A man prominent in the steel trade
tells your correspondent that there is
an unprecedented demand for
structural steel, and That all the bic
steel mills are behind in deliveries
and filled up with orders for six
months ahead. The demand is ac-
counted for partly in the fact that
steel is superseding wood for
structural purposes and thousands Oh
orders come from small cities and vii

used. The prediction of the authority
quoted is that 1906 will see a year of

too that pig iron is going to be scarce
very soon. AS iron and steel are con-

said in part: 81 have known the de-
ceased from my earliest recollection;
have known him to be industrious and
honest, being always ready to do his
part in a public way. The adjoining
building which is being constructed
was under the supervision Of the de-
ceased when alive. The building is
without roof: other hands will work
to its completion. AS with the build
ing so II Is with the spiritual struc'
ture Of Mr.. Adams-it is incomplete,
he has gone where he himself will
complete 1t. The opportunities of life
are given to prepare us for the future.
If we do much In life our foundations
will be that much broader, but whether
much or little has been done in life
our work will continue In the here
after. One-half hour after the de-
ceased was born his mother died, thus
giving her life for him. Those who
reared and cared for him should feel
that they have been eminently sue
cessful. He lived useful career, was
clean and honorable, none more so.
While not as religiously inclined as
some, he had faith in the religion Of
his parents. Our work in this life
will be taken up when we reach the
other side and can be added upon.
Some persons in life become debased
and depraved, but the fact should not
be forgotten that all such were given
lives for a purpose. Some persons
sink so low that they are induced to
take their own lives In order to blot
out and remove the thought of their
past lives This never can be done.
Whether our works in life are for
good or evil we must meet them, there
fore those who commit such acts, in
stead of getting relief, intensity their

life brings sunlight and joy in our
