POETIC JUSTICE IN HIGH FINANCE.

When trust meets trust then what?
1t isn't often that trust does meet trust and that is
why the county is rather amused the spectacle of a
fight between Hartman and the United States Steel
poration
Just the kind of fight Though of different de-
gree) ght take place between poor little General
Public and any of the big trusts
Hartman is the railroad king and the billion dollar
United States steel corporation is king among the
trusts.
1t happened this way:
Hartman wanted rails for his railroads. He couldn't
get the steel trust to make the right figure for next
the kind of rail he wanted he turned to the Ten
nessee Coal Iron Co., Independent concern and gave
it contract for 10000 tons of steel rails
Then he laughed at the steel trust.
And other railroad maenates, seeing what he had
done they began to talk Of withdrawing their patronage
from United States Steel.
1t would have been all right, and everything would
have worked out beautifully, if it hadn't been for the
Ma ST. panic. But when values began to go down. United
States Steel quietly stepped in and bought Tennessee
Coal g. Iron-all of it.
The next thing that the steel trust sent Hartman
word that it the holder of his contract for $50
OOO tons OF certain kind of steel rails and that it was
very sorry, but it would be unable to furnish him with
these rails on time
In other words it said "Take what we offer YOU at
the price offer, do without"

turned the trick him. They held him up just as he

A hanson pulled up in front of
799 Park lane, and a slim figure
of a woman, dressed in deep
mourning, ran up the broad flight
of marble steps leading to the
house. Her features were closely
concealed by thick veil, SO that
the fOOtman who answered the
ring could make nothing of the
visitor Her voice was absolutely
steady as she asked to see Lord
Ravenspur at once.

The servant hesitated. Some
thing about this woman command
ed his respect. The hour was still
early for Park lane, barely 9
O'Clock. and the notable thorough
fare was practically deserted.
From the distance came the hoarse
cries of a number of newsboys who
were racing across the park. One
of them came stumbling down
Park lane, filling the fresh spring
atmosphere with his shouts. With
the curiosity of his class the foot
man turned to listen.

Many people regarded Lord
Ravenspur as the most fortunate

had almost unlimited wealth as
well. And nature had endowed
him with a handsome presence
and an intellect far beyond the
common. Apparently there { was
nothing that Ravenspur could not
do. He was a fine sportsman and
large number of his forty odd
years had been spent in big game
shooting abroad. His time In
England was devoted almost ex

An Intelligent Dog.

The owner OF an old sheep-dog
tells a good story of his intelligence.
This collie has been much an
noyed by the conduct of neighbor s
dog, which IS too lazy to bury bones
for bis own consumption, but great
ly enjoys unearthing the treasures of
others. When Dash had been de-
prived of several choice stores In this
way he evidently meditated over the
vevsng matter, and at last bright
idea came to him.
One day after dinner, when the
neighbours dog was out of the way,
Dash began to dig a hole not far
from where his master sat watching
him, and In It he deposited big
and still emincntly desirable bone.
Then he covered II well with earth,
disappeared for a moment and came
trotting back with small bone,
which had seen its best and second
best days, but was still good enough
In Dash's opinion, for a thief. This
bone he laid on the earth which hid
the big one. and scraped the earth
over IT with elaborate care.
His master had the satisfaction OF
knowing that the ruse was success
full, for the next morning he saw the
thief hastily leaving the premises
with a small bone in mis- mouth. La
ter I'm the day Dash reaped the re-
ward Of his wisdom as he sat munch-
ng the big bone at his leisure.
