Too Late.

Daniel Webster used to tell a story
about an old woman who was very i'll
and went into trance. They all
thought she was dead. and when she
opened her eyes her husband said in a
surprised tone. why, Mandy, we
thought We wuz dead" The poor old
woman looked at her husband a mo-
ment, and then she burst into tears
And We never bawled a Bit" she
sobbed. I've thought 1 wuz dead. and
yer eyes wuz dry. Couldn't We have
bawled a little bit. Jabez?" The old
man was deeply moved. and he did &C
tually bawl then. But his wife said
sadly: Its too late now. Dry yer
eyes. If I'd really been dead and ye'd
bawled 'twould have done me some
good. But it's too late now"

GREAT MARATHON RACE.


! STOCKHOLM, July 15-With the,
championship in the Olympian track,
and field events already clinched the
American athletes set out today to add
further points to their already large
score. This was the tenth and conclud-
ing day for track and field contests in
the International games, although
equestrian and aquatic sports will be
continued through the balance of the
week.
At the beginning of today's contests
the United States total points for
track and field sports was more than'
those of all the other nations COM
bined. The joy of the United States,
athletes was tempered somewhat by
losing the classic marathon to Souths
Africa yesterday, although the Yam
KEGS had the satisfaction of having
one of their runners come in third.
The weather man who has been so
friendly toward the international ath-
letes during the past week continued
today to show the worlds masters of
Drawn that he was with them. Atmos-
pheric conditions were excellent for
the last big days program. The stad-
ium was again filled and the specta-
tors showed that their enthusiasm had
not abated.
One of the most interesting among
the athletes today was CASTOR Sire
bino, the young South Paterson, N. J.
runner, who landed third place in the
Marathon after a CALLING run. Strebino
ran the "a miles 1922 yards in hours,
80 minutes, AZ 2-5 seconds, which was
16 minutes better than the time made
by Johnny Hayes in London in 1908,
although it did not break the worlds
record, which was 2:37:42 set by S.
Jacobson in Sweden last July.
Takes Honors Lightly.
Like the other American heroes,
Strebino bore his honors lightly.
"Of course I'm sorry | didn't get in
first, but | have the satisfaction of do
ing the best could under the circum-
stances" said Strebino. From the 18th
mile to the end left blood behind for
my running shoes We're too light for
the rocky course and We're soon worn
out. About half of the distance | ran

same chance at the other fellows. My
hat is off to Macarthur, the South At
rican runner. He surely ran beauti-

breezed in second ahead of me. Gil

the butt of many good natured joke
today. After the finish of the long con

Business

Baltimore, Aug. 13.-Tbe Manufac-
turers' Record Of August s. says:
That there is a marked revival in
business activity throughout the coun-
try cannot be questioned. 1t is seen on
every hand. The production Of iron
is on a record-making basis. with the
probability that this years output will
be between 100000 and 100000
tons, or the largest in any calendar
year in our history. Prices have been
advancing and iron concerns are be-
ginning to make money. The demand
for steel products is SO great that the
steel plants of the country are crowd
ed to their capacity, and bonuses are
being paid to secure prompt delivery.
In the cotton goods market improve
ment is in evidence, and this industry
is in better shape than for several
years. both as to the volume of the
demand for cotton goods and the mar
gin of profit to the mills. In fact, for
two or three years the balance-sheet
of most mills was on the wrong side,
but now many mills are making fair
earnings and are in very much better
shape financially and as to the demand
for their output.
After some years of depression and
improbable business the lumber in
dustry is picking up, and, like cotton
and iron, it, too, begins to show a
much greater demand and a much bet
ter financial condition.
The railroads of the country are
realizing that traffic is growing faster
than their facilities. Here and there
are signs of shortage of cars, with a
possibility of congestion of traffic even
before crops begin to move freely.
With a view to meeting this situation
and preparing for the future, railroads
are ordering heavily Of locomotives
and cars, and the indications are that
the rolling stock builders Will have
larger volume of business during the
coming ~ months than they have had
for four or five years. Already loco
motive plants and car-building works
are becoming crowded. Railroads are
likewise ordering steel rails for next
years delivery more freely than for
several years, realizing the necessity
of improving their roadbed and of be-
ing prepared to meet the demand for
extensions and betterments.
At many points there is already a
shortage of labor, and the big manu-
featuring centers are eagerly hunting
for more men.
