J. P. Morgan Reparted Interested
With Eerepeae Capitalists in
Riant Merger.
Christiana, Jan., 7.—It is re
ported that J. P. Morgan ot New
York and the Cutsherbank of
Berlin are planning a world-wide
trust in the nitrate industry with
a capital of $200,000,000. It is
understood the syndicate intends
to purchase all the saltpeter
mines ip Chile as well as the ni-
trate works in. Norway ,where
$20,000,000 is invested. T^e
scheme, it is said,”has not passed
the stage of preliminary discus-
sion and skepticism concerning
its success prevails here.
The leading Norwegian nitrate
men are now in Berlin, where
the international administrative
board is holding its annual meet-
ing. _m,n
A Gentle Mother’s Gift.
Exchange.
She was a gentle mother whose
ineffable love and constant
sweetness descended like warm
sunshinelupon her devoted Cbil-
dren and bound them tightly to
her/
r She lived for them. They were
her one* great moving thought.
To do for them was her suprem-
est pleasure. To press them to
her tender, caressing*' breast, to
kiss* their upturned fact s, to see
herllov^ reflected from their eves,
to laugh with them, to weep
withCtbem. to prav with them—
ah, tbose were the fountains ot
her jov, the springs of the life
«he thought worth while living
i«r.'
Apd'from this inspiring inti-
macy between the mother and
her children there grew up a
something that the word “love”
does!not seem to express, a some-
thing purer than the breath of
.the flower, a something sweeter
than the human dream of heaven.
To the children the mother
became more than a mother—a
saint. Her wavs became their
ways. Her ideals became their
ideals. To them she was all per-
fection, and her smallest .wish
was*theirlhearts’ desire.
Such was |the charming confi-
dence .fthaCTheld together this
little, obscure] family, and thus
was ionnded’their sacred and im-
mortal love. x
Silver* threads wove in with
the brown. Her patient eyes
grew tired. »The relentless hand
of time etched! blue lines jn her
lace; Pain!? entered u into the
body, making feeble the feet and
distorting the sott, embracing
hands. But that wonderful pa-
tienccwhich had been her great
charm, which had made her tri-
umph over severe material*re-
verses, did not desert her now
Calmly and without complaint
she'suffered the tortures of the
flesh. In the hours of her poign-
ant distress she yet had*smiles
and sweet words for her chil-
dren, and her crippled 'hands
were not too paining to stop'the
soft stroke upon their heads.
At last unconsciousness comes
and she sleeps. Without] the
door of the humble! home the
pale horse stands to bear her
forth to unknown lands. Night
FOREWORD

has stilled the city. Tne chil-
dren stand about her bed. A
kind providence enters in xand
opens the mother’s eyes for a mo-
ment and she spe.aks, while the
old, happy smile spreads o’er, her
face. .
Gathering her children about
her for the last time,!this mother
said; ‘!l am going *away, my
children. I am not at raid.
There is nothing “more for me to
tell you, -nothing more than I
have al ways told you.” And the
gentle spirit went out.
What a victory was this life
and this death!
What material' inheritan:e can
compare with this mother s gift
to her children? ,
j; Wise Sayings
Promising is not giving, but
seems to content fools.
It sometimes seems that two
leads can be much emptier than
one. .
It maybe hard to live within
one’s salary, but generally much
harder to live without it. •
Ho v can we expect another to
keep our.secret, if we cannot keep
it ourselves?—La Rochefoucauld.
To things which- you bear
with impatience you should ac-
custom yourself; and by habit
you will bear them well. *
It is better to buy your char-
acter; but as long as you live
your reputationjis at the mercy
of anv babbler.

Worldly prosperity does not
necessarily mean happiness either
here or hereafter.
We all have to assume.a stand-
ard of judgment in our own
minds either of persons or things.
A man who is willing to take an-
other man’s opinion has to exer-
cise his judgment in deciding
whom to follow.—Holmes.

Has Taft the Herve?
Life.
The perplexity about Taft is
partly due to his being selected a
President who has had leader-
ship thrust upon him. and not
one who fought his way out and
up in politics. W ith him politi-
cal lite is an acquired taste, and
while his remarkable qualifica-
tions as a public servant are well
Understood and appreciated, there
is uncertainty about his qualifi-
cations ag a public master. And
that is about what the Presiden-
cy has come to be—a masterships
The insurgents and tariff fit-
formers were disappointed in
Taft because he did not asseH'f
his mastership more effectually
over Congress, and compel a bet-
ter tariff bill. .Mr. Taft, being a
lawver and conversant with the
Constitution, has doubts in his
mind, perhaps, how far the Pres-
ident ought to try to constrain
Congress. We are told that the
business of a lawyer is to maljre
it har<f to do anything—to slow
things up. Mr. Taft’s lawyer-
like qualifications in that partic-
ular were hailed with ecstacy a
year ago by folks wbo were tired
of having too much done and
going too fast. But the country
is far trom being willing;to slow
up for Jong in what it-regards as
good works. In the long run the
Progressive party is the only
party that has a chance. The
question is not, will the Pro-
gressives win? but who will be
the Progressives, and what will
they take lip? In so far as they
take up good things, President
Taft is bound to be with them or
perish, and he will haye to be
with them, not in the capacity.of
lawyer, but in the active exer-
cise ot the sort of mastership
that has come to be expected of
his office.
Cleveland could not lead his
party, and spent his last official

strength and all his mastership—
which was much—in a vain
struggle to keep it from going
headlong to the devil.
Roosevelt dominated his party,
swung it around until it pointed
where he thought it ought to
point, drove it in that direction,
and saved it alive.
Taft is good ballast, but he
must be more than that. He
must stay on deck and keep the
wheel. He miisUsteer his party
or he will fail. H’e has, appar-
ently, the brains and the con-
science tor the. job. The doubt
is whether he has the nerve.

Charity for the Row Tear.
Tfmpson Times.
One bit of religion that Chris-
tians should practice more is the
forgivei iess]of past offenses. Be-
cause same one did something
wrong tears ago is no reason why
his sinj should be remembered
- against;him now. Perhaps he
has^oog .since repented aud re-
formed and purged his soul of
every stain. Perhaps efren now
bitter remorse gnaws at bis
heart, and he has suffered enough
from his awn conscience,.without
being pursued and tormented by
the unforgiveness ot his asso-
ciates—untorgiveness that mani-
fests itself in’the averted face,
the uncharitable remark and the
eyer ready memory.
One nas but to look into his
own beart’and lire to realize the
injustice of keeping open account
against his neighbor.
A good business man balances
accounts at intervals; i a good
Christian will close his ^accounts
without seeking to balance; he
will forgivcf, even as be hopes to
be forgiven.
All of us as Christians sub-
scribe to the belief that Cbriat
forgives* sin,!bnt most of ns re-
fuse to live our belief.
Another Christian principle
that I would advocate for .the
new year is another phrase of
charity, the charity that is long-
suffering and kind. , Don’t be so
ready to interpret motives. Give
the benefit of the doubt, for may-
be after all, the construction, you
put upon the act of another ia
but the interpretation of your
own heart. Seeing that we are
ourselves so often misunderstood,
isn’t it just a little strange that
we keep trying' to judge other
people,? There is untold ^misery
in judging; there is joy in be-
lieving the bestin spite of Ap-
pearances. !l
