A Good Horse Story.

A gentleman who happened into the
a good anecdote of unique citizen of
Unity some 40 or more years ago. This
citizen we will call Moran, principally
because that was not his name He
was dear lover Of a good horse, and
occasionally had one to sell that per-
haps everybody might not say was good,
but he never had one that he could not
tell a good story about, and he could
sell them if anybody could. He was
painfully afflicted with suffering, and
this atfiiction sometimes was a him
drance and sometimes was not. On one
occasion he sold horse to visitor as
suring him that he could 60 a mile in
three minutes all handily. The pur-
chase was made and as half mile track
was not far away the horse was taken
to the half mile ring to demonstrate his
ability to show speed. AS might have
been expected the horse could hardly
go fast enough to keep himself warm,
and naturally the purchaser was infuri-
ated and he rushed off to find Moran.
When he discovered him he yelled out
Didn't you tell me this horse could
show mile in three minutes?" After
a good deal of effort and many facial
contortions Moran succeeded in get
ting out the reply that he thought the
horse could go a mile in three minutes.
"Why, he can't 60 a mile in four min
utes," was the reply. "W-e-ll, a-i-n-t

a-m-o-u-n-t-o-f-t- talk -a-b-o-u-t-a-
m-i-n-u-t-e,-C-a- p-t-a-ln?" That set
tied it and the man drove off with his
new purchase, and Moran was master
of the situation once more, as in fact
he usually was before he got through

To Send Your Cash Away and Ask Favors
of Home Papers.
People sometimes decline to subscribe
for their home paper for the reason that
they always take several papers pub.
lished in New York and elsewhere.
Yet these same people often ask and re-
ceive favors from the local paper, while
none are received or expected from the
far off journal.
When they wish to express gratitude
for kindly assistance during sickness or
misfortune, the local paper is asked to
publish vote of thanks.
When they wish to have a supper or
reception of any kind, the local paper
is asked to give it free notice.
When public meeting is to be held
for any purpose. they want the local
paper to give it due publicity.
When they want their town doomed
so as to increase the value of their
property, they call on the local paper.
When they want new railroad or a
factory built, they expect the local pa
per to work for it with all its might.
When death occurs in the home,
they expect the local paper to report it
in tender, sympathetic strain and to
extol the virtues of the deceased.
When birth or wedding occurs in
the family, they expect the local paper
to give a glowing description of the
event.
When they are trying to build up
churches or schools, the local paper is
asked to give them good, strong puffs.
If there is a battle for right in the
county or precinct, the editor is expect
ed to bear the brunt of it.
Thus people are constantly receiving
favors from the local paper, bu: many
fail to show their appreciation by sub
scribing, for it.
Yet they cheerfully pay their sub
scriptions annually in advance for the
New York Bazoo or the Philadelphia
transformer, which never did anything
for them or their community.
This practice of bestowing ones pat
ronage upon the far off journal while
receiving all newspaper favors from
the home publication is a monumental
injustice of which no decent person
should be guilty.
Reader, don't come into our office
and ask us to publish in your interest
a personal puff or long winded Obit-
uary, claiming that you are too poor to
take this paper and asking for a dozen
free copies while your pockets are stuff
ed full of story papers and magazines,

COURTESIES AT Sc A.

In the days before cannon, and, in
deed, until comparatively re ecent times,
a vessel made her salutation by lower
ing her flag. This is the oldest and
most honorable greeting which a ship
can give, and it ranks before the BOOM
ing of guns, however many. This sa-
lutte has always been demanded by Eng
lish seamen, and her eXaction has burn
ed the hearts and the powder of genera
tions of naval commanders. For a for
eign ship, whether merchant or martial,
to enter an English port without veil
ing topSailS or lowering its national
flag was to court the chances of war,
though the profoundest peace existed.
Without warning or argument, the
shore defenses or man-of-war sent a
round of shot across the bows or be-
tween the mastS of the inSolent in
truder, and if the offending flag came
mot down instanter the foreigner was
brought to her senses by being raked
through and through. Such was the
reception accorded by John Hawkins to
the Spanish Admiral, who in time of
peace sailed into Plymouth Sound With
out yelling his topsails or striking his
flag. The Dutch vehemently resisted
the British demand, and it was not un-
til 1878 that they finally agreed to strike
the English colors in home waters.
The same honor was formally assented
to by France in 1904, although it had
been long eXacted by Britain.
Until modern times it was regarded
as a high misdemeanor for a merchant
vessel to pass one of his Majesty's ships
without dipping her ensign, and the
consequence was that a shot across her
bows compelled her to heave to while
her captains name was taken, the Ad-
miralty jnstituting prosecution
against him for his negligence. The
trading ship dips her ensign and waits
for the man-of-wars dip in return.
Then she dips again, and after that, IN
strict etiquette, she ought to dip third
time, but this is seldom done now. The
maritime supremacy of Britain is still
enforced by the refusal of any British
war vessel to dip her flag to any foreign
ship until the latter has first lowered
her colors, and this acknowledgment
of precedence is required not only in
home waters, but in all seas.
But naval salutes are now essential
matters of etiquette. and are exchang-
ed under an elaborate code arranged
between foreign powers and the Admir-
atty in 1876. The number of guns to be
fired under all conceivable circum-
stances is minutely stipulated. Second
to the salute of twenty-one guns in
honor of royal personages and national
flags are the nineteen rounds given to
Ambassadors. Colonial Governors, for
eign possessions and fortresses receive
seventeen guns, and ENJOYS Extraordi-
nary and Ministers Plenipotentlary fif-
teen. Two guns less are fired for Lieu
tenant-Governors, Charges d Affaires
are treated to eleven, Consuls General
to nine and a mere Consul to seven.
The salute of admirals of the fleet is
seventeen guns, and for admirals SIM
pliciter fifteen. Vice-admirals are
greeted with thirteen, and rear-admi-
rails with two less, while nine guns
are fired for commodores; captains and
lower officers being classed as not
worthy the burning of power.-London

What Football Is.

When human catapult, in leather
helmets and dirt-smeared canvas suits,
springs suddenly and with terrific mo-
mentum at you through hole in the
line, you grit your teeth and dive in to
stop it. If you bring down your man
you can jump back to your place be-
hind the line, with the bleachers rattl-
ing, and feel that you have done what
was expected of you. But if you missed
your tackle, and merely stopped the
avalanche by rolling under it, you limp
back to your position with just as many
bruises and with the coaches yelling
s'rotten'' at you. After two steaming,
aching, twenty-five minute halves of
that sort of thing you go back in your
especial car" to the gym and get call
down from the trainer. That's foot
ball. It's pluck mostly. Without that
no amount of mere brute muscle is
worth anything at all Frank Leslie's

The Money Value Of the so-called Steel
Trust.

There ia 80 much variation of opinion
concerning the magnitude of the United
States Steel Corporation, that the pub
lie will be interested to see the follow
ing statement from authentic sources,
given in Henry Loomis Nelson's article
on the s'Steel Trust" in the December
Century:
What is the money value of this giant
not merely the money value of the
physical plant, it's buildings, its ma
chinery. it's stock, but all that goes to
the making of running business?
The authorized capital stock is $780,
OO0,O of seven per cent. cumulative
preferred and $3.50, 900 of common
stock, total of 81, 1,1O0,0O0,0O Be
sides tie capital stock, bonds are pro-
vided for to the amount of 1904, 900, 900,
making the total authorized capital of
the corporation 81, ,404, 100000. The
amount of stock which has been issued
is $1,O1s. $50, 200, with S5OS, 3G2, 800 of
common and $50, O,2SO, 900 of preferred
stock. OF the bonds 1903, 900 have
been issued.
It is said that this is over capitaliza-
ton, an assertion which is naturally
denied by the managers of the corpora
ton. Although this is proposition
which l have already said that l should
not discuss, the various estimates of
value will be interesting. When the
corporation was organized the par value
of the outstanding stock and bonds of
the subsidiary companies aggregated
$911, 700, 900, and the total market value
was quoted at $761, 100000. Professor
Wilgus, estimating that s622, 600, 900 was
paid for the Carnegie Company's prop
critics, placed the price paid for the ag
gregate securities of all the subsidiary
companies at 81 ,297, 200, 900; but his es-
innate of the cost of the Carnegie Com
pany was incorrect. The terms of Mr..
Morgan's bargain with Mr.. Carnegie
were fixed by Mr.. Charles M. Schwab,
and since Professor Wilgus published
his book on the United States Steel
Corporation, Mr. Schwab has stated the
price paid for the Carnegie properties.
He asserts in an affidavit made in a
placed upon the Carnegie properties
in the. contract with the Frick
Syndicate was too low, and in
the litigation which followed it was
shown to be in excess of 1920, 900, 600
In his affidavit Mr.. Schwab swears that
the United States Steel Corporation
paid for the Carnegie properties the
1000, 600 of five per cent. bonds, less
S243,000 held against an equal amount
of underlying bonds, or 1903, 757, 900, the
total already mentioned as that of all
the bonds issued by the corporation. In
addition to these bonds the Carnegie
Company received S1Ss, SOC, 600 in stock,
making the price paid for it's properties
by the United States Steel Corporation
1902, 81, 900. On the value of the Car
negie properties as determined by agree
ment, the advance paid by the United
States Steel Corporation over the value
of 1899 was little more than ST., ,000,-
900; but since the stock of the United
States Steel Corporation sells for less
than its par value, this increment was
actually considerably less.

Shot Two Does.

L. P Hazetine of Bath has been at Sta
cyville for week, and succeeded in shoot
ing two does, although he found the game
very wild, indicating good deal of early
shooting. He saw splendid bull moose on
the 18th, only two days ahead of the season,
but when he sought the same "crtter," or
one equally as good, after open season ar
rived, he was not to be found. But on the
10Th moose that looked just like the one
seen by him was shot, and he concluded
moose meat was not for him this year. He
saw as many signs of moose within radius
of four miles of Stacyville as of deer,
which would indicate a great plenty of these

The immense gains made by the So
cialists in the recent elections are at
tracing the attention of politicians in
both the great political parties. 1t was
evident early in the late campaign that
the socialists were making unusual ef-
forts to win votes this fall This was
particularly noticeable in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut
and Massachusetts,, the great manufac-
turing centres of the country. The So
cialists worked among the laboring
men, preaching their doctrines in small
gatherings on street corners and in the
public halls of small towns Pennsyl-
vania was selected as field of promise,
on account of the industrial disturb
ances there, and socialist takers spoke
in every town of considerable popula-
ton. In Pennsylvania socialist state
didates for Congress ran in several dis
tricts. The names of the candidates
for State offices were printed on red
placards, bearing socialiStic legends.
In the mining regions it was a common
sight every night in the larger towns to
find the socialist exhorters haranguing
crowds on the street corners or in the
midst of the public square. In New
York a socialiStic propaganda of usual
proportions was feature of the late
campaign. The cities of the northern
tier OF counties and the metropolis
were the most pronounced centres of
activity. In Massachusetts an active
campaign was conducted. In Connec-
ticut the socialists endeavored to hitch
their car to the labor interests. The
result in these States was decided in
crease in the Socialist vote. Not only
were gains made in the industrial sec
tions of the east, but throughout the
country. 1t is estimated that the total
socialist vote of the United States in
the last election will foot up nearly
$4,000. Tie Appeal to Reason, the So
ciallst organ places the vote at 400,-
600. In 1900 Eugene V. Debs, the So
clallst candidate for President of the
United States, polled Sc, 900 votes. The
Socialists are making desperate efforts
TO capture the labor organizations and
to control them.

Costly Potatoes.

Country Life describes the history of
the potato known as the northern star
as one of the romances of finance.
1t was brought out in 1901 by Fife
shire grower, who parted with few at
the extraordinary price of $4,000 ton.
This is about $3.50 a pound, at which
rate two pounds were purchased by a
Lincolnshire dealer. From these two
pounds there will be grown this year
130 pounds.
The dealer was so pleased with the
result that he bought further quantity
at So, 800 ton, which is the rate for 1902.
