HE GREETED THE YOUNG MAN CORDIALLY.
sister, Rose, who was much more his
style, and doubtless in the course of
the evening he could get Kate off by
herself.
So the four sat on the steps and
made merry, and when Phil proposed
walk Fred cordially seconded the
idea, and they all got as far as the
gate together Phil thought there
couldn't be better time for telling Il
girl you loved her than the quiet moon
lit night nor better place than the
deserted streets Of a quiet suburb.
But when they reached the gate Rose
decided she wanted a wrap, and in
stead Of waiting for her, as he should
have done, Fred strolled on up the
street with Kate, and Phil had to wait
1t wasn't hilarious walk. Rose
seemed as out Of sorts as Phil, and
they were both glad when they reached
the gate again and could get away
from each other. Phil would not ac.

porch until Fred and Kate came home,
He didn't want to see Fred at all. But
be consoled himself with the thought
that very likely Kate was as disap-
pointed AS he himself, and the very
next day he telephoned for permission
to come UP that evening, 1t was gra.
clously granted, and he went down
town and bought ring, being an old
fashioned lover.
The next. afternoon he CHANGED to
meet Kate on the street, and she
stopped him. "By the way, bring over
your banjo tonight" she said. "We'll
have a little porch party, and your
banjo is always 80 much In demand"
And then he began to wonder whether
il could be possible that she might not
care for him. If she did, why on earth
was she always getting a lot Of people
around when he came? Then his brow
cleared. "T'he dear girl" he thought
"She is afraid / will see that she
cares, and 1t Is her way Of defending
herself"
The porch party was jolly, and there

1t had just dawned upon Phill
Smart that Kate Hampton was the girl
he wanted. He wondered how he could
ever have hesitated or ever have had
a doubt. Why, she was simply cut out
for him, he thought, as he dressed with
care and precision 10 30 and tell her SO,
Il should have told her months ago,
he mentally argued, "She must think
I'm an awful duffer," and he wondered
anew that he had been such a blind
fool as not to know what had been the
matter with him all these months. He
believed now that he had been In love
with her ever since they had gone 10
the kindergarten and had not known It,
His heart was very light. and he was
singing at the top Of lusty baritone
voice, ''oh, but love you. dear" when
there was thump at his door and his

One of the most interesting pieces
Of new shaft sinking work done in the
upper peninsula Is the concrete shaft
sunk by the Cleveland Cliffs company

made by the officials the Mining Jonr-
nal says
The contract for the shaft was given
TO the Foundation company of New
York the latter part of August. 1t was
several weeks later before work was
started. as the company had difficulty
procuring men.

kind in this county. but there are two

STEEL CORPORATION
MAINTAINS WAGES
ORDER TO CUT EMPLOYEES PAY HAS
BEEN WITHDRAWN
MEANS MINERS PAY STAYS UP
independent Companies viii Not Gu
Unless the Steel Corporations Does
Likewise

One of the most important pieces Of
news given out this month in regard
10 the future Of the iron and iron ore
business was the statement that the
United States Steel Corporation had
decided to Withdraw It's order for cut
Of the mems pay and that the present
wage scale will be continued
Stripped 20 its core this means that
the pay Of the miners Of this district
will stay at the figure il now is, which.
blythe e-way il the highest wage that
has ever been paid in this district
An order went out 10 the subsidiary
concerns and sub heads Of the corpora
tion several weeks ago to cut the pay
OF all men in the employ Of the corpor-
alton. Il is understood that this cut
was 25-precent and in some cases as
high as 3Opercent Since that order
was sent out the finance committee Of
Of the corporation has had a meeting
and decided to change their minds on
the proposition. They decided that it
was best for all concerned TO maintain
the present scale Of wages and accord
ingly n second order was sent out TO
let the pay stay where 10 is.
Ia conversation with local mining
man, acquainted with the inner coun-
ellis OF the iron and iron ore business.
we were told during the week that If
this report is true as stated in the
newspapers. no cut will be made in the
mining regions this winter said he
The independents have followed
the lead OF the Steel corporation in all
matters of this kind and / am certain
that they will do SO in this instance
In fact everyone connected with the
business fervently hopes that the pre-
sent wage scale Is maintained Tor it
means that the price of ore will be
kept up and there will be some profit
in mining
Various reasons are given ont as the
basis Of this change Of policy ON the
part Of the Steel corporation One Is
that the corporation feels that very
high profit showing of the last few
quarters neoessiates the meintainance
Of the high wage and another is that
the corporation does not wish 10 jeop
ardize the hope Of a continuance Of
republican rule by reducing as II re
cognizes that the republican party
stands for business progression and n
change in party administration would
be detrimental 70 the commercial inter
ests OF the country.
