Our Mothers Counsel.

We feel animated to struggle more
r!anfully in great battles of life when
We remember our mothers holy coun-
sci to us in childhood's early dawn,
AID in the slippery paths OF youth.
All. those of tenderness-those piOus
precepts softened by "mother's
love too much UNDECIDED then. and
disregarded- live now, frightened In
memory, and constitute our sweetest
rccollections. Her prayers for us in
childhood-her sparkling crystal
tears, made an impression on our
young minds as durable as time and
even now they did us walk in the
paths of rectitude.

Frocks for Growing Girls.

The mothers of growing daughters
should be very careful about the hit
Of their frocks, especially to have all
parts loose enough, for girls in their
teens are apt to pine for a small
waist and will endure tortures from a
tight band rather than own up to any
discomfort. This as a matter OF
course leads to lacing, and they will
contrive In some way to pull in or
make smaller even the corded waists
that they wear. The shoulders Of a
frock should also be loose, to prevent
STOPPING.

The most striking fur fad Of the

art and difficult Of mastery. Perhaps
that is why the Parisienne has taken

Tries to Bust Steel Trust.
The man with the million dollar
smile has been selling securities and
promoting new companies for about ~
years, adding to his girth as the years
rolled by. His biggest jump in finance
was in the nature Of an attempt to
burst the United States Steel corpora
ton. He had seer 1t set under way,
and what the men responsible for its
r had profited made his eyes
bulge.
In 1903, not long after the Steel cor
poration was set under way, Umsted
concluded to try q little merging of
his own. He chartered a company I'M
der the laws of Maine, advertised to
take over the properties of practically
all the small Independent steel COM
panies with the trust"
He progressed sufficiently far to get
stockholders in these companies from
one coast to another to deposit with
him their holdings, accepting in ex-
change certificates OF stock in the new,
corporation. That is about all these
sted. Some of them still hold hand
some certificates of stock in the com
pany
The promoter then deposited large
of securities in several east
ern trust companies. using them as
collateral for securing extensive loans.
What happened to the proceeds of the
loans is another matter. MI. Umsted
Is probably one of a few who can
explain that.
