To Increase the Sparrow's Point Plant.
The Maryland Steel Company is preparing to
build a big extension to its Sparrow's Point
plant some time within the next three years
Officials of the company decline to discuss the
matter, so it is not known whether the extern
sion will be in the nature of new department
for the works or whether it will simply be an
enlargement of existing facilities. When ar
rangements have been completed the company
will probably make an announcement OF ex-
actly what it intends to do. President F. w.
Wood, of the Steel Company, said that he could
not give any of the details of the projected i'm
provement, as it would not be advisable to have
the plans known at present.

the Gerar Stock Farm of Mr.. E. Cuttings Mer-
ryIan, about one mile from Cockeysville to
Rether with courthouse and wagonshed and
other Otitbufldings, were destroyed by mys-

turned out IA head of cattle and had gone in
the barn for feed when he noticed the fire. He
informed Mrs. Merryman who reported the fire
to the Cockeysville telephone exchange and
had the the farm bell rung. Only few minutes
before Mr. Merryman had been driven from the
house to Cockeysville Station to take the train
for Baltimore and several of the farm hands
were at work IN distant fields. Mrs. Merry
mans first thought was to save the horses, but
on entering the burning building she was
stopped by the flames and, finding it impossible
toget them out, had the horses and 20 pigs else
where released from danger. She and Mr..
Tanner went to the carriage house, near the
barn on the northwest, and removed several
carriages and some harness. In the meantime
Mr. Merryman arrived, but found nothing
more could be done.

help in carrying water was obtained Several
ladies were among the water-carriers.

day for $4,000 1t was the largest and finest
building of the kind in the ueighborhOod.

Hurrah for the big Thanksgiving

fleet of foot than the hunters, and
escaped with one load of shot in his
hide, yet it was good to see q big
deer once more. The person who
gave the deer the load of shot was
Mr.. Lawrence Moore, of Richmond,

cavalcade with its jingling weap-
ons notifying the spectators that a
mighty one was about to approach.
All that it required to remind Que
of the approach of the king of
England was an outrider with
bugle. The outrider was there,
armed, but he had no bugle. 9th
erwise it was the picture Of mon
archy that attended Mr.. Roose
velt's voting.
And some way as one looks upon
the pictures, and studies the one
from the West, with its simple
settings, and remembers the broad
plains with their freedom, and the
security which one feels when he
knows that his conscience is clear
when one turns back to election
morning and watches that plain
man from the West visiting the
little country store to exercise his
right of franchise, he is impressed
with the fact that this is great
country. But he IS also impressed
with the fact that Mr.. Bryan is
great man. For only the very
greatest of men can undergo what
Mr.. Bryan has undergone without
it's having made them arrogant.
He had had attention showed him
no less than was shown the others
mentioned. lie had reason to be-
lieve that he was going to be sue
cessful. He had been tlattered
and fawned over even as Taft and
Roosevelt, and by men of all ma
tions. And yet the courtesies
shown him, the attention which
he attracted, the tumult which he
created, the vast millions which he
had charmed-nothing, in fact, in
his life, was sufficient to warp the
plain American citizenship and
the plain Western ways which are
his for all the days of his life.
