Tho Difference.

The pies that mother used TO mold
Were surely a delight,
But when we stored them in the hold
We had an appetite.
In those delightful days of yore
Most anything looked good
You can't the appetite restore
You had when saving wood.
You may not think that IL is truo.
But really IL is so.
Your wife can do a stunt or two
In Juggling with the dough
Though ike a fable IL may SOUND,
It's but the truth to say
Your little wife can cook around
Your mother any day.
Perhaps at this you may be shocked.
But think about your life
When round the restaurants you
knocked
Before you took your wife.
It's true your stomach is not made
OF cast iron or OF tin.
You ruined it, am afraid.
Before she took you in.
And now you growl at anything
That's placed upon your plate
Though It Is fit to feed king
Whose taste is up to date.
Don't charge the failure up to her.
Whatever you may do.
To you at times it may occur
The trouble lies with you.

THE STEEL AGREEMENT.
An agreement entered into on Nov.
9. 1900, by II steel manufacturing
concerns has been obtained by Mr..
Stanley from outside and is one of the
strongest documental factors yet pro-
duced. The combination was 10 be
known as the Steel Plate Association of
the United States. The companies
apportioned among themselves all ship
ments of steel plate in various
percentages, ard the steel company
that dared violate it's agreement laid
itself liable to heavy damages. Eacn
firm was required TO make a monthly
sworn statement of business and any
member who shipped more than his al
lotted amount was required to pay a
penalty on each excess pound, the
money thus collected being apportioned
among the members who did not ship
I'D to his allotted share. To insure
faithful adherence to the agreement
and the rendering of statements, a guar
anty fund of 100000 was provided by
payment of 81 900 on each per cent Of
allotment
The date of the agreement is i'm
portant," says Mr.. Stanley, because
members of the pool were bound to re-
main members for two years, and fur
Their because l have been advised that
practically the same memorandum was
contained in the steel and wire agree
ments which resulted in recent indict-
ments'

Those who were present greatly enjoyed the improved ap- pearance of the interior of the museum and manifested an ap- preciative interest in thecurator's narrative of legend and history with which many of the speci- mems were associated, and his explanation of the uses of vari- ous utensils used by the Eskimos or other Alaska natives in their primitive civilization.

SECRETARY
is AGAIN UP
AGAINST IT

When Frank Meredith, secretary of
the state fair board, made applica-
ton this morning for quarters in the
state capitol building, Secretary OF
State Olcott found himself again con-
fronted with the problem of provld-
ing room in building which is
crowded beyond its capacity, and he
is undertermine what to do.
AS it is provided by law that the
secretary of the state fair board is
entitled to an office in the state
house, it will be necessary to heed
his application, and the question is
as to whom shall be crowded out.
Since he took up his offices at the
fair ground a number of months ago,
c. D. Frazier, secretary of the state
purchasing board, has been occupy
ing the quarters formerly occupied
by Meredith, and it is likely that
Frazier will have to go back to the
wash room of the senate.

Italy has unmasked hostile de-

war between the two countries and
our nation will employ every means
against the enemy, Trlpoll will de-
fend Itself The Ottoman empire will
expel all Italians from Turkey and
all Italian schools and business

duty of acting against the Italians,
thus determining that the Ottomans
are more civilized than the Italians.
