secured the chance to work for® nothing in a Watertown dry goods store and at the end of three months he was getting $3.50 per week and at the end of six years his salary was only $10 a week. He had the idea he put it into operation, store in Utica in February, first bill of goods, which, though yellow with age he still pre- serves, was for $322.14, and when the Utica landlord demanded his $30 a month rent in advance, it came near to breaking the proprietor. The story of the growth of the Woolwerth stores is more or less familiar. Woolworth added industry pluck and perseverance - ,ability. He liked the mer- ‘lnt:i it was his heart's entire | BAD DREAMS Nightmare, Restlessness and ightsweats all Caused by Indigestion. Half of the nervousness in the world, all of the disturbing dreams and night- mares can be ended in a few weeks by a simple, inexpensive treatment guar- anteedsby The Lee & Osgood Co. Upset stomach is the cause of nerv- ousness and bad dreams. Your food is lying in your stomach undigested and fermenting; it is forming poisonous gases which irritates the pheumogas- tric nerve that leads direct from the brain, and ends in a network of tiny branches running through the stom- ach. it is also the irritation of this great pheumogastric nerve that causes head- aches, Many times people have severe headaches and know they are caused by the stomach, but do not know how. If you are nervous, have dreams or nightmare, and do net sleep sound at night, get a 50 cent box of MI-O-NA stomach tablets and take one or two after or with meals. MI-O-NA stom- ach tablets relieve distressed stomach in 5 minutes. Sold by The Lee & Osgood Co, and druggists everywhere who guarantee MI-O-NA to cure in- digestion, or money back. Woolworth was 21 years old his finan- cial capital was just $50 and now it is many millions, which he has made with his own hands in less than 35 yvears.
