An Interesting and somewhat curi ous fact Is that some of the tall men of genius have had moderate sized heads. Shelley, the poet, was tall, but had a small head, and some of the small men Imbued with the divine spark had large heads, apparently proving that the size of the head lias little to do with the quality of the brains.

Carnegie Company Was Bought at $ 2 for $1—Competition Elim inated By Combine. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery Washington, D. C.— John W. Gates told the house "steel trust” investiga ting committee Saturday the history o f the United States Steel corpora tion. Present at its birth, he de scribed how it was the natural out come of what he described as the re fusal of Andrew Carnegie to be bound by the "gentlemen’s agreements” that marked the early days of open competition in the steel business. He also told o f millions lost and created almost in a breath; how the Carnegie mills, appraised at $1(50,- 000,000, were reorganized as worth $020,000,000 almost within the time required to make the transfer to the corporation; of the clash in the form ative days when John D. Rockefeller was dissuaded from joining in the cre ation o f the trust. Relating how Carnegie had been forced to abandon plans for extending his steel business, Mr. Gates frankly admitted the combination was formed to throttle competition, and that, when John D. Rockefeller had sought to enter the steel business, a deal was put through which forced him to sell out for 40 cents on the dollar. Characterizing Mr. Carnegie as a “ bull in a china shop,” Mr. Gates told of a midnight conference between himself, Charles M. Schwab and J. P. Morgan, at which the Steel Corpora tion was conceived, and said that it resulted in Carnegie’s getting $320,- 000,000 in the corporation’s securities for his interests, which he had offered for sale for $160,000,000 cash. The taking over o f the Tennessee Coal & Iron company during the panic of 1907, he said, was confidential deal, put through by Mr. Morgan, and was forced on him. Plans made by Mr. Carnegie in 1899 and 1900 to circle his steel interests with a railroad of his own and to com pete with the National Tube company, organized by Mr. Morgan, by the erec tion of a tube works at Ashtabula, O., were factors that led to the birth of the steel combine. SHE SUFFERED FIVE YEARS Finally Cured by Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. Two Sides to a Crime. It Is all part of our tendency to b« kind and considerate to lawbreakers; to think of the family of the man who bos killed somebody Instead of consld erlng the family of his victim; to la; stress on the devotion of the relatives of the man who has looted a bank, rather than to take Into account th« broken depositors and their sharp suf terlngs. Hence the general approval of the fantastic extension of the par doning power, which meets with no real, sane disapproval.—New York Evening Bun. HEAT KILLS MANY.

Weather forecasters predict a break in the torridity some time within 24 hours. At Toledo, O., two persons fell dead in the streets and at Evansville, Ind., a heat victim, while delirious, cut his throat. Dispatches from other cities and towns tell similar stories. St. Louis is experiencing record weather and the schools there will remain closed until the situation is relieved. In Pittsburg, Youngstown, O., Gary, Ind., and other industrial centers where large steel mills are located, work has been reduced to the mini mum, as men cannot endure the in tense heat. At Milwaukee Frank Siehel, secre tary to George Brunder, the publisher, was overcome by the heat and com mitted suicide by drowning.
