That ignorance is bliss, and that

axioins which OFTEN are most inter

point of conjunction, says the Detroit

"Out in the cemetery, the other

remarked, Il noticed that Uncle
Bny's tombstone needed straighten-

at the crooked tombstone, but at an
early recollection-an episode in con-
nection with this same Uncle Billy.
~He was a fine man and power in

Aunt Sarah met me and said in low
tone; William, il you will make your
Uncle William take a peck Of brick
bats out of that stove, think it will
hold coal enough to warm the room.
"Sure enough, the stove was half
full of brickbats. 1t was Uncle
Billy's frugal idea that all stoves held
too much coal for their own good;
and that he could cut down his coal

the bed of the stove. l took them all

OPERATIONS OF THE
STEEL CORPORATION
The Trust Refrained from Advanc-
ing Prices Last Year-outlook
for the Future Is Bright.

BY Exclusive Wire from Tile Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 29.--A preliminary
report, covering the operations of the
United States Steel corporation since
it came into existence ten months ago,
was made to the stockholders today. 1t
was a forerunner to the more extended
resume to be submitted at the annual
general meeting on February II, and
was designed to familiarize the share
owners with the financial status of the
company and the trade situation in the
market where it buys and sells.
The report, signed by both Charles
NJ. Schwab and Albert II. Gary, de-
clared present business and future
outlook viewed ahead through 1909, to
be highly satisfactory. The report
said:
The outlook for the year 1902 is very bright.
Everything indicates that all OF the facilities OF
each subsidiary company will be taxed to their
utmost TO supply the demand that is being
made. The actual business now booked and Of
which shipment is being called for faster tl.an
it can be supplied amounts to more than lali
the total combined annual capacity OF all the
companies. The heavier products like rails, bill
lets, plates and structural material are sold up
to the productive capacity of the mills until
nearly the end OF the year. IN the more highly
finished products the consumption IN each case
S greater now than at the corresponding period
in 1901 which it should be remembered was an
abnomafiy heavy year. The expectation, there
fore, of those closely connected with the manu-.
iacture and sale OF these highly finished products
is for 4 demand even larger than that OF 1901
and NJ to the limit OF production
Discussing prices, the report said that
thew Could have been advanced but If
was decided to be better policy to re-
frain from doing so. The reference to
prices follows, in part;
The demand for products has been so GREAT
that prices could easily have been advanced.
Indeed higher prices have been voluntarily OF
