addressed some Of his most brilliant
remarks directly to herself.
The professor of sociology was
speaking of marriage; but something
his youth perhaps, or the subtle in
fluence of the summer weather-had
lightened the gravity of his theme in
such wise that he handled it playfully.
and half reverently, half humorously,
he quoted the final sentences of the
ceremony used by the church. His
voice was pleasant, the last words Of
the well-known formula falling melli.
fluously from his lips. AS he ended, he
turned again with a smile and a bow
to the substitute teacher.
"There!" he said impressively. See
how easily you are given away?'

Profits of the Packers.

There has been great deal of dis
port shows that the profits of ,-e
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume Of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agta-
ton regarding the beef trust" began,
ton. 1t appears from The census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin Of Gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year. was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
of bein-,. in trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible in busi-
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits
of the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as
the devil found in shearing the pig:

RAISING CATTLE IN WEST.
How Refrigerator Car Built Up a
Trade the Trust Ruined.


ITO produce beef that will stand re-
frigerating and long carrying" writes
Mr.. Russell in the May installment
of "The Greatest Trust in the World"
in Everybody's magazine, cattle must
be fed on food that contains certain
flesh-making elements. In some parts
of the country there grows what is
called short grass which has all the
required nutrition. But the supply o.
short grass cattle is not sufficient.
The only other food that will make
the quality of beef requisite for re-
trigeration purposes is corn. Hence,
In the great corn belt of the west
missouri, Iowa, southern Minnesota.
ern Kansas the practice came to be
this: The farmer bought from the
western ranges in western Nebraska
and Colorado range cattle that had
been matured on common grass, took
them to his farm and fed them on
corn for six or eight months. When
they had been sufficiently finished Cd
corn they were shipped to be slaugh
tered.
But this practice required capital,
The farmer must buy the range cattle
and pay for shipping them to his
farm. Consequently, in almost every
case he became borrower at his To-
cal bank and the bank carried his
loan until he effected the sale of his
fattened cattle. Therefore a great
business grew UP for the country
bank.
$50 long as there was a free, unim-
peded and manipulated cattle mar
ket both parties to these transactions
went their ways rejoicing. The farm
err found that selling his corn turned
into cattle fat was far more remuner
alive than selling it to the elevator;
the bank loaned much money at fair
rates and on good legitimate .secur-
ity"

The Weavinu,

She gazed at the weaving sadly
The warp and weft in the loom,
Where the bright colored threads in the
fabric
Seemed always o'ershadowed by gloom.
And ever she saw the tangles
OF threads, so often astray,
And il grieved her heart sore that the
Weaver
Used only few bright and gay.
So one day she cried in sorrow:
oh, tell me, Weaver, | pray,
Dost thou care if the threads are 50
tangled,
And so many so somber and gray?
'T pray thou wilt weave me- Weaver.
In warp and weft of thy loom,
Only coors like tints of the Autumn,
With never a shadow of gloom"
The Weaver worked on. in silence,
Unseen by the eye of man,
And he lovingly fashioned the fabric
According to pattern and plan.
At last, when the web was finished,
One late Summer evening tide,
With the hands that had guided the
weaving,
He beckoned her to his side.
And there. all complete, he showed her
From every tangle free
That the web of her life had been woven
In heaven-wrought tapestry.

Russell SAGE in a Turkish Bath.

Russell Sage once visited Boston. 1t
is said that after rather dusty jour-
ney he thought he would like bath.
He visited a Turkish bath, and, in
quiring the price of a bath, was told

On the proprietor telling him that
they would sell him twelve bath tick
cts for $40, Sage's reply was: How
do know I'll live twelve years, any
how?" Which the proprietor of the
bath thought indicated that the mill
lionaire takes a bath once year,
