PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Little love, little trust; but great
love brings great confidence.-Rob'
ert Leighton.
There is only one person you need
to manage, and that is yourself.-T. De
Witt Talmage
The things in life that are worth
obtaining must be secured with effort.
Rev. o. S. Kriebel.
Do what You can, give what you
have. Only stop not with feelings;
carry your charity into deeds; do and
give what costs you something's. II.
Thom.
Patience and strength are what we
need; an earnest use of what we know
now; and all the time an earnest dis
content until we come to what we
ought to be.-Phillips Brooks.
At the bottom of a good deal of
bravery that appears in the
world there turks miserable
cowardice. Men will face pow
der and steel because they cannot
face public opinion.-E. H. Chaplin.
The only real relief is in absolute
conquest; and, the earlier the battle
begins. the easier and the shorter it
will be. If one can keep ircitability
under, one may escape a struggle to
the death with passion.-Juliana II.
Ewing.
Not till we are ready to throw our
very lifes love into the troublesome
little things can we be really faithful
in that which is least and faithful
also in much. Every day that dawns
brings something to do, which can
never be done as well again.-James
Reed
Consider the difference between i'm
pulse and action, between resolving
and doing. Many men are well-wish-
ers, but who have no intention of
ever carrying out their better desires.
Few know how to convert impulse
into action and the finer aspirations
into habits and systematic activity.
How often do we stand beside men
who have broken the hearts of those
whom they loved.-Rev. DR.. Hills.
Finish every day and be done with
it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no
doubt, crept in; forget them as soon as
you can. Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, and with
too high ? spirit to be numbered with
your old nonsence. This day is all
that is good and fair. 1t is too dear

SPANS IRON ORE.


She Sells Millions of Tons to Other Lands
but Has to Buy Steel.
The leading industrial journal of
Spain, commenting on the fact that a
steamship had taken a load OF iron ore
to the United States and had just re-
turned with a cargo of steel rails, de-
plores the almost entire lack of steel
works in Spain and the consequent
necessity of importing steel into
country that is very rich in iron ore of
the best steel-making quality
Spain has been the classic land of
the mining industry since the time of
the Phoenicians, and yet the main use
the country makes of its rich supply
OF metals is to sell them to other coun-
tries. The splendid iron ore among
the mountains of the north coast is
hematite of the best steel grade. There
is plenty of coal with which to reduce
the iron ore, the coal output in some
years being worth as much as S30000,-
90, but though Spain has every facil-
;ty for making all the iron and steel
the people need. most of the commodi-
llCo al z illl'OltSu'
In recent years, to be sure, consid
cradle Industrial activity has developed
in the Basque province among the
mountains where the iron ore is dug
out of the crust of the earth; and also
IN Catalonia, in the extreme northeast
of the kingdom, mainly at the city OF
Barcelona and around it. The chief in
dustry is the manufacture of iron and
machinery, but not nearly enough are
made to supply the demands of the
country So Spain continues to ship
from Bay of Biscay ports thousands of
tons of her fine iron ore to Great Bri-
tain, Germany, France and Belgium,
where it is used for steel-making.
Great Britain buys more than one-half
of the ore and most of it is smelted in
South Wales, tie chief seat of the Bes-
semer steel industry.
There is only one otner country that
is a great producer of iron ore and yet
depends upon other lands to turn this
raw material into pig iron and steel.
That country is Sweden, which how
ever, has a good excuse for selling its
ore instead of making iron and steel
of it. Sweden has practically no coal,
and therefore it is at a great disad-
vantage, for it is without fuel to smelt
it's ores, while Spain has both ore and
fuel in abundance.

Great Singer
Seeks Fortune

Lillian Nordica, the famous singer,
has retained Thomas Bracket Reed,
formerly speaker of the house of rep
resentatives and now a distinguished
member Of the New York bar, to ham
die suit against the government
whereby the diva expects to obtain a
fortune of $4,000,000. Nine. Nordica
has just come from Sioux City, where
she met members of the Norton fam
lily, to whom she let out the secret of
her intended assault upon Uncle Sans
treasury.
Ichabod Norton, of whom Nine. Nor
dica is a descendant, was great sail

quently used in the latter-day ro-
nance. Like the heroes in the books,
he sailed many seas, and, true to the

Mine. Nordica would not now be
paying MI. Reed a magnificent re-
tainer's fee, nor would she be forget
ting to acquire a new coon song in
her dreams Of new luxuries, if Captain
Norton had not fallen in with a col
lection OF French privateers. But this
was just his luck. The Frenchmen did
not know what the word America"
meant, and, not knowing, they did not
think it exactly wrong to inspect
American barques.
On looking into the holds of the ves-
sells they saw things that dazzled their
eyes. While bearing no i'll will toward
Captain Norton or his countrymen,
the Frenchmen believed they could use
the fine things in the Americans boats

to much better advantage in Paris.
So the privateers seized the treasures
OF the courageous salt and politely in
formed him that he might proceed
without fear of further harm.
Norton was ruined, and soon after
ward he saw an opportunity to re-
trench when the new government at
Washington was formed. He placed
his case before the state department
and was gratifed to hear steps would
be taken for indemnity from the
French government. This indemnity,
according to the tradition of the Nor
ton family, was paid to Uncle Sam,
and amounted to between $3O0O,OOO
and S4,000,000.
But the money as far as the Nor
tons ever knew remained in the strong
box of the United States treasury. The
French spoliation claims have been be
fore Congress for a century, and some
of them have been adjusted, but the
one in which Nine. Nordica is inter
ested is still pending, owing to the
inability of the heirs to come to an un-
derstanding as to the relative demand
of each individual claimant. For two
years past Nine. Nordica's sister, Mrs
Walker, has been endeavoring to ad-
Just the differences of opinion among
the claimants, and they have at last
reached an agreement whereby the
claim when allowed will be distributed
among the heirs on basis already de-
termined.
Within the last two weeks the heirs
held meeting and employed counsel
to press the claim. Nine. Nordiea ex-
pressed confidence that the claim
would be allowed as soon as all the
facts are properly presented.
Speaking further, Nine. Nordica said
that she could trace her ancestry back
to Sir Peter Norton, who came to
this country in 1000, and that she
was also descendant of the Aliens,
