other guests. Countess Castellane met
the king on the porch Of the chateau.
After luncheon a hunt, superbly or
ganized, occupied the party until five
o'clock. when a theatrical perform
ance was given in the chateau theater.
This was another example Of De Cas-
tellane's lavish hospitality. Instead
of having them 60 to the chateau by
train he sent a number of fast auto
mobiles to fetch them. The entire
troupe of the delightful Operetta
"Chonchette" was engaged for the
performance with Nile. Bertha, the
favorite star for the hour in Paris, in
the leading role.
Following the performance there
was a dinner. and after that a display
of fireworks made especially for the
occasion In Portuguese designs and
colors. and music.
The night was beautiful, and, struck
by the charm Of it ALL the king turned
to the Duchess de Rohan and said: 81
hear. madame. that You recite verses
in an exquisite fashion. VIII you not
favor US on this beautiful night?" The
duchess rose TO comply with the COM
mand and recited several charming
bits Of verse.
At II o'clock the king, accompanied
by Count de Castellane and a number
of guests, took a special train back to
Paris.
Although little is known about Don
Carlos Of Portugal, save his marvellous
craftsmanship, 1 doubt if there is in
all Europe a king as popular with his
subjects or one as thoroughly respect
ed by every one iii his kingdom, from
the uItra-royalist down to the most
radical socialist. Every one, no mat
ter what class or party he may belong
to. doffs his hat respectfully and with
evident liking upon the appearance OF
the king.
1t Is said of him that he has not an
enemy in the world. Like the prince
of Monaco, he is deeply interested in
the treasures to be found at the bot
tom of the sea, and is constantly taking
soundings aboard his yacht Amelia.

bodiment of all the evils of competi-
uon, because he had the power to
destroy rivals. Indeed, it was the
contemplated exercise of this power
that led to the taking of the first
step toward the formation of the
United States Steel corporation.
The National Tube company was a
very large and prosperous organiza-
ton. Its capital stock was SSO.OOO,OOO
IL owned five blast furnaces. It
owned and operated nine rolling mills
and steel works and II pipe and tube
works. Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan was
one of the proprietOrs. Mr.. Schwab,
who was then president of the Car

tube mill for his company, a tube
mill so perfect in design, equipped
with such excellent machinery, while

economy, that he expected TO add
one more dominating factory to the al
ready long list of such factories in
Mr. Carnegie's kingdom. MIR. Carne-

freight charged by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company for carrying his
iron and steel goods from Pittsburg

build line of his own. for which
surveys were actually made. The
magnations of large capitalists be-

steel business was an uncomfortable

Jim Picks Pockets and Acts as Pub
lie Alarm Clock.
Has Fun with the People of Browns
Mills, n. J., in other Ways-AIsO
Is Confirmed Inebriate at
Heart.

The farmers and residents of
Browns Mills, \. j., to a man declare
that their town shelters the most
knowing crow tnat ever dug up newly
planted corn, and lest some unknow-
ing person might go cunning for him
they are guarding him zealously.
They keep a snarp lookout on the
bird Tor another reason. He has a
way of indulging in pranks which are
not always appreciated.
In appearance, says the New. York
Sun, he looks exactly like any other
black crow, but he isn't. He has a
name, Jim, and an owner, Job Steph-
ensOn, who says he has not yet had
an offer of money enough to buy
him.
Jim was a member of big flock
that made a lot of trouble for the
farmers, but being a superior crow
he fOrsOOk his bad company and
went to live on Stephenson's place
last spring. Job soon learned that
the bird meant we'll and fed him.
Jim accepted the comp iment and
has never changed his headquarters.
Every morning the crow accom-
panies the men to Whites cranberry
bog, flying along with them a dis
tance oftwo miles. While they work
Jim amuses himself in the manner
which has given him his local repu-
tatiOn.
His pet diversion is picking the
pockets of the coats thrown off by
the men at work, and there is no
use in trying to hide a coat from
him. One man recently thought no
would fool the bird and hid his coat
in corn stack. Jim found it and
cleaned out the pockets of tobacco,
matches and pipe.
What he does with his plunder is
mystery. He hides it somewhere, but
no one has yet been able to locate
his treasure house.
Jim is also an inebriate at heart,
though he seldom has a chance to
indulge his fancy. That fact came
out few weeks ago when one of the
hands stuffed his coat pocket full of
corn soaked with whisky and left
the coat in sight of the bird. Jim
ate it with relish and in a little while
became 50 overcome that he flew to
a tree and went to sleep.
The next day lie returned to the
coat in which he had made the find
Snd hung around near il for a week
before he finally gave up hope of an
bther debauch.
Jim acts also as a rising signal
for the village. Every morning at
$50 he flies through the streets
squeaking notes, which the villagers
declare are the nearest he can come
to SAYING Get up; get up"
When he first became a member
of the community the crow was the
cause of a good deal of trouble.
People awoke to find that the milk
cans, left on their back stoops, had
been overturned and for awhile no
one knew who the miscreant was.
At length a housewife saw Jim
grab the handle of a can with his
beak and use his entire strength in
turning it over. She charged on him
with a broom. So did another wom-
an the next morning, and after that
Jim behaved himself.
AS a watcher the crow is most use
full Several times he has given the
alarm when poIecat or mink threat
ened Stephenson's chicken yard and
it is for this faithfulness that the
crows owner refuses to part with
him.

grand total paid out of $5O,9O5.O4.
To take this grain to market it re-
quired forty-seven cars of $4,000 to
