New York, Aug. 22.-Centra1 Stamp
ing company, manufacturer of tinware
and sheet metal articles. whose office
is at 25 Cliff street and factories in

When the consolidation took place
the factories and equipment of the five
firms were leased to the company for
ten years at a rental of $4,000 a year
each. During the ten years the COM
pany did a very large and prosperous
business and claimed to have made a
large surplus At the expiration of the
ten years there was a disruption of the
relations between those in the COM
pany and Lalance & Grosjean and the
St. Louis Stamping company withdrew
and were followed by Frederick Haber-
man & Co.
The liabilities of the trust are said
to be about $500, 200.

NEW ROCK ISLAND BRANCH.
Texas Line Opens for Carload Freight
Business

The Rock Island freight department
here has received telegraphic advices
that carload freight might be received
for the new Texas branch of the road
to Jacksboro. Tex. This is on the new
line just built from Bridgeport, a dis
lance of some 80 miles.
1t is supposed that the building will
continue right along through the county
seat towns of Graham, Morton and Has
keH and probably further before the
season closes. This new line opens a
very rich country which is without any
railroad facilities, and will help largely
in developing that section. This county
IS a fine cotton country and also pro
duces all sorts of farm products and
live stock.

MADE LEARNED BY LAW.
Rebuke Administered by the Veteran to
the New Officers of the Court.
In the territorial days, before
Iowa had attained the dignity and
prestige of statehood, when the pop
ulation consisted almost entirely Of
pioneers and Indians and the terri
tory was a veritable terra incognita
to the far east, there was heard in
the United States district court
noteworthy bit of gentlemanly sar-
casm we'll worthy of repetition.
Gilman Folsom of the Iowa City
bar, wit, scholar and veritablo old
school gentleman, had occasion to
try case in that court before a
Judge confessedly young in years
and professional experience, who
had secured the place because of
political influence rather than on
account of his eminent fitness for
the judicial ermine. Opposed to
Folsom in the case was the United
States district attorney, who, like
the Judge, had been appointed for
political reasons instead of his abil
ity.
During the trial of the case Fol
som, with true professional cour-
tesy and politeness, continually re-
ferred to and addressed the district
attorney as ''my learned opponent. y
The judge was also characterized as
the ''learned court. - The district
attorney, fully conscious of his own
shortcomings and realizing the little
claim he had to the adjective, felt
instinctively that he was being
made subject of ridicule. He
fdgeted around until it seemed to
him that patience had ceased to be
virtue, and then appealed to the
court, asking that Mr.. Folsom be
required to desist in his persistent
sarcastic references to him as "my
learned opponent. -
When informed by the court that
his sarcasm was unnecessary and
uncalled for, Folsom looked up with
a well affected air Of surprise and
said, with the inimitable accent and
grace of the old school gentleman:
"I sahcastic9 Your honor, I did
not realize that I was sahcastic. I
said he was leahned, and he certain
ly is"
He then proceeded with his argu-
ment as though nothing had hap
pened, continually referring to the
district attorney and the judge as
learned. The judge soon interrupt
ed him and administered a stern re-
buke for his persistent sarcasm, tell
ing him it must cease.
Folsom protested, saying:
"But, your honor, I simply said
he was leahned, and I insist that he
is"
He then turned TO the United
States statutes and read to the court
the statute providing for the ap-
pointment of men who shall be
learned in the law as judges and at
torneys of the district courts.
Closing his book and removing
his glasses, he continued, $50, your
honor, you see that he is leahned-
not in the sense your honor is leahn-
ed, not in the sense I try to be
leahned, but from the fact, your
honor, that he is made leahned by
act of congress!''
No further objection was made to
his sarcasm.-Chicago Times-Her-
aid.

In the happy days Of boyhood.
Five and thirty years ago
Oife's golden age Of joyhood).
We built castles Of the snow.
In tho glittering drifts we quarried,
And cur mason work was rare
AS those mansions, many storied.
Manhood fashions out Of air.
Though our ramparts and our fosses
Might have puzzled old Vauban,
What cared we, the infant bosses,
For old fogy rule or plan?
Our outworks were the queerest
Ever reared by human skill,
But Of names we chose the dearest
Every fort was Bunker Hill.
How the parts Of British leaders
Went a-begging, one and ALL
How we all were earnest pleaders
For front places on the walli
Boys detailed for service foreign
Fell in line with clouded brow,
Each one clamored to be Warren
And none wanted to be Howe.
The battle--ah, we fought it
Not at ali by history's light;
s How the pesky English caught it,
How they always lost the fight!
In despite of. truth we chased them.
And, to facts entirely blind,
AS adown the hill we raced them
How we peppered them behind!
Thus we fought the fight Of Bunker's
In the days that knew no care.
Ere the snow we tossed, as younkers,
Time had sifted on our hair.
Now, alas, in the fierce battle
Wewage daily with the world
Harder shots against Us rattle
Than our boy arms ever hurled.
And tits not the generous tussle
OF the snow fort on the knoll,
But strife Of those who hustle
Not the body, but the soul,
And instead Of cleaning missiles
Poisoned shafts fly to and fro,
And we march DER CALLING thistles.

TOMS HEROIC RESCUE.
Yet He Got no Thanks For His Saving
Work at the Fire.

Yet He Got No Thanks For His Saving
Work at the Fire.
A man bearing the classic name
of Tom Jones had been for long
time the most enthusiastic unofficial
assistant which the volunteer fire
department of little Massachusetts
town had. He began his career in
the fire opposing line by rescuing
an aged citizen from burning
building, and ever after his special
ty was saving something, either
property or life. The fact that the
aged citizen was the meanest man
in town rather worked against
Toms receiving the credit for his
first rescue which was his due, but
this was gradually overlooked by
the better element, and Toms repu-
tation grew.
A few years ago fire broke out
in the dwelling of General S.,
which was the finest residence in
the place. It may be explained
that, though Tom had a very fair
experimental knowledge of a popu-
lar brand of state liquor, his infor-
nation concerning wines was Of the
most rudimentary character. 1t
may be added, further, that the
general was believed locally always
to have fabulous stock of the
choicest vintages on hand, a condi-
ton of affairs, by the way, which
caused many wagging of heads at
village tea parties and similar func-
tions.
On the occasion of the fire in the
generals house the fremen prompt
ly appeared, and Tom was one of
the first to rush into the building.
The family being all out, he turned
his attention to the saving of prop
erty. With Che flavor Of strong
concoction just absorbed at the vii
lage tavern still on his palate, he
naturally thought of the priceless
wines and was soon seen emerging
from the house carrying something
carefully wrapped in a small rug.
He bore it to a neighboring vacant
lot, put it down beside a tree and
proceeded to stand guard over it.
When asked by friends why he did
not return to the burning building
and continue his labors, he replied
in mysterious whisper:
"'Ssh! Got crate of the gen.
erals best wine here. Dasn't leave
it, for fear it gets broke or hooked.
You bet the general will thank me
for saving it and mebby he'll give
me bottle!''
So Tom stood over the bundle and
guarded it as mother might guard
her babe till the fire was extin-
guished. He then took it up ten
derly and approached the general,
who was on the outskirts of the
crowd, and was naturally somewhat
excited. Two or three bosom friends
of the rescuer, not unwilling to
share the possible bottle, trailed be-
hind.
Excuse me, general" said Tom,
"but knowed the store you sot by
your fine wines, so I just snatched
up few bottles and brought 'em
out. Had to watch 'em close since,
too, or some scalawag would "a
hooked 'em. Mighty smoky in
there bout then, I tell you, gen.
eral," and Tom folded back the rug
and displayed half dozen globular
bottles in a wire rack.
"Winel'' roared the general, look
ing at the bottles. "Why, you in
fernal idiot, you ought to have
thrown 'em at the fire! Those
things are patent fire extinguish-
