The poor child's chance to look at Judge!
But no trouble at all would have come of
that day,
Had she staid in the meadow raking the
hay.
The judges steps were reluctant and slow,
He may have been thinking. for aught we
know,
Beforehand, just the decision to make
On points the counsel would forget to take.
1t was hard to leave the mocking- birds
song
For the weary drone of lawyers tongue.
For the stuffy court -room's fevered breath;
But. judges who take the peoples pay
Shouldn't trife judicial time away,
Drawing their bride reins under the shade
When they chance to meet barefoot maid.
However, we let that pass! Do you think
The judge was obliged to have that drink?
Had he found some old beggar-clad in
her worst
Do you think the judge would have suf-
fered from thirst?
And. doubtless, Maud was fully aware
That her Trilby feet were shapely. though
bare.
And very well the gypsy knew
If she looked down-the judge would, too!
1t appears that he gave-quite away from
.he books
An impromptu opinion upon her good
looks.
And depressing still further. he talked of
the weather
And irrelevant matters-for delay as I
gather
OF haying, and grasses flowers and trees.
The cloud il the west-the birds and the
bees;
And then, just like men every day,
Having done the mischief-rode away!
The poet who told of all this long ago
Left out the one thing We most wish to
know:

sEYINGs FROM THE CHINESE.


/.
The money that In charity you spend
You do not wholly lose-you merely lend;
Some day it's echo will yourself befriend.
The cargo of small boat should be small.
Too much is worse than having none at all;
So, on the child's mind put but little draft,
If you would save. rather than sink, the
craft.
To rear indoors the tigers cub,
While 1t is young, is nothing new;
But, by and by-ah! there's the rub
When grown, he'll make his meal of you.
The things we speak melt In the air to-day,
But what we write no power can wash
away.
To one quite hungry every dish is good,
And relish waits on cen the plainest food;
The one who's thirsty does not stop to
think,
But finds nectar in the stalest drink.
VI.
Bring up good children, and, when they
are grown,
Homes they will find. and houses of their
own.
You do not cast away stick of wood
For one small flaw, and say 1t is not good;
Then why not treat your fellow-man the
same?
One fault deserves not universal blame.
Joel Benton, in Lippincott's.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, March stocks were
again opened up and then lowered.
with some rallies. Dealings were on
rather a less extensive scale than of
late.
The specialties displayed extreme
irregularity and the standard stocks
were weak most OF the day. The open
ing rise was associated with the more
favorable aspect Of the Philippine sit
uatiOn due TO Germany's withdrawal
OF her cruisers, supposedly lessening
the chance Of complications. The s2S.-
100000 in dividends and interest which
was payable today had but little appre-
clable effect upon the money market
Atchison preferred and Burlington had
an early appearance of strength. but a
larger volume of selling orders an
peared which, rightly or wrongly, was
attributed to some Of the leading bull
interests which had been conspicuous
purchasers for two months
The same interests appeared to be
sellers of the standard stocks AS the
market ran off the stop loss orders
were reached in some cases. while Lon
don was source Of support, taking
about 10000 shares on balance The eff
feet of this purchasing was reflected in
a weaker tone for sterling exchange
Prices after the extreme decline rose
on moderate dealings and then were sent
downward and upward in a sluggish
manner. There appeared little press
ure of offerings or urgent demand.
The specialties which We're conspicu-
Gus in the initial advance were about
equally prominent on the decline
Among the high-priced stocks Third
Avenue and Consolidated Gas and To-
bacco made notable gains Part of
which was lost in the late trading
The professionals were in control of the
trading most OF the day and some of
the large interests were not very active
in the bears confidence in their aggres-
siVe tactics.
Southern and Central Pacific were
under pressure much of the day. The
market Weakened up toward the close,
the activity being at the expense of
values, with considerable selling of the
grangers, and the market left off with
fractional net losses in most stocks,
with the tone weak. Trading in bonds
today was considerably mixed, weak
ness and strength developing in i'm
portant issues
Total sales $4,67O,0O0
United States bonds were unchanged
on bid quotations.

SCOTT'S LAST DECISIONS,
Final Rulings on War Revenue Made Be
fore Comm ssioner's Resignation

Commissioner n B. Scott. previous
to resigning his Office to accept a seat
in congress, rendered the following de-
cisions on sections of the stamp-tax act
which have just been received by Dep
uty Collector Winslow
A change of beneficiary in life insur-
ance policies is not subject to taxation
unless the same is made for a yalua-
BILE consideration.
The following changes of beneficial
ries are not held to be subject to tax
alton: The life of A is insured and the
policy is made payable to AS heirs OF
personal representatives A is a sim
gle man and marrieS, and requests the
company to name his wife as benef-
ciary in the policy instead of making
it payable to his heirs or personal rep
fesentatlVes. This change is not sub
ject to taxation.
Another Instance In the above case
should AS wife die before he does and
should he marry again and request that
his second wife be named as the bene-
hclary under the policy, no tax would
/ accrue Should, however, an absolute
assignment of the policy be made to
, another person, or should the benefi-
ciary named in the policy become
placed in such position by reason OF
some valuable consideration, this
change would be subject to taxation
at the same rate as that imposed upon
the policy originally.
Where brokers are acting in good
RAIN Tor then principals, only one tax
/ is required on the sale or transfer of
stock between the brokers and their

Sectlon OF the war revenue bill inn
poses special taxes on tobacco dealers

! der the act is recognized as a retail
dealer in leaf tobacco. and the tax on
manufactured tobacco and snuff was
! increased 100 per cent, 20 per cent OH
cigars, and so per cent on cigarets. and
under present conditions, II is neces-
| sary to enforce every provision Of law
and regulation which will protect the
revenue and conserve the interests of
honest taxpayers and reduce the oppor-
tGnities for the Illicit manufacture and
sale of unstamped manufactured tobac-
co products.
The only legitimate reason why deal
ers should want to sell leaf tobacco in
small quantities less than u hogshead
case, or bale. Is that cigar manufac-
turers could be better accommodated
