Last week he went into a deep sleep; after ten hours his heart muscles weakened; he died a "standpat" Republican, with something of the humanity of Abraham Lincoln, something of the fire of "Jim" Reed...
...differences between U. S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel lie deeper than ordinary competition. They are exemplified by the differing personalities of two men- Judge Elbert Henry Gary and Charles Michael Schwab. The Judge, for all his kindliness of heart, is ruled by his head; Mr. Schwab, for all his hard sense, is emotional. The clash of their natures showed itself at the very formation of the U. S.

Mr. Perry has managed with great skill...

Some of the poet's letters show clearly that he believed in reticence where his deepest feelings were involved, that one's heart was not to be worn upon one's sleeve.
