also seemed sad because of the empty

Not a sign was seen of either the bird

missing canary. The cat gladly turned
the bird over to Mr.. Woods. There was

The STORY OF SALT.
By Frederic j. Haskin.

In the earliest history of man salt was
looked upon as one of the luxuries OF
life. Before Lots wife was turned into a
pillar of salt this product was recognized
as a valuable commodity. The woman
was punished for looking backward. but
al least she was transformed into the
most coveted substance of that period.
Salt has been really the forerunner of
civilization. Little of it is used by the
savage As primitive man acquired a
taste for salt and the means of gratifying
ID; his fiercest instinct vanished and his
.entler emotions began TO dominate him.
With the early tribes salt was so diff
cult "a obtain that the saying. He sea-
sons his food with salt" was equivalent
IL saying ne is rich. \ piece of gold
might purchase only the smallest cake of
salt Salt was so valued that a man
who had eaten the salt of another was
honor bound 10 be loyal to him. Conse-
,fucntIy while a man might accept I'M
saitcd bread from his enemy. he was
bound To become his friend if he ate his
salt.
John MacGresor. the pioneer canoeist.
was captured by an Arab tribe upon the
upper Jordan river. He was taken with
his canoe before the old Shaykh. whose
tent was near. AS t1tN pdileS tu, MAY
Gregor opened a pocket box of fine salt
and offered pinch to the shaykh, who,
having never seen salt so fine and white.
accepted it, thinking il was sugar AS he
tasted ii MacGregor put a pinch into his
own mouth and laughingly slapped the
old man uTnn the back. He was free.
Even the other Arabs laughed when they
understood that their chief had eaten
salt with the captive under his own tent
MacGregor and his canoe We're escorted
back to the river in triumph. The Arab
chief was now bound to favor him by the
covenant of salt. the strongest bond Of
his nation.
The increased wealth of the world has
developed an increased demand for salt
and fortunately for the comfort of the
human race there seems to be no lack
in the salt resources of the world. 1t is

ways in a form or quantity TO be readily

is estimated at 15.tOo,O00 tons annually,
of which the United States produces near
ly third. Next TO this country, Russia
is the greatest salt producer of the world,
although the industry has not been much
exploited and the methods of securing 1t

comprise the greatest salt district in the

FINANCIER LIKELY TO BE
BURIED IN CONNECTICUT

New York, March 31.-The funeral serv-
ices over the body of J. Pierpont Morgan
will. in all probability, be held in the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine This
was the opinion of a close friend of the
late financier today. The arrangements
as to place and time will. of course,
be settled upon by the family.
The place of interment probably will
be Cedar Hill Cemetery. Hartford, Conn,
where his first wife is buried and where
several years ago he erected a costly
mausoleum to the memory of his father
and mother.
AS church man, Mr.. Morgan took
q leading part in the affairs of the Epis-
copal Church, attending all the general
meetings and conventions. He also was
the largest giver to the cause of the
church. He was active locally as head
of the vestry of st. Georges, Stuyvesant
Square.
Right Rev. David H. Greer. Bishop of
New York. said this afternoon Of Mr..
Morgans death:
1.-The loss of Mr.. Morgan to the church,
to the community, and to the nation
will be felt tremendously. 1t will even
SO be felt more by me. To the majority
of people, Mr.. Morgan was known simply
as financier. Others, better acquainted
with him, knew his affectionate nature.
"a ran of strong personality, at the
saline time modest, Mr.. Morgan was of
simple tastes and open-hearted. 1t was
very hard to find out what he had done
i'm the past. He was a man of absolute
sincerity and integrity. He never spoke
of his charities"
The Washington herald., 1913-04-01

derstand that he was well in hand every
minute: that he did not permit himself
to become excited or in the least wor-
riec by the hearing. He was 30 thor
oughly familiar with his subject. more
so than any witness before the commit
tee, and SO sure that the interlocking
directories and that vast power of Nor
gan & Co. had been used only for good
and not for evil-nor entirely for per-
sonal profit-that he took things easy
and upheld his contention throughout
the examination.
While in Washington. Mr. Morgan for
years stopped at the Arlington Hotel,
and a suite of rooms in the northeast
corner of the building was always at his
disposal when lie came here.
He became financially interested in
the New Arlington Hotel proposition
through the personal solicitation OF
George Howard. friend, and consented
to invest heavily. on condition that the
new hotel should contain suite for his
personal use.
Mr.. Morgan at the Episcopal convoca-
ton here some years ago engaged the
Belmont home, at Massachusetts Avenue
and Sixteenth Street, and kept open
house during the convention.

MORGAN WARMHEARTED,
SAYS PERSONAL FRIEND
c. W. McMoran Says Financier Was
Kindly and Charitable, but Disliked
to Make New Acauaintances.

Charles w. McMorran, a well-known
New York newspaper correspondent and
a close personal friend of the late ]. Pier
pont Morgan, called at The Washington
Herald editorial rooms last night to say
a word in honor of his former friend and
benefactor.
Mr.. Morgan has been looked upon by
those who have not known him." said
Mr.. McMorran, las an austere, cold, DOM
inant man.
"On the contrary, he has time and again
shown himself to be warm-hearted
kindly gentleman. and the world will
never know 1.-THE of his charities, the
everyday kind, the helping hand to friends
on the way. When he did big things in
the charity line he did it with free heart
and open handed, but his greatest pleas
ure was in aiding friends in trouble.
worthy cases that were brought to his
attention, and !, who have known him
these twenty-five years, have never
known him to refuse
Continuing, Mr.. McMorran said: There
was nothing cold about Mr.. Morgan. He
Gid not like to make friends, or. rather to
meet strangers, and this gave the impress
sion that he was gruff. But to those who
had won his confidence he was a kindly,
lovable man.
I'm his home life he was happy / was
at the steamer that last morning when
he left the shore of America for the last
time. He kissed his wife, and caressed
her affectionately. He also kissed that
great big son of his, who succeeds him
in business way and whom he has per-
sonally trained for the position as the
head of the Morgan firm, and there were
tears i'm both their eyes as they embrace
ed perhaps with a thought never to
meet again.
Newspaper men usually found ii diff
cult to interview Mr. Morgan, save when
he granted the interview beforehand.
In talking to interviewers he was ac-
customed to pace up and down the Nor
gan offices. keeping up running fire Of
conversation, and if the interviewer had
a good grasp of the subject under discus
sion he was much more likely to get a
good interview than otherwise. For this
reason, the New York newspapers sent
their best trained men to interview the
banker and magnate."
