steamboating ON the Missouri.

AS the railroads of the present day con
test for supremacy in speed and good serv-
Ice so did the steamboats, OF 20 and 40 years
ago struggle for position in the public eye
The point in contest was always that of
speed. In those days trade on the Missouri
was prosperous. At least 100 boats ascend
ed the stream every season before July,
many of them going as far as Fort Benton
in Montana. A boat that made this trip
and returned to St. Louis in two months
without profit Of S15, 1000 did a poor bust
ness Those were the days when freight
was freight. No competing vessel cut the
rates, The boats ran independently, and
when one captain fixed the tariff there was
no other boat to be found that would offer
cheaper transportation. - Detroit Free

Saturday, April 30, is the day marked
in all ancient calendars as being the one
on which Noah and his family quilted
the ark after having withstood the siege
of the great deluge. The day is marked
in all ancient calendars, especially Brit
ish, as egressus Noae de area the 18th
of March, the day upon which Noah, his
family and their great floating collec-
ton of natural history specimens set
sail, being designated in the same class
of early printed literature as introitus
Noee in area, the day of Noah's en-
trance into the ark Why these days
were chosen as the ones upon which the
supposed embarkation and debarltation
were made are enigmas which the an
tiquarians have not yet solved. st.

Brazilian niggers used to come rowing out

that could speak English, and one day he
asked me did | want some cells He said
he could get me some good ones, and |
made a trade with him to bring me big

This glittering sword, this same bright blade
A glorious part In history played.
See, there half effaced Is the British crown,
And the hilt is ablaze with jewels gay.
My grandfather found 1t in Boston town
Just after the British had sailed away
When Washington was our general.
And then for years, tradition sings,
1t helped 10 sever the apron strings
Which bound us to England across the seas;
1t served TO make real hope forlorn;
II fought for the thirteen colonies,
And then in proud salute was borne
When Washington was our president.
This glittering sword, this same bright blade,
In a case for a hundred years was laid.
1t made all titles transparent seem
In the land where men are equal and free
Forever-but wait now, faint as a dream,
A face and form fair and lovely see.

1t was in the Kansas legislature Of 1891
that Speaker Elder had trouble with the
Alliance chaplain. This individual always
opened the work of lawmaking with

One particular morning he had fallen

begin business in a hurry, but the chaplain
could not be found.

"What shall do for my love?

And around her for hours?
"What shall do for my dear1

"What shall do for my queenH
Set sail to my bark?
Bear her away from the scene
Ger the pillows so dark
"What shall do for my sweet2

Her lover sang thusly; but she
Interrupted his dreams
And whispered, Just purchase for me

q heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so!
What we've missed of calm we couldn't
Have you know.
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again
If ii blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With his own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

of Terence Grogan, who was the unenvied

He confessed TO me that he had never been
able TO eat all he craved, although he had
often eaten until he could swallow no

The salt food obtained aboard ship had
proved anything but satisfactory to him,

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The share spec
ulation today was unsettled and the
movement of prices Irregular. At the
opening generally firm tone prevailed.
Inc trading, however, was very light.
Early in the day it was announced that
the original plan Of settlement with the
creditors Of the National Cordage COM
paDy had been changed SO that they
will now receive only Is per cent in
cash instead of % per cent. the other 10
per cent being payable i'll 10 per cent
guaranteed stock. This change of plan
induced sales of the stock. which
caused decline of ~, with a
recovery of = per cent. The pre-
ferred stock broke s per cent without
any recovery. New Eng land opened
q down, but quickly rallied TX per
cent, losing the entire Improvement in
the afternoon and recovering u per
cent at the close. A committee com
posed of President John |. Waterbury.

organize the company, and these gentle-

belief that Chicago. resuming business
after its holiday. would be a heavy
seller of stocks today. This belief was
not by any means ill-grounded, but it
proved to be mistaken. There were no
FAILURES this morning in the Chicago
wheat trade. Wheat itself sold at
steadier prices, and there was no stock
liquidation for the Western account
The Granger stocks did not, indeed, re-
cover today for more than moment,
aud their subsequent dropping ten
dency was marked by heavy local sales
of ST. Paul and Burlington Neyerthe-
less, the decline in prices was relatively
trit1ing, and it had little sympathetic in

tremely bad developments, is a phe-
