December thirty-first, 18—, will be re membered in some portions. of the west as one of the oldest, stormiest days of an ‘exceptionally cold winter. I have good reasons to remember it, for on that day I came very near losing my life as the resuls “of my own foolhardiness. The day before I arrived at the little frontier town of S——, where I had busi- ness, proposing to drive thence next day to H——, forty miles distant, where I intend- ed to spend New Year’'sday with friends whom I had not seen for several years. I had confidently expected to reach Ii—— without difficulty and suprise my friends ~ —who had always made it a custom to usher in the New Year with much jolly ceremony——hy appearing in their midst - late on New Year’s eve. I was, therefore, much vexed, when I arose in the morning to find that a heavy snow had fallen dur ing the night, and that the weather had ~ turned moch colder, witha heavy wind * blowing from the north. Nevertheless, I was fully resolved to go, providing I oe could find, anyone who was willing to © undertake the drive. Bat there was no regular stage line, and no one seemed willing to trust himself and his team to the possible chances of a hard ‘‘nor’ wester,”’ and, after trying several places without success, I returned to the hotel : in avery disagreeable mood. © As I was expressing my disgust to the “landlord, with whom I was well acquains- ed, am:n whom I had noticed on the train the evening ‘before, and who was now sitting by the stove reading, looked np and remarked : *‘I fancy we are in thesame fix; I am very anxious to get to H—— myself, bat . there seems to he no chance of getting away from here.” ~~ ‘‘Perhaps,” I suggested, intending to be’ humorous, *‘perhaps we might buy a team and goanyway.’’ . This brought the stranger to his feet. “I don’t know whether yon would be willing or not, or whether we sould geta team ; but why not try to get one to go’ with, on the understanding that we pay for any damage done to the horses or eonveyance—or pay a fair price for the animals in oase they should not puli throogh alive 2? “The very thing ! "ML agreed. ~ “We can try, anyway.’ Tb 'landloid and’ others tried to dis- ~ suade us from our purpose, but we were firm, and she result was that in a shor time we secured a team of horses anda | ontter, leaving with the landlord a deposit did not return them in good condition ; and, in a half hour or so, we were on oar way to H——, well bundled in rohes and ; tars, and feeling quite cheerful over ‘the _ prospect of reaching H—— afterall. a The first twelve or thirteen ‘wiles of our ronte was over a good road, and, as . we glided along at a merry pace, I bad ~ oppurtnuity to take note of my jeompan- ion’s appearanve. 3 !

To-day they aiescat- tered far and near, and Iam the cause of it. ‘‘My father and mother were both living then, and on Christmas and New Year's there was always a merry gathering of chil. dren and grandchildren as she old home. There were five children of as—shree girls, all married, my younger brother Sidney, and myself, r “That year we were all gathered as usu- al under the home roof for the last time, as it happened. *‘I need not make a long story of it. On New Year’s eve it was discovered that a certain sum of money that had been in the ‘safe. at my father’s office was missing— money that had been left there for safe- keeping by a friend, who called for if late in the afternoon; father leaving the house and going down to she office to get it. **That the money had been taken there ‘was no doubt, and when my father learned that Sidney bad locked the safe and left the office last, that forenoon, he was terribly shocked.

This action is the culmination of a series International Harvester Company other- wise known as the Farm Machinery Trust, was promoted by J. P. Morgan & Co. some ‘three yeaisago. Until the formation lot the trust the farmers benefited by the keen competition between the companies, which kept down prices, but now all this is being changed, and the situation controls the farmers and the country dealers of either accepting the terms imposed by the trust or making an ‘effort to combine and fighs. The same problem, was presented ‘to farmers by the Grain Elevator Trust when either selling their grain at whatever price She elevator Trust chose to offer or of find- ‘some other way to get it to market — the other way was effectually closed with the railroad men and discriminating against individual farmers shipments. This situation became so oppressive that the farmers combined among themselves to build their own grain elevators; and then ‘when the railroad refused side-track privi- leges and locations aloug the tracks the Granger States and compelled legislation {. which gave them at least - nominally equal rights with the railroads. The Farm Machinery Trust was formed by a combination of the Deering Harvester Company, the Plano Manufacturing Com- pany, the Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company, the Milwankee Harvester Com- pany and the well-known McCormick Com- pany, of Chicago. These were capitalized under the anspioes of J. P. Morgan & Co. at $120,000,000. A New Jersey chaiter was taken in the name of the Internation- al Harvester Company. ‘There was one Western and three, East- trust, and one of these concerns had a large amount of paper from different farm- ers discounted by the hanks. Through its ramifications and banking connections the Farm Machinery Trust obtained control of this paper, indorsed by ite principal competitors, and insisted of going into a receivers bands or of accept- ing the terms offered and selling out to the tinst, Although perfeotly solvent and having almost $2,000,000 in assets more than its liabilities.

Then baving put itself in the position States which manufactured ali kinds of farm implements the International Haives- ter company prepared a contract which, if accepted by the implement dealers and store keepers, will drive every other imple- will give the International Harvester com- ed-States. = 'Thi8 1905 contract which every dealer and store keeper must sign or not be al- lowed to baudle any of the trust’s goods, provides that if the dealer isin any way interested in the sale of other implements than ‘those manufactured by the Inser- national Harvester company, either di- rectly or indirectly, he shall pay to the International Harvester company liquidat- ed damages in the amount stated in the contract.

There has been incorporated ‘in ‘Wisconsin a corporation with $1,000,000 capital = known as the International Harvester Company of America. This Wisconsin company buys the product. of ‘the New Jersey company. The New Jersey company does not. do ‘business throughout the United States and the | Wisconsin company does.

Don’ t Do Just Enough to Barn Your Pay. Among the young men who are fond of | “making sarcastio references to Fate because they have not been more suecessfal this expression is very common : “I’m earning all the money I'm getting. I don’s intend to do any more work than I'm paid for.”? This rule a great many men follow very carefully. They estimate what they think they ought todo to earn their salaries, and they do that and no more. They feel that betause they are conscientious in their effort to earn exactly what is paid for. "This logic may be sonnd,although usual- ly a man’s estimats of what bis woik is worth is not very accarate; but it is about earner well can take. ‘If a man is not worth more than hei is getting, it stands to reason that he will never get’ more. As long as he is earning his present, salary, his employers have no object in paying him one which he doesn’t earn. When a man who owns a husiness raises a salary, he does it because he finds it profitable to himself to do so. There is very little sentiment [concerned in the transaction: The employer doesn’t pay a lazy man any more money in the hope to make him industrious. That hope would Dever be realized. He does not advance the salary of a man in the expectation that the man will be worth. more to the concern. The employer koows that an expectation of that kind would be idiotic. When salaries are raised, they are raised t0 meet the growing valae ‘of men who are earning more than they get, : The business man knows that to: keep good men working for him he muét pay them according to what they do, not what they would do if they got more money. In all kinds of business where men are employed there is a large class of clerks and other wage earners who work only for pay day. . They are continually haunted by the neighhor, who is paid the same, or that they will wear out their brains in order to ‘make another man’s fortune. + They will always continue to work for pay day, and their envelopes at the end of amount of money—or less ; for: when a man lacks interest in what he i is doing be soon begins to fall off in his earning power. they are paid for, and who are not so much worried about wearing out their brains as they are about using them too little, are the men whose wages areadvanced. Employers learn that such men steadily earn more than they are paid, and while their salaries may never keep pace with their value—there would be no profit in employing them if such was the ‘oase—they at least are progressing, and soon will leave their pessimistio young friends far behind. Another thing which the man who goes Lous after sucoees soon learns is that when ‘he does another man’s work he must do it bester than his predecessor did. ~~ © If one book-keeper or clerk takes the place of another, be will attract no atten- Hm as Joug'as he fie. does She work exactly as ¢ was done befor a Beat nor 3a ites well; he wil be likely to last very lobg in his new posi- tion.

They are mistaken in this essimate, for God bas ordered that men should labor.
