NEW YORK, Dec. S-There was very
little active trading in stocks today. the
character of the market remained about
the same as for several days basT Ten
nessee Coal and some of the other in
dustr1aIS, which have been acutely de-
pressed during the week, continued fe-
VerIsh and unsettled. Tennessee Coal
1eu an extreme 33s and recovered 2
points, in sympathy with the late gem
eraI strength Of the steel group. Fed
eTal Steel led the rally, and was helped
by talk of dividend distribution and Of
the adjustment by agreement of the dis
puted points between the great steel
combinations. The movement Of nrices
IN the general list was sluggish through
out. Inc weak bank statement had been
so accurately forecasted that it had little
influence on the trading. If anything
prices were little better after the stats
ment, on taking of bear profits and in
sympathy with the sharp rally in the
steel steel stocks, but there is no change in
the opinion that the cutting in two Of
the small surplus reserves at this period
IS a serious phase of the outlook from
a speculative standpoint. The continued
interior demand for money is regarded
as striking evidence Of business actvi-
ty and prosperity. However, it will in
terfere just as effectually with the pur-
poses OF persons who are holding stocks
on margin with borrowed money.

The Roar of battle.

The roar of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap-
nel. the barking of the howitzers and
the mechanical regular rattle of the
quick firing MaXims, which sounded
like the clicking of many moving ma
chimes on hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the conclusion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in GLORIOUS waves of sound. 1t
Ioared like a great hurricane at sea.
The illusion was so complete that you
expected, ly looking down, to see the
Tugela flashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds of feet in air and
BATTLING with her sides of rock. 1t was
like the roar of Niagara in a gale, and
vet when you did look below not leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was slip
ping forward, fiat and sluggish and in
peace.-From with Buffers Column"

began t. play the wedding march. The
couple, however instead of going on to
the altar, stopped in one of the'pews

ushers came forward and told them
that the clergyman was waiting for

not bear with patience any praise Of

told that Lorna Doone" is his greatest
work, the work in which his fame will

resented the mere mention of the book.
Once l inquired of him was there a

IN The STORM.

My child, your hero may not be,
In truth, hero all the time;
Remember it must chance that he
Shall still have rugged sleeps to climb.
Don't place him on loo high a plane
In fancy; then he will not fall
In your esteem and may attain
To something noble after all.
Ny boy, don't think your sweetheart bears
A halo on her golden hair;
A crown Of purity she wears,
And you must help to keep it there.
But she will have her trying moods
And be not always kind and sweet;
These are LIES nerving interiudes-
Sad pitfalls for unwary feet.
You both are far from perfect yet,
And quarrels will, UNHAPPY, come;
Both may be wrong; SO don't forget,
In anger's blind delirium,
That sweet concessions each must make
And tender promises renew
Or else loving heart may break
And sorrow come to dwell with you.
