strong demands for steel making IRON which
have characterized the markets for a lonv
time are a. insistent as ever, with all fur.

activity is witnessed in all channels OF the
foundry iron consuming trades. In The steel
trades makers are pushed TO the limits Of
capacities, and few are the manufacrorin
which are not from three to four months
behind as to promised deliveries. As foundry
iron makers forecast the situation The little

Out OF these mother principles and like
maNlms, Benjamin Franklin told men
how they could In seventy years be worth

he taught, for when he was co years old
he had quarter OF million dollars. and
during the last twenty years OF his life
lived In leisure and served his country,
Franklin's Personal Life.
In studying Fanklin's personal life
three things impress the scholar His
simplicity was most striking. At the
court OF France he wore his brown
homeSpun suit and fur cap, even on the
days when he was the hero and idol OF
Paris, and his progress through the city
was like a triumphaI procession. His
tastes were simple, his food and clothes
plaiuest Vanity and conccit We're for
eign TO his spirit He hated show. Not
less unique was his horror OF debt. He
bought nothing on time, assumed no OBJ
legations, paid he went, and soon his
savings supported him. Interest on in
vested capital is n slave that serves you
by day and night. never grows tired. Is

tho ball and chain that hangs about the

because tho ball and chain is fastened to

that hc would teach the people OF tho
