BREAKFAST IN A SMOKER.
Lonq island Man Rides on Certain Train
Despite Jeers Of Passengers.

Passengers on the 1872 a. m. subur-
ban train have recently been amused
to see William Rohr of Massapequa,
\. y, breakfast in the smoking car.
Mr.. Rohr partakes of his matutinal
meal as calmly as though he were in
his own home or in a dining car on
limited train, and he does this in the
face of the somewhat Caustic comments
of other sU6ur5auites.
From one pocket of his overcoat Mr.
Rohr will draw a pastebOard box and
from the other a bottle filed with cot
fee The box usually contains piece
of hot steak and other parts Of break
fast
1t appears the 1872 train was not to
stop at MassapeqUa after Dec. l, but a
wealthy resident of the place, who has
influence with the railroad manage
ment, succeeded in having the train
halt so long as one passenger boarded
it. Mr.. Rohr has felt that it is up to
him to be a passenger on that partic-
ular train, and when he sleeps too late
to breakfast regularly at his home he
has a meal made ready while making
his toilet and partakes of it while en-
route. He is warmly congratulated
upon his determination to make good, -
and his travelling companions, al
though they guy him numerically
really admire his persistency.

LESSON OF THE STEEL TRUST

world no such promoters profits as
these had ever been heard of.
Making great organizations is an eX'
citing game. Few men have heads
cool enough to resist such excitement
The president of the great company
soon lost his head. He was soon buy
ing and selling a great steel plant on
his own account at a fabulous proht'
But the business of the great company
went on in a prosperous way, and IT'S
millions of dividends were paid quar-
terly. Then a plan was made to con-
vert some of its stock into bonds, leav-
ing the rest of the stock, of course, at
disadvantage Was this an intima-
ton that a time might come when the
stock would receive lessened dividends
or no dividends at all? The public be-
gan to be suspicious, and the stock be-
gan rapidly to fall in the market
The iron and steel trade has fallen
off somewhat, not greatly. 1t is pros
porous yet. But the high tide Of the
last two years is receding. When the
time for declaring dividends comes the
dividend on the common stock is cut in
two-one-half of per cent per quarter
is declared instead of 1 per cent on the
common stock.
There were some time ago more than
25.O00 persons who had bought this
common stock alone-bought it because
they were led to believe that it had d
good chance to continue to pay per
cent dividends a year. Now they are
told truly that the directors are con-
serving their property by cutting the
dividend in two. and they are remind
Ell at the same time that they were
very simple dupes ever to buy this
stock with the expectation of any div
idends at ALL which also is true.
The greatest corporation in the world
then. under the most distinguishes
management, is very like many anoth-
er. 1t was a promoters scheme. In
its organization there was great
"rake off" Some of its officers were
caught in the specializing whirlpool
and discredited. Its whole issue Of
common stock is on a speculative basis.
The public may learn at some time
that the Organization of factories and
mills and industries on the basis of
expected earnings in good times is an
economic error This is a gamblers
doctrine pure and simple. The funda-
mental. lasting, economic fact is that
organization on such a basis is cap
ital error. Earning capacity at any
given time is a shifting sand bar
There must be something more sub
stantial than this at the base Of in
dustrial organization when it becomes
wholly honest.

NEW MISSIONARY PLAN.
Yale Men to Establish a Teaching
Institution In China.

A new idea in American foreign mis-
sion work is behind the venture which
an association of well known Yale
alumni has just planned for China,
says New Haven dispatch to the New
York Times.
Instead of preaching, the Yale China
mission will limit its efforts to teach
ing, Instead of going out among the
chinese armed with the Bible, the men
who have taken up the venture will
go armed with text books, grammars,
histories, volumes on economics, on
medical science and on mercantile life,
natural science and mechanical and
mining engineering. While the Yale
China mission is not to be in any sense
an ordinary religious mission, theo-
logical course will be included in the
curriculum. and there will be a school
of pedagogy for the benefit of young
Chinese who propose to teach in the
government schools. The association
has $1,000 in hand and has not only
made arrangements with the Chinese
government, which will establish the
school on a safe footing, but has set
tied upon the city of Changesa, capital
of the province of Human, where to
commence operations.
The general plan of the mission is not
to establish another evangelical ven
ture and thus add to the already nu-
merous missions in the empire, but to
put into active cooperation with the
present established missions univer-
sity training school for natives who go
into the government schools to teach.
The mission will provide educational
facilities which will equip native Chi
nese to better their own people. Last
June the plans of the association were
only partially formulated, but the de-
tails were left to be worked out during
the summer. This fall the final deci-
sion has been made as to the policy to
be carried out.

CornStaIk Eighteen Feet High.

What is believed to be the tallest
stalk of corn ever produced in the coun-
try is that raised in 1903 by Daniel e.
Haupt of Norristown, Pa. 1t is eight
cen feet in height Mr.. Haupt planted
the seed last May in the garden of his
home on De Kalb street. When this
particular stalk began to show unusu-
al growth he carefully tended it, and
when cold weather halted its upward
progress it had developed into Il record
breaker 1T was not done growing
when the early frost came" said Mr..
Haupt, "and l think if favorable
weather had continued it would have
gone up five feet higher" There are
two ears on tue stalk, one eighteen
inches long and the other thirteen
inches.

YOUNG CULINARY ARTIST.
Girl of Five Makes Her Grandmother Bow
to Her Superiority.

In a happy home in Chicago the re-
gretful phrase about the pies mother
used to make" never is heard says
recent dispatch from the western me-
trOpoIis. The mother of the head of this
household is living at seventy, and she
has not lost Il particle of skill in turn
ing out the finest of pastry. Her daugh-
ter-in-law has protited through exam
pie, and her pies, too, would fill a New
England housewife with envy But
both these skilled cooks bow in adj
miration to the daughter of the house
At five little Nanette MERCER can turn
out pie that is just the most tooth
some cOmestible that ever graced din
ner table.
Under crust? It's as light as a deli
cately welded mass Of snOwflakes. Up
per crust? Just the proper degree Of
solidity, yet with perfect lakiness. Fill
ing? Such soft, smooth apple, such dell
cately tart goOseberry, such fragrant
compound OF spice and brandy and
meat in the ne plus ultra mince!
Nor are pies little Nanette's only
works of art. She bakes bread that
would make even the most rabid advo-
cate of health foods forsake his narrow
path, and she can broil steak with
Just the right degree of inward redness
and outward carbonizatiOn. And all
this at five years. No wonder her
grandmother beams upon her and says
that in a couple of years more Nanette
will sweep all the prizes in culinary
contests.
