TO Him when She Was

One of the most delightful women in New
York is one who discarded her waist line
years ago She is built on the order of the
tub, but she has a genial and accommodate
ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself:
She had been TO the Catskills for few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that it takes you four hours to drive
up to and half an hour to come down from.
She was met at the nearest railway station,
she and half dozen others, by a stage that
set off up the mountain road. Ii was hot and
the stout lady had a kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered to get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged along as
far as she could Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out. She had
returned to the carriage another time, when
they came to still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
walk another step.
"Well," she said, I'm not going to get out
again. I'm too tired.
The driver turned to her with a look of
gratitude.
That's all right" he said. "Set still. I'd
lot rather haul you than heft you in and
out so often"
And he 'hauled" her to the very steps of
the hotel-M Y. Sun.

A SALT TRUST.
National Salt Company Said to Have
Almost Absolute Control of the
Country's Product.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 6.--The Free
Press says: The National Salt COM
pany, of New Jersey, capitalized at $12,-
100000, has secured control of the salt
industry of this state, and now has al
most absolute control of the salt prod
uct of the entire country. Seventy per
cent. of the Michigan salt manufactur-
ers belonged to the Michigan Salt as
ISOLATION, the output of which the trust
is purchasing outright. The plants
which did not belong to the association
were dealt with separately, and are be-
ing leased by the trust for period of
five years. These blocks throughout
the state which it is not necessary TO
operate are being closed temporarily,
perhaps permanently. The outside"
plants still retain the right to manu-
facture what is called patent medi
cine" salt, viz: A high grade table
product, with which the trust is not in
terested. 1t is considered likely that
the National Salt company will not
place manager in this state, but will
handle the product directly through its
agents. Nothing is known of the prices
paid by the combination for the Michi-
gan plants.
