Payment of ran som and offers of rewards alike appeal to the cupidity of conscienceless scoun drels of the type who figure In the Ciilahy : and McCormUk outrages. What Is needed Is the stern nnd relent less Imposition of exemplary punish ments that will dissuade would-be Imi tators of a crime that Is the rellnement of cruelty , and that is so dltllcult to guard against except by extraordinary precautions. Gutting On in tlio World. Iu an Interesting article on the Trust Uullders In Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly the author has a good story to tell of Charles II.

He re fused this offer , but said nothing about It to .Mr. Carnegie , who hoard of It in directly. Carnegie summoned Schwab to him and asked wliv he did not ac cept the position. Mr. Schwab retiled ] frankly that It was not what he wanted - ed , and hi response to his employer's Inquiry as to what he did want replied that he hoped In time to become a partner In the Carnegie works. This ambition was realized In 181)0 ) , when he was placed In supreme control of the company , with more than forty thou sand men under him. Mr. Schwab Is now a little past forty , and , In addition to the salary of one hundred thousand dollars per year , which he received from the Carnegie company at the time of Us absorption in the steel trust , he held au Interest of llfteeii million dollars lars In the concern.

II may j have been unavoidable when It oc curred , or have bccii thought so at least , or more likely pot thought about at all until the mischief was done.

It Is not within the ability of every woman to absolutely suppress all manifestations of suffering ; It Is surely within the pow er of everyone to make up her mind nnd to teach her children to endure the smaller necessary woes of exist ence without an outcry , and thus aid In the acquisition of control over larger forms of trouble.
