THIS IS MY 57th BIRTHDAY.
Henry C. Frfck.


Henry Clay Frick, one of the con-
spicuous figures in the industrial and
financial history Of the United States
was born at West Overton, Pa, De-
cember 10, 1s49. After completing
his school, which included a year at
an Ohio university he began his car
eer as clerk in the general store of
his uncle at Mt. Pleasant, Pa. The
coke business was then in it's infancy
but Mr.. Prick, even with his limited
business experience, saw that it pos
sessed vast possibilities. He borrow
ed money from his grandfather and
embarked in the business in a small
way. The business prospered from the
start and before many years grew to
be larger than all others of it's kind
in the United States combined. Be-
fore he was thirty years old Mr.. Prick
became the largest individual coke
operator in the field. In 1889 Mr..
Frick became connected with the Car
negie Steel company and he was the
central figure in the great strikes at
Homestead in 1892. During the strike
occurred one of the most exciting ep-
isodes in Mr.. Tricks career, when he
was several times shot and stabbed
by an anarchist named Berkman, who
subsequently served fifteen years in
prison for his crime.

HERE'S AN HONEST INJUN.
Found in Far North, Where He Breaks
In, but Not to Steal.

Many curious instances of the man.
ner in which the honesty Of the In
dams manifests itself are cited in the
north country Of the Canadian north.
west, says writer in the World to.
day.
One of the tales is of q native who,
desiring food and tobacco and blank.
cts. broke into the store Of remote
trading post which had been locked
and abandoned for few weeks while
the white man in charge transacted
business elsewhere. The Indian sup.
piled his needs and he left pelts in
payment for what he took and months
later he came back to ascertain IL he
had left enough.
The Indian found a post closed when
when he went to it to dispose of his
skins. Being unwilling to wait he
forcibly entered and left his pack, but
nothing with it to indicate his identi.
ty. Then he retired, fastening the
door as best he could and not until
year later did he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story, the price of the skins
was handed over to him without
question. The accounts of the white
man had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but q Just
one would be made.
An unsual degree of confidence is
reposed in the half-breeds, who are
lieutenants of the white traders. In
Edmonton saw trader give one Of
his half-breed employees $3.50 to be
taken to distant post and there dis.
tributed as wages to others. The two
shook hands and parted, not to meet
for year, and the white man said
he was sure not cent of the money
would fail to reach its rightful desti-
nation.
In the town of Edmonton itself hon.
esty seems to vie with hospitality for
the credit of being the most prominent
trait Of the citizens. Scores of thou.
sands Of dollars worth of furs are
stored there in warehouses, which are
seldom or never locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts ara
put under lock and key, and then the
purpose is more to protect from acct
dental damage than from possible
theft.

THE DIVORCE EVIL

may even, as in this noble story, be
extremely wretched, but they may be-
have with courtesy, torbearance and
dignity, and they may set far in the
foreground the welfare and the future
success in life of child.
Children come into the world by no
volition of their own. No human be-
ing is consulted beforehand as to his
willingness to accept the joys and
sorrows of this checkered existence.
Once child is born the first duty of
the family Is to the child. The real
sufferers in easy divorce are not the
parents, but the children.

HOW THE CHINAMAN swEARs.
An Interesting Form Of the Celestial
Oath

All Interesting fOrm OF the Celestial
Oath.
Mr.. Mead, the magistrate at the
Thames police court is quite right in
the belief to which he gave express
sion the other day, that the cere-
monies of blowing out the lighted can
die and breaking saucer, by which
the Chinese witnesses have hitherto
been sworn by magistrates clerks IN
this country are not vogue in Chi
nese courts and are consequently
merely the invention of an English
man.
AS a matter of fact, as Sir Robert
Kenaway Douglas, one of our highest
authorities on the Chinese life, liter
ature and manners, was good enough
to explain to representative of the
Pail Mail Gazette the other day, oaths
are not recognized at all in the Chi
nese courts of justice. Their only
place with the Chinese is in social and
private affairs. Il swear l will come
back to you next year," or 81 swear
l will repay you what l owe" one
Chinaman may say to another, and
as guarantee, as it were, of his
good faith, and as emblematic of
the fate that may overtake him if he
fails in his promise, he may chop
off the head of fowl. This barbar-
Gus form of taking an oath among
private individuals is, however, Sir
Robert said, not of frequent occu.'-
ence. More common is the custom
of employing tallies. If the Chinaman
engages to do anything he will some
times break a stick or shell, or
something Of that sort, and taking
one part himself, leave the other with
the second party of the contract Or
it may be that the object thus broken
is a saucer, the separate parts of
which are completed
The Rev. James Doolittle, who was
for many years a missionary in Chi
ma from the United States, gives in
his Social Life of the Chinese" some
interesting examples of similar cere-
monials that were in force during the
time he was in the country and no
doubt exist at the present day. Be-
throthals, arranged by go-betweens
and matchmakers, he tells us, are not
binding on the parties until an allie
gorical pastboard card has been ex-
changed between them. A married
daughter who presents her family
during the Festival of the Seventh
Month with duck and other arti-
cles always has one half of the duck
returned to her in accordance with
the custom that is known as "di-
viding the duck"
Vows are often made not to kill
certain kinds of animals, and the seal
is set to them by the burning of in
cense and vegetable candles. In
cense, indeed, plays prominent part
in the personal oaths that are taken
by the Chinese. Those, for example
who vow to eat nothing but clean rice
on certain days place stick of in
cense in censor while they eat
their meal, or hold it burning in their
hands. There is no reference to the
act of extinguishing lighted candle,
but it is easy to believe that such a
custom may prevail in at least some
parts of the country, for the inter-
probation would be, MAY my soul be
blown away and perish as the ligat
of this candle if do not that which
now solemnly pledge myself to do"
