factory in beautiful equipage when
the daughter innocently asked her
father, what the men wanted and he
tersely replied, "Bread," wheIeupon
the daughter remarked, "Then why

how little toe rich know of the condi-

ARE THEY HONEST

There is an old hut trite saying
that the democracy does the wrong
thing at the right time. The repro
ductiUn of the saying ls occasloned by
the action of the democrats in con-
gress. Never in the history of the
party has such an opportunity pre-
sented itself for making itself solid
with the country az during the
present extra session of congress, but
the chance was frittered away. To
those who kept themselves informed as
to the action OF congress none will deny
that had the democratic members
acted even intelligentlv, Uncle Joe
Cannon would not have been reelected
speaker of the house. and there is not
the slightest doubt but that the insur-
ent republicans IN either branch would
have united with a suiid democratic
minority, sufficient to have secured
the enactment of decent tariff bill
long ago. The trouble has been that
the democratic minority has been
divided, a large contingent i'll both
the house and senate playing into the
hands of the high protectionists and
the inquiry naturally suggests itself
Were they honest? In the next polit-
ical campaign, the democracy cannot
go before the people with any claim
worthy of consideration and the cleo
tors will be forced to act independent
and vote for men who will represent
them faithfully and honestly, rather
than with either party, because
neither party as an organization
stands for the masses Of the people.

THE NEW ORE.
One of Andrew Carnege's Early Iron
Experiences.

One of Andrew Carneee's Early Iron
Experiences.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that
short time after the starting of his
first plant in Pittsburg he had an odd
experience with iron ore.
81 was offered some ore that SAM
pied about the usual grade, SO far at
1 was able to judge from appearances,
at a reduced price" he said ~ bought
several thousand tons-a big order for
those days The second day after we
commenced to run it the foreman came
to the office and told me the new ore
was of no account, that it did not flow
and that the furnaces were so choked
they would have to be dumped unless
some remedy was found. Those fires
were built to last two years, and to
dump them at this time would mean
so heavy a loss as to practically put
me out of business. A young chemist
had called on me few weeks before,
and, while l had not paid much atten-
ton to him, I had kept his card. 1t
occurred to me that he might possibly
be of some help, though 1 confess 1
did not then see what chemistry had
to do with the iron business. But l
sent for him, and he came at once.
First he examined the new ore and
then the Odd that we had been running
without difficulty, and finally he looked
at the furnaces. To avoid delay he
made a little test Of the two ores right
there. l had told him when ne ar
rived that l felt sure the new ore pas
worthless and admitted my misSske
in buying it. OF course l did this as
1 did not want him to think / was
ignorant of the business. You can
imagine my surprise, then. when at
the conclusion of his test he quietly
informed US that the new ore was so
good we did not know how to run it.
The fact was that the new ore con-
tanned 90 per cent more iron than the
old, and all that it was necessary to
do was to add a proportionate increase
of f1ux to bring about reduction

SIX AND AN HALF DOZEN

Our law experts at thu national
capitol, have singular way of inter
preting the law. Solicitor General
Bowers in lengthy and exhaustive
opinion, held that coloring or fiavorlng
matter to what is previously whiskey,
does not destroy it's whiskey character
and that it is still whskey, blended or
straight. If his idea of the pure food
law is correct, then coloring in butter
or oleomargarine does not destroy the
character of either the butter or cleo
margarine, for both retain their
essential qualities and either can be
sold for just what they are. To the
uninIt,ared, to the mazes and uncer-
tainty uf the law, it looks as if the
same principle was involved, and if
one is lawful, the other is also lawful
and that the opinion is of no value for
1T is contradictory in practice. Whis-
Key is whiskey and oleomargarine is
oil -omargarine, colorei or uncolorei, is
the gist of the opinion of the learned
Solicitor.

poo's wsn.H.rn.d Monument.

Near the hospice of St Bernard, Switzerland. is a monument to Barry one of the dogs. which always inter ests tourists. This animal died some years ago. and writer In the Wide World Magazine tells his story: Dur. ing the ten years he was at the hos. pice he saved the lives of 40 persons who had lost their way in the snow. On one occasion he found a child. tep years old, lying in the snow under the influence of the fatal slumber which precedes death. The dog warmed the child with it's breath. and then reused 1t from sleep by licking it. This much accomplished. Barry, by lying down on it's side. gave the child an obvious invitation to get upon it's back and ride. The child did so. and was thus carried to the monastery. Barry was killed by some unknown person. prob ably in mistake" The inscription on the monument is: Barry, the heroic. Saved the lives of 40 persons, and was killed by the forty first"
