The purple tinted peak that was my
goal;
The prize used to dream Of in the
night
The lofty end on which I set my
soul
Is mine today, and all the toll
And all the schemes are done;
But chiding voices echo round
The height that have wont
All, futile toll and unrewarded schemes!
The hope that lured me on has fled
away;
I've gained the height, but lost the
sweet old dreams,
And no warm hands clasp my cold

Have managed TO ascend.
Each step is but the form of one
Who hailed me as a friend!

\ Mystifying Advertisements.
(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.ij


The other day some OF my friends took
it into their heads that they would move.
and they thought that the easiest way to
find house would undoubtedly be 10 adj
vertise for it. So advertise they lid ac-
cordingly.
The next day one of the men of me fam
lily carried home quite a little sheaf of let
ters. and in family cOnclave assembled
they sclemnly opened the epistIes
Then they all stared at each other in
astonishment. One after another looked at
the paper he held, rubbed his eyes. looked
at the others, and then down again.
For every one of the letters announced
the possession of a horse, some Of them
for sale, and some for rent. but, of course
every one guaranteed to be the very best
horse that ever wore shoe iron.
What does it mean" cried the mother
of the family, as she stared at a bewilder-
ing list of weight. height. price. and so on
Then her brother ran for paper. There
it was
''WANTED-One good horse: light and
convenient. not too large with all appli-
ances for heating AdSress. and SC It
went on.
Then they sat down and laughed until
they cried. fully understanding al last
some very peculiar sentences in those let
ters which had greatly Inystified them, as
one or two terms in the advertisement mad
evidently mystified the writer's before
1t was very funny to see the different
ways in which that term "an appliances
for heating had been construed.
The people at the newspaper office
! laughed. too. but I imagine that the man
who set I'D the ad did nothing Of the sort.

New York, March 10-The stock market

character of London quotations for Ameri
cans. Some bull features, however, were
not lacking. All the fractions were higher
on rumors of combinations Metropolitan
Street Railway rose over 3 per cent, and
Third Avenue 10 per cent. Tobacco rose
points. American Steel and Wire and
Federal Steel stocks were higher.
In the railway list the most strength
was developed by the anthracite coalers

was by no means one-sided, but there was
good buying on all the reactions

The opening in the stock market this
morning was irregular, with strength in
Flowers favorites and other specialties,
and sagging tendency in the grangers
and the general list. 1t cannot be said that
this is entirely reassuring, in view OF the
nearness Of the bank statement. which will
probably be unfavorable. Al the same time
the bulls express the hope that the several
days of fairly steady prices will reassure
the public, and lead to a better market
next week. 1t is one of the situations in
which the best judgment in the world is
Of little value as to the immediate tend
ency. Probably most market critics expect
to see fuctuating prices for two or three
weeks at least and the beginning OF a fine
boom sometime next month. Nothing in
the way of exact prediction is made re-
garding the bank statement, but it is be-
lieved that further decrease in the re-
serves will be shown.

strength. The gossip this morning was
that he had expressed himself in unqual-

and that he was buying all those stocks.
Two of the three showed the effect OF his
buying Immediately by advancing point
each in the first hour. Any predictions Of
lower prices or even of an apathetic mar

knowledge that if this gentlen al buys

The gross earnings of the company for the
first week of March show an increase of
over $S1,G00, and are the largest in the
history of the company st. Paul stock was
weak in the early trading as were the

group might be taken up

Metropolitan was the sensation of the
opening trading. The stock was at 240
yesterday and closed at 245. 1t opened at
249 today and in three quotations was at
$50, an advance of 15 points over night.
Here also clique buying and big talk by
the New York enthusiasts combined their
efforts opportunely. One of the gossipers
said that the stock will look cheap at
this year. The hints at an identity Of in

Brooklyn Rapid Transit went TO 81 in
few minutes this morning-another high
price mark. At that figure there was con-
siderable selling pressure, apparently by
the price talked of for the elimination of
this squirt. The stock looked strong how
ever, and little doubt is expressed by peo-
pie supposed to be reasonably near the
fountain head that 100 will be reached this
week. The road has one of the most valu-
able franchises in the world, and the fact
that not dollar of dividend has been paid
on it seems to have little weight with the
enthusiasts. One successful speculator of
this city has 10000 shares of the stock, on
which his account was augmented $50, 900
