IRON r. TRUST.

An iron ore trust is being
formed in the North. The chief
interests in it will be the great
ore regions along Lake Superior.
from which the bulk of the ore
supply comes. The New York
Iron Age has this to say of the
movement
"The most interesting news of
the week is that a combination
of the ore men has been effected,
the Mesaba interests beng in
Guided. It is given out that it is
on very strong lines, a large sum
being deposited by the different
operators pledging themselves
to maintain prices, limit their
output 10 the tonnage that may
be agreed upon, etc. Following
closely upon the heels of this
statement comes the announce
ment that $40 has been agreed
upon as the price of ore for next
season. This has not been con-.
frmed. and those posted say that
figure is entirely too high and is
not warranted by present con-
ditions. Should it prove true
that ore will be 1920 for next
year, it can be regarded as GER
tain that coke will not be less
than 50 per ton"
The Mesaba range is in the
Lake Superior district. The
finding there Of large quantities
of ore very near the surface so
that it can be easily scooped up
by machinery cheapened the
product. This caused other ore
mines to reduce prices. Now a
combine is effected with the Me-
saba interests included. This
means higher prices for ore. AS
stated above coke will also go
up. 1t has been as low as 81 per
ton in the North and not as high
as 50 since 1890. All these adj
vances are sure to influence the
price of steel and irC1.
Meanwhile if the trust grinds
too heavily upon buyers and con
sumers the latter can look to the
; South for cheap iron, where they
must eventually get their sup
ply anyway.

CAUGHT THEM

When Mr. Larkin, the

came in yesterday to buy sup.
plies for their car, he remark
ell that this was the third
time that we had caught them
for supplies, and said further.
that he had been well pleased
with what he had had and
would stock up before leaving

HE HAD A sNoRIN0-RooM.
Late John A. Morris Enjoyed Seclusien
on His Own Yacht.

Late John A. Morris Enjoyed seclasisn
on His Own Yacht.
tI'm only a smooth-water sailor" the
late millionaire horseman, John a.
Morris, used to say. He had his yacht,
the Cora, named for his wife, built for
the shallow waters around New Or
leans, and found it almost totally unit
for the rougher element here. Its cab
ms were like the rooms in a house, and
all it's furnishings and equipments
were sumptuous. 1t was slow and roll
ing, says a writer in the New York
Times. but was good enough to go to
the races in. When in command OF the
deck Mr.. Morris made it a rule to con-
cede the right of way to every craft he
met. ''These people are working" he
would say, ''while l am only out for fun
It is my business to give way to them"
But, with his customary shrewdness, he
had another reason, which he never
mentioned by getting out of the
way of these people l make them my
friends. If anything were to happen
if the Cora were to run down a vessel
by any chance, these people would not
make much of a fuss o it. They
all know me and my boat, and never
give way, because they know l shall do
it." He snored like a bull. On the
deck of the yacht he built a snoring
room, where he could below and snort
without disturbing his guests. The
boat was stocked with the finest wines
and liquors, cordials, etc, but they
were for his friends. He never touched
them. He was the finest carver I ever
knew. He used the most wonderful
knife, and never was known to miss a
joint. When the Cora was at New Or
leans Mr.. Morris turned it over to his
young friends. Every day some young
lady would receive a note to h effect
that the yacht was hers h next day,
and as many of her friends as she cared

OLD SAMOAN WAYS.
Queer Custom of Tattooirg Among tn
Rran

0ueer custom or IattOOiER Among the
Nan.
The Samoans are physically a splen-
didly made race of a deep bronze color;
their hair is naturally black, but is con
verified by frequent dressings Of lime,
which have a bleaching effect, to a dull
reddish tint; this custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their :
arms and chests are specially well de-
veloped from their habit of padding
LONG distances in their canoes from
is@S.1d to island; in fact, at SO great dis
tahces from the mainland were these
natives seen by carly travellers, that this
group was christened the Navigator
islands. At this time, too, travellers re-
ported that the Samoans wore fine black
skeins reaching from the waist to a
short distance above the knee. This
report, though without foundation
In fact, was due to the custom pos
sessed by these people of tattooing
themselves after that fashion, covering
about the same part of the body an
would a pair of our bathing drawers.
AL the mel are thus tattoeed on ar
irving at maturity, says Westminster
Review. and are not allowed to take
unto themselves wives before the pain.
full process is complete. Regular pr
fessional t~attooers are found among
the people, and the t. ttooing often os~
cupies some months, as the patient
only u~ndergoes as much as he can bear
at each operation. The designs tat
tooGd are very ancient, and the present
generations are entirely ignorant Of
their s~igniication. This latter fact APP
plies also to the words Of their rowing
songs, which they sing in perfect har-
nony and in time to their oars or pad
dies; the words sung are now obsolete,
ard, like the tattooed designs, are not
understood by the people.

DR.. Herman Ahlwardt, the
German anti Semitic, who is now
in this country, should have
learned by the reception given
himinNewYork night before last
that there is no field for such
agitators as himself in this coun-
try. His mission is a hopeless
one. Such cranks as Ahlwardt
may thrive in Europe, but they
are not wanted in America.

ANECDoTE OF KING WILLIAM Nv
Orders r Sentry to Let an Old Man Smoke
In Peace.

In Peace.
The following story of a German
Diogenes is perfectly authentic. WherN
King Frederick William ". visited the
Rhine provinces in the year 1913 he
made a short stay at Vessel, where ho
called at the house of the oldest man
in his kingdom, aged n hundred
years. lie found him comfortably
seated in an old armchair, smoking "a
pipe-his inseparable companion. On
the kings arrival he rose to his feet,
and stepped forward a few PAGES, but
his majesty made him sit down again,
and talked to him with the greatest
freedom, the old man putting away at
his pipe all the time. When about to-
leave, the king asked him if he had
any wish that it was in his power to
crafty.
mo, thanks, your majesty, 1 have ALI
I want in the world" was the reply.
REALLY! just think for q momensS
we mortals have generally some palA
ticular desire or aspiration"
"WeIl. sir, now l come tt think of 1t,
l might have a favor to ask. My doctor
insists on my taking a walk everyday
on the ramparts. Every time l pass the
powder magazine the Sent1nel shouts
to me from afar: Take the pipe out
Of your mouth and as l walk very
slowly, my pipe goes out every time,
Now, If your majesty would be good
enough to order the sentry to let me
smoke my pipe in peace all the way, /
should consider it the greatest kindness
you could confer on me for the rest OF
my natural life"
The order vas given, and the old feb
low enjoyed the privilege for more than
two years, and died at last with the
pipe in his mouth.

Tom Reeds old seat in the

Tie New Republican Govern
or of Kentucky has appointed a
newspaper man as his chief OF

coed at once to spend $3.50 for a

ism offers no cure for the brass

In this land of free thought
and action every avenue AND
every privilege open or enjoyed
by other people is granted to the
Hebrew, and it is right that it is
so.' The outcry against the Jews
in the old countries is cowardly
and disgraceful, and it may be
sure that it is not going to be toll
Grated in this country. Ahl>
wardt's gospel of hatred against
the fundamental principles OF
Government, and what business
he has to come over here with
his unwarranted Interference is
difficult to understand.
The Republican outbreak
against Minister Bayard is very
amusing. Were it not for the
contemplate attitude in which i
would place our Government, ws
would like nothing better than
to have Congress endeavor to
convict Mr.. Bayard OF 'higl
crime and misdemeanor' for at
lacking McKinleyism in our tar
if policy. By the end of the i'm
parchment trial the projections
would have to come to realize
their unspeakable folly. AS the
case stands it only serves to give
deserved prominence to our Min
ster's admirable summary of the
evil influences of protection.
