The animation in the stock market gradually
disappeared after IL O'clock except in Reading
and Lackawana, each of which were specially
weak, while Reading lost all its morning advance,
except small fractions. Lackawana at the lowest
point was 1915 below opening price. The gen.
eral list made no further decline. Toward 1 a
rising tendency was developed, though the i'm
provement was slight. After the market with
little increase In animation, again receded, though
outside of Lackawana, which reached nearly

Thrilling story of Real Life.
lehicago Tribune.]

CHAPTER I.
Once upon a time there was a big fat
man who lived on little island.
To protect his island from invasion he
built big ironclad man-of-war.
CHAPTER II.
About the same time there was a long,
thin, scrawny man, whose home was on a
boundless continent.
When he learned that the fat man had
built big ironclad he went to work and
made a torpedo boat that could blow the
ironclad sky high.
CHAPTER III.
When the big man on the little island
heard that the lean, scrawny man on the
boundless continent had made a torpedo
boat that could knock out his ironclad in
the first round he made bigger ironclad.
CHAPTER ~.
Then the long, thin man scratched his
head awhile and went and made bigger
torpedo boat.
CHAPTER V.
The man on the island thought and
thought, and then made a perfectly ire
knendous ironclad.
CHAPTER VI
The other man then mortgaged farm
. and built most gigantic torpedo boat.
CHAPTER VII.
And the man with the ironclads sold a
dozen or two of his outside islands and
turned out bigger ironclad than anybody
had ever seen.
CHAPTER VIII.
Then the thin man built bigger topedo
boat.

A TALE OF ASIA.
Showing that Virtue Will have Its
Reward.

among all people, even the most barba-
rous, what is meritorious from their stand
point is bound to get its due.
1t was in the arid plains OF Asia Inc
noble sheik, Dhanmeg Yute, was presented
with an antique book of wisdom compiled
by some old forgotten philosopher. He
read it carefully, but the more he tried to
penetrate its hidden meanings the more he
became confused. At last in despair he
resolved to send for his three chief inter

some inkling of the truth.
The gifted trio came post haste into
their masters tent, and tried to look. as ia
customary in such cases, good deal wiser
than they felt.
"Here Is an ancient volume of wisdom. {"
