with a smile than with a frown."

Mr. Schwab's charitable inclinations
have led mostly in the direction of per-
sonal gifts to his workmen. lavish tips,
donations for the purpose of building
Catholic churches at Loretto and else
where and contributions to industrial
schools. He is known to have given
one old employee at Braddock $1,000
and smaller amounts to many others.
Liberal Subscription.
following story is told:
One day a young man approached
the steel trust president for n sub
scription TO charitable purpose.
Schwab heard his story, turned to an
acquaintance and began talking about
something else. in the meantime feel
ing in his pockets for loose change.
The young mans heart sank, for he
had expected liberal subscription.
Finally the steel man fished up a bill
with his talk. still .delving into his

pockets. Two or three times bin was
dug up. after which the charity solicit
or thanked him and departed. When
he got outside the man counted the
money and almost dropped dead at
finding it amounted to $1,000.
Schwab's chief hobby, however, IS
Industrial schools. He is almost as
enthusiastic on this subject as Carne-
gle is on libraries. At Braddock and
Homestead very fine training schools
have been erected as a result OF dona-
lions made by the former steel presi-
dent He has made other like benefac-
lions in other places. AT Richmond
Beach, New York, he has Hent hull
dreds of thousands in an effort to
found an institution wherein cripples
may be taught some manual employ
ment that will keep them from want
In speaking Of the gifts made by
himself and Mrs. Schwab he mentions
his fad for industrial training and
adds touch that is not without pathos
when he says:
Now, it's along these lines that we
are going to spend our money, for
manual training schools-that is. when
we get some to spend. What little we
have done in the philanthropic line has
been SO bitterly attacked that we are
not going to do anything more just
now. 1 may be little sensitive, but
public criticism hurts; it really hurts"

Novel Electric Light Experiments.

The Danish Biological society is at
present experimenting with electric
lighting of the deep strait known as
the Little Belt, says the New York
Tribune The lights are far beneath
the surface of the waters so as to
light the sea bottom. The intention is
not, as might be supposed, TO make i'm
possible the clandestine passage of sub
marines, but purely and simply to
brighten the eels and to prevent them
from passing into the outer seas and
thus being lost to the Danish fisheries.
The experiments are based upon the
fact that these fish are we'll known TO
be afraid of light and never, for exam
pie, migrate during the time of a full
moon. BE- the eXpedient of arranging
whole row of artificial full moons
across the mouth of the strait the willy
Dane hopes to prevent them from mi
grating at all.

me sensational features OF the Monte
Carlo story have been denied by Mr..
Schwab and his friends. but the I'M
fortunate impression created by its
wide publication yet remains. AS for
his health, it never has entirely re-
covered 1t led him finally to resign
the presidency of the steel trust and
doubtless had much to do with his re-
cent illness.
As to the reason of his success, a
steel man says: "Schwab's great pow
er lies in his ability to handle men. He
is the ablest director of labor that the
world ever knew The vast army of
steel workers trust him implicitly. But
for him there would be strike after
strike"
One of the Loretto fathers who
taught young Schwab. however, has a
slightly different view. He says that
the boys nerve" was the finest thing
he has ever seen.
''If 1 were asked the elements of his
success in life," adds this preceptor,
II would say that they were industry,
bluff and popularity"
When asked as to his own idea of
what had pushed him to the front, Mr.
Schwab replied:
Il always rely on myself. / am a
great believer in self reliance-manli-
ness which Is manhood in its noblest
FORM"
In keeping with this idea, he said at
another time that the two best assets
young man could have were to be
born poor and to know how to work.
Always Good Natnred.
But whether he or his friends recOg-
nize 1t or not, one of the secrets OF
Charley Schwab's rise lies in his I'M
falling good nature. That he recognizes
the value of this quality in others If
not in himself is shown by an Incl
dent
When he was elected president of the
Carnegie company the young steel man
noticed that there was an air of great
soberness, not to say gloom, about the
meetings Of the board of directors. He

Christina. In England.


When Cromwell ruled England he Is
sued an edict against all festivities at
Christmas The festival was altogeth-
er abolished, and the displaying of hol-
ly and mistletoe and other emblems of
the happy time was held to be sedi-
tious. In 1914 the long parliament
commanded that Christmas day should
be observed as a strict fast, when all
people should think over and deplore
the great sin Of which they and their
forefathers had been guilty in making
merry at that season. This act SO pro-
voked the people that on the following
natal day the law was violently re-
sisted in many places. Though these
scenes were disgraceful, they served
their purpose and put an end to an I'M
just order. When Charles II. regained
the throne the populace once more
made Christmastide a time of rejoic-
ing.

bright places in both their lives. He
was educated in a Catholic academy at
Loretto and drove Il stage to help Pay
his way The smiling. freckled faced
boy caught the fancy of a travelling
grocer and as a result he got place at
eighteen as a grocer's clerk in Brad
dock. Pa. Captain Jones, the manager
of the big steel plant. often bought
things at the store. and the young man
made a hit with him. So Charley land
ed job at driving stakes for an engi-
neering corps In the mills. His salary
at the store had been $3.50 per week.
In the mills it started at $50 per
month. He did not remain long driv
ing stakes. He had studied engineer
ing at Loretto and soon was set at
drafting. Captain Jones wished some
new plans drawn Not knowing what
engineer to select, he required that all
the corps work two hours a day over
time without extra pay. Shortly after
this he met the head engineer and
asked how the men took the order.

thoroughly ratified. The steel man,
however, carried the thing off with
tory. When the din became too great
he turned to the president and began
telling a story. This surprised the
members so much that they subsidized,
and he went on with his speech.
A Practical Joke.
AS a sample of his practical joking
the following story is told by his
friends:
During game of billiards at his
home one night. when the score was
close, he suddenly turned to his oppo-
nent and said:
I'll bet my trousers against yours
that 1 beat you"
VERY well; it's Il CO." was the reply.
Mr.. Schwab won. He demanded his
winnings, and when the other heSitated
the other members of the party began
to deride him. He then disrobed.
Shortly after the loser said:
well, Charley, surely you will lend
me q pair?"
Indeed will not" said Mr.. Schwab.
what You don't expect me to go
home in this attire?"
"Why, of course; that Is where you
lose"
He took to the alleyways for his
home six blocks away and was chased
by two policemen who had been sent
after him by his fellow merrymakers.
Whatever one may think of steel
trusts and 100000 houses, to say
nothing of money sowing, fast automo-
biles, which are another of the Schwab
fads, Monte Carlo plunging and reck-
less display generally, he cannot help
responding to human nature, and Of
this Charley Schwab has liberal sup

A BIG. smiling, red checked boy,
"a CHEEKY with everybody and

Is yet. He will never entirely get over
that even II he lives to be eighty. He
certainly has not recovered from II at
forty-four.
Schwab has money to burn-and
burns IT, He has good nature TO lavish
everywhere-and lavishes it. He likes
folks. simply can't help it, and they
can't help liking him. They may not
approve a single thing he does or
stands for, but his personality is so
open, so winning. SO generous. so sun
shiny, that they cannot escape Its
charm 1t caught Captain Jones. the
Carnegie. IT caught the workmen and
the department bosses. 1t caught finan-
cial kings in Wall street and hereditary
kings In Europe. II caught and catches
every one. Practically everybody dis
approved his plunging at Monte Carlo.
practically everybody criticised his
open handed throwing away OF money,
practically everybody thought his 81
100000 house on Riverside drive n
monumental piece of folly. practically
everybody had hard words to say of
the steel trust he helped TO organize
and headed. but at the same time prac
tically everybody. at least everybody
who had met him, had n warm spot in
his heart for the man.

WIsCoNsINs claim to place in the
front rank as dairy state has again
been signally demonstrated by the rec
ord of the Guernsey COW, Yeksa Sun
beam, which last year produced the
equivalent of 1000 pounds of butter, the
highest officially authenticated record
for years production of any dairy COW
in the world. The results of the tests
by which this record was established
have just been published by the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment station. Yeksa Sunbeam is owned
by Mr.. Fred Reitbrock, of Milwaukee.
when we consider that dairy cow
yielding less than one-half the amount
of milk and one third that of butter fat
produced by Yeksa Sunbeam is gener-
ally looked upon as a very good COW,
said Professor Woll conductor of the
test, "the production of this Guernsey
cow becomes truly phenomenal.

REFORM 10 football is apparently to be
accomplished. Public sentiment de
mands that the game as it has beer
played the last few years must be ahol
ished or reformed in respectable nstitu
tions of learning. The smuggling and
rough play that leaves trail of manned
and dead is too much like the gladiator
ial combats of Roman paganism and toe
much like the disruptable modern prize
fight to be longer tolerated. Recently
several universities voted to abolish foot
ball for the present. Two or three other
colleges took similar action three months
ago. Meanwhile intercollegiate football
committees have been struggling with
the rules of the game and new rules will
be adopted. The effort is to make the
game more open and to stamp out the
tricks of rough play.

In recent interview, e. Ell. Smith, the

of the setback to the Cuban tobacco
crop. Mr.. Smith has spent part of the
winter in Cuba. He says the heavy
rains there did considerable damage.
Although in many sections growers were
able to set out fresh beds, the storms
will result in much late tobacco. and ex-
perience has shown that Cuban late set
leaf is not up to the standard of early
grown. Mr.. Smith says there will in all
likelihood be a shortage in the next
Cuban tobacco crop.
