steel-Touchstone Of Fortune.

Steel with its billion Of money;
Steel, with its myriad glowing fur
naces, It's laundering mills, and Its
smokestacks thick as stalks in corn
field; Steel, with its thousands upon
thousands of miles Of ore land and
coal land and gas land; Steel, with its
endless railways and its fleets of ves-
sells; Steel, with Its swarming popula-
tons Of workmen and its trade lines
penetrating every business and every
corner of the world, has become the
touchstone Of our fortunes and the
barometer of our condition.
They used to say: "As New York
goes, SO goes the Union" Now they
say that as Steel goes, so goes the
whole mighty current Of American
business. We live and work in steel
buildings, we ride in steel cars and
steel ships, our intercourse is over
steel wires-we are encompassed and
entwined and connected, transported,
and finally entombed by steel. We are
Steel and Steel is us.-Harper's
Weekly.

Too Much,

There had been a small bank failure
in an Iowa town, and the bank had
gone tnSo the hands Of receiver The
receiver proved to be dishonest, and
had absconded with what remained Of
the funds Of the institution. Expert
detectives were, however, on his track,
and he was run down in a neighboring
state and taken back to the scene Of
his financial exploits.
1t was about midnight that the de-
tectives arrived with their prisoner,
and a Mr.. Collins, the principal de-
positor in the bank, and, therefore, the
principal loser, was awakened at his
home and informed by telephone Of the
capture.
He expressed his qualification and
went back to bed.
Shortly afterward he was aroused
to receive another telephone message
to the same effect, from different
source.
This sort of thing continued to such
an extent that Collins grew very
wrathy; so that, when he answered
the phone bell for the last time, he
was in anything but an amiable frame
Of mind.

Installing a Telephone In India.


A Simla official, proud in the pos
session of some choice Turkoman
rugs, leaving his station on business
visit, ordered the installation Of a
telephone system.
On his return he found that the sys-
tenn had been installed, but the cool
les had gone the shortest way to work
In his house and had passed the wire
down the leg Of his writing table and
through his best rug, cutting 1t gem
erously in the process. The rug has
thus not only been damaged, but It
Is fastened to the table and floor and
cannot even be taken out to be
brushed. -Calcutta Statesman.

AT TIE GRAVE OF MANSFIELD.
Thousands Visit Last Resting Place Of
the Great Actor.

New London, Conn, has this season
a new point of interest for summer
visitors The grave of Richard Mans
field is the lVre for many at nearby
resorts. In the midst Of all the merry
making the dead actor is remembered,
and persons in automobiles, In car
riages, on bicycles and on foot make
a pilgrimage of devotion to the little
cemetery where he is buried. Every
conductor on the Ocean Beach trolley
line can give minute instructions for
finding the Mansfield home and the
Mansfield grave, and very often they
are required to furnish it. Having
left the car line and climbed hill on
Edgewood avenue, there still Is a
hot, dusty walk ahead on Ocean ave-
nue. before the cemetery is reached,
but many Mansfield admirer trudges
over it uncomplainingly. In the
lawns of the big estate gardeners are
at work who speak but little Eng
lish, but all know the name Of Mans.
field, and all can muster enough of
the language to direct the way to the
Mansfield house and the graveyard
opposite.
The gates of the cemetery never are
locked. He who will may wander
among the few headstones near the
roadside, then back to the far corner
where Mansfield lies. There Is no
stone there. A double row of dwarf
evergreens marks the boundaries OF
the plot. In the center is the grave.
1t lies level with the earth, thick
growing pansies cover it, and at the
head is a bowl of cut flowers which
are renewed each day. In that quiet
spot memories Of Beau Brummel, OF
DR.. Jeckyll, Of Peer Gynt live again,

OWE LIVES TO HERO
DEED OF BRAVE MAN THAT
SAVED HUNDREDS.
Captain Scott, New York Sailor Used
His Own Body to Stop Leak In
Crowded Ferryboat-All on
Board Saved.

One morning in January, when the
ice in the Hudson river ran unusually
heavy, Hoboken ferry boat slowly
crunched her way through the floating
foes, until the thickness Of the pack
choked her paddles in midriver. Il
was an early morning trip and the
decks were crowded with laboring
men and the driveways choked with
teams; the women and children stand
ing inside the cabins were solid
mass up to the swinging doors. While
she was gathering strength for fur
ther effort, an ocean tug sheered to
avoid her, veered point, and crashed
into her side, cutting her below the
water line in a great V-shaped cash.
A moment more, and the disabled
boat careened from the shock and fell
over on her beam, helpless. Into the
V-shaped cash the water poured a tor
rent. It seemed but question of
minutes before she would lunge head
long below the ice.
Within 200 yards of both boats, and
free of the heaviest ice, steamed the
wrecking tug Reliance of the on
Shore Wrecking Company, and on her
deck forward stood Capt. Scott. When
the ocean tug reversed her engines
after the collision and backed clear of
the shattered wheelhouse of the ferry
boat, he sprang forward, stopped
down, ran his eye along the water
line, noted in a flash every shattered
plank, climbed into the pilot house OF
his own boat, and before the aston
ished pilot could catch his breath
pushed the nose of the Reliance along
the rail of the ferry boat and dropped
upon the latter's deck like cat
With threat to throw overheard
any man who stirred, he dropped into
the engine room, met the engineer half
way up the ladder, compelled him to
return, dragged the mattresses from
the crews hunks, stripped off blankets,
snatched up clothes, overalls, cotton
waste and rags Of carpet, examining
them into the great rent left by the
tugs cutwater.
1t was useless. Little by little the
water gained, bursting out first be-
low, then on one side, only to be
calked out again, and only to rush in
once more.
Capt. Scott stood moment as II
undecided ran his eye searchingly
over the engine room, saw that for his
needs it was empty, then deliberate
ly tore down the top wall of calking
he had so carefully built up, and be-
fore the engineer could protest, forced
his own body into the gap, with his
arm outside, level with the drifting
ice.
An hour later, the disabled ferry
boat, with every soul on board, was
towed into the Hoboken slip.
When they lifted the captain from
the wreck, he was unconscious and
barely alive. The water had frozen
his blood, and the floating ice had
torn the flesh from his protruding
arm from shoulder to wrist. When the
color began to creep back to his
cheeks, he opened his eyes and said to
the doctor who was winding the
bandages:
"Wuz any of them babies hurt?"
A month passed before he regained
his strength, and another week be-
fore the arm had healed so that he
could get his coat on. Then he went
back to the Reliance.-F. Hopkinson
Smith, in Everybody's.

The Cleveland paper on Taft, writ
ten short time before the death OF
Ex.President Grover Cleveland, to be
published as one of series Of papers
on the presidential situation, is one
of the highest endorsements that any
candidate for president has ever had.
1t is personal tribute to Mr.. Taft's
fitness for president, and from a
source which will carry unusual
weight. 1t is the final, closing public
act of man who has been looked
upon by all people Of all parties as a
great man. In explaining why Mr..
Taft is above other men fitted for
president Mr.. Cleveland wrote: Ellis
high ideals Of honesty and Of relative
Justice, his great capacity for severe
labor, end his humorous wisdom in
the face OF the serious problems are
attributes equally valuable.and CON-
nsndatory to people seeking him
In whom they may repose the trust Of
their collective interests while they
turn their increased attention to press
ing individual demands"

still SUSCEPTIBLE,

He was a nervous, fidgety young
man, and he looked with considerable
apprehension at the woman next him,
who held baby, its face covered with
a thick veil. The baby gave now and
then a sharp cry, which the woman
evidently tried to suppress.
At last, after many anxious glances,
the young man spoke.
"Has-has that baby any-anything
contagious?" he asked.
The woman looked at him with q
MIXTURE of scorn and pity.

custOmcd to High stools

Racing under the present rules govern

OF racing. as defined by a steward of
the Jockey club, IS beginning to have
an effect on the bookmakers OF the pres
ent quite similar TO the effect that racing
Is intended TO have on horses of the fu-
ture, and the stand w" requirement OF
the layers gives promise OF making
athletic persons OF all the bookmakers
who survive the strain
1t seems Inevitable too that the men
who cannot bear the strain OF standing
hrnly In one place against all jostIing
and crowding and at the same time
hold aloft the list OF odds they are ready
to offer, must give place to men who
are equal Co the physical requirements

These are the men who formerly were
supposed TO subsist on birds and bottles

'pikers' brought them. Days OF stand
ing have reduced the great majority
OF them to the necessity OF Turk
ish baths, massage, and medicaments for
swollen feet and lame legs and backs
inc nope OF the younger and more ath-
letic OF the layers is that when they once
get themselves In good condition by light
training they viii find the work Of stand
ing stiil bearable, but the older only hope
that the rule which prohibits the use OF
stools may be modified. and that they
may be allowed to use some sort OF sup

makers work 10 do. as they can shift
about almost at will, though they are re-
quired by their duties to be close at hand
and within reach of the bookmaker All

As far as the stand-up system has pro-
