expectation that something would hap
pen to disturb the peaceful relations
of the European powers were diSap-
pointed and sold out at the opening

WHERE WILLIE WENT.
Walnutting While Wintry Wiscon-
sin Winds Waited Wildly.

Youths Companion: Wisconsin's wild
winds were whistling when Willie
Wade went walnuftinS. Warmly
wrapped was Willie. with woolIen
wrapper, wadded waistcoat, with arm
wristlets.
Winnie Wade wondered why Willie
wouldn't wait until warmer weather
when Winnie would walnut with VIII
lie
Willie wandered where Walter West
was wheeling wood with a wonderful
wheelbarrOw, wishing Walter would
walnut.
Without wasting words Walter
whistled ''Whewl Walnuts will wait,
while wood won't"
Where walnut woods were, wOOdmen
were working with wabbly wheeled
wagon, with worn. weary, wretched
work-horse, which was well worn out
with work
Woodman Wheeler waggishly
wrenched Willie's WATERFALL. where
uDOn water wet Willie's winkers; VIII
lie wept wOfully-
Woodman was worried: Why weep
Willie? Weak women weep with wee
woes. Whistle Willie
When winkers were wiped WoOdman
Wheeler went with Willie where wal
nuts were. Willie's wooden WATERFALL
was well filed, While wee WrenS WarD-
led. woOd-pigeOns whizzed.
Willie warily watched while Wood
man waged war with wasps-which
wasn't wise. WaSpS were waxing
warmer, whereupOn Willie. with water
nail went where Widow Walman,
Winnie's washerwoman, was, who well
washed woollens with warm water
with washing-machine wringing with
wringer.
Willie went within washroom. where
Widow Walman welcomed Willie with
warm wheat waffies. with wholesome
whortleberries washed well with water.
When we'll warmed, Willie wandered
where water was, willows waved;
where, when weather was warmer,
white. waxen waterlilies were wit
messed.
Willie waded where webfooted water
Winnie. with well-filled WATERFALL, was
witnessed.
Winnie warmly welcomed Willie.
When woods whiten with winter,
when windows wear wonderful white

The general trend of the stock mar
ket at the present time is in the di-
rection of dividend-payings shares or in
properties that are now on a shipping
basis or that have ore in sight in suf-
ficient quantities to justify the belief
that they will soon enter the list as
regular producers.
AS these classes of securities are
largely confined TO the listed stocks,
it was the natural sequence that these
shares were the most active during
the call of the exchange yesterday,
and the major portion OF the transfers
of the day were in these.
Anchor for the past week has been
stationary but firm, at 80 cents bid
and $1-3O asked. Bullion Beck was in
good demand. but as a dollar stood be-
tween the buyer and seller, no sales
were recorded. The Park City pro-
ducerS were all very strong yesterday
and attracted more than usual atten-
ton. DAILY was especially active and
chronicled advances as well as sales.
DAILY w 81 was also a favorite and
drew out considerable inquiry, and at
the close had recorded gains. Dalton
& Lark was wanted at 1715 cents, but
vi lie SlIttNS DlQS Ol II were freely
made. Galena experienced a slight de-
cline IN the bidding. but in the offer
ingS the stock was firm at the former
quotations. Geyser held its own in
good shape and a block of this stock
changed hands at good figures. For
some reason Mercur was weak and
slumpy, and an effort was made TO
force large blocks of the stock on the
market, but unsuccessfully. But little
interest was taken in Mammoth,
which, although strong in the hold
1ngs, fell off in the bidding Ontario
continued its upward movement and
closed strong at S10.25 bid with no
sellers in the pit Sunshine developed
an upward tendency in the bidding.
but in the offerings it was practically
unchanged. Utah was inactive.
The unlisted stocks. while slow as to
sales. were held right up to former
quotations in the bidding. with very
few exceptions Swansea, which is
touching low water mark again in the
demand for the stock. is firmly held in
the nelghborhood of 81 But slight
changes were noted in South Swansea.
which is mere than likely to hold its
own from this time on. Dalton and
Richmond & Anaconda were the only
active stocks among the unlisted Sc
curities, but sales in these were at fig
eres that have been quoted for The
past few days. Golden Star and GiDsv
queen were called for the first time |
for several months, but neither Of !
these caused any undue excitement IN |
the pit, although the former is a pro- |
Queer of high grade gold ore and is /
considered as one of the most promis- |
ing propositions in Gold Mountain dis |

The transactions of the day were as
follows:

And 90 where I ask you to wander.

The lreamand that's waiting out yon-

Wen walk in a sweet-pcsie garden out
there
Where moonlight and starlight are
streaming,
And the flowers and the birds are filing
the air
With the fragrance and music of dream
ing.
There'l be no little, tired-out boy to un-
dress.
No questions or cares to perpex you:
Therell be no bruises or bumps tom
caresS,
Nor patching of stockings to vex YOU
For I'll rock you away on the silver-oeW
stream
And sing you asleep when you're weary.
And no one shall know of our beautiful
dream
But you and your own little deare.
And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that soothed me SO often,
And the wide-awake stars shall sing in
my stead
A song which my dreaming shall soften.
So, Mother -My-Love, let me take your
dear hand
And away through the starlight wei!
wander
Away through the mist to the beautiful!
