his life as a simple hog dealer. The
title Of hog dealer would have been

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

After the din Of the battles roar,
Just at the close of day,
Wounded and bleeding upon the field,
Two dying soldiers lay.
One held ringlet of thin gray hair,
One held lock of brown,
Bidding each other last farewell,
Just as the sun went down.
Chorus:
One thought of mother, at home alone,
Feeble and old and gray;
One of the sweetheart he left in town,
Happy and young and gay,
One kissed ringlet Of thin gray hair,
One kissed lock of brown;
Bidding farewell to the Stars and Stripe.
Just as the sun went down.
One knew the joys Of mothers love,
One of a sweetheart fair;
Thinking Of home, they lay side by side
Breathing farewell prayer,
One for the mother so old and gray,
One for his love in town,
They closed their eyes to earth and skie
Just as the sun went down.

j. Pierpont Morgan, the new Industrial
king of the United States, has risen so
suddenly into that position that it will
be some time before the public generally
will be able rightly to associate him with
the power he really possesses. Mr.. Nor
gan's name has been so long and init
mately connected with banking that the
old association will cling even in spite
Of his recent stupendous operations In
railroad and his just completed acquisi-
lion, for himself and his capitalist part
ners, of the huge steel industries hitherto
in the control of Andrew Carnegie. But
Mr.. Morgan has long been an important
figure in the steel business, even if Mr..
Carnegie's prime position in that field has
served to obscure his rivals prominence.
Hereafter the name of Morgan will con-
note railway empire in America and the
mighty grind of iron and steel mills.
The new industrial ruler is a native of
Hartford, Conn. His father, James Nor
gan, was a farmer boy who became
New England banker. The son was edu-
Gated in Boston and in Germany and at
the death of his father inherited a for
tune of about $10,000,00O. These figures
represented the Morgan equity in the
banking house Of j. s. Morgan & Co. of
London and of Drexel, Morgan & Co. of
New York. Pierpont Morgan married
Miss Frances Tracy. He has three chill
dren, Louisa and Annie and ]. Pierpont
Jr., who attends to the business of the
banking houses abroad. AS an example
of business capacity of a remarkable
kind, Mr.. Morgan is unparalleled. No
great mental product Of modern industry
can approach him. He is as capable as
any of the Rothschilds in the money line
and his recent achievements as an indus
trial organizer surpass any similar feats
performed by other operators in this
country or abroad. Numerous organizers
