at last. The weather was warm and she
worked all day and often sat up all night to
watch by his side and humor his fancies
He was not able to walk; the dry air could
not help. And then Kit never came to the
tavern, and Mary Fenton went TO her every
day.
Mrs. Jones fretted to go home. "Bilrs as

As the days passed on the sick man grew

There were dark rings widening under her
eyes from sieepless nights and the young
cheeks Were growing hollow. Mary Fenton

sick man refused il she would say with a
ghost OF the old merry laugh: You've
spoilt him. Miss Mary: nothing's good
enough now"
The gay tavern life went on Mary Fen

and moved on with the rest OF the summer

The weather was very sultry. The jagged

The ladies lounged around the tavern

About tho Present Condition OF the

At no time in the history Of New York City have
there been 90 many deaths from Pneumonia as
now. The official figures show that nearly twice as
many deaths from this cause are occurring than for
the last five years. This is something terrible
DR.. John 4. Magic. Registrar Of Vital Statistics,
say that this increase II due to the influence of
grip he says that grip may BE- called epidemic
Just now and that In the majority Of cases grip Is
vital, contributing cause to pneumonia aud all
dangerous pulmonary troubles. At this time OF
the year when We are changing over from winter
to spring there u always low order Of vitality;
reaction from the strains of the season The blood
does not how % full nor rapidly; the strength 10
less For this reason grip has . much better chance
than at any other season
This 10 . time Of year when people need to be
careful and too much Importance cannot be placed
upon keeping the blood warm and In circulation.
You must bring about = reaction II You wish to
avoid the pain and dangers Of these trouo es in
time There Is but one way by which q reaction
can be brought about and that Is by the use Of
pure stimulant preferably whiskey. But the great

"a strange fact about the snow Is that

eminent was hopeless failure ~, far as
Quebec was concerned; and he pronounced
imperial federation dream. she only
choice for Quebec YVES between annexa-
ton or the establishment Of an snaepend-
ent commonwealth. He preferred indie
pendence, becauze be desires the erection
OF Quebec into an Independent republic,
as condition precedent to acquiring the
treaty power needed for its adnnssion TO
the Union.
NJ. Mercier evidently expects the an
nexa;ion of Quebec 10 the Unirea States
as the inevitable outcome of q preliminary
assertion Of Independence. 1t .1as only
harsh necessity, he said. which Pad forced
hundreds OF thousands Of French Cana
dams to forsake their country; asd they
would return to it, provided is political
and economical cond ton could tie ameli-
GRATED, so that the Province Of Quebec
would offer such opportunities 81 profita-
BILE employment as are found in tie neigh
boring republic. NJ. Mercier ge-e.ss that
the people. through the Quotes legisla-
ture, petition the home gove' aLnent to
permit the withdrawal of Quebec from the
operation of the act creating sae Domin-
ion system of confederation. This petit
ton, II. Mercier believes, would be
granted by the home government. and
Quebec would be RENTED to the. position
sire occupied before 1867. Then If
she desired Independence. the London
Spectator thinks, she would meet with no
opposition on the part OF Great Britain.
Once transformed into an Independent
commonwealth. the province os Quebec
would find itself Ia a situation precisely
like that of Texas after the latter country
had seeded from Mexico and organized
separate republic 1t would .i,en DO at
liberty to apply for admiss .oI. to the
American Union and to negotiate the
requisite treaty. .

he would seek political Incorporation with

the cost OF machinery and labor, the
length Of time it would take to get plant
In operation. He thought . plant could
be gotten in operation in thirty days. Mr..
Walsh also explained about how many
cans could be put up to the bushel Of peas,
beans. ETC.. which would depend on the
quality of the vegetables. 1t seemed to be
the unanimous opinion of those present
that cannery here would have to depend
mostly on peas and beans. Mr.. Walsh
thought there was more money
In canning beans. Regarding peas
Mr.. Goodwin said he had handled thou
sands Of barrels Of peas grown in the vicin-
ity OF Baltimore, the greatest pea canning
country in the world. and he thought
Washington peas were better in every
way. Mr.. Walsh thought that peas and
beans could be put up here a. cheaply a.
In California. but he was not familiar with
the cost OF raising them or their market
value here.
President Goldsmith suggested. on ac-
count of the lateness Of the season, that
Myers cannery be rented for the purpose
OF the experiment, or that the proprietors
OF that institution be induced to try the
experiment themselves, the jobbsrs of tho
city agreeing to buy their entire pack.
The subsidies offered were thought to be
largo enough to buy what machinery
would be necessary this year. In accord
ance with this suggestion Secretary Van
Doren was instructed to sec the proprie-
tors OF the Myers salmon cannery in rela-
ton to the matter and report to future

The excitement in Wall street caused by
the decline in the so-caiied industrial
stocks is not liable 10 do any serious damage.
To be sure, the creduious people who have
invested their money in sugar. whisky and
cordage trust certificates upon the strength
Of a!inring promises will lose some money.
Outside Of those directly interested. how
ever, there need be no apprehension.
Ii is a strange and striking commentary
upon the credulity OF human nature that
90 many foolish people always stand ready
TO snap at any investment of speculative
nature. Take for example the stocks that
have been so mercilessiy hammered in
Wall street for the past few days. What
do they represent? In most instances
absolutely nothing but water" and "pros-
pects.'
A few designing men get together and
buy up all the whisky dis.illeries or all the
cordage works in the country. They pro-
coed to issue bonds on the properties ac-
quired for more than their actual cost
and clean up at once all the money that
they put into the enterprise and hand
ready ito work the public" They issue
millions of dollars of preferred stock and
of common stock. They issue glowing
prospectuses setting forth the fabulous
profits that the enterprises are sure to
yield. They list the stock on Wall street
and send it up or down five or ten points
just 10 get people interested. Then they
begin to sacrifice their holdings to eager
buyers and the prices Of stocks that repre-
sent nothing bu: the cost Of printing the
sock certificates 60 rising skywnrds until
the INSIDERS" are ready to unload.
When that time comes 'the bottom"
drops out of the market: there IL q small
panic on Wall street, and call loans 90 to
20 per cent. The lambs are shorn Of their
wool. They stink away from speculation
for awhile until the time for shearing gets
around again. and then they reappear.
The professionals of Wall street always
have something new to offer. 1t used to
he railroad stocks. The public, however.
got taken in 50 often In this direction that
they fought shy Of them. Then the in
dustrials were taken up. and SO far they
have worked like q charm. When they
have donc their work some new scheme
will DO hatched. And 80 il will continue
until peope who are not ION the inside"
of Wall street ideals" learn that they are
playing with loaded dice when they try
their hand at speculation.
