MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York, Nov. 5.--Today's stock
market was comparatively tame
affair when contrasted with the eXcep-
tional activity and wide Quotations OF
yesterday. The transactions aggregated
only 3S3,217 shares. Taken altogether
the tendency was toward lower range
of values 81 the fact that several
stocks displayed great strength at in
tervals they did not prevent almost
the entire list from closing under last
nights final quotations. The most for
midable attack of the day was made
soon after delivery hour when rumors
gained currency in the stock exchange
that there was some doubt about the
electoral vote of Indiana and Kentucky
and that Consul General Lee had made
a report to the president concerning
the Cuban situation which would be
followed by a warlike policy on the
part of the administration. Whether
true or false these stories exercised an
adverse influence and the market
yielded under pressure to sell for both
long and short accounts. Sugar broke
over five points to 1l6ss. 1t finally
rallied to ll73s. In the earlier trad
ing Tobacco had jumped from 19B to
S4 on the announcement that the di-
rectors had declared a cash dividend
of per cent. on the common stock
The stock afterwards broke to 19.
Chicago Gas for a time was another
strong feature. 1t rose from Is to IT'S
on statements which We're believed to
emanate from trustworthy sources that
the directors would resume dividends
either this week or next. The stock
finally receded to 755s@16. In the af-
ternoon prices showed declines from
last nights closing of n to per cent.
in the general run of stocks. Manhat-
tan was an exception, rising to 9IA.
The market closed weak at Il recovery
from the lowest of Il to l per cent.
The net changes show losses of l@4 per
cent.

A LITTLE BOOK.

picked It out among the lot
OF scattered books upon the stand;
Half-worn, untreasured and forgot
Something impelled, I knew not what,
As their the dusty titles scanned
To pick 1t out among the lot
OF books for sale at secondhand.
Love Poems" were the only words,
In faded gilt upon the cover;
The same sweet songs our mothers read
OF skies and flowers and lifting birds
II was 4 nice discover
To read the lyrics that had stirred
The real old-fashioned lover.
Oidfashioned!'-that had slipped my
pen;
Forgive the word I've written.
Lovers today are much as then,
Madens are maidens. men are men,
And girls hearts will be smitten
While love shall last: and. again,
Why-lovers get the mitten.
Whose was the book? No name appears
Upon the stained iiy-leaf
Here Is a mark, there sttins OF tears
And here a corner turned "dog-ears"-
That is all: a little sheaf
OF lovers verse Of other years,
Like seaweed on the counters reef.

MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller. on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
OF large red freckles and first-rate health.
Singing. she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from
town,
Upon the hill-slope. coasting down,
The sweet song died. and vague unrest
And u sort OF terror filled her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what II her wheel should strike u
stone!
The Judge seorched swiftly down the
Just then she heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
or the apple trees, to await the maid.
And he asked her if she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, Us he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly jump.
And in less than Il jiffy produced her
pump.
And she blushed as she gave it. looking
down
At her feet, once hid by trailing gown.
Then said the Judge. as he pumped away,
"'Tis, very line weather were having to-
day.
He spoke Of the grass and flowers and
OF twenty mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her bloomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed. alack- day!
The Judge remounted and rode away.
"My father should have a brand-new
OF the costliest make and the finest steel.
"And I'd give one to ma of the same de-
sign,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine.'
The Judge looked back, as he climbed
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"a prettier face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed at, declare!
would she were mine, and today
Could make her put those bloomers
away"'
But he he,t thought of his sisters, proud and
And he shuddered to think how they
would scOld
If he should, one of these afternoons,
Come down with bride in pantaloons!
He married n wife Of richest dover,
Who had never succumbed to the bloom
ers' power;
Yet, oft while watching the smoke
wreathS curl,
He thought Of that freckled bloomer girl:
OF the way she stood there, pigeon toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married n man who clerked in stor, e
And then her bloomersN brought her Joy!
She cut them down for her Oldest boy.
But still Of the Judge she often thought.
And sighed DER the loss that her bloom
ers wrought,
Or wondered il wearing them was sin.
And then confessed: ut might have
been"
Alas for the Judge! Alas for maid.
Dreams were their only stock in trade.
For of all wise words of tongue or pen.
The wisest are these: Leave pants for
men,"
All. well! For us all hope still remains
For the bloomer girl and the man Of
brains,
And, In the hereafter, boomers may
Be not allowed to block the way!
