some fixed idea," aud the writer sup
ports his view of the matter by the
following story:
Last summer friend presented us
with tortoise, do not know whether
our dog had heard of turtle soup, or
whether he regarded the creature as
new kind of bone that walked about;
at any rate, he determined to eat it.
Whenever the turtoise started out on
a constitutional down the garden path,
Gyp, arrested it and carried it into his
kennel, where he gnawed at the i'm
penetrable armor till his jaws ached.
The calm and philosophical manner
in which the tortoise resumed its inter-
rupted promenade irritated the dog
exceedingly, but no failure discouraged
him. Whenever we reminded him of
the tortoise, he would 60 in search of it
all round the garden, peering into every
crevice, till eventually the creature was
found, and then fresh attempts were
made to extract the meaty portions
from the shell.

Democrat, may amuse some people not
of the householding or electric stock
holding class.
Not long ago prominent citizen of
New Orleans went raging into the
electric light companys Office and de-
clared that one of their wires had killed
pet tree on his premises.
"That tree" said he, "has been stand
ing there for twenty years, and we re-
garded it as one of the family. My
children played under it when they
were babies, and it is associated with
some of the pIeasantest days of my life.
When it began to die we all mourned,
and we could not imagine what allied it
until yesterday, when 1 noticed that a
wire was lying right across branch.
My poor tree has been electrocuted, and
I feel as if murder had been done in
my house."
Considerably moved, the agent of the
company went to view the scene of the
tragedy, and found the tree still alive,
but feeble. When he came to trace the
wire, he discovered one end nailed to
the roof of an old barn and the other
twisted around a discarded pole. 1t
had been cut off for at least two years,
and forgotten. But the occasion de.
manded something, so he made the fol-
lowing report:

ranged from Ia to "a. The result was
that what with London buying In our
market and GOV. ring by traders early
quotations shower substantial advances
over our closing prices. As a rule these
advances were more than maintained
during the day. Il Is true that once OF
twice fairly suoosssful drives were made
at d. II. T., and temporarily the rest of
the market sympAthized with the weak
ness In this stock, but 1t was noticeable
during the entire day that 10 took very

Money ruled easy during the entire
day; the highest rate paid being six per
cent and that only on loans which run
until January End. Probably the average
price of the day was l-2 per cent.
To some extent the market was affected
by predictions made abroad that with the
