MDon't Work on Sunday"

About the time when congress,
through the influence of the untiring
efforts of Henry Clay, appropriated
the money for that great macadamized
highway known as the National turn
pike road, extending from Frederick,
Maryland, to indianapolis, Indiana,
the farmers living i'll the Shenandoah
valley procured large wagons capable
of holding five or six tons of freight,
TO these immense wagons they hitched
six strong horses. Loading their wag-
ons with -four, wheat, corn, potatoes,
apples, and other things of their own
raising, they drove to Baltimore. AT
ter disposing of their farm products,
they would obtain return load.
Sometimes their "back load" as they
called it, consisted of goods for their
neighbOring country merchants, or for
a more distant point, as Cumberland,
Pittsburgh, or Wheeling.
Besides the teams owned by the
farmers, there were men who did
nothing else the year through but haul
merchandise west and western produce
to the city on the national thorough
fare, who were known as "regulars"
among wagoners. The writer has fire.
duently seen scores of these arks of
wagons strung out for several miles in
a continuous row, but IA few feet sepa-
rating between any two of them, each
with six heavy horses attached there
to, and every horse with bow of iron,
ornamented with half a dozen musical
bells, sprung from one side to the 9TH
er of the collar. When these long
trains were viewed from an opening
on mountain, they seemed to be an
immense monster slowly crawling
through the dust of the valley below
and wearily dragging its huge body
toward the mountain for the whole
! line seemed to be one continuous body.
One of these old regulars" who
was known from Baltimore to the 9th
er end of the line at Pittsburgh by the
unenviable cOgnomen of "Devll Tom
Beard" is the topic of this article
This significant title was given to
him for several reasons. In the first
place he wore huge beard, in those
days when every person else shaved
clean then he assumed the name Oi
"TOm,n because he did not wish his
own name to be known because Oi
his propensity for mischief and for
perpetrating practical jokes, the COM
mon saying in regard to him was that
che had no regard for his Creator, his
fellow men, or for Satan" Those who
knew him best gave him the widest
berth. He was also a most blasphe-
nous wretch, taking his Makers name
in vain almost every ten minutes o
his waking hours.

trade of the regulars was destroyed

Excess Of exports x3ss22sI9 s54650.s07 sj4s55.2i4
The stock speculation to-day developed fever
lsh and unsettled Tone that after many small fiuc
tuatlons and generally rather dull movements re-
suited in final figures being somewhat lower than
yesterdays last prices. Opening prices, however.
were firm, and early transactions in many In
stances caused prices nearly up to yesterdays best
figures; but it was only in two or three cases
that the maximum was reached, and in those
it was exceeded. Louisville and Nashville and
Western Union stocks were the special features OF
the day. Louisville and Nashville commanded IS
per cent for the of certificates in the early loan
market, although it later loaned at IS per cent and
fiat its price rose from AZ q to and Il closed az
ended at 76ie Union Pacific developed
sufficient strength TO mark its price from
T5s to- 7s4 but it later sold
at 77lsG77as against 77Ss yesterdays last price.
ST. Paul continued to attract the attention Of oper
atOrs to such extent that the transactions in it
amounted to $500 shares; it opened up 4 at
79l2, rose to 1913 and closed at SS30SS7s. North
western sold mp to S7s,, 4 per cent higher than
yesterdays last price, but it afterward sold at
117's and closed only 's higher than yes :;
the northern Pacific family was fat except
in Oregon Transcontinental, which was active, and
at at sV sad
Lake Shore finally at 9Sls was 4 lower than yes
terday, Central and Hudson at 114i2 was 90 lower.
Michigan Central. at 81 was lis per cent lower.
Erie at 20 was 12 lower, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western at 1904 was ls lower, Central of New
Jersey at SO was los lower and Reading at 53i2
weak at 55653l2G 537s. The shares Of the South
western railways were neglected and their prices
were without material changes. Manitoba was IN
active at prices ranging between w ~ and %; but
the closing quotation was 81 bid and 81 Se asked
Spring Mountain Coal suddenly became active and
from 313l rose to 340345s. The market closed
dull and without feature.
Government bonds were quiet and steady. The
quotations are unchanged as follows:
