One day he was making a speech
when Mr.. Anderson of West Virginia,
handsome and highly respectable
member of six years service in con-
gress, without rising from his seat,
logged his memory about something
he did when Speaker Reed paused long
enough to attract the attention of ev-
erybody and then with his most exas-
perating nasal twang said:
Yesterday ! had a discussion with
Mr.. Wilson, the head of the West Vir-
ginia delegation. and today. however
unpleasant it may be, | suppose will
be compelled to have a discussion with
the tail of the West Virginia delega-
tion."
OF course, the house roared. 1t
couldn't help itself.

STORIES ABOUT REED
Incidents In the Famous Ex-
Speakers Career.
AN EXAMPLE OF his SELF CONTROL

How the Big Son of Maine Turned
the Tables on a Carolina Congress-
man-His Experience With a Bar
Der and the Loss of His Mustache
Why He Thought He Should Have a
Pension.
When Thomas B. Reed, the former
speaker of the house. was in congress,
he was the subject of many anecdotes,
among which may be cited the follow
ing:
On one occasion Congressman Charles
W. McClammy of North Carolina said
to Speaker Reed:
TON. won't you. for goodness sake,
recognize me and give me chance to
abuse you and call you a car auto
crat and all that and denounce you?
All those Alliance fellows are raising
Cain down In my district, and | am
liable to be beaten. | must have some
thing to show up to my people, and the
most popular thing is to pitch into
you"
IAN right" said Speaker Reed.
There will be big crowd in the house
tomorrow, and it will be good oppor
tunity for YOU"
The next day, in great and lustrous
gathering in the hall of representatives,
Mr.. McClammy got the eye of the
speaker" and was recognized" in the
drawing remark of the high function
airy:
"The gentleman from North Caro-
lima"
Then Mr.. McClammy, with waving
arms and indurated throat, proceeded
to arraign the speaker and give him
Hail Columbia.
Meanwhile the speaker stood with
his fat hands resting upon the handle
of his world renowned gavel, his big
round, immovable countenance turned
toward McClammy and his small. un-
blinking eyes fixed upon the North
Carolinian in his evolutionary agoniza-
ton while the latter shook his fist at
the chair and denounced him in the
strongest terms of the Carolinian vo-
| cabulary that could be used within the
parliamentary uLullS. l. ne IuOuSdQOS
of people present enjoying the scene
wondered at the self control of the
speaker and the calm way in which he
called up new point of business after
the breathless Carolinian took his seat
In a roar of applause from the Demo
cratic and southern side of the house.
Some time afterward McClammy
met Mr.. Reed In the house restaurant
and said: Il am much obliged Mr..
Speaker, for the chance you gave me,
but | am afraid the effort did not
reach. guess those people in my dis
trict have done me up in spite of it

The Work of a Butterfly,

In our growing apprehensions of the
linked life OF the universe the flight of
the butterfly has gained a significance
and interest far beyond the casual ap-
probation of its radiance and grace.
Ii is no longer as the frivolous saun-
terer. who through the sunny days fut-
ters his life away among perfumed
petals. that he figures. The beauty Las
its functions. and subserves a vital pur-
pose in the economy Of nature. Like
the bee, the butterfly is workman in
Gods garden, and his mission to carry
pollen from blossom to blossom, thus
fertilizing and cross-fertilizing the
seeds. Without these winged mesSen-
gers of the air more than half the fOw-
ers in the world would be extermin-
ated. Not only do they add to the color
and loveliness of summers pageantry,
but assist in its creation. Does it not
ripen the interest of the spectacle to
realize that the swarm of opalescent
insects one sees in the meadows, eddy
ing in the golden sunlight, rising and
falling in lazy abandon, swaying
drowsily on the clover blossoms or bal
ancing on the petals of the new-opened
violets. in an existence apparently fet-
terless and fancy free, are really seri-
ously at work performing the function
of their being g?-Everybod Maya

product.
In different parts of the world the
Standard has 10000 tanks. capable OF
storing l,5OU.000.0OO gallons of oil. The
Increase in its handling facilities is
equal TO the building of a $4,000 gallon
tank every day. To supply the foreign
markets 100000 five gallon tin cans.
costing S5.SO0,OO0. are used each year.
These cans are packed in 100000
wooden cases and in addition 100000
barrels are employed in marketing the
product of the refineries at a cost of
S4.5OOOOO. To these must be added the
1000 tank wagons which the company
uses in some parts of the country in
order to reach the retailer and the mil
lions of boxes and bottles in which the
by-products of the refneries are sent
TO market. incidentally Rockefeller
and his associates control $4,000 miles
of railway.
The Standard Oil Company owns
three of the great banks of New York
and two of the leading trust compa-
MES, besides holding stock in many
others. The stock in the three banks
and two trust companies has to-day
market value of S140, 100000. and they
control deposits aggregating not less
than S300,O00,000. Its representatives
are identified with the management of
the great life insurance companies.
which have not less than 100000, 900
available for investment and use in
the New York loan market at all times.
Here are some of the great lndustri-
ais ii dominates: Standard Oil. United
States Leather, Amalgamated Copper,
American Sugar, the Glucose and Beet
Sugar Companies. Linseed Oil, United
States Salt and a dozen or more cor
porations directly subordinate to the
Standard Oil. 1t has or had S150,000.000
in the big steel corporation. besides
many millions in gas stocks. In banks,
trust companies, insurance companies,
railroads, gas companies and industri-
ais the grand total of the Standard Oil
capital now employed is close to ST.
these investments approximates $780,
1000. most of which of course, is re-
invested as fast as earned. No wonder
that John D. Rockefeller the developer
Of these mammoth industries is ac-
counted the worlds richest man.
