MIR. Morgan's herbal Contract.

Now that the attention of half of Eu-
rope and most of America is directed TO
the shipping trust and its organizer, the
following London narrative of an incl
dent in the career of great nnahcier
will bear reading:
Some wears ago at a dinner the late
Colonel Auchmuty sat beside ]. Pierpont
Morgan at the table. Somehow the saih
drifted to industrial education and the
Colonel stated his belief in the posslblll-
ties of trade schools in New York lie
spoke of a plan of his for the erection
of a building wherein young men could
learn trades closed to them by the oper-
alton of social labor societies and the
abuse of labor power and apprentice sys-
TENS. He mentioned the probable out
right cost of such an undertaking. After
the dinner, while the gentlemen fingered
over their cigars Mr.. Morgan turned to
the Colonel.
What you have said is most inter
esting." he remarked Il have thought
it, over. Go ahead. Get your plans ana
Your property. Til do it. But do not
bother me until the thing is ready and
complete"
And SO the Colonel got his plans and
got his property. and three years went
bv before everything was ready, and all
this time not one word had ne spoken to
the man who had nodded his head. No
one knew. not even those closest 70 tlie
nroiect who it was that was behind it
The incidental expenses had been car
ried by the Colonel himself. who was
a man of means. But, as we have said,
the dav came and the Colonel went
down to the corner of Broad and all
Streets the first time in connection with
the business. His card secured him an
immediate audience with Mr.. Morgan.
Some PEOPLE might have been nervous.
Often men have said such things and
forgotten 1t is very much better to have
them in back and white.

Colonel began.

Senator Plat Of Connecticut, wnnted
to go fishing the other day. and so in
formed a friend, whom he invited to
take trip up the Potomac.
Don't you know that it's against the

tors friend.
Well if that's so,"" returned Mr..
Plat. I'VE won't go. We Senators ought
not to figure in the Police Courts all the

In connection with the above reference
to the peccability of legislators, the sub
