the situation in Atchison, where there
are many homes where girls are not
taught music at all, and the piano is
opened only for company. Mothers
are beginning to realize that the world
hates a girl who can play a piano. and
can't do anything else. The reform
should not stop here; the time left un-
occupied by keeping the piano closed
might profltably be devoted to practice
in cooking and sewing. This Is busy
world, and the loafer, though she may
be a pretty girl, will find herself
crowded to the wall.

Whipping Machines.

II you were a Scotch boy and were
Inclined to get into mischief you might
appreciate the value Of a recently in
vented Scotch machine. 1t is a device
for whipping young folk who have been
unruly. 1t Is said that this ingenious
machine works Ike a charm and will
turn out more well-punished boys in an
hour than the average person could at
tend to in a day. The machine is in
operation at the town Of Airdrie. The
complaint that the boys make who
have been birched by the machine is
that too much time passes between the
strokes and each one of them feels like
a sound thrashing in itself. Four
strokes Is a pretty severe punishment
for any boy. The lads about the town
Of Airdie are said to either be growing
better behaved or are moving to an
other part Of Scotland.

Slowly he picked himself up, and
carefully gathered the struggling

jolly voice as he looked down from the
floor above.
20, grandpa! I've had just the aw-

upturned face was met by grandpa's
smiling countenance coming down the
stairs.

grandpa, as he surveyed the crisscross
sticks on the floor.

down on the sawhorse, "is what call

steps, and by SO doing causes himself
double the work. besides unnecessary
worry and trouble. Had you taken a
smaller load, you would have had no
trouble IN carrying II, and by this time
your wood-box would have been FULL"
Grandpa" and Willie put his sturdy
little arms resolutely about his grand
fathers neck, I'm tired carrying a

Then as he ran away whistlin9 with
what wood he could comfortably carry,
grandpa nodded, And he'll remember

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE stock mar
ket displayed a feverish tone, as a con-
sequence of the violent shake down of
yesterday. Although there was some be-
lated liquidation prices were not without
support at any time, and where
breaches were made in Values the char
acter of the buying at the decline made
1t look as though the manipulation for q
fall was for the purpose of taking on
stocks. There was a notable volume
of commission house buying, which indi-
Gated that outsiders had been attracted
by the lower level Of prices. There were
points in the industrial list which dis
played notable positive strength. Some
Of the sharp declines in the railroad list,
notably in the grangers, were attrib-
uted to a shifting Of holdings from that
group into some of the industrials.
The grangers touched lower prices
than in the demon alization of yesterday,
and they were practically the only stocks
in the list to do so. That there is still
a large and aggressive bear party in the
market was evident. Their tactics We're
moderately successful in the morning,
especially in the cases of Tennessee Coal
and Metropolitan Street Railway which
were forced down 51A and 534 respectively.
Money at no time ruled over per
cent and in the afternoon was offered
was abroad that some of the very large
individual operators had become pos
sessed of a liberal supply of funds and
were taking on stocks. Traders gener-
ally turned to the bull side and marked
up stocks to the neighborhood Of last
nights level, and in some instances ma
terially above 1t.
Prominent specialties showed recoVeries
from the low point, ranging from 2 to
K Int VNro cIf nd
Tobacco were especially notable in the
rally. In the railroad list the trunk
lines, the Pacif1cs and one or two of the
coalers rose from ~ to 2, and Southern
Railway preferred rallied ~ to 2. Sugar
suddenly broke four points to near the
lowest, and very much unsettled the
whole list.
Reactions were confined to fractions
outside of Tobacco and Brooklyn Transit
and few other industrials The clos
ing was thus made irregular, and with
mixed net changes. The action of the
directors of the Federal Steel company,
in declaring the dividend Of 3 per cent
on the preferred stock, thus making the
full per cent for the year and clear
ing the way for promised dividends on
the common next year, was not an
nounced until the close of business, but
it explained the relative frmness of the
iron and steel stocks.
Sentiment as to the future of the stock
market is still conflicting and unsettled
in view Of the continuation Of the fac
tors which have restricted the money
supply and led to the forced liquida-
ton.
The bond market was less active than
stocks and prices were comparatively
