hAd-bills and bucket of paste. With
the cold gaze of the electric eye upon him,
the boy plastered bill upon the tall wooden
pole, and then stepped back to gaze admir-
iDgly on his work, and to give an extra
dab or two at the loose edges which there
Nippon clung to their support in approved

Three women were approaching from diff

he, whistled very shrilly and quite of the
key, as he slowly picked up his pail to leave.
zone old lady stopped and exclaimed, i'm
patiently;
"If you must whistle, why don't you
whistle in tune?'
The boy only laughed good-naturedly,
and took himself off in haste, but the two
women approached uttering little expires
sions of surprise and pleasure; for they
were old friends, and at the very moment
Of meeting each had been thinking over by
gone days, when their lives were closely in
tsFwoven.

disappeared round a corner.

looks up in Joseph's face and with CULVER

And so there is reason for this great
Christmas anniversary. We know why is
land calls to island, and nation responds to
nation, and continent halls continent, and
hemisphere salutes hemisphere. We know
why the world heaves its hosanna like an
Atlantic surge over the battlements of glory.
Watch the old sexton of the ancient cathe-
dra. He rises about four o'clock and trims
his lantern We follow him down the
street and up the hill, and suddenly before
us, out Of the gloom of the early morning,
rises the great Gothic temple. The door
closing with a bang starts a long roll of
echoes up and down the church aisles like
a drum call. He climbs the belfry steps and
sets his lantern in the recess of a window
and long thin ray shoots from it across
the church and the sculptured faces OF
many saints are lighted up. 1t is five
o'clock. The sexton grasps rope, bends
his body and bows his knees till they touch
the floor, suddenly drops the rope and it
swiftly runs upward, and the tower trem-
bles and the great bell, like a huge gun,
booms "Awake" He grasps another rope
and rings a second bell in the chime which
repeats the message of the first: Awake
The bell ringer grasps another rope, and
rings third bell, and it responds:
"Awake!" Then all is still But as the
music dies upon the air, far away comes

from which they have suffered Peoples
Gas was the notable example in the in
dustrial department The stock sold off
after the opening on the presumption that
yesterdays buying had satisfied the de-
mand from the shorts but the large COW
ering at the decline caused a renewed
advance, and it was lifted at one time
an extreme three and quarter points,
closing with net gain of one and
half points. In the railroad list Northern
Pacific was in largest demand, on. buying
supposed to be for inside interests. But
here also the large short interest played
an important part in the days advance,
which represented two and half, with
the net gain two and a quarter. But
while the strength of these two stocks
was prominent list of those which rose
from one to two points was long one
Notwithstanding the notable dizziness at
the last, the closing was strong and gains
were well maintained. The failure of the
money rate to respond to the operations
on the stock market gave color to the sup
position that they were conducted by pro-
fessional operators who had supplied
themselves with time loans with view
to such a contingency as the present.
The call loan rate in fact was inclined
to sag, the ruling rate declining to three
per cent, Notwithstanding that loans were
made today carry over until Monday. The
further contraction in cash reserves of
the banks, indicated by the preliminary
estimates failed to harden the money
rate. Apparently the banks have lost
during the week upward of $S,000000 or
about as much as last week. This effec-
tually wipes out the remaining surplus of
the banks unless the reserve require
ments have been considerably reduced.
The action of the money market today
indicates that this must be the case and
promises a showing of considerable loan
contraction. There was also some relaxa-
ton in the interior demand for currency
The bond market was quiet and changes
