NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-R. 4. Dun &
Co., mercantile agents, report that,
notwiths' anding the fact that trans
actions, as interpreted by the bank
exchanges, show a large decline COM
pared with last year, all symptoms
regarding trade point to a prosperous
condition. Speculation certainly is
less rampant than a year ago, but le-
gitimate trade is almost as large in
volume and certainly more satisfactO-
ry, both as to the condition of the
stocks held and the profits realized.
The large absorption of goods at the
chief jObbing centres indicates a
healthy tone in the retail trade.
Country collections generally are
good, and money continues in abund-
ant supply, and rates for loans are
exceptionally low for this season,
when so much money is required for
moving crops. In dry goods there
has been a great deal Of activity Of a
very healthy character, and also in
groceries. iron and other leading
staples there is in the main satisfac-
tory condition.

Knight s of Labor cu the Tariff.


PITTsBuRe, Sept 2l.-It is stated
that the disorganization of the
knights of Labor is threatened, on
account of the proceedings taken at
the meeting Of the general assembly
at Cincinnati. The Pittsburg men,
bers of the order especially, it is said,
will withdraw from the organization
because Frank Foster, a pronounced
free trader, has been placed at the
head of the executive board created
at the Cincinnati meeting, and which
will hereafter direct and control the
order. 1t comes from some Of the
highest -otfi. .ers of the order in this
city that the members Of the order
who are protectionists will withdraw
from it at an early day, and that they
compose the majority of the order,
but were outgeneEalled by the free
traders who are supported by the
Golden club.

IF you WANT A KISa-TAKE IT

There's a jolly Saxon proverb
That is pretty much like this
That a man is half in heaven
When he has woman's kiss,
But there's danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsake it,
30 tell you, bashful lover,
If you want kiss, why, take it,
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this,
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss.
There's u royal way to kissing,
And the Jolly ones who make it
Have motto that is winning
II You want kiss, why, take it.
Any fool may face cannon!
Any body wear crown,
But man must win woman,
If he'd have her for his own;
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it.
If the thing is worth having,
And you want the kiss, why, take It.
Who would burn upon desert,
With smiling forest by?
Who would give sunny Summer
For bleak and wintry sky?
Oh . l tell you there is magic
And you cannot. cannot break it,
For the sweetest part Of loving
Is to want kiss and take it.

ladies told her husband what they had
done, and asked his opinion. Turning
to his desk he wrote check for 81 900,

A Useful Tree.

There is a white willow growing al
Stockbridge, Mass, which at four fee
from the ground measures twenty-five
feet in circumference, and extends it,
branches fifty feet in every direction
Tradition says it was brought from Con
necticut, in 1907, by traveller, whc
used it as a riding switch. The Hon
Jessie w. Fell, in giving an account OF
experiments in tree-planting on an extet..
sive scale in Illinois, says: "Were /
called upon to designate one tree which.
more than all others, [ would recon.
mend for general planting, l would sa,
unhesitatingly, it should be the white
willow" Professor Brewster says: "Il
England. where it is often fifty or sixty
feet high in twenty years, there is nc
wood in greater demand than
good willow. 1t is light, very
tough. soft, takes a good finish,
will bear more pounding and knocks
than any other wood grown here, and is
used for cricket bats, for floats to paddle
wheels of steamers, and brake blocks on
cars 1t is used extensively for turning,
planking, coastng vessels, furniture, OK
yokes, wooden legs, shoe lasts" etc,
Fuller says: ut groweth incredibly
fast, it being by-word that the profit
by willows will buy the owner horse
before that by other trees will pay for
saddle" The basket willow, well cult
waited, will yield net income OF $50 to
the acre. On the whole, therefore, it
would seem that the various kinds OF
willow, the economic value OF which has
been hitherto entirely overlooked in our
country, are eminently deserving of at
tention, and will amply reward those
who cultivate them.
