The most typical situation in Cl

The most typical situation in Cleve land Is that of the mills of the steel trust. The Newburgh plant was for merly the backbone of the American Wire and SteelNCo. Twelve thousand men are employed there under normal conditions. There are two rod mills, two Bessemer plants, two bloomers, two furnaces and an open hearth fur nace. Prior to the summer of 1902 these great mills had run continuously for more than three years, defying the usual precedent of closing down for repairs or for the comfort of the men in the most heated part of the summer But nearly every one of the mills closed down in the spring of this year, and the fires in many of them are still banked. Thousands of men were thus thrown out of employment. Even when the mills started up again a few weeks ago there was a practically horizontal cut in the wages of all employees of from seven to fifteen per cent. This was most serious matter to men who
 
 had been out of work entirely for sew eral months. Inquire for an explana- tion of the idleness of these mills ana the reply will be, Lack of demand The fact is that under the protection of the tariff law, the steel trust has been able to push all it's prices up to such dizzy figure that all except the most urgent demand has been killed off. So vital to American commerce is the steel industry that this fact has caused retrenchment all along the line in other trades. And yet all the time the steel trust has been selling it's product in Europe at reduction of from twenty to forty per ,cent of the price charged to American consumers. This is making the people here do some earnest thinking.

Excluding the two reserves in Alas

Excluding the two reserves in Alas ka, which cover nearly 5,O00,O0O acres, there are noW in the United States 51 forest reserves, with com. bined area of 57 7,S33,974 acres. These reserves are divided among 13 states and territories of the west. If they redeem arid land only to the extent or their own areas, 1t would mean 373,337 new farms of 160 acres each-for Wal ter is the vests greatest need, and Il ton is to be the most important service rendered by the reserves. What tnIs would mean in the way of increaseu 1 agricultural wealth it IS easy to see The people of the United States, as a whole, have little idea of the enormous magnitude of the interests affected by the governments forest reserve policy. Timber supply, important as this is, is 8 relatively small part of the whole purpose. The reclamation of millions Of acres of arid land, sustained Or heightened feruilty for other millions of acres of farm land, and, finally, the safeguarding for the future ot pastur- age LOT mlilions of heads of sheep anu cattle are already certain results ol that policy. It contemplates furnish ing the present and thousands of pros pective settlers wood, water, tillabie lands, and prosperous homes. Roundly stated, the purpose is to give these for est reserves their highest utility to ali who use them now or will use them hereafter.

In Gratitude or Expectation. .

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 7.-W. J. Bryan commented on Judge Parker's reply to President Roosevelt. He said: Judge Parker has pointed out the weak places in the presidents defense. He calls attention to the fact that the president not only does not deny but virtually admits that his committee has received contributions from Che trusts. The question is whether these contributions are given in gratitude or in expectation."

A WEIRD WINTER STORY
Strange Things Said to Have Hap
 pened When Temperature Was ."+.+ 35 Below Zero.

Oscar Wilte of Le Sueur, Minn., met with a most remarkable accident that very nearly cost him his life. With his rife in hand he was attempting to get within range of cat he desired to shoot, when the animal ran up into the framework supporting the water tank.
 Standing directly beneath the cat, Wilte shot straight up at it, carelessly forgetting the fact that the tank was within range.
 Tie bullet killed the cat and pierced the bottom of the tank, and in an in stant the water, gushing out, surrounded MT Wilte with a complete shower bath in a temperature of 35 degrees below zero.
 Instantly his overshoes froze to the stone foundation on which he was stand ing, and, stopping to unbuckle them, he was chained by the spray, freezing in the terrible cold as fast as it fell into help less statue of ice, stiff and immovable as a stone. Only by his stopping posture,

 Her voice broke q little here, then went on in sudden pathos of pleading: What know we women of soldiers duty or soldiers honor-we who are cherished and toasted all our lives? We know only to love, to follow-and- and-to save what we love in spite of all the World.' There was movement now, step.
 'Then I took the packet. Louis, into the. congress to pr. Franklin that very hour, and I could not tell you what I had done-and you escaped them. I thought you had gone to your death. And you didn't know! You never knew. Oh," she sobbed, Eff you would only forgive nie, only touch me, only lay vGgr gne hd,s nsar. 9n pv stHmp,e hfhd smotnereu cry. The iron bar changed against the floor. An arm, groping, trembling. touched her wet cheek. .z.+
 My God! And I doubted you" Ar mand's voice thrilled her iii a great burst of grief-wound joy. You gave the message? My darling, my darling"
 She felt herself caught up in his arms in the dark, shuddering, crying, pant ing incoherent phrases, kissing his face, his rough coat, his epaulets, stranglins with fierce terror and ecstasy of love and feeling his passion strain and fold her. It seemed to her that all of life and death was concentrated in that one embrace--that nothing existed in the cF ho csn sweet bitter moment
 A medley of shouts and ax blows on both of the doors at one time sent her into quick spasms of dread. A panel splintered a shaft of light and an arm thrust in. Armand released her, struck once with the iron bar, and the man fell back cursing, with a broken arm.
 "Shootv one shouted. Are we to be bayed by this rat!'
 Don't fire" came the response. The order was imperative.
 The blows began again. Another pam el crashed, and the holes let in more light. It fell upon Anne's pallid lips and showed her Armand's white sleeves and pale face, set, but calm. A blow struck the lock of the other door. It yielded, and the oak swung in against the stout sideboard.
 Anne felt her limbs grow cold.

 Suddenly a fusillade of musketry woke the echoes out of doors, and a crisp shout garnished it. File out of that hall and lay down arRaev'

 Mechanically, Armand put his hand to his head. He drew off the black peruke, and, all at once unconfined, his brown, curling hair fell to his shoul- ders, the ends just touching the yellow Cross of St. Louis which sparkled like a topaz on his breast The act trans formed him. The set mouth was gone, the face all softened to youthfulness.
