IT'S VERA wEeL.

It's vera weel, Throughout the dag,
When ta'en up wi wark or play,
To think man can live Away,
Wi'oot a WHEY.
But it's anither thing at night
To sit alone by can'le light,
Or gang till rest when sharp winds bite,
Wloot WHEY.
It's vera weel when claes are new,
To,think they'll always last Just so.
And look as well as they do moo,
Wi'oot wiley.
But when the holes begin TO show,
The stitches rip, the buttons go,
What in the warl's mon to do
Wi'oot a wiley?
It's vera weel when skies are clear,
When frien's are true and lassies dear,
Tothink yell gang through life, nae fear,
Wi'oot a wiley.
But clouds will come the skies athwart;
Lassies will marry; frien's maun part.
What then can cheer your saddened
heart?
A dear wee wiley.
It's vera weel when young and hale,
But when ye're auld and crazed and frail,
And your blythe spirits gin to fail,
Yell want wiley.
But mayhap then the lassies dear
VIII treat your offers wi sheer
Because ye're cranky, gray and sere-
Yell get nae wiley.
Then haste ye, haste, We silly loon,
Rise up and seek ABBOTT the toon
And get heavens greatest earthly boon,
A wee bit wiley.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW

Business Of the Country.

R. G. Dun & Co. on the Condition Of the
Business Of the Country.
New YORK, May OR. g. Dun &
Co g Weekly Review says:
In two ways there has been quite a
general improvement during the past
week. Better weather throughout
the country has stimulated the retail
trade and large distribution OF
goods made the jobbing trade more
active. Monetary anxieties have
aba ed at widely separated points,
large loans solicited here a week
or two ago TO provide for ex-
IRENE emergencies in different cities
have not been wanted and threatened
failures at several points have passed
without causing much disturbance.
Yet the actual conditions do not seem
TO have changed materially. Large
demand tor rediscounts and adj
vances by western aud southern
banks, though considerably abated,
have been greater than the
eastern banks could wholly meet
There is no definite improvement in
financial affair abroad, and the pros.
pect of continued outgo of gold for
some time to come has not altered.
Speculative markets show compare
lively less activity. Stocks have fallen
off to some extent from the rapid re-
cOvery of last week, the average being
about 81 per share lower than week
ago.
Wheat and corn are both at the
same prizes as a week ago, although
Western receipts of wheat in four
days have been 1902, 10 bushels and
Atlantic eXorts 1,096, 597 bushels, and
corn receipts have been very large
with insignificant exports.
Mess pork rs cents higher, but
other hog products are shade lower.
Coffee advanced 1-2c, oil declined 1c.
A natural decline is seen in daily pro-
ducts and potatoes. Cotton is also
1.Sc lower, although receipts are
smaller and exports larger than for
the same week last year, but the
enormous stocks in sight are not di-
minishing more rapidly than usual at
this season. Chicago reports improve.
ment, though collections are still
slow and bank accommodations
sparing. st. Louis, fair collections,
though southern planters are buying
less meats than usual. Bankers are
extremely conservative and much
money has gone out to other western
cities. At Omaha trade is good; at
Denver, quiet. Business at Nashville
is improving, also at Savannah, but
at other points at the South business
quiet, and at nearly all, collections
are slow and money close. Mobile re.
ports large shipments of early vege-
tables ard New Orleans has bright
outlook in building trades though the
breaking of the levees will seriously
affect Northern Louisiana.
Dress geeds are-dull- but there is
closer discrimination than usual in
favor of choice styles. Cottons are
stronger, print cloths a sixteenth
higher.
Wool sales small, prices favoring
buyers.
Business failures for the last seven
days were 273 compared with 251 last
week. Corresponding week OF last
year the figures were 1913.

A Very Faint Resemblance.

An Austin female vocalist, who is al
ways fishing for compliments, asked
old Col. Ierger if he heard Jenny Lind
sing when she was in this country.
Yes, | was personally acquainted
with her"
Now, Colonel. tell me candidly, don't
You think me and Jenny resemble each
other just a little?'
There was an awkward pause, and
finally the old man said:
Yes, [ think ] do perceive some lit
tie resemblance"
"You mean her voice was little like
mine"
90 no, not in the least; but you re-
semhle each other very much about the
ears"
You mean we have both fine ears for

How to Bottle Ants for Cooking.

In 1878, after a series of careful ex-
periments, a scientific orderly in at
tendance upon Maj Price, at Fort Win
gate, n. NJ, devised a scheme which
at once came into popular favor, and is
used in the Territory at the present
day. He borrowed several large and
empty bottles from the hospital stew
ard. and buried them vertically In the
very center of the nest, with their
mouths flush with the ground. The
excited ants. who had poured ont by
thousands while their haunt was being
unrOofed, proceeded to investigate the
three curious holes with smooth sides
now in the center of their disturbed
home. One inquisitive young ant went
down to find ont what was at the bot
tom of the singular pit. He did not re-
turn. A committee followed. Nothing
was heard from them. Then the imme-
date relatives of these insects dropped
in. Then more ants. Finally the whole
colony was moved to inquiry, and the
rush into the bottles was tremendous
until the last ant had disappeared over
the rim and desolatiCn reigned. Then
the scientific orderly limped out Of the
uoSplibl iIl'i HlltdTtiltCt lhS bobtltS. ~
more general or enthusiastic free fight
could scarcely be imagined than was GO
ing on in those CLASSY jails, each ant
chewing satisfaction out of his neigh
boris hind legs for having decoyed him
in, until the entire community was in
voIved in mayhem. Then the orderly
built bonfire and committed three
quarts of inseparable belligerents to
perdition, and thence after dozed in
peace.-NeW York Times.

HEAT HURTS THE FAIR.
The High Temperature Causes Falling Off
In the Attendance.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, H.,
July l5.-The progressively warm wealth
er is beginning to tell on the attend
ance at the Worlds Fair. The wisdom
displayed in locating the fair on
the lake front is fully appre-
ciatcd now and slight breeze
is always noticeable, but still walking is
practically impossible in the intense
heat, and the Sedan and wheel chairs
seem luxuries financially beyond the
reach of the multitude.
The search of the ruins of the cold
storage building still continues and
workmen are now engaged removing
the heavy machinery in and tearing
down the charred framework of the
structure. The odor from the debris is
almost uncomfortable, despite the large
quantities of disinfectants that have
been sprinkled over the scene.
A large crowd assembled in front OF
government plaza this morning to wit
ness the opening of the contest between
the various species of homing pigeons.
vt a given signal 200 pigeons were re-
leased and the result of the competitive
fight will be awaited with great interest
by hundreds of enthusiasts. The 200
pigeons released were selected with
great care from 1000 of the finest birds

PeCuliaritieS of statesmen.

The pecuIarity of speech, of manner
or of looks has often been the making
of public man. Geo. Washington's
handsome figure did much for him
Henry Of Navarre's white plume has
caused him to he remembered more even
than his valor. John Randolph's
squeaking voice first attracted attention
to him. Martin Van Buren's gold snuff
box was the instrument of working him
into influence. Gen. Jackson's habit
of violent swearing gave him all the
reputation lie had. Gen. Harrison re-
ceiyed the Presidency by living in log
cabin. Thomas II. Benton made his
reputation 10y swearing at paper money
James Buchanan's good looks kept him
in public life half a century, and finally
made him President. Abraham Lin
coins rail-splitting experience did much
to originally raise him to the Presiden-
cy. Allen G.. Thurman made national
reputation by his use of red bandana
handkerchief Tom Ochiltree has made
a wide reputation by lying.

Fattening Horses.

The fattening Of horses for market
has grown to he quite a business in
some places in the United States. and
notably so in a few counties in Western
Pennsylvania. Horses are prepared for
sale with as much care as the finest
beeves. the horsepower making it a
point to have his produce in the best
possible condition for the buyer This
has proved to be an excellent business,
and the feeding off has no little to do
with its success. See that your horses
have tirst-class form and condition. as
well as good blood, and when the sale
returns are received YOU will find your
self well repaid for your pains.

They went into Lady Grisels room

the immensely of the grade that was

Its success is attributed in part to the
fact that the road traVer=cs one of the
