The flood relief fund collected in

two hours delay of the Twentieth
Century Limited from New York. For
every hour the train is late the pas
sengers are given 81 by the company.
1t arrived in Chicago two hours be-
hind time.
J. L. Daube of Philadelphia con-
ceived the idea of giving the 81 which
would be refunded by the railroad
company to the fund. He made known
his intentions to Joseph Horowitz or
New York and Fred X. Townsend OF
Rochester, who also were passengers.
They became enthusiastic and formed
a committee to collect the refund
slips of all the passengers on the train.
Out of eighty passengers seventy
six readily rave up their slips. Among
the four was an Englishman just ar
rived. The food situation was ex-
blamed to him and Daube pictured the
sufferings of the victims.

One of the sayings of an old Persian
wise man is: "All unuttered truths be-
come poisonous" Wonder if that is
not the matter with us alive do not
say the real things that lie close to
the heart. For it is surely the fact, If
a man suppresses the truth he will
break out somewhere in lie or deceit
But suppose the truths are all uttered,
what would become of politics,
religion, society, business! There
would certainly be a frightfnl holo-
caust. Sometimes one does meet
man or morehaps a woman, who will
tell the truth the heart holds, not in
vanity or boasting, but in candor and
love-what a clear sky breaks all
about such a person, how sweet the air
Is, how green the grass grows! One
lives in a new world. One takes on
higher aims. But suppose everybody
would utter his truth! The theory of
humanity is that it would be well. But
we would prefer to wait few GEN.

1t would be well to ponder over the
wise Persian's aphorism: "All un-
uttered truths become poisonous" And

was Mr. Morgan who saved the situa-
ton.
Aside from these two incidents MI
Morgan probably will be chiefly re-
membered for the part he took in float
ing the United States Steel corpora
ton. The violent decline in the Sc
curities of the steel trust during the
depression of 10000, and the storm
of criticism that broke forth from the
thousands of investors in the United
States and in Europe who put their
money into these securities, had been
a thorn in Mr.. Morgan's side, and his
chief ambition in the years that fol-
lowed was to see the Steel securities
in such position in the market that his
most bitter critics would be forced to
concede that he built the great trust
on substantial foundation.
Some of His Accomplishments.
AS an example of business capacity
of remarkable kind, Mr.. Morgan was
almost without parallel. He was as
capable as any of the Rothschilds in
the money line, and his achievements
as an industrial organizer surpassed
any similar feats performed by other
operators in the United States or
abroad
Among the concrete results of Mr..
Morgan's intellectual labors were:
Reorganization of the Buffalo &
West Shore and it's lease to the New
York Central
Reorganization of the Chesapeake
& Ohio.
Encouragement of the Great South

Only Doctor a DRUG Eiend.

Terrible scenes were reported from
West Indianapolis. Conditions in the
flooded district were made worse by
the fact that the only physician who
was there to attend sufferers was a
victim of the morphine habit. In the
Methodist church a woman rescued
from the bottoms gave premature
birth to twins. The physician, what
with the horror Of his duty and his in
ability to obtain more of the drug,
went insane, and after making three
unsuccessful attempts to jump from
window, was placed in a straight
jacket.
