The One who Made Trouble Wher.
ever He Moved.

ever He Moved.
An excellent and pertinent suggestion war
that once made by an old Quaker lady to Z
grumbling man. The man had formerly
lived near the Quakeress, and from his boy.
hood had been in the habit of finding fault
with his neighbors, their ways OF living,
their speech and ideas.
He moved to another town and on his first
return TO his birthplace called on his
Quaker friend, who had to listen to cata
logue Of the faults of his new neighbors. She
spoke as soothingy as possible, but her
words produced no effect.
In the course of five years the mans bust.
ness led him to make a second move, and on
his next visit 10 his native town the old
Quakeress was again favored-with a call.
:. How does thee like thy new home, viii
liamy" she asked.
"0h, the towns all well enough" said the
man. in his usual complaining tone, "but the
people are queer. l can't get along with
them. They're not what i call good neigh.
bors. / wish TO the land that / could find
somebody that was the kind to live near. IL
seems strange, with living in three places,
I've had bad luck in my neighbors every
time"
William" said the old Quakeress, look
Ing straight across at the moody face oppo-
site, Il think the trouble may be partly
that wherever thee moves, one Of the neigh
bors move with thee. Why not leave him
behind the next time, or at least ask other
folks opinion of him before thee moves

RESCUED BABY.
brave Deed of IA Heroine for which
She Got No Reward.

Doubtless no woman in town swims bet
ter than Miss u, but since last summer
she has ceased to take pride in her accom-
plishment. She spent the season at one Of the
northern lakes. One afternoon, just at the
fashionable promenade hour, she was walk
ing along the lake shore drive, when she
heard scream from the pier near. She runs
like ATLANTA, and she dashed out TO the
pier An deliberately dressed woman was
wringing her hands and screaming:
"Oh, my baby! My baby! My baby's
drowningl"
Miss u was dressed in her newest
gown. but il wasn't time TO think Of
gowns. She Owed from the pier. She saw
no baby under water. She rose and few
feet from her saw a small body floating, a
brown, four-legged fat body, that yelpcd
as it padded shoreward. Baby" was n
pug, and the one lone man who heard Miss
ks remarks TO baby's owner few min
utes later tells me that he thinks Of them

A LITTLE SURPRISE FOR HIM
Experience of Man the First Time he
Passed the Plate in Church


1.-THE first time 1 ever passed the plate
in church, said reminiscent man, "some-
thing very unexpected happened. I got
half way up the aisle, and was getting along
as nicely and smoothly as could be, when
a man sitting in the end of one of the pews
that came to indicated a desire to speak
to me.
Now you know that was something
had never dreamed of. 1t had always
seemed to me that the man passing the
plate walked straight up the aisle in II
solemn kind of way, while the whole church
was still, never pausing except to hand the
plate in the pew and get it back, and the
idea that anybody could ever speak to him
had never occurred to me, and SO this mans
indication that he wanted to speak to me
came as great surprise and something of
a shock But didn't drop the plate, and
l had gumption enough to incline my head
to him, so that he wouldn't have to shout
to make me hear, and what he said was:
"'Can't you have that window over there
closed?" And he indicated with little
nod window high up In the side of the
church, where the wind was blowing
and making a draught
II Strengthened up and passed on, and
when had finished my part of the collect
ing and got back to the rear of the church
sent the sexton to close that window, and
as he saw 1t go up the man that had made
the request sent a friendly glance down the
aisle to me.
Later. at one time and another in the
course of my experience. I received various
requests while passing the plate, and now
and then a notice for the minister, but 1
was always ready for them after that

NEW YORK, June H.-The stock mar
ket today gave renewed evidence of the
general disposition among important finan-

trlbution of new securities in excess of
$500 900 900, and the formation of an UNDER
writing syndicate to provide $50, 600 900 cash
TO carry out the immediate provisions of
the plan, augurs well for the confidence of
its projectors in the immediate tendency

In connection with the July dividend and

The general temper of the speculation to-
day was hesitating during the greater part

their efforts against the high-prioed spe-
claities, with view of dislodgng long
