What Nature Has Done for the
American lronm0nger.

We must recognize the lavish hand
with which Nature prepared the way for
our industrial triumphs, by accumulat-
ing along the southern and western
shores of Lake Superior those vast beds
of iron ore, which are not only the most
extensive in the world, but are so placed
that the labor of excavating and loading
for shipment is practically nothing. The
ore, which is extremely rich, sixty per
cent of it being iron, lies practically at
the surface of the ground; and it is 30
loose and friable that all that Is neces-
sary for its recovery is to run in train
of cars, set steam shovel at work;
and load the material directly on to the
cars. This work has actually been done
at the rate of $500 tons in ten hours,
and this with the labor of but eight men
at cost of five cents only per ton for
labor. The supply is enormous, single
corporation having recently estimated
its holdings at 500,000,000 tons, valued
at as many dollars. These vast and
easily-recovered supplies, however,
would have limited value, were there
not available proportiOnate supply of
coking coal; and this has been provided
with an equally lavish hand in the
famous Connellsville district, where a
single coke company on entering into
one of the great industrial combinations
of the past few years, stated that it
owned 10000 acres of coal lands in this
region, and 1000 coke ovens. Within
easy reach of the coal district there are
also large quarries of limestone, the
third of the three constituents In the
charge of blast furnace.

Have you an Auto ?
IF NOT you NAY FIND DIFFICULTY In
SECURING A SERVANT GIRL.

IT'S coming fast, brethren. The next
thing will be the naughty servant girl
who spurns employment with the family
that are going to spend the summer ct
the seashore because she needs mountain
air for her asthma.
Already the discriminating nurse lady
who only joins out with those who
have their own touring cars has been
found. She answered an advertisement
which an uptown family put in the pa
per the other day for neat girl to look
after child.
She was a neat girl all right, and with
al, q peculiar one. The lady OF the
house had answered most of the pre-
scribed questions satisfactorily. The
applicant seemed reasonably we'll satis-
fed with the hours, the work and the
appearance of the family. She apparent
~ had made up her mind that she would
be able to put up with TIE sort Of food
they were accustomed to, for time,
anyway.
But Just when It seemed that the con-
tract was about to be closed and the
proud and happy lady Of the house was
shaking hands with herself mentally
the prospective nurse-lady halted.
"Have yez an autymobile?" she asked,
searchingly."
"why, no." confessed the lady, shame
facedly. $3.50
:Then there's nawthin' doin'," said the
nurse-lady. "Ye see, mum, the last place
wurked at they had an autymobile, and
livery night used to take the baby out
for ride of an hour or SO In the autymo-
bile. 1t got so an autymobile ride would
put him to shleep when Everything else
failed, and enjoyed it meself. So I've
made up me mind, mum, not to work
onywhere where they have no automO-
bile. That'll be all, mum. Good day."
And she was gone.-New York World.

BY ONE WdO DID.
A friend who heard that l sometimes
suffer from insomnia told me Of sure
cure. "Eat pint of peanuts and drink
two or three glasses of milk before going
to bed" said he, land I'll warrant you'll
be asleep within half an hour" did
as suggested, aud now for the benefit OF
others who may be afflicted in the same
way, feel 1t to be my duty to report
what happened, 80 far as / am able this
morning to recall the details. First let
me say, my friend was right. / did &c
to sleep very soon after my retirement.
Then friend with his head under bis
arm came along and asked me If want.
ed to buy his feet. was negotiating
with him, when the dragon on which !
was riding slipped out of his skin and
left me floating in midair. While was
considering how l should get down q
bull with two heads peered over the
edge of the wall and said he would haul
me up If would first climb up and rig a
windlass for him. So as I was sliding
down themountain side the brakeman
came in, and l asked him when the train
would reach my station. I'VE passed
your station 400 years ago." he said,
calmly folding the train up and slipping
it into his vest pocket.
At this juncture the clown bounded
into the ring and pulled the center pole
out of the ground, lifting the tent and
all the people in it up, up, while l stood
on the earth below watching myself 60
out of sight among the clouds above.
Then awoke and found that had
been asleep almost 10 minutes.-Good

A Nation of Cripp|es
Rheumatism Be-
yond Control
The Only Hope to Rheumatic
Suffers is Uric-0 Treatment

II rheumatism continues to spread as It has in
the past few years, Il would seem as though we
wouli before long become nation Of cripples.
The terrible destructiveness Of this disease is
apparent on every side OF US. Almost nine out
OF ten of the cripples one meets had their afilc'
ton brought on by Rheumatism. How many
thousands more there are that are hopelessly
bed. ridden and whom we never see: Rheuma.

never cure itself and II neglected is bound to
grow worse her than better. II you ever have
any twinges Of Rheumatism 20 to your druggist
and get bottle of Uric.O, the wonderful new
Rheumatic Specific. II will cure you and 1t Is
the only treatment in the world that will cure
you permanently and thoroughly. Uric-O cures
by It's direct action on the muscles, blood and
kidneys. 1t seeks out the poisonous Uric and
Rheumatic Acid and drives II from the syatem,
and Il is only treatment of such nature that
will ever cure Rheumatism. Liniments and
plasters only serve TO drive 1t from one spot to
another. They never cure Rheumatism, be.
cause Il Is primarily blood disease. and until
the blood Is cleared from the poison, cure can
not take place.
There never was case of Rheumatism that
Uric could not cure and you should not put of
taking 1t. You can test Uric.O free Of charge II
you wish. just cut out this advertisement and
send It to the Smith Drug Co., 285 Smith Bldg,

the name OF your druggist, aud state that you
have never used Uric-O and would like to try 1t.
They will give you free, through your druSgist,

There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance bankruptcy is In
Scotland an "act Of sequestration," a
solicitor is either writer" or claw

wrOngdoer is delinquent" an idiot
in Scottish LAWS "a fatuous per-
