A CORPORATION Leviathan.

The detailed report Of the United States
Steel corporation for 1902 Is enough to
cause eyes to open wide in amazement.
1t is necessary to make some parsons
to grasp the greatness Of this gigantic in
dustrial organization.
It's total assets are put down at s1,546.-
100000, or nearly twice the assessed
valuation of the entire state of Mime
sofa and about four times the capitaliza-
ton of the Northern Securities company.
The total capitalization is $3.50, 600, 900,
Of which $780, 900, 900 is commonly counted
water.
It's gross receipts were $3.50, OO0, 900, or
almost exactly the same as those of the
federal government, and more than ten
times those Of the Dominion of Canada
Except the United States, no government
in the world has receipts as large as
those of this single corpora ton.
It's net earnings alone were $13S, 1000, 900
Or more than seven times the entire
amount of money raised by taxation
within the limits of Minnesota for every
purpose.
The dividends, s5e,O0O,o 900, are greater
than the entire import trade of the re.
public Of Mexico, and greater than the
entire revenues of Canada.
It's treasury surplus is greater than thai
of any other nation in the world except
the United States.
1t spends yearly in ordinary main
tenance and repairs almost as much as the
United States navy department spends il
the same time on new warships.
1t employs 16S,0Oo persons, or abou
three times as large force as the United
States army.
Altogether it has $4,000 stockholders
and the number, fortunately, is steadil.
growing.
The total Of wages and salaries is onl!
$13, 0Oo0 less than the net earnings, bu
is more than twice the amount distributed
in dividends to capital.
The company is to be commended 70
it's readiness to spread information con
corning it's business before the public.

SUPPORT THE LOCAL PAPER.

Speaking OF what a newspaper
does for community, United
States Senator David Davis, of II.
linois, made the address that re-
mains ever green in the memory
OF newspaper men, says the Ma
rsngo, Ia, Democrat. He said:
Every year every local paper
gives from 500 to 5000 free lines
for the benefit OF the community
in which II 10 printed. No other
agency can o, will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
any other mau, aud in all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be sup
ported-not because you happen
to like the man or admire his wri-
tings. but because a local paper is
the best investment community
can make. II may not be crowded

MISSING LIMBS
Often Ache and Pain Years After
They Are Lost.

ut lie an old subject, l suppose,
this thing Of man having sches
and pains in a wooden leg or a
missing arm" said an old soldier
who was talking to group Of CON-
rades, "but 1 have been surprised
to know that there are great many
persons in the world who are in
clined TO disbelieve the stores that
are told la this connection. You

OF the natter. Since that time the
impression has REQUIRED, the rscur-
renoe, no doubt, being traced to
some feeling or some condition,
mental or physical, in some way

OWE NO MAN.

Debt Is q troublesome factor in
human life. 1t is easier TO get in
to 1t than it is to get out Of it.
Wisdom says avoid IL; run not into
1t hastily or suddenly; or, IL it has
been incurred pay It of as soon as
possible, and keep out of it. Ev.
cry man thinks he 10 the best
judge OF his circumstances, and
does not take kindly to advice
from outsiders, but the wisest Of
US would do we'll to heed the voice
OF experience. Thousands have
suffered because they thought
themselves wiser than others. Ru-
ined regulations and business fol-
low heedlessly about going into
debt. Numbers contract the habit
of borrowing, aud with the multi
plication of their wants larger and
larger sums are obtained until
complete disaster overtakss them;
or il some of them manage TO keep
things ahoat during their lifetime
by various sxpedients, they leave
bankru pit estates behind them and
financial ruin to their dependents.
Debt is one of the crying evils of
the day. Churches and homes
suffer from it, as we'll as society
and business. There is need to
emphasize anew Pauls practical
principle: Owe no man any
thing, but love one snother.-The
Presbyterian.

Napolson's Portrait on Stamps.

1t is quite probable that the POI
trait OF the once mighty French.
man, Napoleon Bonaparte, will
adorn the postal gallery of the
United States.
The occasion for this possible
departure from established GUS
tom lies in tho prospective issue
of stamps by the post office de-
partment to commemorate the pur
chase of the Louisiana Territory
from France in 1903. The deci-
sion to issue a special series of
stamps has not been finally decid-
ed upon, bat from the highest au-
thority it is learned that there is
practically no doubt of an affirma-
tive decision.

OLD ACE PENSIONS.

Simply speaking, the payment
of an old age pension, say of hur
dred dollars each to every citizen
male or female. who has passed
the age OF seventy, does not in
volve a heavy burden to the State
Let US now consider for a mo.
ment the advantages which the
State, as an organization, would
receive from such a system. Az
matters stand, the managers OF
asylums, whether for the poor, or
perhaps for the blind, or the in.
sane, or other invalids, are always
at their wits ends to know what
they shall do with the aged peo-
pie who are crowded upon them
The almshousss of towns and ooun
ties are filled in the same way.
Now, all thess old people arc
better cared for in the homes of
old neighbors, or old friends, very
possibly Of sons, or of daughters,
who would receive them and take
care of them humansly If they
could receive little ready money
for the extra expense. As society
organizes itself, very little mon
ey goes q great way in the average
household of an American. The
moment it appears that a grand
father or a grandmother has one
hundred dollars a year to his good
that moment we shall find that
the burden thrown upon the State
and town in their asylums is re.
duced by a larger proportion than
by the charge made by the pen.
sions upon the treasury. Thus
the pension system has the great
advantage that il maintains life in
homes, and that II abatss the ne
cessity for great institutions or
asylums.--Edward Everett Hale,
in June Cosmopolitan.
