THINKING IS ACTING.
Psychological Argument by Prof.
James, of Harvard.

May Atlantic.
If, then, you are asked, I'm what does
a moral act consist, when reduced to its
simplest and most elementary formT' you
can only make this reply: You can say
that IL consists in the effort OF attention by
which we hold fast to an idea, which but
for that effort Of attention would be driven
out of the mind by the other psychological
tendencies that are there. To think, in
short, is the secret of will. just as it is the
secret Of memory.
This comes out very clearly in the kind
Of excuse which we most frequently hear
from persons who find themselves con-
fronted by the sinfulness or harmfulness OF
some part of their behavior. i never
thought" they say. II never thought how
mean the action was. / never thought Of
these abominable consequences" And what
do we retort when they say this? We say.
why didn't you think? What were you
there for but to hink?" And we read
them q moral lecture on their ineffective
ness.

Of S5-pound steel rails by the Balti-

Keep Warm by BreathIng.

The simplest way to get warm after
exposure to cold, says All He'll, Is to
take a long breath with the mouth
nrmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires a very short time to
do this. The long breath Quickens the
pulse and thus causes the blood to cir
culate faster. The blood flows into all
parts Of the veins and arteries and
gives out a great deal Of heat 1t Ia
stated that this method Of deep breath
ing prevents colds and great many
other ailments II begun in time.

The Deal Closed,

A Pittsburg dispatch of Monday
says: Henry A. Laughlin of Laugh
lin & Co. (limited), has concluded a
deal for iron ore properties on the
Vermilion range. The ore leases
were secured from the Oriental Graz
lite and Iron company, the North Star
Mining company. the Hope Mining
company and the Enterprise Mining
company at their annual meeting at
Duluth last week. The tracts includ-
ed in the deal number Ii and contain
about eight hundred acres of what is
supposed to be the choicest ore prop
erty ON the Vermilion. They are
located near this city.

Ely Done Up.

Sunday on the excursion train there
arrived nine young men from Eveleth,
Virginia, Superior and Tower, who
constituted what is known as the
Eveleth ball club, to do battle with
the home boys.
The Ely club in the process of for
nation Saturday afternoon. had ne
elected the very important point of
securing pitcher, a very necessary
adjunct to any base ball club. How
ever, on the excursion train was Chas.
Symons who was prevailed upon to
help out the Ely braves and thus far
all was we'll.
Game was called at $3.50 by Umpires
Chalk and Ingram, the Eveleth boys
going to bat first and scoring a run
in their half Of the inning. The Ely
club scored one in the second inning
while Eveleth was credited with
naught. In the third inning how
ever Eveleth pounded out four scores
to their credit while Ely secured
beautiful cipher.
Eveleth added one in the fourth,
nothing in the fifth and sixth, two
in the seventh, the same in the eighth
and in the ninth secured a goose egg,
making total score OF TO- Ely could
not overcome the strong lead secured
by Eveleth in the third inning but
skrimped out two in the fourth, two
in the fifth and rested until the ninth
when another lone tally was register
ed, making total of 7.
The clubs played fairly well consid-
ering the lack of practice on both
sides. Dooley pitched good game
for the visitors and it was plainly to
be seen that all the hard work done
| by him and McMasters won for the
Fveleth team. Symons did well in
the box for the home team although
occasionally he was hit quite hard.
Still, had the club given him support,
the game would have been different.
| The clubs as lined up were as follows:

Several Distinguished Visitors.

During the past two weeks there
have been on the VermiIion and
Mesaba ranges several parties of dis
tinguished visitors from foreign
countries looking over and studying
the methods of mining ores.
The English iron ore men that
finished their inspection Of ST. Louis
county mines a week or more ago,
Henry Moore, of Wickhaven, Eng,
. and Douglas jackson. of Scotland,
said to Duluth reporter on their re-
turn that England, as an iron and
steel manufacturing country, is
handicapped in its competition with
the United States in the matter of
prices for ore. He finds, for example,
that ore from the Mountain Iron on
the Mesab DID range can be laid down at
the Carnegie furnaces in PlttSburg
cheaper than the cheapest ore in Eng
land can be delived at the mouth OF
backs. such as high royalties, deep
mines which are rapidly becoming
depleted, LABOR restrictions and low
grade ores. The Brltisiers find that
it is much easier to mine ore here in
Minnesota, and that the expense is
much less than in England.
Another party which visited the
ranges was the japanese officials who
were on the ranges last week. In the
party is X. Hiraka, Il. Wanda, S.
Suruhara, q. Hayakawa. Il. Tatsuni,
a japanese journalist, S. Suzuki. All
the members of the party speak Eng
lsh quite fueuJly. MIR. Shiraski
said:
''Some of the members of our party,
myself among them. very much de-
sired to visit Duluth and Northern
Minnesota We had heard a great
deal Of Duluth and OF the large guam
Titles of ore and other commerce that
is handled here. In short we have
come, part of US at least, to observe
the methods employed in mining and
the systems in vogue FOR transferring
the ore from the trains to the vessels.
We have no in reductions to The repre-
sentatives of these interests here, but
have letters to the Carnegie people at
Pittsburg. We shall make tour of
your mines and observe the workings
of the iron aud steel business from the
removal OF the ore from the ground to
the finished product. We have a big
steel works just starting in our count
nv and it is the only one there. Japan
produces good iron ores and we can
procure other ores ed to our needs
i'm China. Our ores are all under
ground and are what you call hard
ores"
