A Busy Week I'm Most Lines, with Few

INQUIRY shows that in most lines of trade that
OF the week ending Nov. 10 was one of the most
satisfactory of any since the improvement in
business became perceptible. The cooler weather
doubtless helped matters and the tendency to an
advance in several lines made retail merchants
more anxious to stock up ahead. Taking the
country over retail merchants are in better shape
financially and have the largest stocks of
goods at any time in some years past Retail
merchants report that the farmers have more
money. have paid their bills. which in some cases
were of long standing, and are now more liberal

New York Evening Sun.

The henrygeorge women have adopted a
YELL "Hooray, hoOrax for the single tax
This is their common, everyday YELL For
extraordinary occasions they use the fol-
lowing adaptation of Aristophanes famous
frog chorus, 'Brek-a-co-ax, the single tax"
Besides its classical associations this dress
up yell has the advantage of seeming to de-
fy Paddy Gleason. From the sonorous
standpoint the yell of the Low women is not
a yell at ALL 1t consists simply in long
drawn-out "Low-ow-Ow" The women
themselves admit that = doesn't amount to
yelling just lowing. 1t lay be surprise
to some to learn that Sorosis has yell.
This is as follows: 'Me-ow-ow''-only that
and nothing more. The Rainy Day Clubs
yell amounts to a regular lay. 1t, too, is an
adaptation. Rain, rain, go away; come
again another day, so can in long skirts
stay" Plainly the cry of the Professional
Woman's League is modelled upon that of
Cornell-'I yell, / yell, p w. L.' Some
one in commenting not long ago upon the
ways and means of womens clubs in gen.
eral remarked upon the fact that in spite
of their badge wearing and similar pro-
clivities they had not yet fallen prey to the
yell. This person was not posted. The yell
of the General Federation, by the way, is
as follows: Federation forever; concilia-
tiOn-nit."

The Murdered Trees.

I walk across the barren fields and weep.
In melancholy madness, for my trees,
The great potential trees that, rooted deep
In this brown soil, were priests and prophecies
To my walked youth, when. in their centuried
morn,
BY axe unscarred, untouched by red fire-blight
They cast long shadows where glad things were
born
TO life S perennial drama of delight
Complacent genii that through sun-kssed leaves
Smiled on the cabins children at their play
Trees, children, dreams! how outraged nature
grieyeS
Because they are not. Yet my steps delay.
And lingering recall the happy scene
Where they supremed it DER a world of green.

takably on its good behavior, it could moi
transform itself at once into another Bos
ton or Philadelphia. For the first time in
.he lives of many OF them, the Endeavor-
ers saw the odd thing called a "Con.
tinental Sunday" The churches were
open; the attendance there was
good; the presence of the guests OF
honor lent an added fervor to the serv.
ices. But the saloons were running at
full blast; three ball games were going on
and there were cricket, horse races, target
shooting and the usual Sabbath diver
sions of the gay. argonaut metropolis.
But as for crimes, scandals and sensa-
tions, they were conspicuous by their alb
sence.
1t is naively explained that while the
Endeavorers were on their way across the
continent, somebody in Southern Cali
fornia suggested that the San Francisco
press refrain from publishing accounts oi
tragedies and evil doing during the con-
vention. Thereupon the press went one
better and reported that the people
themselves refrain from crime; then there
would be nothing of the Kind to chronicle.
The public took the newspapers at their
word For one week, at least, San Fran
cisco has been model community.

Swallowed Diamonds.

Native workmen are employed in the
mines of Kimberley, South Africa. They
are closely guarded, carefully housed and
fed. and have a number of amusements
maintained for their especial benefit.
They are kept, therefore, from any great
temptation of stealing the precious stones,
but at times they resort to all sorts of
tricks to conceal the diamonds. Only
quite lately a compounded native was
suspected of having swallowed valuable
diamonds. The native was carefully
watched, and the result was that ten dia-
monds, Weighing $50 carats and valued at
S5450, were recovered by the officials.
On another occasion a convict was in
capacitated for work through leg dam
aged, as it was believed, while engaged in
breaking stones. The leg was carefully
bandaged and nursed by the convict him
self, but as there were no signs of improve
ment the doctor of the company was
called to examine the limb. To his utter
astonishment he found that the convict
had self-inficted deep cash in the calf Of
the leg, and upon probing the wound the
medico touched some hard substance i'm
bedded in the flesh. Further examination
brought to light parcel of beautiful dia-
monds tied up in rag. The wound has
not healed yet, and it is feared that the
native will be a cripple for life. This
shows what painful devices will be re-
sorted to in order to secure the precious
gems.-Philadelphia Record.

in some directions. Think of prayer
meetings in the fighting tops OF Unc e
Sans battle-ships! Well, on the Massa-
Chusetts, Indiana and Oregon the fighting
tops are the favorite retreats fo- little

have not yet provided chapels On men-of-

bu. naturally, for 1t appealed strongly to
the devoted few here and there among sea-
faring men. AS it took in size and shape
the work became an organized one, The
work Is now organized in twenty Amerl-
can ports, including San Francisco, San
Diego, Santa Barbara, Whatcom, Aber-
deem, Hoquiam, Tacoma, Eureka and
Portland on this coast, and in six
foreign ports. The organ cation is two
toId-the regular floating societies" on
land com posed largely OF Endeavorers in
terested IN this field of missionary work
and the societies on individual ships. The
latter are always small and through the
constant changes of sea life are generally
transient. There are societies on aboui
thirty vessels from battle-ships to sponge
fishing boats From the beginning about
5000 seafaring men have signed the pledge.
In the navy there are societies on the
Massachusetts,, Oregon, Indiana, Mime
apolis and Thetis. The organization of q
society on the Charleston on the high
seas in 1894 resulted in the Christian En-
deavor Sailors Home at Nagasaki. In the
merchant service are many little 'prayer
circles" and regular correspondence and
reports are kept up. Much has been done
among the fishing vessels of the Atlantic.
All naval vessels have chaplains, but
the chaplain is an "officer" and the sea-
men are only men, so there is gulf there
that cannot be bridged to establish genu-
Inc fellowship with the chaplain. The
Christian Endeavor societies accomplish
this, and when officers are members the
barriers of rank disappear in the meetings.

This work was organized accidentally,
and then lust growed." In May, 1890,
the United States revenue cutter Dexter
was at Woods HolI, Mass, near Fal-
mouth, and some Christian men on board
asked Miss Jones, an active Christian
Endeavor worker, for Christian pledge
of some form. Father Clark consented
that the Christian Endeavor pledge and
constitution be adapted to the needs OF
seafaring lie, and her adaptation was
adopted on the Dexter, on which socie y
of sixteen mem bers was formed, including g
the first lieutenant, now Captain Kilgore.

BOSTON, MASS. July 12.-The Journal
will say to- morrow editorially: San
Francisco has belied its reputation during
"Endeavor Week." Its newspapers unite
in declaring that throughout the visit OF
the hosts of young people with the
Christian Endeavor badge, 1t has been the
quietest, the most decorous and moral
city in the country.
The convention has made an impression
on San Francisco from its very size.
Never before have so many people been
assem- bled on the Pacific seaboard. Hotels,
boarding-houses, private dwellings. have
been crowded to their roof; but, though
this kind of visitation was unusual,
it has tesIifiad that policemen,
car conductors and other persons
whose callings brought them into close
contact with thron gs, and subjected them
to some inconvenience in the handling of
strangers, were patient and courteous
One or two local theaters. it is added
have allowed mild fun to be poked at the
Endeavorers, but that was only on the
score OF their frugality, and as they were
probably not there to hear it, no great
harm was done.
But though San Francisco was unmis-
