I'VE cannot believe that God ever

It was naturally somewhat, surprising
when July opened In this market to-day
at n net advance. OF only 2N02hc. The
buying fever was not entirely chilled,
however. and after a moments hesita-
ton, another cent was added % the

northwestern markets likewise gave
evidence Of an over supply and toppled

about a rally OF 10, but traders were

small lots through commission houses,
To-day'B advance, however, soon put a
stop 10 ever this, as the buying OF this
character comes from bargain hunters
whose orders are placed upon a scale
OF prices downwards. The market was

buying is rather significant in spite of
It's small volume. II was induced by the

ard limitations of a similar, attitude
soon to be adopted by other powers, the
demand for Americans In London was
stimulated by the strength OF the gem
eral markets. which were active and
strong on the easier money conditions
there. This strength reflected from
London was sufficient to induce the 10.
cal traders to take the bull side for a
short turn. While there was no reflec-
hon OF any note during the day, none
or the prominent stocks made large net
gains. A few less active stocks showed
conspicuous movements. Spirits pre-
ferred rose 81 and Delaware & Hudson
and Detroit Gas 2 points each.
Sugar. Tobacco and the grangers
made up the bulk of the dealings. The
money market continues to attract
much interest and attention. Reserves
continue to be pretty closely held
against future contingency. The de-
mand from the interior for currency.
which had almost ceased last week, has
regained some force. It Is impossible
to forecast how far this demand will go
and ID Is the handspring Of the situa-
ton. The United States treasury has
given notice In effect that It needs all
OF Its supply OF small currency and the
local banks are obliged to meet the de-
mand from the Interior almost alto
gether by shipping gold. This Is likely
10 act as a check to that demand, for
bills are desired rather than gold coin.

aoore the gold import point. The rate
OF discount In London and Berlin was
also Quotably lower to-day. Both Of
these quotations reflect a subsistence of
apprehension here OF the likelihood of
any s~trinsency. Probably government
payments for purchases of war mate
rial made abroad are not without some
effect in giving strength to the ex-
change market

A DIFFERENT LONELINESS.
Old Age as It Approaches Has Its Many
Charms.

II Is difficult matter with many peo-
pie to grow old gracefully. as the say
ing goes. II Is not agreeable to them
to grow old at all. Life Is so pleasant
here that they are loath to give II UP.
loath to change It's conditions, loath to
drop the activities. the receptlvltles,
the delights. of youth. They hate to
find themselves unable TO do the things
they always have done--to walk the
miles. TO climb the hills to achieve the
task. that was such Il mere play to
them. The first gray hair is a fest, the
nrst lines on the face give no dismay;
but when the gray hairs serve to pow
der the others, when the line deepens
from nostril to llp when the cheek be-
gins TO droop, when the flesh losens UNI
der the chin, then they find 1t no laugh
ing matter. but one FOR gloom, If not
for tears.
And yet age has its distinct value.
What would house he. what would a
nursery be, without its grand mother?
How much of an object in life would
be missed by every member Of the
family to which she IL center and a
rallylng point While she is there the
elder people have some one vet older
than themselves to allow them still a
feeling of youth. sort OF tender bar
rier, too. between them and the dark
unknown; the younger ones have some
one who makes the past an actual true
story Tor them something less far
away and dim and unbelievable. some
one who really seems to hold up the
sky on her shoulders; and there IL
some one also for whom the
necessary doing of things calls out the
spirit of effort and sacrifice.
Nor is age unlovely to the eye. As
there Is one glory of the sun and anoth-
er glory of the stars. so there is the
beauty of youth and the beauty of old
age. too. 1t Is not the beauty that ap-
peais To the senses: it is perhaps n
loftier and purer type than that-it
has the difference that there is be-
tween a red rose and moonbeam. be-
tween the body and the spirit. And one
who has seen 1t in It's perfection on
the lovely face OF some placid old wo-
man finds 1t restful to the eye, and all
as pleasant to the soul as the blushing
beauty of the young girl whose caecis
wears the velvet bloom Of tine peach,
and whose lips are pouted for kisses,
but whose soul has yet to find its trans
guration.-Harper's Bazaar.

Why did he do it2 He had everything
to live for,-happy home, wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why?
He couldn't have given good reason
himself But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in gloomy frame of mind
1t was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge !; his stomach and
liver got out Of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion is out of order there
is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things. practically there isn't any bright
side. This is dangerous condition TO get
into. Yet II is easy TO get into and mighty
hard TO get out Of il, unless you go about Il
in the right way.
There Is remedy that has pulled thou
