John Fritz long ago earned h' title of father of the steel indus try not by any single invention or discovery, but by a contribu tion of new devices, new method and practical work in building up the industry in the United States. With only a district school edu cation, gained near hi birthplace in the middle part of Pennsyl vania, he gained a position in the steel industry thMvlTs been L at aa work in a country machine shop, with a vic-w of learning the trade of machinist. After various ex periments in steel making at N'or ristown and Safe Harbor, he went to .Johnstown, where he remod eled an old mill and built what is now known as the Cambria Iron Works. It was at this periixl that, in connection with his broth er (ieorge, he designed and erect ed the well known "three high bloomers," with their automatic tables and the "three high mill."

Won't you pL'ase tell rue if you are going to run for governor?" She saw that Cornelius J. Smith's jaws were chattering. Ten second. later he would have comt ashore to dress. H had already been in the cold spring water too long for his health- "G-g-g-o-o away I" he chatter ed. "Get out I What the devil" "Sh-h-h-hl" admonished Heula placing a forefinger to her lips.

When the young m.ni't- r tried to find out somdhiinr ab-rt the decisis d s m t rial f -r hi enh gy he found the neighbor strangely uncommunicative. To tell the 'truth, p.ill had been the village scapegrace and the ma- J jority of the community probably held his taking off to be more or less a public benefit. When the time came to hold the services, however, curiosity brought out nearly every one in the county ami the church wa crowded. The young ministe-. was plainly embarrass!. After an opening hymn ami the read ing of the regular service, he stepped to the front and rather huskily began: "Friends I have but lately come among you ami it ha not been my good fortiuie a yet to become well acquainted with any intimate friend of our departed brother. I know that there are many here who can speak much more feelingly than I can on the life and deeds of our late friend and comrade; so instead of at- JlfWA atliifc.wnsj- 1 am grouig t ass those of - vou wno knew him hest to speak a few words of reminisonece on the life of Mr- Parsons." Then1 wa a long pause, during which the pink slowly mounted fnsn the minister's neck to his forehead. Then he began again, almost imploringly : "Friend, will not some one ris and ;eak to us on this occas ion?" Another pause ensued, and th: time the minister's face was not the enly on- that grew red A lat a tall, span- man in the back of the room rose.. A ramp of shaggy hair fell over one side of hi face. His thin cheeks and glittering -ey b traed the emo tional enthusiast. He spoke ami at the first word every one in the room jumped, so great was th- tension. "Ladie and gentlemen." he began. "I am a stranger in this . . . community. As I passed along the road I saw this assemblage gathering and I wa moved to join it. I regret to say that I never heard of the deceased be fore; and therefore cannot speak on that subject; but ladie and gentlemen, as I look round this crowded chamber I thought to myself that seldom have I beheld so many int-Higent and thought ful faces- Ilarely, indeed, at this busy season will so many of tlu community be gathered together in this way. The oecaiion is one too valuable to be wasted. There fore, fellowcitizens, since no one j'.ppear to care to speak on the subject suggested, I move you that under the chairmanship f your worthy pastor, for the time being, Ave lay th-e corpse upon the table, so to speak, and proceed to the omsid 'ration of a live s' b je t, a burning Usie. a topic that challenge the attention of every thi;.king man who has the sal vation of his country at he.rt to wit, the free ami unlimited eonag of silver at the r:ti of sixteen to one."
