lett. OF the First Congregational Church,
preached to-day on THE Art of Love"
Among the things he said were:
Love making is yet an art that may
be taught, and there are many rules to
observe in winning a wife.
Few persons know enough about the
art of making love or the way to win a
wife.

How long should a man court before he
pops the question? We'll, he may be q

girl ought to have the right to say No
once or twice before she gives up her
liberty. That is a woman's prerogative,
and fellow who hasn't the sand to stick
to it until he gets a clear and sure
enough refusal or she yields is not worth
much anyhow. A man with half an eye
ought to be able TO tell something Of the
signs Of the times.
The overcautious man wants to have
everything his own way before he asks
the question. In my opinion that is no
kind OF man II does him good to be
taken down few times.
Men naturally are conceited and won
der how a woman can tire of having
! them sit from to IL o'clock saying little.
II he is truly in love he should be willing
to take some risks. The girl is the more
helpless party and cannot propose. It is
high compliment paid TO a woman to
ask her to be wife. and a man should
be willing to do it when he believes she
is the one for him.

SCHWAB REJOINS STEEL TRUST
Pittsburg Fears That Competition In
Trade Is Nearing End.

Pittsburg, Dec. 22.-The series Of meet
ings of steel producers called for New
York in the coming week is likely to
prove highly important. II is understood
that there will be a general and COM
plete canvass Of conditions, and a de-
cisiOnl will be reached as TO whether prices
are to be reduced or not. At this time
it does not look as though there would
be any material decrease. Pittsburg peo-
pie are Of opinion that conditions do not
warrant any.
The taking in Of Charles NJ. Schwab on
the general committee of Chairman Gary,
of the Steel Corporation. has caused a
feeling Of dissatisfaction in the home OF
iron and steel 1t would seem that
the corporation has at last recognized a
great power in the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany as its opponent, and has sought a
compromise.
When the greatest competitor of the
corporation has been placated, as seems
10 be the case. those who make theiI
living in the steel mills are fearful that
a deal of some sort has been made which
will work against them.
