THE BOY OF THE HOUSE.

He was a boy OF the house. you know.
jolly and rollcking lad.
lie was never tired, and never sick.
And nothing could make him sad.
III he started to play at sunrise
Not rest would he take at noon;
No day was so long from beginning to end
But his bedtime came too soon.
Did some one urge that he make less noise,
lie would say with a saucy grin:
r'Why. one boy alone doesn't make much

s"There's two OF twins-o. It must be fun
To go double az everything;
TO holler by twos. and run by twos,
To whistle By twos, and to sing'
His laugh was something to make you glad.
SO brimful was Il Of JOY.
"A conscience he had, perhaps, In his breast,
But 1t never troubled the boy.
You met him out In the garden path,
with the terrier at his heels;
You knew by the shout he hailed you with
How happy youngster feels.

She said, with a shrug and sigh.
HIS father owned that her words were true
And hls mother declared each day
Was putting wrinkles into her face,
And was turning her brown hair gray

''The way he ignored all rules she sald,
was something beyond belief
But Il never troubled the hey OF the house.

And had only one regret I'm the world

There's nobody making a noise to-day.
There's nobody stamping the floor.
There's an awful silence, upstairs and

There's crepe on the wide hall door
The terriers whining out in the sun
where's my comrade?' he seems TO
Turn your plaintive eyes away little
dog,
There's no frolic for you to-day.
The freckle-faced girl from the house
next door
Is sobblng her young heart out,
Don't cry, little girl youll soon forget
To miss the laugh and the shout.
The grown-up sister Is kissing his face,
And calling him darling and sweet"
The maiden aunt IS holding the shoes
That he wore on his restless feeet.
How strangely quiet the little form.
With the hands on the bosom crossed!
Not n fold, not n flower out Of place,
Not short curl rumpled and tossed
So solemn and still the big house seems
No laughter, no racket. no din,
No startling Shrek. no voice piping out:
I'm sorry / isn't a TWIN

AS the wearisome moments creep;

APPETITE VS.. THEORY.
Hungry nations VIII Huy Our Food
Regardless of Tariffs.

There is downright cruelty dis
played toward time-honored and battle
SCARED free trade theories In the eX-
port statistics for the month OF Deem
Der. One of the stock arguments in be-
half of the Wilson law was the conten-
ton that by encouraging imports 1t
stimulated exports Of domestic produce,
and one OF the chief charges against
the Dingley law was the assertion that
Il would destroy our export trade.
Now come the hard and fast facts
In the shape of treasury statistics, and
simply annihilate the ancient argument
that a protective tariff is death TO the
foreign trade. more particularly the ex-
port trade. The figures for December
show total export Of provisions, IN
GLIDING cattle and hogs, amounting in
value 10 sl7,045,724, against S14, los
for December OF 1896. The same big
increase in al exports OF foodstuffs was
visible as follows.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT.
Bright Prospects for 1893 as Seen
by q Leading Business Man.
President Coombs. of the Manufac-
turers' Trust. Considers the Pres
ent Outlook More Favorable
Than That of a Year Ago.

I'm talking of the general business
outlook, President William j. Coombs,
OF the Manufacturers Trust company,
expressed his satisfaction at the inn
proved conditions which now exist,
compared with those which presented
themselves at the beginning Of 1897.
Mr.. Coombs said:
Last years business, although APP
parently slow. has, upon the whole,
been very satisfactory, and better con-
ditions have prevailed in many lines.
For 1898 the outlook, in my estimation,
is much more favorable than was that
upon the 1st OF January Of last year
There seems 10 be a stronger con-
fidence among the people in the
possibility Of at least some legis-
lation that will remove the errors in
our financial system, and that would
certainly have generally beneficial ef-
feet. In the present year there may not
be such large returns from the crops as
our farmers obtained in the past year
But reports of a larger wheat produc-
ton elsewhere than that of the year
previous are partially Offset by the un-
favorable yield in Aus;ralia's grain pro
ductiou.
IL look for more active money mar
ket this year than we had in 1897, and
although il is contrary TO the general
impression which prevails among bank
ing men, / believe that we shall have
average higher rates for money.

Harvard PLAYS
Tufts Team.
WORK WAS RAGGED


Cambride, Nov. 2.-The Harvard
varsity eleven had secret practice again
this afternoon on Soldiers field. The
eleven played one half Of eight min
utes against the Tufts college team.
and another and longer half against the
second eleven. On the whole the play
ing was inferior to that Of yesterday, all
the men being slow and the team being
frequently penalized for offside play
and holding. Against Tufts the varsity
played almost wholly on the offensive,
and Kendall scored after one minute
of play. The work, however, Of the
backs was ragged, and the line men
seemed to help out better in interfer-
ence than those behind. In the second
half. which lasted 30 minutes, Boal and
Brayton both scored, but Heard, of the
second eleven, made a dashing thirty
yard run for a touchdown after 20
minutes of play. Ten or a dozen coach
es were on the field and used every en-
deaVor to get some snap into the var
sity but they We're only fairly success
full.

EXCHANGE.
Uneasiness Caused BY Hostile
Preparations in Chinese Waters.
Movement of Securities Shows the Pro-
gress Of important Diplomatic Changes.

New York, Nov 1.-The news received
by the Associated Press detailing the
hostile preparations Of the British and
Russian fleets ii. Chinese waters goes
far to explain the recent uneasiness
manifested on the London. exchange, in
spite of the apparent subsistence Of the
Anglo-French controversy.
The movement Of securities unde-
niaby shows the progress Of important
diplomatic movements amongst the old
world powers. carrying with them the
threat of open rupture.
There was a sharp fall in consols and
a strong market in Liverpool for wheat
which only yielded on the failure of the
American markets to respond fully be-
cause of the large receipts at primary
points and the Liquidation of large spec
ulatiye lines in Chicago.
The persistent demand for export
however, worked rally in the Ameri-
can grain market before the close.
The selling of securities for London
account in the New York market was
a feature of the day and the interna-
tional stocks, especially Norfolk and
Western preferred, Denver and Rio
Grande preferred and Kansas q Texas
preferred are the heaviest losers
amongst the railroad stocks. Aside from
this there was a general tendancy to
stand by and watch the fireworks
amongst the industrial specialties al
lowing the market to lapse into the
proverbial prediction dullness.
The professional traders naturally
turned to the short side in such a mar
ket, but bear tactics were not aggress-
i've.

yersed, the first named showing

tions of coming favorable developments

utes Of trading and fluctuated feyerish-
ly for the rest of the day between that

lated the movement. The industrious
