A father was lccturing his son on
the evil OF staying out late at night
and rising late in the morning.
"You will never succeed unless you
mend your ways. Remember the early
bird catches the worm" he said.
"And what about the worm, father?
Wasn't he rather foolish to get up so
early?" replied the young man sn eer-
ingly.
''My son, that worm had not been
to bed at all; he was only just getting
home"
The young man coughed.

him also unassailable BIZ the disease.

On the money question he said: SIT is
the purpose, undoubtedly, of this ad-

and treasury notes and perfect sys-
tenn by which the national banks will
be authorized to issue all paper
money. Their next move will be to
retire silver, and then bank notes will
not be legal tender What will be the
result? The administration will have
succeeded in making gold the only
money by which debts can be paid.

vival OF Busi ness.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-Bradstreets
says:
Evidences of widespread revival in
demand for merchandise and other
products have become SO numerous as
to compel general recognition. The
press has, therefore, ceased discussing
whether trade has really improved or
not. and has begun measuring the vol
ume of business compared with pre-
ceding periods
"A buoyancy of feeling has ap-
peared among buyers and sellers at
New York, Baltimore, Chicago, ST
Louis and Kansas City, where interior
merchants have thronged this week,
the like of which has not been seen
for several years. Interior merchants
are buying dry goods, clothing, shoes,
groceries and fancy articles, far more
freely than at any time since 1892.
Crop conditions have improved at
the, South and Southwest, and 1ner-
chants there are more encouraged.
Southern lu mber mills are not able to
keep up with orders. and innumerable
small consumers of iron and steel
throughout Central Western states
are buying raw material as they have
not for years.
Wheat scored an advance of 7
cents on continued big exports and a
tendency to decrease estimates of the
size of the domestic crop Wool is
higher on speculative holding, and
cotton yarns have advanced again.
Hides and Southern lnmber are up, as
are wheat. flour, Indian corn and oats,
and last, but not least, print cloths,
the market for which has been so long
depressed Prices for sugar, coffee,
lard and petroleum remain unchanged
while pork is almost the only import
ant product quoted lower than last
week.
