There were sales OF only 5l.3OO shares in

all fractionally lower, and In New Eng

the market at all. The early London prices
were reported lower than the closing figures
fere last night but there was no selling for
London account and on the whole the
market, considering the extreme dizziness,
was fairly steady. The little firmness shown
was due TO the growing belief that

proyement in the marset after II O'Clock.
The same apathy which characterized the
mornings dealings prevailed. The market
seemed 10 sink OF its own weight. and gave
no immediate evidence Of a revival. There
was no new current, and baking was con-
fined TO board-room traders, who operated
for fraternal profits. The only speculative
stock that attracted any attention WAS the
Chicago Gas Trust, at one time it advanced
4 per cent. to Al ON the belief that the COM
pany had arranged for a compromise with
the city OF Chicago, by which the latter
should receive four per cent of the CON-
pany's gross earnings, and that the price Of
gao, sl.D per foot should be maintained.
rhis is conceded to be the basis OF settle
ment as soon as the trust is reOrganized
into a new corporation. The closing prices
were generally i 10 per cent lower. The
sales amounted TO only 1l0,955 shaps.

The Dutch revolution Of the Sixteenth
century. the British revolution of the
Seventeenth century and the American
revolution of the Eighteenth century We're
three logically connected stages in the eve
linton Of liberty. Their history forms three
serial chapters in the literature Of freedom
II is not at all surprising, therefore, that
there should be a marked similarity IN the
language Of the three people in declaring
their rights, a similarity sufficient to en-
able the critics of Thomas Jefferson to say
that he had pIagiarized from the declara-
ton Of the United Provinces Of the Neither
lands and the declaration Of rights by the
British Wings Of 16s9-9o. The parallel be
tween these declarations IS indeed instrue-
tive: they all sum up in a principle: the
natural rights of men 20 choose their form
of government.

him. 1t was a fine situation for q boy
with q dollars worth of fun in his room,
and an impatient chum whistling outside,
of a Fourth Of July.
1t seemed a long time to wait, for Albert
was awake before four o'clock, but as a
matter of fact Mr.. Wilson went up quite
early TO his boys room. Entering, he
found Albert fully dressed, looking out of
the window, listening to various noises in
the village. There were tears in his eyes,
but he brushed them away before turning
to speak to his father.
81 understand said the father, that
you bought some f~recrackers yesterday
Yes, sir" said Albert.
LET me see Them said Mr.. Wilson, and
the boy brought out his bundle and opened
it. That is a fine lot. Where did you
get the money to buy them WITH"
81 found it, sir"
Where did you find it,"
"By the front gate"
Didn't you know who it belonged to-"
mo, sir" said the boy, ~hesitating a lit
tie; and then with a desperate burst of
courage he said: ayes, knew well enough;
but, Pop, don't you know it's the Fourth
of July? l reckon when you WAS a boy
you wouldn't "a gone round hunting up
owners for silver dollars when they jumped
right up at you, and you hadn't got no
money nor no firecrackers."
Now, Mr.. Wilson did not suppose for a
minute that he would have done any such
thing, and moreover he liked the boys
frankness, and although he did use the
strap occasionally, believing that he ought
to do SO. he did not like it any more than
Albert did. 1t wasn't the first time the
boy had put him in a quandary.
ssWell, my son" he said, not unkindly,
after he had considered a moment, Il am
willing to make allowances. but you must
remember TO be honest above all things.
You must pay back that dollar
ives, SIR said Albert, delighted at get
ting off so easily.
But after he had escaped from the house
and Joined Jim, and the two were disturb
ing the peace to the best of their ability,
he saw a well known figure coming down
tle village street. and ran toward it.
s'Say, George Whitaker he exclaimed
breathlessly, ''ain't you going to be my
brothersn
Whitaker laughed and said. "Whygn
"iCos if you are,n said Albert, II don't
s'pose I'll have to be in any great hurry
about payin' back that dollar o. yours

you know"
And George laughed again, and told him
he needn't be in any special hurry.
And after the fireerackers were all gone,
Albert said ccnfdentially to Jim, AFTER
all, it makes a Teller feel heaps better to get
his money honest, don't ity'
Il don't know said Jim.

took fully fifteen minutes before that
finger was in such a condition that George
Whitaker was able to let 80 of it.
Just before be did so Albert spoke to
himself again. '.Goshg, he said, what a
fool a Teller is to kiss a gals hand II he
wants to kiss her, why don't he kiss her IN
the mouth? She'd a good deal druther he
would"
Very possibly George Whitaker did not
know this.
He let go her hand with a little sigh, and
slipped the penknife into his vest pocket.
And the penknife slipped right through
and fell on the ground. Maggie saw it
fall and told him about it, and he inyestl'
gated things, discovering that the lining
and pocket were both torn.

'sYou must have it mended right away, -"
said Maggie, with womanly promptness'
Come back in the sitting room.
So they went back, George nothing lotn,
and found old Mr.. Wilson there reading
and smoking his pipe. He did not object 70
the courtship that was going on, but on
contrary approved it thoroughly. but you
would never catch him going to bed unth
Maggie was safe in her " room.
He looked up inquiringly when they en-
tered the room, and Maggie began with en-
tjrely unnecessary confusion TO explain
what had happened.
Mr.. Wilson did not talk much, but what
he did say was generally to the point.
Moreover, he was fond OF a joke He lis
tened while Maggie explained, snd then
said dryly. 'sH'ml That's what comes OF
a man living alone, with no women
folks to take care of hiua."
George was fully as much embarrassed
as Maggie was at this kind of a speech,
but there didn't seem to be any way OF
concealing his confusion. while Maggie
busted herself looking for a needle and
thread 60 he sfaxl still and suffered

so very much, but it would not do to have
the powder and crackers confscated.
"Say, Jim, III tell you what" said Al
bert at length. "We'I tie 'em all together
in a big bundle and keep it in your barn
till tonight. Then after all our folks has
gone to bed you fetch it over and come
under my window, and I'll let down a rope
and pull it up. You give me the whistle
when you come, and I'll be all ready"
"An right" said James, and that was
settled. Then it remained to quarrel about
whether they had spent the money TO the
best advantage. James commended that
they ought to have bought some Roman
candles, while Albert favored the thought
of having skyrockets, and so earnestly did
each advocate his own views that they
almost came to blows
After some hours, however, this subject
was forgotten in consideration OF the still
more exciting question, whether any OF
the ammunition should be used that night,
or whether it should all be kept for the
Fourth. A boy has a great many things
to consider on such occasions, and it was
important to decide on the best way to
avoid getting licked, and at the same time
get ali the good out of that dollar. Finally
it was decided that it was best to wait till
morning.
1t is a most interesting and instructive
thing to notice how things that seem to be
the most irrelevent and inconsequent
sometimes work together toward the most
astonishing results. In this case, if it had
not been for a hole In Mr.. Whittaker's vest
pocket, a splinter, a penknife and a dear
little white finger; and If Albert hadn't
carried of two spools of cotton from Mag
gie's work basket the day before, it would
probably have But this is a little too
fast.
All went on as the boys had planned it
until Albert went to his room to wait for
James. To be sure, George Whitaker had
called to invite Maggie to a picnic next
day, and Albert reflected with much dis
gust that he and Maggie would stand by
the gate Tor some time, and so keep him
waiting; but be knew James was too wary
to come till George had gone away, 80 be
was not alarmed.

times before. GOSH he said to himself,
"I'll bet I wouldn't go sparkin' no gal if l
was as big as him. I'd be down at the
corner playin' billiards"
Now the gate was IN old one, and Albert
sometimes whitfield on it when he could
not think what else to do, wherefore there
were sometimes unexpected edges along
the top of it. There was one now, and as
