There are 'geysers" there that squirt fire.
quently, "geysers" that squirt only oc-
casionslly, and "geysers," alas, that are
so week that they cannot even squirt back
the water that is pumped into them.
This miniature wonderland, the Stock
Exchange Board, can be seen In active
operation every legal working day.
"Sugar" represents "Old Faithful" not
because 1t spurts with such regularity.
but because it spurts oftener than any Of
the others.
The "elrangers" are the "Occasionals"
and Cordage represents the geyser that
receives, but never gives back.
The recent oversubscription to the hus-
sian loan shows that capital Is still seek
Ing safe employment and it Is withheld
from US simply because tinkering with
our monetary system frightens 1t away.
We do not look for much advance be-
fore the end Of the year. The Christmas
holidays, the general disposition to even
things up and start anew with the incom-
ing year will, we believe, cause squiet and
perhaps a dropping market for the COM
ing week.
The wheat market shows the usual holi-
day apathy. among both shippers and
spectators, but there are q good many
long headed investors who think that the
visible supply outranks the invisible
supply. and that the whole stock Is in the
show window ticketed "at fire sale prices" I"
The interior movement in cotton con-
tinues to be very large, and the free sell
ing by holders assisted by the bears
necessarily causes q gradual decline, but
we are inclined TO think that the market
Is about grinding on bottom now, and at
this very low price of spot cotton it is
much cheaper to buy futures than to carry
the actual spot and pay the price of inter-
est, Insurance. and storage.

Shakespeare certainly know of the r:is-

writer's Of his day Among the many
legends told this has no tragic feature.
A prince is the hero, and he got sepa-
rated from his friends while hunting.
He wandered about for long period
and finally discovered humble cottage.
Here he took shelter for time and fell
in love with the occupants lovely
daughter. His identity was not suspect
ed, and owing to his shabby appearance
resulting from his long wandering he
was regarded as an undesirable suitor
and was surimarily elected Broken
hearted, he again resumed his apparent
ly endless journey and ut night slept
under an oal. tree. There good fairy
told him that twig of mistletoe would
reconcile the iratc parent to the match,
but il must BIO gathered from n hollow
oak tree growing by tho side of stream
opposite a peculiarly dwarfed weeping
willow.
In the morning he was preparing to
search for the tree, bat found, to his de-
light, that it was evidently the one he
had been sleeping under. Climbing to
the topmost branches, he found tho mis-
tletoe, tore it off and descended the tree
in triumph. He found the cottage with
out difficulty, presented his peace offer

lady, with whom no returned TO tho

little (Rep. Wash.), TO grant American
registry to the barks Linds, of North
Carolina, and Archer, OF Washington; the

A Bcfore-Christmas Incident.

A laughable occurrence happened in the
Arcade this afternoon, although 1t
might have resulted seriously.
The indoor street was crowded with
Christmas shoppers, who included man
with n "game" leg and n cane and n
woman with baby carriage.
Right in the middle of the Arcade laid
an nsignificant-looking piece OF orange
peel, with the roller side down.
The man slipped on the peel
and I'm his efforts to re-
tain his equilibrium thrust his cane
through one of the wheels of the baby
carriage, which happened to be in iuxta-
position. This almost upset the baby and
caused a blockade.
The woman with the baby carriage ex-
postulated about men with game legs
trying to worry through such
crowd and the man with
the q. J. wanted TO know "what In
thunder baby carriages are allowed In the
Arcade for, anyway" And the orange
peel went on by itself to have q good
laugh.

a bill providing for the establishment of
an assay Office in Chicago.

been transacted the holiday adjournment
resolution was formally laid before
the Senate, and Mr.. Cockrell
(Dem., Mo..) said it was perfect
ly manifest to those familiar with the

similar condition OF affairs would exist in
the House.
He had never asked tho Senate to do

any comfort to have the Senate adjourn
for the time proposed.
In view, however, OF the existing con-
ditions he asked unanimous consent that
she resolution be now considered. Mr..
George, (Dem. Miss.) however, objected.
For the purpose OF bringing the matter
before the Senate Mr.. Manderson (Rep.,
