STEEL TRUSTS RIVAL,
Western Concern That Has Properties
Extending 1000 Miles.

Western Concern That Has Proportios
Extending 1900 Miles.
The billion dollar steel trust has a
lusty rival in the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, the greatest industry
west Of the Mississippi This company
now owns and controls nearly 400 900
acres of coal land and 5000 acres Of
iron ore. With its great sceel works at
Pueblo, Col. 1t is making a second
Pittsburg Of that city. 1t employs 49,
600 men, representing, with their fami-
lies, one-tenth of the population Of
Colorado. The income of this COM
pany last year was S13,O00,OOO and its
expenditures a tritle over $4,000, 900.
1t takes over s5O0,O0 every month to
satisfy the demands Of the payroll.
Commencing at Sunrise, Wyo., its
properties form chain 1900 miles
long to Fierro, N. NJ The links Of this
chain are 28 coal mines, nine coking
plants with $500 ovens, and at Pueb-
10, Col, and Laramie, Wyo the only
steel plants between the Mississippi
river and the Pacific coast In addi-
company owns $4,000 acres Of grazing
land and about 1000 Of the town lots in
the city of Pueblo. In addition to fur
nishing a vast tonnage for several
transcontinental railroads the com
pany operates 100 miles of railroad Of
It's own. From its coal mines the c.
e. & l. marketed last year over 4,00O,-
600 tons of coal, or 70 per cent Of the
entire production in Colorado. Last
year it produced $4,000 bushels of coke,
or 80 per cent Of the product of the
state, and hundreds Of new coke ovens
are now in process Of construction.
From its steel mills 72S,O0O tons were
marketed, and orders were refused for
over 25O,000 tons more. The G. f. & l.
company has grown to what 1t Is with
a capital of S25,GO000O. 1t has recently
increased this capitalization to $4O,-
100000 by the issue Of S15,O00,0 600 Of 5
per cent bonds, with a like issue of
common stock to redeem them on de-
mald. The SIS 100000 is to be spent at
Pueblo enlarging the steel plant to
capacity Of 100000 tons of finished
product each year. The new mauufac-
lures are to be tinplate sheets, wire
nails and other profitable products OF
like character. These new mills will,
It is estimated, Increase the value Of
the output Of the con- pany by 200 per
cent.

squnre Men,

In the mountains of Berks county,
Pennsylvania, where Dutch shrewdness
matches Dutch thrift, the proprietor OF
a hotel was bargaining for a supply OF
chickens. Now, look here, Fred" said
the hotel man familiarly to the farmer
don't you feed them chickens before
you bring 'em here, and don't you let

Ruth was The happiest, rosiest, cum
aingest little girl in the world and
she had a dear papa and mamma and a
nice yard to play in, and she just loved
everybody and everything and had a
regular story hook time all her life
just because she was so happy. One
day it was so hot she couldn't even
enjoy her nice play ground which was
arranged for her special amusement.
Here were roses and violets and lady
shippers and Johnny-jump-ups and
ferns, and a great swing that carried
you most to the tops of the trees. and
a hammock, and a fountain, and sand
pile with cart and bucket and shovel.
Ruth tried the sand pile, but IL was too
hot, and the gravel walk was dumpy-
but II was too hot. Ruth looked almost
unhappy, as near it as she could. then
she looked up at a dainty pink rose
swinging from its long stem, and while
hardly thinking said: Il wish / was
pretty soft rose, all pink and dewy,"
and do you know, this just happened
TO be the longest summer day. |hen
the things that you wish come true. il
you only say them out loud. Most be-
fore the words were out of her mouth
Ruth found her little slippered feet
growing together and turning green
and getting covered with prickles Just
like rose stems, then her hands and
arms made more branches and moth
ing was left but her face and her pet
ticoats, way up in a rose bush dancing
with the other blossoms, the sweetest
rose Of ALL and Ruth, she couldn't re-
member when she had been so happy
All of sudden there was a great buzz
and bump, and a horrible great big bee
came and sat right down on Ruths
cheek. She tried to scream, but she
hadn't any voice, and she hadn't any
hands; what should she do? Just then
Ruth's mamma came down the garden
walk, with her rose shears in her hand.
and made straight for Ruth, and what
do you think Ruth's mamma did?
After looking over all the other roses
she put her shears on Ruth and said:
II will cut this for James. 1t is the
very prettiest of ALL" ald then she cut
Ruth of just where her ankles were,
only it did not hurt one bit. James" |
was Ruth's papa, and mamma always
had rose at his place for him. Ruth
could think Of nothing lovelier than to |
be her papa's rose, and when she |
thought how astounded papa would be
to find his Ruth in his napkin she |
laughed right out loud. That's my |
dear little girl" her mother smiled at
her, bending her sweet face down to
Ruth's. tits almost time for papa to
come. We must get ready for dinner"
And the first thing Ruth knew she was

band
But the strangest thing Of ALL when
hey went to dinner there Ruth was on
)apa's napkin; she gave a joyous little
,ry and said, "Oh, papa! See me!
Don't you like me for a rose on your
lapkin?" Her papa said she was

Hope springs eternal in the breasts
Of many yislonaries, who imagine
that they may get possession some
day Of enormous estates in England.
The latest deluslon Of that sort is
inspired by a ridiculous fable to the
effect that in the British Court Of
ChaEcery property amounting in value
to more than S2OO,OOO,OOO is awaiting
proofs Of descent to be submitted by
American heirs who base their claims
on a lineage going back to an English
ancestor dead some two hundred
years. How wild and fantastic are
the dreams Of such Americans!

The hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" which President Mckinley
murmured in his dying hour, was writ
ten by Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, who
was born in 1905. 1t was a record Of
her own religious experience, and was
written as a memorial Of answered
prayer probably without any expecta-
lion that it would be Of public service.
IL was furnished, with thirteen other
hymns, to Charles Foxs "Collection
Of Hymns and Anthems" published in
London in 1S41.

Deer come Home With Cows.

Deer are getting so thick and tame
in the Adirondacks they come home
with the cows at milking time. At
least this is what occurred at Owls
Head the other day, a little village
only ten miles south of Malone. AS
a resident there went out to look after
his cattle he was surprised to find a
deer in the yard among them. After
putting up the bars he soon returned
withl his rife, but thinking it would
seem like shooting his favorite cow
that was penned up he lowered the
bars to give the animal a fighting
chance The deer did not appear
frightened, and when the would-be
slayer had walked up within ten feet
he banged away, but must have been
badly affected with "buck fever" for
after firing three shots, the deer bound
ed away into the fields and disap-
peared.-Malone Farmer.

The French Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science has had recent
ly added to it a section Of odontology.
This movement is n direct outcome Of
the International Dental Congress held
in Parl- last year. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that the science Of
odontology is not the art of dentistry,
but the department of biologic study
which concerns itself not only in the
study Of the teeth of man, but also
of all other animals. OF course the
study may be both comparative and
pathologic, just as we have the study
of pathologic and comparative anat-
omy.

Kites have been sent up from tho
Blue Hill Observatory carrying self
registering meteorological instruments
TO a height exceeding three miles, and
valuable data obtained as to the condi-
tions existing in the upper air. But it
is not practicable to elevate kites to
such attitudes unless the wind is blow
ing at least twelve miles per hour and
the observations must, therefore, be
discontinued during calms. DR.. Rotch
has lately employed a tugboat going
ten miles an hour to raise his kites
above Massachusetts Bay, and the re-
suits are so satisfactory that he now
proposes to try the same method on
one Of the transatlantic steamers. OBJ
servations Of the sort would be especi-
ally valuable along the earths equator

The special explorations for fossil
horses by the American Museum have
been completely successful. The Tex
as expedition in July secured eight
skulls Of Protohlppus with portions Of
the skeletons associated. They are
all in a hard matrlx and somewhat
crushed. The Colorado expedition has
secured a complete skeleton, in a per.
feet state Of preservation Of the large
Upper MiOcene or Loup Fork horse.
This Architherium Is the first complete
skeleton of a horse of this period
which has been found in this country.
The explorations in the same region
seem to demonstrate that there were
four distinct types OF horses, almost
contemporaneous. 1t has been report
ed also that the Carnegie Museum Sc
cured some very complete horse skele-
tons, but these prove to belong to

The Colorado Cliff Dwelling Associa-
tion is endeavoring to preserve the
ruins which lie on the Mesa Verde in
the southwestern corner of Colorado
Here are more than 800 cliff dwellings
including the noted Cliff Palace" All
of them are in the Ute Indian reserva-
tiOn, and a ten years lease has been
made direct with the Indians, since
neither the general Government nor
that Of the State can control Indian
lands. The association is now in
charge Of the ruins and proposes to
open a toll road to them, using the
tolls as part payment of the rent. The
ruins are to be protected from wealth
ering and from the depredations Of
relic hunters.

For a great rlany purposes the me-
neurological station on the top of the
Eiffel tower has proven of great value
because of the great height, but a curl
Gus condition has been noted here, and
that is that it is impossible to get any
record Of the rainfall at this point the
gauges placed for this purpose refus-
ing to perform their usual mission.
This is explained by the statement
that at this height the wind is always
so great that the rain drops do not fall
as on the earth's surface, but are
blown in an almost horizontal direc.
ton. All other observations taken
here have been most satisfactory.

There are two types Of men who
are to be seen on the streets every
dav, says the Appleton Post. One
type is the man who was never known
to do a days work, whose wife keeps
him by taking in washing, sewing,
etc. The other is the honorable re-
tired farmer or dealer, who having
worked hard for many years, has Sc
cured competence anu Is enjoying
season OF rest. 1t is easy to distin-
guish between the two types, for the
man who never worked can generally
be heard imparting information to
the other-giving him pointers how
this or that should be done, how to
farm, how to make money, how to do
anything he himself has never done.
He it is who. can see every scheme in
every move for the public veal, and
can give his quiet friend pointers on
this and that mans business and fam
lily. He is bad thing to have in a
town: he stlrs up more dissention and
broils than any other element, but all
towns have him.
