UNLIMITED Guests.

" Chicago Timcs-Herald: A dear old
clergyman, who had a limited income
and an unlimited family, used to like
to tell of the strangers who dropped in
to be entertained for q week to save no.
tel bills. The merest shadow OF an ex-
cuse would suffice for an introduction,
and once taken 1t was next to impossi-
BILE to get them out.
Once" he said, reminiscently. ''the
last OF our company had gone, and no
new arrival was expected. / felt that
could renew acquaintance with my
family, and that we might sit down to
meal without strangers being present.
Just then the door bell rang. / opened
the door myself. and a strange young
lady whom / had never seen before
stood on the doorstep. with a satchel in
her hand.
Are you the Rev. Mr.. Blank?" she
asked.
II told her was. and she introduced
herself as coming from Akron, Ohio.
II heard you preach in Akron when
was little girl. and now have come
to spend a few days with your family
and hear you preach again.
Il handed her over TO my wife and
daughters, and she stayed week, and
treated us with the assurance OF an old
friend"
Another guest he liked to tell about
was n fussy woman from his native
town, who had been waited on by every
member Of the family in turn. and who
exacted constant attention. When she
was leaving, after months visit, he
went to the door to see her. off, and po-
.litely ventured the hope that her stay
with them had been pleasant. $50

The carly part of the day showed q

depression here yesterday and sold the
Americans, offerings from that source
amounting to some 10000 shares. The
professional traders also continued
bearish and sold stocks short. but IT
became obvious during the course OF
the day that there was no urgent pres
sure to liquldate. The decline In prices
brought no large offerings and the
bears were dlsinclined on this account
to pursue their campaign. Consequent
ly they bought to cover their contracts
and turned the market upwards. The
recovery was helped by strength In 4
few stocks. but whether the upward

generally to any other cause than the
taking OF bear profits on the short sales

vclopments In the money market which
is the true index OF speculation at pres
