OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Iron Ranges May Ship Seven
Million Tons Of Ore Il
Next Year.

Duluth Herald: A gentleman
who is closely identified with the
iron mlning industry Of Minnesota,
said to an Evening Herald report.
er today that he expected The
mines on the MesaDa and Vermll.
ion ranges would next year ship
I, coo, 600 tons Of ore, an increase
Of nearly 2,O0O, 900 tons over the
record breaking shipments Of this
year. He is not alone III this b..
lief. The ore railroads and the big
mining companies show by the
preparations they are making fo1
next seasons business that they
are anticipating heavier demand
for ore than was ever known, and
they are gettlngready to supply it.
The railroads are being generally
overhauled, tracks ballasted, grades
cut down and shipping docks en-
larged and otherwise improved.
New mines are being opened up,
and old ones improved to increase
their capacity. Not only will the
output be increased. but the price
Of ore will be better and the wages
~ ~.a
paid miners, higher. All Of this
will make the range towns grow
and prosper and as they are bene-
fitted just so much will the bust.

son finds his father in famine, as
Joseph found Jacob in famine, the
young people make it very hard for the
old man. They are SO surprised he
eats with a knife instead of fork.
They are chargined at his antediluvian
habits. They are provoked because he
can not hear as well as he used to. and
when he asks it over again. and the
son has to repeat it, he bawls in the
old mans ear: Il hope you hear til at.r,

ing of the Lord God of Joseph and

And here l would like to sing the
praises of the sisterhood who remained
unmarried that they might administer
to aged parents. The brutal world
calls these self-sacrifcing ones peculiar
or angular; but if you had had rs many
annoyances as they have had, Xantippe
would have been an angel compared
with you. It is easier TO take care of

OF one childish old man. Among
the best women of our land are
those who allowed the bloom of life to
pass away while they were caring for
their parents. While other maidens

and spreading plasters for the lame

catnip tea for insomnia.
As if to disgust us with unfi1ia1 con-
duct, the Bible presents US with the
story of Micah, who stole the LOO

OF Absolom, who tried to dethrone his
father. But all history is beautiful

Willard treated his father in the White
House. The old mans face was illu-
minated with the story until almost the
midnight. He had just been visit
ing his son at the capital. And I sup
pose it was something OF the same JOY
that thrilled the heart Of the old shep-
herd as he stood at the palace of the
prime minister. It is great day with
you when your old parents come to
visit you. Your little children stand
around with great, wide-open eyes
wondering how anybody could be SO
old. The parents can not stay many
days, for they are u little restless, ana
especially at nightfall, because they
sleep better in their own bed; but
while they tarry you somehow feel
there is benediction in every room in
the house. They are a little feeble,
and you make it as easy as you can for
them, and you realize they viii prob
ably not visit you very often-perhaps
never again. ION go to their room
after they have retired at night to see
il the lights are properly put out, for
the old people understand candle and
lamp better than the modern appara-
tbs for illumination. In the morning,
with real interest in their health, you
ask how they rested last night. Joseph,
in the historical scene of the text, did
not think any more Of his father than
you do of your parents. The probable
ity is, before they leave your house
they half spoil your children with
kindnesses. Grandfather and grand
mother are more lenient and indulgent
to your children than they ever We're to
you. And what wonders Of revelation
IN the bombazine pocket of the
one and the sleeve CT the other.
Blessed is that home where Chris
tian parents come to visit! Whatever
may have been the style of the
architecture when they came, it is
palace they leave. If they visit you so
times, the two most memorable visits
viii be the first and the last. Those
two pictures will hang in the hall OF
your memory while memory lasts, and
you viii remember just how they
looked, and where they sat, and what
they said, and at what figure of the
carpet, and at what door sill they part
ed with you, giving you the final good
by. DO not be EN- barrassed If your IA

"A1e VI Ilie LIN pGFOF i n9OQOSiQS SAID a
wise thing when She said: Husbands,
remember what you lately were, and

By this time you all notice what
kindly provision Joseph made for his
father Jacob. Joseph did not say: Il
can't have the old man around this
place How clumsy he would look
climbing up these marble stairs and
walking over those nosaics, Then, he
would be putting his hand upon some
OF these frescoes. People would Won

pomp, of flial affection and paternal
love, which leaves US so much in doubt
whether we had better laugh or cry
that we do both. So Jacob kept

What a strong and unfailing thing Is
parental attachment Was it not al
most time for Jacob to forget Joseph?
The hot suns of many summers had
blazed on the heath; the river Nile had
overlooked and receded, overhowed
and receded again and again; the seed
had been sown and the harvests reaped;
stars rose and set; years of plenty and
years of famine had passed on; but the
love of Jacob for Joseph in my text IS
overwhe lmingly dramatic. Oh, that is
cord that is not snapped, though
pulled on by many decades! Though
when the little child expired the par.
ents may not have been more than %
years of age, and now they are rs,
yet the vision of the cradle,
and the childish face. and the

tile lips are fresh to-day. in spite

very tender sorrow. What does that
all mean? Why, it means our children
departed are ours yet, and that cord of
attachment reaching across the years
will hold US until it brings US together
in the palace, as Jacob and Joseph
were brought together. That is one
thing that makes old people die happy.
They realize it is reunion with those
from whom they have long been sepa-
rated.
l am often asked as pastor-and
every pastor is asked the question
''Will my children be children ia
Heaven and forever children" Well,
there was no doubt a great change in
Joseph from the time Jacob lost him
and the time when Jacob found him
between the boy OF II years OF age and
she man in mid-1ife. his forehead de-
2cloped with the great business of
state; but Jacob was glad to get back
Joseph anyhow, and it did not make
much difference to the old man wheth.
sr the boy looked older or looked
younger. And it will be enough Joy
for that parent if he can get back tn at
son, that daughter, at the gate of
Heaven, whether the departed loved

are devoted to symbolical exposition
Of the triple alliance. The Prussian
eagle, the double eagle OF Austria and
the silver cross of the house of Savoy
appear on a red field, surrounded with
ivy and surmounted by the imperial
crown. Similar designs are introduced
at the corners and the -four colors" are
strewn over the card. The picture
cards are executed in corresponding
style. The king of diamonds is said to
have family likeness with the great
hurfurst. The queen of hearts appears
as n simple Gretchen and the knave of
