has been manipulating the stock of the
DiSiilling and Cattle Feeding company
had decided To wind up its affairs aud dis

knocking the price down . points. 1t
closed, however, within two points of
the opening figure, 5ul !,
j. b. Greenhut. resident of The Dis
tilling aud Cattle ffsliug company said:
t"lhe rumor that we lse going to issne new
stock is absolutely false. Ne such issue
has ever lcen contemplated Thu. the pool
has been dissolved though, Is II fact, This
action was decided upon AT "A meeting held
Sunday As n result all the stock left in
the pool at that time has eithpr been sold
or is now in the hands OF members who
are able TO carry it, and who would not
think OF selling it AT the present ridieal-
onsiy low price.
81 think that the pool has done more in
jury than benefit 10 the stock. and thai it
wurld, without any manipulation, have
reached as high figure as ii has at any
time during the past few months, The
stock Is undoubtedly worth considerably
more than IL present market price ON its
merits : as the company was never ia better

'Do you know whore the use of the word
'Hand for courage originatedF asked
Thomas Fl. Wentworth OF crowd Of
philosophers at the Laclede. Neither do
!, for certain, but there are two explans-
tions that have interested me- One is that
based on the old expression among the boys
of sand In his cri,w' tcropl which, applied
to fowls or birds, indicated that they do
not hesitate to take what comes being
satisfied they can manage with plenty of
sand to help their gizzsrds and hence have
no apprehensions as to the future. The
other explanation Is the historical one you
have all heard Of, no doubt, which is said
to have occurred at the siege OF Toulon.
While constructing battery Napoleon
wanted some one to write "a letter for him,
and young Junot offered his services Just
as the letter was finished a cannon ball
struck near, covering the writer and his
letter with earth and dust. Quite for
tunate,' said he, we have plenty OF sand,'
referring to the common practice of drying
the ink on letter with sand. OF course
his promotion was sure and rapid. But
whethe: the incident gave rise to today's
common expression may be doubted. st.

great speakers he won his triumph by Il
victory over a physical defect Only by

that poured in one incessnnt torrent from
his lips was the marvel and the envy of his
brethren and the despair of stenogrtphers
Often he was called to enter pulpits, but

years later declined the assistant bishopric
of Pennsylvania, to which he was chosen

Some one has said that the best natured
body In the world liz an American crowd.
Those who have amy doubts about the truth
of this statement should make one of the
crowd that gathers In Newspaper row any
election night. Packed soiidly from School
and Milk streets to Court and state streets,
1t is as Independent a body Of humanity as
one cHn anywhere find The Darwinian
principle of 'the survival Of the fittest"
prevails as literally MS ono could wish
Every one is for himself, and he pushes,
jostles and talks to maintain his standing
place or to get n better one. Yet despite all
this every one is in the best of humor, laughs
as heartily Mt his own discontinue as at
that of the fellow at his elbow, and forgives
the man who treads ON his toes Those
who have ever had anything to do with a
French or German crowd will recognize the
difference between those transatlantic
gatherings and the American one.-Boston

LOVE THAT LoITERs.

They will bring their boarded kindness
When our ears are deaf to love;
When the grasses wavo above
And bewail their present blindness.
When We cannot heed regret
They will waste their shallow tears,
As II such could pay arrears
Or discharge the living debt.
They must know we shall not crave
Sunshine In yen grim retreat;
Gifts of life, however sweet,
Yet they keep them for the grave.
Though the grave has but despair,
And but hollow echoes wait
All who knock at that weird gate,
Still they pour their treasure there.
Let the snowy shaft aspire:
We shall never read the lie:
Grief uprears tho marble high,
But remorso can rear 1t higher.
They will come when we are dead,
When to love our lips are dumb;
Then our lagcard friends Will come
And strew flowers overhead.
