Rats proclaim their monarch on ac-
count of his gray hairs-he is always
an ancient and wise headed warrior.
He fights his way to the front, but it is
not only that that gives him the
throne-it is his cunning. The rat
tribe celebrates his coronation in an
almost human way. The whole tribe
of the house or granary gathers, and
the big monarch steps out and shifts
ut the air He CRATES his teeth wick
eddy, daring any rival TO come and try
his luck, and if none offers he is
thenceforth given the lead in all mat
tiers. If house is unsafe or a ship
unfit for sea, the king it is who leads
the tribe away in time, and his sub
jects never modest him when he helps
himself to the pick Of the food or the
best nesting place, and his family en-
joys the same distinction.

Powerful Factor In the Great Finnn-
cinl Centcr-IIeats on Timers Mt
Their Own Game-His seance With
j. PierpOnt Morgan.
A new wizard of finance has arisen
in Wall street. He iuggles millions
with as much nonchalance as a maei-
clan manipulates a few coins John
w. Gates is the man. There are many
who believe he is destined TO become
the king of that great center of finance.
Not since the days of Jay Gould and
Jim Fisk has any man created such a
commotion as he has aroused by his
operations. His recent coup in Louis.
willie ana Nashville took the old timers
completely by surprise, and the thrones
of the mighty We're rocked to their
foundations.
Several years ago a small group of
Chicago capitalists transferred the
scene Of their operations to New York
and for the past three years have been
an important and powerful factor in
Wall street John W, Gates is the di-
recting spirit of this group, which is
known as the Chicago clique"
As one of the chief figures in Ameri-
can Steel and Wire he was a factor in
the organization of the billion dollar
steel trust, J. p. Morgan's pet enter
prise
\ story told in Wall street relates
how Gates called on Morgan at the
time the trust was organized and I'M
folded to him his ambition to be one of
its officials.
"Of course you know, Morgan Mr..
Gates is credited with saying, 81 cx.
pect to be on the board of directors
and also chairman of the executive
committee"
Indeed" gossip says Mr. Morgan
made reply. You are too modest l
can tell You now that YOU won't lie
chairman of the executive committee.
l am also able to inform you that YOU
won't be even a director"
And he wasn't But conditions have
changed since then, and it is doubtful
if Mr.. Morgan would be so brusluc
with the redoubtable Gates at the pres.
ent time.
The recent operations of Mr.. Gates
Were not the first that have displayed

a meteoric character. His whole career
since he came into prominence in the
business world has abounded in sur
prises for his associates as well as his
financial opponents. His fortune, which
is estimated as about $4,000 900, has
grown in leaps and bounds rather than
by the slow accumulation of dollar ON
dollar
Mr.. Gates was born in Du Page
county, ILL.,. in 1875. He was educated
in the public schools and Mt North
western college, Illinois, from which
he was graduated in 1873. He entered
business as a dealer in grain and then
in hardware. In 1889 he began to alb
sorb all the barbed wire mills in the
country and in three years had gather
ed in twenty-five mills. He was then
president Of two great companies, the
Consolidated Steel and Wire and the
Illinois steel company. In a dozen
years he had made great fortune and
carried out schemes of vast proper
tons.
Mr.. Gates decided to retire from bust
ness and had resigned the presidency
of the Illinois Steel company when a
suggestion was made to him that the
reorganization of the steel and wire in
terests would be a good thing. The
American Steel and Wire company,
with its capitalization of S90000,000
was the result. Mr.. Gates is said to
have cleared Sj,000,000 by this stroke
1t is said that the rapidity with
which this trust was organized broke
the records in this particular. Since
the reorganization of this great cor
poration Mr.. Gates name has been
prominent many times in connection
with great stock operations. Two years
ago it was reported that he had made
100000 from the rise in Baltimore
and Ohio and Union Pacific stock.
In his tastes Mr.. Gates is distinctive
~ American. He is fond of horses and
enjoys n good race. Formerly he was
one of the best trap and wing shots in
the west, and he is an expert with. the
billiard cue To his friends he is known
as a jolly. companionable man, who is
always ready to appreciate and repay
a favor He is thoroughly devoted to
his family.
Mr. Gates is now at the age which
for most men is the height Of business
activity. 1t is by no means likely that
he will rest on his laures At all
events, he has demonstrated to the
spectators of Wall street that he can
teach them some things about their
own game.

Infnnf THINNING.

The care Of an infant is always the
cause of deep and anxious thought on
the part of the mother, and especially
50 when the mother is a young girl
who has always been free from the
cares and duties which naturally de-
volve upon the young matron. Any
mother knows how soon habit is
formed in her child, and this fact is
proof that just as early in life is a
child amenable to training.
If child is told that he cannot have
a certain thing he soon knows whether
a little fretting will gain it for him.
There are very few children who do
not understand this by the time they
are six months old. Let yes" mean
yes" and just as surely let mo" mean
no when dealing with a child as
when dealing with an adult.

Unwillingly Rescued.

Bruce is big retriever, and during
q summer holiday he went with his
mistress to stay at the seaside. The
first morning she took him for walk
on the sands.
A little way out gentleman was
bathing. When Bruce saw him, he
pricked up his ears. rushed into the
water and pulled him out. much to the
mans disgust. He did not at all ap-
prove of being rescued under such cir
cumstances, but that was hardly the
dogs fault, was It?

the lightcst. Shin up that tree and
crawl out on that branch and let it
down until we can cut that dog loose.
And that is what happened. While
the little girls looked on in interested
silence and Helen dried her tears
Chunk was boosted up into the tree,
graspcd the branch and went out to-
ward the end hand over hand until his
weight bore it down so that Halter,
who was tallest, could reach Tatters.
He grasped him, cut him loose and
gave him over to his little mistress,
who hugging him close to her breast,
ran away with him.
Then Diff, though his eyes twinkled,
turned and said sternly TO Buck, How
could you play such cruel trick on
my sisters dog?'
Il didn't think 'twould hurt him"
answered the culprit.
"Well. it might have" answered Diff,
turning on his heel.

THE BEEF TRUST.

There seems to be no extenuation for
the beef trust. Some of the trusts
probably bestow the greatest good
upon the greatest number, IN that they
nave materially reduced the price OF
the commodity in which they deal--for
example the Standard Oil Company
and the combined steel manufacturers.
But the beef trust has materially rails
ed the price of beef for the sake of lin
ing its own pockets. and this in face
OF the fact that the supply of Ameri-
can cattle proportionate to the number
of inhabitants, has not notably dimin-
ished. AS the market price stands II
is utterly out of proportion with the
price of beef on the hoof. In New York,
IN one week. the retail cost of the roast
and steak advanced thirteen per cent
though the price of beeves in Chicago
remained the same. American beef sells
for no more in London than in New
York. II this beef is sold in London
at q profit the same prices for the same
beef In America mean that the market
Is controlled by an unlawful and greedy
combine which is susceptible of legal
interference and restraint.
There are fears that, even il the
courts enjoin the trust in the action
directed by the Attorney General, the
day OF cheap meat cannot return for
good. 1t is urged that the Western
herds. roaming the ranges, must soon
disappear with the ranges themselves
But this change i'm conditions does not
strike us as fatal to the free use of
beef. When the ranges are divided into
small farms they ought to produce
more cattle than they do now, on the
principle that an acre of cultivated
land will grow more nourishing food
for stock than three acres of wild land.
That the devotion of the reclaimed ter
ritory to cattle must come, 10 borne
out by the plea that the market, in the
meantime, will be high. Nor is the West
the only section In which such an in
crease in the stock-raising industry
may be predicated. Eastern farmers
VIII be heard from. They are now pro-
ducing crops which barely give them a
living; but their timothy and clover
farms are capable OF raising the best
OF beef In the world at the rate of a
steer to the acre. II the market price
or beef keeps up they will go into tn,
business and, by automatic process, ths
price OF beef must fan again. No trust
can hope to corner the American farm,
ers as class and keep them corner,
ed-neither they nor their cattle no,
their wheat. The proposition is too bis
one for any trust to handle.
Meanwhile the attempt OF the trus
to cinch the consumers will be me
with determined resistance in In
courts.

DELEGATE WILCOX.

In his evidence before the Committee
on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico Del
egate Wilcox was generally at loss
for an intelligent reply to questions
and was only too glad to turn them
over to the ready tact and information
OF Mr.. Caypless. One in reading Mr..
wilcoX's answers and evasions easily
sees what Congressman Knox meant
when he said that Hawaii ought to
send a Delegate to Congress who has
some knowledge of this Territory.
Other members of the House and Sem
ate have said similar things to visitors
from Hawaii. some of them putting
their objections to Wilcox in way TO
suggest that he will be lucky to retire
from public life without a scandal to
season his reputation for incompetence.
1t Is hard thing to say of a public
man that he knows nothing of the Ter
ritory in which he was born and rear
ed; yet Mr. Knox, speaking of knowl-
edge In its broad and useful sense, did
not unduly discredt the Home Rule
leader What Wilcox knows is Of small
use tc Congress in its discussion of our
problems. He may be an authority on
the so-called customs of the islands.
TN the native tongue. on the secrets OF
the past regime and on the pedigree OF
princesses. but when he is asked about
our silver coinage. our sugar values
ana necessities. our commerce, our har-
Dor needs OF our land system he wan.
ders helplessly through the parts OF
speech. His bent of mind is toward tn,
relatively trivial. Because of this h,
