1t has been asserted in this column for

this belief and the belief that important

sold short for a turn with profit. but UNI
less evidence of investment liquidation
arises it may not be wise to remain short
for any extended period. AS yet the
owners OF securities have not become
alarmed over the coal strike, the posi-
bility of Mr. Bryan's election or the prob1-
bflfty of higher rates for money. IF their
cline will not be measured by fractions.
But the chances do not favor this kind
of luuidaton. There is enough uncertain

Behold. not him we knew.
This was the prison which his soul broke
through.
Tender and brave and true.
His voice no more is heard,
And his dead name-tllat clear, familiar
Lies on our lips unstirred
He. spoke with poets tongue;
He shall not die unsung.
Grief tried his life, and pain
And the long bondage Of his martyr-chain
Eexed his grand soul-in vain!
He felt life's surges break.
AS. grit with stormy seas, the island lake
Still smiles while tempests wake.
How can we sorrow more?
Grieve not for him whose heart had gone
before
To that untrodden shore!
Here let his body rest,
Where the calm shadows that his soul
loved best
May fit above his breast.
Smooth his uncurtained bed
And if some natural tears are softly shed
1t is not for the dead,
Fold the green turf Alright
For the long hours before the mornings
light,
And say the last-"good night:
And plant a clear white stone
Close by those mounds which hold his
loved, his own
Lonely, but not alone.
Here let him, sleeping, lie
Till Heavens bright watchers slumber in
the sky,
And Death himself shall die.
From Babylood to Childhood.

Where snow had drifted Ger the, land
A. babe was lying on her breast,
It's fragile form
Against herself she fondly pressed
To keep it warm.

a boy was lying on her knee,
Her look WIS grim
And, suffering joshua. how she
Was warming him!

It now turns out that John C. HAYS,

official to give his wife as little trouble
as possible. and also to see that his body
was not cut up, Us he did not want to be

The letter also contained the following
paragraph. showing generalization: There

is no necessity fer keeping up appear
| ances, or pretending to be richer than one
is. 1t is said that one reason of the jolly
! catIaraderie among a certain class OF Eng
lish civilians in India is that everyone
knows just what his neighbours income is,
and there is no need to strain after max
ing cTeditable appearance in the eyes of
the world. One of the charms of the
Transcendental epoch in and around Bos
ton was that for a time people were valued
for themselves, not for what they had,
and some of the brightest lights CT the
intellectual world were to be found hoeins

course. 1t is not desirable that men who
can write books of invaluable worth shall
put in any great part of their time hoeing
potatoes, but since these and other vegs-
tables have to- be hoed, and there is moth
ing in the actual exercise which is harm
full to brain or body. why should the hoe
not be handled by one man as well as by
another?
The notion that any sort of labor is de-
grading is belittling to any individual or
society, and the snobbishness which stig-
matizes person as less than gentleman,
or lady, from the mere fact of having
once engaged in manual labor. is one of
the pettiest things on earth. The fact of
gentlehood goes too deep to be touched by
any such trivial matters. If man is a
gentleman by nature. labor with a pick
and shovel will not take it out of him;
If woman is a lady. she may do clear
starcting. as princesses have done in their
time. and be none the less a gentlewoman
in thought, word, and act In fact such
employments as these are true test of
good manners, for If a woman can behave
like lady when she Is in a position usual
~ regarded as mental, she can dc so any
where; and if she has one single unlady
like trait it will come out under those con-
ditions.

to China minus small portion of ths

The piece of silk. which is of triangular

City Hall force who has been quietly
searching for the missing piece of gar

piece CT silk he declined to make known
but it is presumed that il was forwarded
to him in an anonymous letter.

ment. he having worn it exclusively to
receptions He worried most, however,
over the figure which was embroidered on
the piece of missing silk. and which is
said &c have represented personal gift
from the Empress OF China.
The Viceroy did not lose any time in
reporting his loss to the police authori-
ties and the duty fell upon Detective
Tate to interview Ii Hung. Chang in ref
erence to his misfortune. The matter
wa5 kept secret by the police officials at
the Vieeroy s request. and it was not I'M

The garment was probably torn while

through the crowd which gathered in
front of the Union League Club house to
look at him as he walked to his carriage
after attending the reception. Il have

1t is possible that the late Chinese cable
news this morning may show that the re-
lief column has struck Pekin. This is the
last day CT the food supply, according to
the statements sent out by Sir Claude
Macdonald on August 6. and 1t is believed
that since that date the legations have
been again under siege. The Government
is still suppressing the message received
from Minister Conger on Tuesday. but it
is understood that it contained a strong
plea for instant help. a statement that
the imperial authorities were trying to
force the legation people cut of the city,
and that unless the relief column should
be ready TO attack by Thursday or Friday
general massacre could not be averted

cry, while the Empress Dowager is at the

Movement to Reduce the Rate In

H0BOKEN. y. j.. Aug. 15.-whcn the
farmers OF Essex and Morris eoun,ies.
n. j.. meet tomorrow st their big annual
picnic, it is probable that one or two OF
the speakers will refer 10 the bill which
was introduced in the State Legislature
last winter TO reduce the legal rate OF In
.ereSt from to per cent The bill was
Aihed, but not before a big discussion had
'aheh place In regard TO its merits.
Some OF those who favored /; had dons
their best to make the farmer believe that
u was good thing for him. and many
members Of the State Grange became ros-
sessed OF the idea that the legislators were
soing them an injustice by opposing the
Eli.
The bill was drafted almost upon the
same lines as that which had been in
troduced in the New York State Legssia-
ture for many years, and which had be-
come known to the members Of both the
Senate and Assembly as an old stager.
With the Jerseymen. however, 1t was
new idea. Many thought that the rer
cent rate was cruel and unjust, and that
II was only fair to have 1t reduced These
that had mortgages On their farms-and
there were many-argued that the differ
enee Of per cent would be a great relief.
The farmers. however, in many OF the
best-cultiyated sections of the State did
not work aggressiyely for the reduction
and hundreds Of them declared that they
did not want the legal rate disturbed.
They declared that they would be FAR bet

which govern the movement OF money.
