THE OLD.FASRIONED MAN.
A Realistic View OF the Venerable
Over-Praised Individual.

A Realistic View OF the Venerable
Over.Praised Individual.
Detroit Free Press.
81 was readin' in de paper yesterday,
said Brother Gardner as the meeting opened
after the usual style; 81 was a-readin' a la
ment bekase the olefashun'd man an'woman
had died Off an would be seen no mo-
on airth foreber. Ize glad on it. De ole
fashun'd man scraped off de measure when
he sold wheat; he believed dat any sort of
food an any sort of bed was good huff fur
his chilln; he took de biggest piece of pie
at de table; he ate mo- like a hog dan
human bein'; if he had sympathy
it was for his cattle instead of his family.
De ole-fashun'd man was reg'lar attend
ant at prayer -meetin', but he worked his
hired help twenty hours out of twenty-four
just de same. He'd drive five miles to
church OH Sunday to show his religun, but
doOrin' de odder six days of de week he
was bad man to trade hosses wild. 1t took
his wife six months to git up de courage to
ak him fur new caliker dress, an mos of
his chillen growed up an went away from
home widout reckoleckShun of a dozen
kind words.
''De ole-fashun'd man had two recipes
fur his fellow bein's. De fust was hard
work: de mex was boneset tea. He had
but two ideahs in regard to boys. De fust
was lots O. work an leetle schoolin'; de
mex was lots O. lickins an no holidays He
had but two ideahs in regard to bizness. De
fust was git all ye kin; de mex was to keep
all ye git. He argued dat liar could neber
enter de kingdom of Heaben, but would go
out an lick sick OK to death without any
fear about his hereafter. He prayed loudly
dat de Lawd would increase his crops, but
he kept his hired hands down to de lowest
possible figure. He made great show of
submittin' to de will of providence, but if
500 pounds of hay got wet in rain storm
some of de chiren come in for lickin' befo'
night.
''De ole fashun'd man an woman hev de-
parted, an de world hasn't lost cent by it.
1t was good depart. Wicked as some
folks claim de world to be, l feel dat 1 can
walk into de average crowd an pick out
mo- charity, humanity, religun, sympathy
an morality dan could be found in ten
acre lot of old fashioned men,"

British Grain ,rrnde.

LONDON, May 10.-The Mark Lane Express
in its review of the British grain trade during
the past week, says: Summer weather has
prevailed. ard absence of rain retards vege-
tation. Wheat trade is hardening. Sales OF
English wheat during the week were 81, $50
quarters at Bis cd, against 5,435 quarters at
SIS Id during the corresponding period of last
year. Flour is firm, but slow of sale. Foreign
wheats are weaker, owing to large receipts
OF American flour. The expectation OF q
deluge of the English market with American
flour, together with the fact that American
gamblers i'll wheat are staggering under the
load which they are attempting to carry,
weakens the tone OF the market and paralyzes
legitimate trade. American -four is cheaper.
Five cargoes of wheat arrived, three cargoes
were sold, one was Withdrawn and two re-
mained. Trade forward is stagnant. To-day
the market was slow and showed no improve
mpnt. buyers were shy.

NEW YORK, May 10.-Trading on the stock
exchange this morning was on moderate
scale, but the tone was firm and prices gradu-
ally advanced from the opening up to 12:3Op.
m, when figures were up n to IL per cent.
from those of Saturday. At the OPEN
ing the announcement was made that
Mr.. c. T Woerishoffer, the prominent
bear broker, had died suddenly during the
night. The announcement caused consider
able surprise but did not in any way affect
prices. The bulls bid prices up and caused
some of the smaller bears to cover. The
principal business was in Lackawanna, St.
Paul, Lake Shore, Union Pacific and Kansas
y Texas. In the two hours to noon l49 600
shares had changed hands. The stock market
was extremely dull throughout the afternoon.
Nothing worthy OF note transpired until Just
before the hour of delivery when the chair
mans gavel raped for order. When quiet
was obtained the announcement was made
that Mr.. George Dickinson, professional
broker had failed. Some IL, 900 shares which
he was unable to deliver on his short con-
tracts were bought in under the rule for his
account. The failure has no influence on the
market.
