SOLDIER. on HORN BLOWER?

SOLDIER, OK iCltN BLOW Eltt
While Speaker Of the Senate William
r. Watson was acting as governor, ne
and his staff went to Atlanta to attend
the exposition. Among the members of
his staff ordered to mobilize in Will
mington was n down state man who
took great pride in his new regimen
tails. That is, the Wayfarer assumes
they were new, but there is no telling
for several of the governors staff pur-
chased regimentals of Governor Mar
Wis staff, but they were as good as
new, for they had been worn but once
or twice.
While the down-state soldier was
ON his way to the railroad station in
his native town a small boy accosted
him with the question:
Say, mister, where does the band
play at to-day?"
The question was an Innocent one, but
it weighed on his mind, and when he
reached Wilmington he recited the cir
cumstances to his brother officers, who,
on the trip to the Georgia capital, would
occasionally inquire
Say, mister. where does the band
play at today
1t became a standing joke.
While in Atlanta the governor and
his staff were domiciled in the Mark
ham Hotel On the day of their ar
rival they left the hotel and went TO
the exposition in body, being the re-
cipients of marked attention. During
the day the officer in question received
a typewriter letter offering him an
instrument in one of the bands playing
at the exposition.
Just before they reached the Audi
tarlum the Mexican band went out for
refreshments, but they left their in
struments i'm the bandstand. The
seats reserved for che Delaware dele
cation were in close proximity to the
bandstand but nothing was thought of
the fact until a small boy walked up,
and, as luck would have IL, addressed
the dOwn-state officer in the following
language:
Mister what time are you going
to begin to play some mOre?"
There was a burst OF laughter which
the boy could not appreciate.
Boys, yOn must excuse me, re-
marked the dOwn-state officer ] don't

gentlemen told you to ask me that

Nobody didn't tell me to ask YOU
nothing said the truthful boy.
The officer looked at him searchingly
for a second, saw that he was telling
the truth. and then, addressing tn,
other members of the staff, he said:

LIE HEAvENLY TwINs.

Some months ago the Homeopathic
Hospital in this city numbered among
it's inmates two youngsters OF about
the same age. One was a little white
founding named Grover and the other
a little cOlored boy named Joe. They
were known as The Heavenly Twins"
and were the pets Of the institution.
Grover was suffering with some incur
able disease, while Joe was there to
have an operation performed upon his
feet. which were fearfully deformed
The Heavenly Twins were shown
to all visitors, and appeared to delight
in the attention they received. In fact
It rather spoiled them. In the course
Of time, Joe was operated upon, and his
feet were Strengthened. After the
wounds had healed he was discharged
from the hospital. and is doubtless run

The Mystery of Sleep

There is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be overlooked
The sleep of human being, II one is
not too busy to attend to the matter
always evokeS a certain feeling OF ave-
Go into a room where person is Sleep
ing, and it is hard to resist the sense
that one is in the presence of the CEN
trail mystery of existence. People who
remember how constantly they see old
Jones sleep at the club library, will smile
at this: but look quietly and alone, at
even old Jones, and the sense of mystery
will soon develop. 1t is no use to say
that sleep is only moving" because it
looks like death. The person who is
breathing so loudly as to take away
all thought of death, causes the sense OF
awe quite as easily as the silent sleeper,
who hardly seems to breathe.
We see death seldom, but were 1t more
familiar we doubt if corpse would in
spire so much awe as the unconscious
and sleeping figure-a smiling irrespon-
sible doll of flesh and blood, but doll to
whom in a second may be recalled a
proud active. controlling conscious
ness which will ride his bodily and men
tai horse with a hand of iron, which will
force that body to endure toll and mis-
cry, and will make that mind, now wan
dering in paths of fantastic folly. grap-
pie with some great problem, or throw
all it's force into the ruling, the saving
or the destruction of mankind. The
corpse is only so much bone, muscle and
tissue. The sleeping body is the house
which a quick and eager master has only
left for ar hour or so. Let any one who
thinks sleep is no mystery, try to OBJ
serve in himself the process by which
sleep comes and to notice how and when
and under what conditions he loses con-
seriousness. He will, of course, utter
ly fail to put his finger on the moment
of sleep-coming, but in striving to get
as close as he can to the phenomena of
sleep, he will realize how great is the
mystery which he is trying to fathom.-

Unwise Intolerance in the South

The southern people have warm
welcome for all good citizens who come
here to live, no matter from what sec
ton of the country they hail. No man
is run out of the south because of his
politics, unless he attempts to rally the
negro vote and to incite the black man
against the white man. But that there
is a spirit of political intolerance in the
south cannot be fairly denied. The in
dependent voter is not treated with
much consideration, and it is but little
while ago that prominent newspaper in
Virginia served notice on the merchants
of Baltimore that the people of the Val
ley of Virginia had determined to quit
trading with Baltimore, because that
city had gone against German. We have
observed this intolerant spirit in Vir-
ginia more in sorrow than in anger. 1t
cannot help to build up independent
American manhood in this state. and
from a material point of view it is to
the states t.-Richmond (Va.)

Several years ago I went back to Ar

talking with the landlord he said:
Here comes an old fellow let have
one of your books. He can't read, but
told him to take it home and let his wife
read it to him. Let's see what he says
about it,

THE INVESTOR

at Havana. The most notable feature of
the days trading was in the large volume
of transactions for London account The
number of shares bought in New York for
London was estimated at from 10000 to
10000 shares. Even with this large demand
to be filled, prices were not lifted at the
opening fully to the London parity. The
sharp decline seemed to have awakened a
demand In London for Americans and ear
ly quotations from there showed yester-
days declines largely recovered. The
strength of the Spanish fours In London
also indicated the absence of apprehension
OF an embodiment between the United
states and Spain. London's large buying
OF securities, In fact, led to renewed talk
of early imports of gold, and this talk Is
given additional force by the showing of
merchandise exports from New York for
the week, which were over $12, ,000, 600 in ex-
cess OF last week, and over 50, ,O00, 600 greater
than those In the closing week of last year.
1t was evident that some of the profess
sional traders who put out short contracts
in yesterdays Cuban scare returned from
cover in the early transactions, in the be-
lief that the market would become easy
after London had ceased operations. The
belated shorts rushed to cover In the final
transactions and made the tone buoyant
at the close.
The bond market showed increased ac-
tivity and strength as the day progressed,
and showed gains as a rule. Total sales
$3,500,000. The old fours, registered. were
* lower bid, and the coupons and the new
fours were h higher.

Queer Signature to a Check

"That man forgot to sign his name,"
remarked a we'll known insurance agent
as he reached the end of letter from one
of his correspondents.
'I presume you run across many cases
of forgetfulness and abstraction while
reading your correspondence" I sug-
gested as he resumed looking over his
mail.
"Well, yes they are more frequent
than I wish they were. One of the
most singular instances was a cases
where a man in affixing his signature to
a check used portion of my name and a
part of his own. And he was presi-
dent of one of our leading colleges too"

walton regarding the speed of the ele-
vator, when Jefferson said:
II beg your pardon. Your face Is
very familiar, but cannot recall your
name."
Grant" was the laconic, but perfect
ly courteous reply.
II got off at the wrong floor" said
Jefferson, "for fear I would ask him
next If he had been in the war"
Jefferson did worse than to forget the
names of other people-He sometimes
forgot his own. He called at a postoffice
and asked the clerk:
"Any mail for me?"
"What name?"
"Name? Good gracious, I don't
know. Let me think. Why, am to
play Rip Van Wrinkle tonight at your
hail."
"Joe Jefferson?" suggested the clerk.
Eyes. Jefferson; certainly; thanks"
and. receiving his mail the actor went
away happy.
A favorite trick of a capricious men,
ory Is to substitute some other name for
the one wanted, a process due to assim-
ilation. A couple of ladies on Chicago
street car asked the conductor to leave
them at Pennsylvania avenue.
"There is no such avenue in this sub
urb," said the conductor.
"But there certainly is" reiterated
the ladies; 1--WE have friends living there
and ought to know"
perhaps you mean Keystone ave-
nue?" suggested a passenger, and they
said that was just what they did mean,
but they knew it had something to do
with Pennsylvania, which was impressed
upon their memories as the Keystone
state.
A good story is told of an excellent
woman who had this fatal habit of mis-
constituting names. Her daughter was
expecting a call from gentleman, and
she impressed upon her mother the fact
that his name was very simple one
and easy to remember-Cowdry. The
mother repeated it until she was sure
she could not possibly forget it, and on
the evening when he called, hurried
forward to meet him, saying graciously:
"How are you, Mr.. Drycow."

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The opening in
wheat was weak. May, which closed yes
terday at 1884, started today at 931sM93A
and comparatively little trading was done
even at those prices. The weakness was
due both to foreign and domestic news.
The Liverpool cables wero but Ad. higher
at the opening, and this slight advance was
soon lost. About 1915, however brokers
for Letter began bidding for January, and
the price was advanced so far that for a
few minutes it appeared to be fairly run
ming away. From 95l9 it jumped half a cent
at a time, brokers raising their bids that
much until 100 was bid. Then the re-
action came, the price dropping almost as
quickly as 1t had advanced. 1t brought
up at 97 and for the rest OF the session
was comparatively quiet. Late in the ses-
sion reports that Italy's bread riots were
increasing and the military had been
called out, started some brief buying, and
May was advanced to 94ls. The closing
price was 933s. Not much was done in
July, and prices rather tended downward.
1t ranged between S5GS5A, and closed at
S47s, shade under yesterdays prices.
Corn. though active, was firm. Moder-
ate receipts and the storm weather west
caused some investment, and a moder-
ate covering followed.
Oats were firm all day, though trading
was even smaller than in corn.
After rather easy opening, provisions
turned strong and remained so throughout

TRICKS OF MEMORY
Joe Jefferson Never Torgets His Lines,
But Does Names

Some one has forcibly remarked that
proper names escape from the memory as
easily as creased pigs, and illustrates
the remark with an anecdote concerning
Joe Jefferson, who never forgot his lines,
but has an imperfect recollection of
names. Jefferson had been introduced
to General Grant at the time when that
distinguished soldier was the lion of the
social world, and the popular actor was
much impressed with the personality
of the hero. A few hours later as he
went up in his hotel elevator, says the
Chicago Times-Herald, a rugged look
ing man with a military bearing bowed
pleasantly to him, and made an obser-

The Theater Hat in Paris

Mr.. Blanc, the new prefect of police in
Paris, has begun his administration by
the issue of stringent ordinance
against women's high trimmed hats in
the parquet and balcony seats of the
metropolitan theaters. The rule does
not apply to women in the boxes. Gu
riously enough similar rule was enact
ed at the close of the last century by
the chief of the Partisan police. whose
name was not not Mr.. Blanc, but Mr..
Nois. The same edict debarred all
women, except those of the aristocracy,
from appearing in theaters and places
of public resort with rouge on their
cheeks.

Fire drill by the pupils of the public

able exercise by the burning Of the Pico
Heights school, Los Angeles, on Thurs
