Of the great ironmaster's career since

made him SO marked a figure of the

was speaking, his very earliest start
when he was sweeping out an Office
to begin his day.
Yes" he said. 81 was one OF the

were my fellows at that work? David

The Postmaster Generals Pants
Fitted.

llOke Smith, Postmaster General
during Cleyeland'S last administration,
tells story of darby employed at
his home who was usually the recipient
of all of Mr.. Smiths cast-off clothing.
Many Of the coats, vests and trousers,
when cast aside, were of fine quality
and as result this negro shOne in the
society Of his fellowmen. On one oc-
casiOn the ex-POstmaster General pur.
chased an elegant pair of trousers from
Paris. Somehow, these trousers would
not wear out. Mr.. Smith would wear
them day i'll and day out, rain or shine,
and if apparently sOiled little clean
ing up would make them as good as
new. FSy what he would, the servant
could not get the master to cast them
away.
One rainy day, Mr.. Smith came home
from a ride into the country on horse
back with his trousers very much the
worse for mud and water. "Sambo."
he said to his helper, take this pair
OF pants out and give them a good
cleaning, as I want to wear them TO-
morrow" SambO came back in an
hour or two, his face sad and gloomy.
Deed MarSa HOke," he said, somehow

TaIue of advertising.

Once, beset with pain and trouble.
When the day was dreary and dark
And felt most weary sinking
Of my liver, lungs and heart.
In the papers I was scanning,
Advertisements by the score,
Trusting there to find some doctor
In whose ears my woes I'd pour.
Then there flashed across my vision
AS if writ in living light;
Tell, oh, tell, old Doctor Cartin!
Tell, before you sleep, this night.
All your woes and all your troubles,
All your aches and every pain
He can sooth you, he can cure you;
Put new life in every vein.
And when all your troubles vanish,
And your liver works all right,
And your lungs resume their functions
And your heart With joy is bright.
Then you'll sing loud Hallelujahs,
And you'll pay your bill in gold,
Thankful that to DR.. Gartin
All your troubles have been told.
And you'll know that lucky Fortune
Made you know, at any rate,
That it pays for all to keep their
Advertisements up to date.

IMPLEMENT MAKERS MEET.
SHOW GREAT EXPANSION or
FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL Nh
CHINERY TRADE.
Pass Resolutions For Land Law Re-
form-Against Giving Interstate
Commerce Commission Power to
Fix Railroad Rates.

A recent meeting Of the National AS
sociation of Agricultural Implement
and Vehicle Manufacturers at Niagara
Falls brought forth a number Of inter
estlng and important facts relative to
the great progress which has been made
in recent years in the making Of all
classes Of farm and working imple-
mentS and also the great eXpanSe OF
this class of trade abroad.
Since 1899, when our exports in this
line for the first time shot ahead Of
those Of Great Britain, the United
States has been easily the heaviest cX-
porter of agricultural implements and
machinery in the world. Manufacturers
claim, and their efforts to secure for
Cign markets seem to Substantiate it,
that exports play a most important
part in the successful conduct Of agri-
cultural implement manufacturing.
The last census puts the annual value
Of this class Of production at $lO1,O00,-
600, and it is estimated that the pres
ent years production is greater. This
