CHRISTMAS IN THE WOODS.

The winters sun had sunk to rest.
Beyond Oiympcs mountain.
Tai shadows staiked from out the west.
Ger frozen fern and fountain.
MISS drifTed up from the ocean gray.
Trooping after departing day:
And the mournful night winds
Their harps did play,
In tall evergrezens overhanging.
Three hunters round campfire sat.
Within this forest dreary,
'Nniskerfucins" slim, Sam Bouser fat:
And Boitelle. tall and CHEEKY;
And the campfire flashed
And the torrent dashed:
Tumbling down over boulders
1t constantly washed,
Foot of evergreens overhangtng.
"A dime for your thoughts laughing
Bouser cried.
As Wh3skerfucius pensive.
Sat gazing into tbs forest wide
The forest dark and extensive
Where the somber tree trunks gigantic
stood
Standing straight upright, as giants
Strong sturdy supports of solid wood.
For tall evergreens o'erhanging.
Yes; tell US your thoughts Boitelle CHM
His blue eyes fun of laughter.
Are they of some fortune You hope to
Or of the smiles of some ranchers daugh-
comei speak up. man.
As you safely can,
That We fellows all may dream Of your
plan.
Under evergreens overhanging."
But he of the whiskers he'd grown in the
West
Shook his head and retired 10 slumher:
For his thoughts were too sacred for idle
jest,
For Jokes and ibes without number.
Ills thoughts had been Of futare day;
OF a meeting with dear ones far away;
OF his wife; of his children he'd left at
play,
Under oak leaves overhanging.
And there that night by that fire grown
dim,
Did his dreams so sweet soiace him.
For he saw those dear ones awaiting him.
Their arms outstretcHed to embrace him.
Their happy voices Yet rang in his ear
When the dawns gray light in the east
did appear,
And Hope held out toward him a happier
year,
Under oak leaves overhanging.

largely confined to December and May, In
which fluctuations were less and the vol

in the way of buying short wheat for Sep

Accident Premium Note

In the case of the Bankers Accident In
surance company of Des Moines vs.. Rog-
ers, recently decided by the supreme court
of Minnesota, 1t appeared that the COM
pany wrote an accident policy at SIG a year.
The usual application was signed by the
policy holder, stating that he was not sub
5ect to fits, and had all his legs, arms, etc.,
and he was then asked to sign In second
place. The second signature was to a note
for SO. to be reduced 81 each year as long
as the applicant paid his dues, and to be
due at once for the remainder as soon as
he became delinquent. The defendant de-
clined to keep up his insurance at the end
of the first year, and was surprised to find
that he apparently owed the company S.
The supreme court held, sustaining judg-
ment In favor Of the defendant, that since
the application and the articles Of incor-
poration and the policy were all silent
about the definite term of insurance, 1t was
competent for the plaintiff to testify orally
that 1t was contract for one year. and,
Furthermore, that the note for the time
beyond that was without consideration.

Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street


NEW YORK, Aug. 26-The indications
in the stock market late yesterday that
the liquidation Of profits was over for the
present, and that powerful interests were
preparing to enter on the "long'' side, were
partly confirmed today. Prices went up
sharply at the opening, but there were suf-
ficient selling orders placed with commits
sion houses to reduce the gains In the gran
gers and put stop to the advance. Tho
enormous absorption Of the Northern Pa
cific stocks, however, was undated, and
the aggressive strength shown BY Sugar
also helped the early rise. The large outside
offerings to take profits served materially
to decrease the buying movement, however
and period Of dullness interviewed. 1t was
terminated by the sudden movement In
Union Pacific, which rose early above 49,
and was held there for the balance of the
day. The preferred stock was also lifted to
81, and the movement extended to the gran
gers and southwestern railroads. The
Northern Pacific stocks suffered from profit
taking under cover Of this diversion Of spec
ulation, but the advance in the general list
was continuous and the market broadened
SO as to embrace a large number of DOR
mant stocks. The grangers were all ad-
vanced to near the high point on the pres
emit movement. and st. Paul rose sharp
fraction above it. The close was strong.
Profit taking was In evidence In some of
the speculative bonds today, but the stand
ard shares were generally steady. Total
sales, N,770y 900.
Government bonds were unchanged.

The volume of business reflected In ex-

year of largest business and highest pros

there are most healthy increases over the

Comparison as to the foreign trade are

were extraordinarily small, after the big
rush to antiSipate new ., ou sho ths n ss
nomenal demand which made the year quite
the most remarkable IN our history Hence
the decrease Of 10 per cent Ia New York
from August thus far Is not alarming, but
sales of products yet to be followed are
large and have stopped any advance IN the
current rates of foreign exchange. Nor p

Wheat goes down three cents this week,
as IL there were no foreign demand coming,
the previous concert of farmers to keep
back wheat, the crop being certainly very
large, tending to encourage a conspiracy OF
traders against them, which thus far has
entire control Of the market. Atlantic ex-
