A GOOD DEED LINCOLN DID.

A man named Bentley has confess ed to having lived for some time in Lincoln's house. and to feeling so ashamed of his own part ill the transaction that he has never but once before told the story He was a boy out of work in Decatur, Ill.,. when Douglas and linccln were de batting. He sat alone, discouraged, in the hotel while the men were all gathered around Douglas upstairs in the parlOr Near him sat long thin man all doubled up in his chair, who presently turned to him and asked some questions. Finding that he was a printer out of work he said: My name is Lincoln. l am go- ing back to Springfield tomorrow and will take you along and try to get you chance on a newspaper there which l am interested in
 When it turned out that the boy did not even have railroad fare, Lin coin paid has way and in Spring field took him into the only vacant room in his house. He did not get the place on the paper, but Lincoln paid the boy $4 a week - it seem ed to the boy princely sum-to sit in his office and answer questions during his absence. Presently the Lincoln family needed the boy s room and sent him across the way still paying his board, he supposes for he himself paid nothing.
 By and by the boy got regular work at his trade, but he never saw Lincoln again.

BY ONE DEAL III
 MILLION

NEW YORK - The ore and coal holdings acquired by the United States Steel corporation in the a3- sorption of the Tennessee Coal and lrcn company in 1907 are worth two hundred million dollars according to estimates given recently to the house of reprt sentatiyes committee on in- quiry into the steel corporation by engineers. In acquiring the TenneS- see company the United States Steel Corporation exchanged it's :, per cent second bonds valued al $29 900 GOO. the transaction having been brought about to prevent the collapse of the New York brokerage firm of Moore with Tennessee Coal and Iron stock as collateral.
 To Show Monetary Motive
 Since the beginning of the inquiry into that deal Representative Stan ley and other members of the house committee have sought to develop evidence tending to prove charges that the impending panic and dan ger to Moore X SChley was not the prime motive for the merger In fur theranCe of that idea. natWithStand- ing the determined declarations of witness after witness who partici- pated in the exchange that the sug- gestion of conspiracy was preposter- ous. the committee also heard the testimony of C. P. Perrin. Walter Moore, and w. M Given. engineers who appraised the deposits of the Birmingham field in 1904
 The Cheapest Coal in the World.
 Those men asserted the ere de posits in that region, and their proX- unity to coal deposits estimated at nearly 2.00O. .00O.O .O00 tons. make the territory almost unparalleled from an ore producing standpoint. Ore royal tleS or "3 cents q ten on more than 400 ,000,0 ,000 tons in that region ac- quired by the steel corporation from the Tennessee company, and coal de posits aggregating more than 1900 million tons were given by the eX- perts as basis upon which mem bers of the committee compute that these properties alone are worth $200. .0O0, ,000
 The engineers agreed that pig iron could be produced there $4 a ton cheaper than in the Pittsburg dis trict, and $3 a ton cheaper than any other place in the world
