The ties that bind us now are riyen.
But let US all go brayely forth,
Hoping at last to meet In heaven.
Although our school life ends today,
And we upon the world are thrown.
Yet we will all look back with longing
10 the happy days now flown.
All the tender ties that bind us
CLOSELY round our hearts entwine;
AND, as friends, each year shall lind u.s.
All the class of '9y.
-Four years we've been together now,
Oneered on by teacher dear and friend:
mo rough the path, yet we will find
The fruits of labor In the end
As in broader paths we tread
And face the duties that we find
Ready in all things" let us be
Each olassmate dear Of 100.

JUROR CREATES A SENSATION
Former Senator Lowe, Sitting ns
Juryman in HilImOn Case, Holds
Policy In Defendant Company.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Nov. 17.-Former
State Senator p. G. Lowe, who has, for the
last five weeks, been sitting as juryman
in the sixth trial Of the famous Hillmon
insurance case. created mild sensation
when he arose in the jury box today and
asked United States Judge Hook IL it were
proper for him to remain in the box, stat
ing that he held a policy in one Of the de-
fendant companies.
Judge Isham OF Chicago had been making
an argument for the insurance companies
and stated that the defendants were mutual
insurance companies, and that a man holding
a policy in the company was not qualified
for juryman. At this Lowe arose and
put his question as stated. After recover
ing from their astonishment the attorneys
representing each side, one at time, waived
all objections to Lowe. and Judge Hook
ruled that he was a proper juryman and
that the trial should continue.

| General Trade Continues to Hold Up
| WeIl-Future Promising.
| NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Bradstreet's to-
| morrow will say:
General trade and industry continue at a
ma ximum volume for this season of the
| year. while prices as whole manifest a
! strength not approached In recent years.
Strength of values Is still notable among
manufactured textiles. but cereals, hides,
leather and manufactures thereof have also
strengthened slightly. On the other hand
pork products, raw cotton and tin are
slightly lower. The great majority OF
prices, however, remain firm at unchanged
quotations. The strength of cotton goods
this week partly the result of active de-
mand and also of heavily reduced available
stocks, has been in striking contrast with
the irregularity and, at times, weakness
manifested by the raw product. An active
consumptive demand for wool is reported
at all leading markets, accompanied by a
fair export demand and further reduc-
tion In stocks.
Cereals do not manifest any striking
change this week, but the resisting power
of the market is apparently greater, more
moderate receipts of wheat at the west in
ducing some covering. and corn is sympa-
thetically stronger. Another feature nat
urally attracting attention at this time
of the year is the active demand for but
generally reported small, stocks OF coal
available, both east and west. Lumber dis
plays continued strength. and advices are
of an expected very heavy cut this winter,
both in the northwest and at the south.
some SnaulllB IN provision prices Is npleu,
largely as a result of heavier receipts of
hogs. Sugar is in rather slow demand, not
withstanding reiterated reports OF the set
tlement of the war among reiiners
The market for iron and steel is rather
quieter at the east, but a heavy demand,
both for pig iron and steel is reported at
Chicago. While export business has been
reported checked II is interesting to record
very heavy order for steel rods for ex-
port placed this week. Reports are also
that a large foreign contract for rails has
been secured. Some shading In prices of
plates and steel billets Is reported, but
