RUMORS
Concerning Lake Superior Iron Interests
Proved 0pportune for Bulls.

BY Associated Press.
New York. March 1S.-The report
that the Rockefeller interests in the
lake Superior region were to be includ-
ed in the United States Steel Company
proved very opportune for the bulls on
the stock exchange today and awaken
ed steel stocks from their dormant
state into activity. 1t is very difficult
to secure any authoritative confirma-
ton of the transaction and no details
were vouchsafed of terms, or whether
any increase in the proposed capital is ..
sue of the United States Steel corpora
tion was involved.
There was continuance of the ex-
cited speculation in Burlington, on the
publication of the assertions that
President Hill, of the Great Northern,
had secured control of the Burlington
1t was also confidently stated that the
New York Central had secured control
of the Manhattan. This statement re-
ceived an emphatic denial. These in
fluences form the framework of the
days animated and bouyant market.
The bond market continued active but
was reactionary in spots on profit TAX

The Great Drouth.
with Compliments Of the Ancient Mariner.


The.sun came up upon the left,
Out of the land came he;
Aud he slione hot until twas night,
Just as hot Us hot could be.
And 1t grew hotter every day,
Till over the house at noon,
The sun peereddown from ooppery sky
No bigger than the moon,
Day after day, day after day
We parched-uo breath nor motion;
As Idle us a painted ship
Upon painted ocean.
Sunshine, sunshine everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Sunshine. sunshine everywhere.
And very little to drink.
The very streams did rot: Oh, man,
That times like these should come;
Yea, shining things did crawl with legs.
Upon the waters scum.
About. about in reel and ront,
They sang and danced Mt night;
While the water like witch's oil,
Burnt blue, and green, and white.
Then, with strong, dry wind from tile so,Itf
Still hotter days did come;
The air was full of white smoke-dust,
That at times obscured the sun.
Some looked to heaven and offered prayers.
But their prayers seemed all in vain;
And some declared that the power was dead
That sent the mist and rain.
Day followed day, weary time,
OF upward gazing eyes,
When looking westward beheld
A something In the skies.
AT first 1t seemed a little speck,
And then 1t seemed n mist;
1t moved and moved and took at last
A certain shape visit
A speck. u mist, a shape visit,
1t moved and backed and neared;
AS iflt lodged water sprite,
1t plunged, and tackled and yeered
With grass unslaked, and corn all baked, to
try to speak was vain,
Through utter drouth all dumb we stood,
bit my arm and sucked the blood,
And cried rain! rain
See! see! cried. 1t comes apace,
The day is well nigh done;
Then down upon the western fields
Fell the red rays of the sun.
Alas. thought 1, and my heart beat loud,
While the sultry air drank up my cloud;
And with feverish gust,
Made everything more dry than dust,
IT'S a terrible dfouth we are passing through
But all should go straight ahead;
Fear only thicks mems blood with mold.
And robs them Of their head.
When you sleep try to dream of honey dew
From some cool and marshy sedge,
Or of rain pouring down from one black
cloud.
With the moon standing up by Its edge.
But sleep, you may say, is gentle thing,
On some cool salubrlous shore;
There one.mlght dream of dewey fields,
And of rain clouds downward pour.
But to close ones eyes and keep them
closed,
When the pulse is at fever heat;
Whenthe sky and the air and the air and
the sky
Lay like a load on each weary eye is quite
different feat

The Law of nn otter

You can find an example Of natures
adaptation of the jaw to use in the case
of certain carnivora, like the otter-a
big weasel that has acquired aquatic
habits. The jaws of such beasts are SO
fixed In the sockets that dIslocation Is
impossible. In some instances You can
not, even after the animal is dead, sep
arate the jaw from the head. This ar
rangement is evidently designed to en-
able the beast to bite to the greatest
advantage without danger that the
chewing apparatus will come loose.
