Defend Corporations Size.
Materially the steel corporation heads
do not and cannot conceal the fact of
it's immense size. They argue, how
ever, that size is not in itself criminal,
that their business has been marked by
fair dealing and by justice to competi-
tors and that they have not monopo-
liked the steel and iron business or
fixed prices, in spite of their prepon-
derating position in the industry. FL
bert II. Gary, the chairman of the
board of directors of its financial com

lar head of the company Cthe president
is James A. FarrelD, said recently:
I'VE do not wish or intend under
any circumstances to countenauce any
violation of any law in force. | can
not say in language too emphatic that,
not only from the standpoint of good
morals, but from the standpoint of our
personal interests, we must never
make the mistake of Intentionally vio-
laung or permitting to be violated any
law which is in existence"
Judge Gary's Defense.
This was spoken to the presidents of
the underlying companies which form
the corporation. Continuing, Judge
Gary said
Certainly we know that in trying to
understand the application of the Sher-
man law, so called, we have been con
fronted by two extremes. On the one
hand, if we should have engaged in the
destructive competition which natural
ly results from unrestrained selfish
competition, we might have placed our
selves in a position which would justi-
fly the criticisms which have been APP
piled to other large interests-that is,
we might properly have been charged
with attempting to establish or eXer-
else a monopoly. On the other hand,
II we had attempted to foster com
petition and to make it certain we
were in nowise disposed TO restrict
competition by entering into agree.

Opera In Dumb Show,

The late Clara Novello in her remi- niscences tells how Malibran once ap- peafed in "Sonnambula' without ut. tering a note. She had taken cold and was prevented from singing at the last moment. though crowds of early corners already filled the house. "On the manager telling her. in de. s?air. that, besides loss of money, these disappointed people would be dangerous she said. I can't speak above my breath; should have to do 1t in dumb show" Bum at once caught at this outburst as if seriously meant and on his knees begged her to try this, and she, fired by the nov city did so. The grateful public ray ed in praise of this surprising tour de force. and the sensation 1t made filled the papers"

eRAY HAIR TALKS
H10TR INDEX OF AGE. DON,T
 LOOK OLD.

How often one hears the ex- pression, She is gray and is begin ming to look old It Is true that gray hair usually denotes age and is always associated with age. You never hear one referred to as having gray hair and looking young.
 The hair is generally the index of age. If your hair is gray, you can't blame your friends for referring to you as looking old. You can't retain youthful appearance if you allow your hair to grow gray. Many per sons of middle age jeopardize their future simply by allowing the gray hairs to become manifest. There is no necessity for this. If your hair has become faded or gray, try Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, the preparation which & chemist by the name of Wyeth devised a few years ago. It is simple, inexpensive and practical, and will banish the gray hairs in few days. It is also guar anteed to remove dandfuff and pro- mote the growth of the hair.
 It is a pleasant dressing for the hair, and after using it q few days itching and dryness of the scalp en- tirely disappear.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle and is recommended and sold by

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

The first kiss of the youth and the
maiden-he in the glory OF his
strength, and she in the glory of her
beauty-is the very blossom of life;
the inspiration of the poet and makes
the round world laugh with joy.
But the kiss of man and wife in
the dusty afternoon of life, when the
transport and illusion of youth are
dead after long years of disappoint-
ment, struggle and hope grown tired
in the stress and strain of daily liv-
ing--the kiss of these two, pausing
for a moment and turning to each
other in faithful love, while the road
stretches out before them, pale and
misty. into the silence of the great
unknown land-telling as it does, of
vanquished temptation, and patient
endurance, may well fill heaven itself
and the clear-eyed passionless angels
with solemn gladness.-Lucas

an expenditure OF $3.50, 900. For
forty miles or more the road was ex-

THE TROUBLESOME WOOD
PICKER.

The woodpecker family is in dis
grace. These birds have forsaken
their instintive propensity to build
their homes in the dead trunks or
limbs of trees, and have chosen in
stead to transfer their habitations
to telephone, telegraph, and electric
light poles. Apparently there is no
particular reason for such change;
but undoubtedly the pole stripped of
it's bark, must offer better induce
ments as a home or the birds would
Ihave kept to the trees.
The depredations of the wood
pecker are attracting considerable
attention among those who are COM
PEELED to use large quantities of
wooden poles. Scarcely any portion
of the country is exempt; but the
activities have been most marked in
the South, Southwest, and Central
West. Cedar poles appear to be
given the preference. The holes
which the birds make are often two
or three inches in diameter and four
to five inches deep, and are drilled
at any height from the ground. Such
an amount of wood excavated from
a stick of timber which carrying a
heavy load of wires naturally weak
ems the strength of the lines and Of
fers less resistance to a heavy storm
or to the crushing weight of wires
and crossbars deeply incrusted with
snow and sleet.
It would not be difficult to exter-
minute these birds; but such a course
is undesirable because they are
among the most beneficial forms Of
bird life native to this country and
destroy great numbers of insects
which otherwise would seriously
damage forests and food crops. The
Forest Service has been appealed to,
but the only information the govern
ment has been able to obtain was
from a casual inspection of treated
and untreated pole lines in the State
of Louisiana. There it was found
that poles which had been impreg-
mated with creosote oil we're not at
: tackled by the birds, whereas the
ordinary poles under the same con-
ditions were severely injured.
A traction company in Southern
Indiana adopted a novel scheme for
checking the ravages of the wood
pecker by filling the holes in the
wood with stones. This remedy,
however, was a failure because the
birds simply drilled around the
stones and made conditions worse
than ever.-Harper's Weekly.

THE BOY FOR ME-"

A gentleman advertised for boy.
and nearly fifty came TO see him. Out
of the whole number he chose one,
and dismissed the rest.
"I should like TO know" said a
friend, "why you picked out that
boy, who had not a single recon-
mendation?"
"You are mistaken" said the gen.
tIeman; "he had a great many. He
, wiped his feet when he came In, and
closed the door after him, showing
that he was careful.
HE gave his seat instantly to that
lame old man, showing that he was
thoughtful and kind. He took off
his cap, and answered my questions
promptly, showing that he was gen
tlemanly.
"He picked up a book / had pur-
posely laid on the floor, and replaced
1t upon the table; and he waited
quietly for his turn instead of push
ing and crowding, showing that he
was honorable and orderly.
when I talked to him l noticed
that his clothes were brushed, and
his hair in order; when he wrote his
name, / noticed that his finger-nails
were clean.
Don't you call those little things

would give more for what I can tell
about boy by using my eyes than
for all the letters he can bring. -

NED'S WAY.

THAT Ned can't be beaten" said
Uncle Jack. "At least you can't
make him own he is beaten. When
his lines breaw, he ties them; il
they break again, he ties them again
if they break third time, there is
third knot in half a minute, nc
time lost in grumbling. He seems,
small as he is, to understand that
there isn't the least bit of use in
kicking over things because they are
just as they are, not as he would
like to have them. But he under
stands, too, that things can be
changed to suit Ned. and that Ned
is the one to change them. When
things do not move fast enough to
suit him, do you catch him losing his
temper. flying to pieces and throw
ing tools? Not a bit He is just as
vexed and Disguised as anybody
else would be. but he sets his lips
tighter and uses every bit of temper
to make things come his way.
"a fiery temper. Sizing hot, is
like a strong horse-very much ex-
cited. If you can keep him har-
messed and guide him, he will do an
immense amount Of work; if he gets
away from you, he will do a fearful
lot OF damage. That is where Ned
comes out ahead-he makes his
temper work for him. His anger is
harnessed with 7 will and You
shall; he holds it tight and drives
