The reInarka ble bull movement has COM
nenced to boom forward gain, apparent
ly. Yesterdays speculation was excited
and yet strong, with very little reaction
or any kind and some remarkable forward
movements. The general developments all
continue TO be favora Bile, and it seems
probable that the strong leaders OF the
market have all more OF less simulta
neously decided on another squirt. There
IS very little to keep this squirt back. Rail
road earnings continue to grow, the feel
ing in business circles is sangline and,
though expert authorities still pronounce
corn from two to three weeks late, they
minimize the importance of this by point
ing to the immense amount of old corn in
the country. All these things have di-
rect force on the New York stock market.
The one unfavora ble factor is that Lon
don apparently cannot be convinced Of
the substantial nature of our boom. 1t
sent lower prices for Americans yesterday
and sold some stock here. Our market took
the foreign offerings easily, however, as
in the past, and continued to disregard the
critical attitude of London. Public buying
OF large volume was developed. and it, was
of an eager character, too.

Although the whole market had this Gen.
eral tendency, the great squirt in Sugar
almost wholly overshadOwed it. 1t fairly
eclipsed anything else by the vigor and
and sudden nature of its rise. The stock
has been rather neglected of late, but
was taken in hand yesterday by some
manipuiative interest and scored one of
its old time rises, going to 157. Nearly
every shrewd observer of the market was
convirced that this Would come, though
when, few were willing to predict. 1t
was thought at one time that the rise
TO 155 or better would come last week,
and it was predicted, when it did not,
that this week would show the advance.

was half inclined to omit the
courtesy due a brother preacher,
of asking him to deliver a SER
mon, If he inquired of the stra-
niger as to his name, he failed to
catch it, and had no definate idea
to whom he was speaking. His
request for the stranger to preach
was therefore expressed in the
most formal and constrained
manner, The stranger readily
agreed to fill the pulpit; and the
pastors chagrin was evident as
he resigned himself to his fate.
The visitor commenced in a
low and deliberate tone, but
warmed as he proceeded, and
preached a most powerful sermon
and everybody in the audience
whispered to his neighbor "Who
is hep"
Before he had taken his seat
the pastor had him by the hand.
''What did you say your name
was?"
Simpson" was the reply.
"What! Not the bishop"
said the startled preacher.
"That IS what they call me,

The minister instantly sprang
to his feet and shouted.

NO REST FOR THE MOTHER.

There has been a good deal
written about mothers-their
goodness, their patience and their
influence" writes Mary Stetson
in the Ladies Home Companion,
Perhaps it would be good plan
to write few lines about how to
keep the mother longer out of
heaven and longer in the house.
To the ordinary mothers-no,
there are no ordinary mothers;
they are extraordinary in their
particular homes-holidays come
rarely. Mary has a party, and
mother makes a cake. Tom goes
fishing, and she puts up the
lunch, Even the husband takes
a day off, but the kitchen fire is
kept burning, 1t is the mother
who "stays by the stuff and in
hot weather she is much like
Casibianea on the burning deck,
no one comes to the rescue.
"Now, young people, you love
your mothers. You are only
thoughtless, You have so long
lived in the light of a mothers
smile that you have not thought
it could grow dim and flicker and
60 out forever for you, She has
made every one so comfortable
80 many years with the ministra-
tons of her deft hands, that ap-
parently there has been no need
of any outside help,
'Let US take a look at those
handsl The wedding ring is
worn thin; it slips about on her
finger, ! think the finger must
have been quite white and soft
when it was first put on. What
makes those joints so large?
They came so gradually, not in a
day, but after many whole days,
whole years of hard labor. She
did not think about her hands or
try to save them, or feel sad
about their looks. 1t was always
her husbands, or Mary's or
Toms comfort she was thinking
about, 1t seems to me, as she
turns to 60 out Of the room, that
she's round shouldered and
bends over, | think when she
was a bride she was tall and
straight, | wonder what would
happen if you young people
would all look at your mothers
with seeing eyes as we have
looked at the mother of Mary
and Tom, If you rub them a
little with the oil of love and un-
sellishness, perhaps you would
see even more than have sug-
gested,
"See that your mother takes a
needed rest before she is called
to hec long, last one, 1t may add
years to her life, Try il the
combined effort Of the family in
some little sacrifice will not put
it in her power TO go away on a
visit for a month, If you can't
work it will be a good time to
learn, II you miss her a good
deal, you will begin to appre-

for you has been, 1t will be bet
