was only within the past few weeks
that she had had any trouble from the

PROFITS OF STEEL TRUST.

ZACH MINUTE of every ten-hour
l. working day in the last nine
months of 1901 netted the United
States Steel corporation 1896. Every
day saw s357,71S in net revenue poured
into the Golfers Of that trust ana the
total net earnings we're $S4, rs, 29S. IN
nine months the profits of this one
trust amounted to more than all the
gold produced in the United States in
a year. The monster balance sheet was
never equaled by any corporation.
The managers of the trust confident
ly expect to make a better showing this
year. They say they were hampered
during a portion Of the period for
which the statement is made by lack
of transportation facilities. They could
not secure cars enough to handle their
output and millions of dollars worth of
finished products are lying at trust
plants awaiting shipment. This will
all be remedied during the next few
months so that the magnates Will not
be compelled to worry along with only
SS4, 0O0, 600 of income.
II does not seem so wonderful, after
all, that Mr.. Carnegie is able to give
away vast fortunes every year. He mas

ccasUMPTIoN OF COFFEE.


THE UNITED STATES. according to
L figures recently issued from the
treasury bureau of statistics, is
the largest consumer Of coffee in the
world. Coffee is one of the very few
articles of common use which it is not
possible to grow in this country. At
tempts have been made in the extreme
southern portions of the Union to raise
the fragrant bean but they have never
resulted in conspicuous success.
During the eleven months ending
Nov. 80 of las, year, 967, 969,5S5 pounds
of coffee were imported. AT that rate
the total for the year would be we'll
over a billion pounds. or more than
twelve pounds for every man, woman
and child in the United States. If the
beverage IS properly prepared, it takes
about pound of the pulverized beans
to make a gallon. At this rate every
inhahitant of the Union could have
twelve gallons of coffee each year, or
about 1872 good-sized cups.
The nation that most nearly APP
proaches this one in the gentle art Of
coffee drinking is Germany, which cor
sumes only 612 pounds per capita.
France uses a little less than five
pounds and Great Britain is far down
in the list with less than a pound. And,
while the consumption of coffee in the
United States has increased and is in
creasing tremendously, the cost of the
product is decreasing. In 1894 it aver
aged close to '1615 cents and in 1901 just
7.3 cents.
The low price is undoubtedly due to
the war between the coffee and The
sugar trusts, each reaching out after
the others business. It is not, of
course, possible to purchase very
good grade of coffee for cents a
pound. or for twice that sum, but those
who have never tasted the finer grades
don't know what they are missing and
are perfectly satisfied with the other.
There is always more or less opposi-
ton to the coffee drinking habit, but
it is sc much better than the kabitual
use of intoxiC .nts that the custom is
likely to survive the most determined
efforts of the reformers.

RETIREMENT OF CROKER.


THE RETIREMENT of Richard Gro
ker from the leadership Of Tam
many hall, that is to say, from
New York politics, is a notable event
in the history of Greater New York.
Squire Croker found the sting Of his
defeat at the hands of the reformers
was greater than he could bear. Like
the animal which is used to typify his
organization. he desires to seek some
secluded spot in which to heal his
wounds without fear, of further at
tacks.
The squire gave utterance to some
wise expressions in his final talk to his
braves. In urging them not to lose
hope for the future he said that it was
political history that Tammany had
polled a larger vote when out of power
than when in. This is undoubtedly
true. After the reformers have been
in power for a term or two the people
get so tired of reform they are willing
TO so back to Tammany or any other
evil, just for the sake Of change.
Another reason is that the men out
Of office are always willing to work
harder to get in than the office-holders
work to stay in. 1t IS largely the old
principle of the hare and the hound.
The hound. it will be remembered, anx-
iOusly inquired why Br'er Rabbit was
able to keep OFT OF his reach. THE
reason is" replied the rabbit" that you
are running for your dinner and I am
running for my life"
1t is by no means certain that New
York politics has seen the last of
Croker. He seems to have named his
successor and it is altogether probable
that by she time the next city cam
paign comes around he will once more
assume the leadership. His retirement
Will not be considered permanent until
at least one campaign has gone by
without him.

DEACON AssALoM's JAG.

AFTER SIXTE-FOUR YEARS OF
happy married life, Deacon Absa-
lom Morehouse is sleeping in the large
barn that graces his farm in New Jer-
sey.' Hard cider caused the deacon's
downfall and. although he has pleaded
with his wife to remember that boys
will be boys, that every lad has to have
little fun sowing wild oats, she re-
mains obducate. Now, perhaps, the good
deacon viii enter upon a round of dis
sipations that will wreck his promising
career right at its beginning.
It happened this way: A few weeks
ago Deacon Morehouse, who is stuf-
dy youth of Sc summers and winters,
concluded that it was time TO kill his
hogs. He called in his hired man and
the pair slew four large porkers. which
were cut up and rendered into lard
and other things. The weather was
cold, so Absalom and his helper in
.dulged from time to time in hard cider.
At the end of the hog-kilIing they felt
like regular devils"
So. when the hired man proposed to
go to a nearby town and give it a
taste of elevated existence. Absalom. in
the exuberance of his youthful spirits
and hard cider, cheerily consented. Ac-
cOrding TO reports they had a mighty
merry time. They smoked cigarettes
and they drank lager beer; they just
didn't give a dern for the town mar
shall or anybody else. Still in a state
of. exaltatiOn was the deacon when he
came home singing. From Greenland's
icy mountains to midas coral strands"
He didn't strike coral strands ex-
actly when he attempted to enter the
dear old home. but the atmosphere was
decidedly tropical. Mrs. Absalom, after
tearfully threatening to go right home
to mamma. finally changed her mind
and directed the misguided young nus
band to repair to the barn. He re-
paired. after some protestations. Thith-
er his spouse later sent their little son,
a child of 62. with food and blankets.
Ever since the deacon has not been able
to get even close to mis- dOmicile
Truly the punishment does seem too
hard on the boy. All the evidence
shows that he had led a most exem-
plary life and this was his first fan
from grace. His wife should have been
willing to let him have his whirl out
in peace. Then he might have settled
down as the years passed and become
"a solid citizen in his old age. As it is.
