Ways Of Women.

Two men were shopping in the
glove department. One of them
bought a pair of womens gloves, size
5ai.
They're for your sister Kate" he
said.
Great Scott" exclaimed the ether,
what did you get them so small for?
Kate can't get her little finger into a
glove of that size. She wears 6M,"

chaser, but she would never forgive
me if / bought the right number.
When buying gloves for woman you
must always, If you wish to retain her
love and respect, get them two or
three sizes too small. She would hold
au eternal grudge against you IL you
let her know that you thought her
hand as large as it really is. once

girl because ! gave her a 61a glove,
which was her right size, instead Of

New York.--More than 100000 men

tho Industries annually in the United

This Industrial carnage costs the

more fateful than war. ~

The statement Of earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation for the
quarter ended on March 81, which will
be made public after the meeting of the
directors next Tuesday, will bring its
total cash surplus to more than 800,
GOO, 900. Net earnings, it is estimated,
will amount to more than $40, 500, 600,
compared with $50, 634, 400 in the cor
responding quarter last year and $lS,
AIS, 231 in 1905, leaving large surplus
available for dividends. On March 81
the big steel corporation completed the
first six years of its existence. at the
time of its organization the prediction
was freely made in many quarters that
the concern would not last five years,
and that the property would revert to
the bondhOlders at the end of that time.
Instead of this, however, the corpora
ton has increased in strength, both
financially and physically, and has ac-
complained better results than even
expected by its optimistic promoters.
Still, with all of this tremendous gain
and big dividends, the steel trust will not
listen for moment to reduction in
tariff rates.

Kaiser Opposes Exposition.

Berlin, April 24.-Opposition OF
Kaiser William Is expected to cause the
abandonment Of the proposal to hold az
international exposition in Berlin 10
1913. Most significant, however, is the
reason on which the German war lord
bases his objection. The Emperor be-
lieves the possibility Of Germany being
drawn into European war before the
time set for the exposition is too great
for the nation to take the risk involved
in arranging an International exposition.
reformation coming to the correspondent
OF the Publishers Press is that both the
Kaiser and the government have dis
couraged the exposition scheme. The
international situation, the Kaiser thinkp,
is too critical for the promotion OF ex'
positions OF peace The statement that
Kaiser William opposes the proposed
exposition on such grounds has caused
n great sensation. II is argued that the
government fears the peace OF the world
is in constant jeopardy and great uneasi-
ness has been caused among the people
who feel they do not know all the COM
plicaiions OF the International situation.
