Let us sing 1t that way!

A METRIcAL MEDLEY.
In April.

In April.
Do you ever think. as I think. when the
April sunshine falls
In a Hood of yellow splendor on the gray
old city street.
Lighting up the narrow houses with their
smoke-discolored walls.
And the pavement ever grimy from the
tread of many feet
Do you think of leafy woodlands where
the hidden cuckoo calls
And the primroses gleam family and tho
hyacinths are sweet?
Do you ever hear. as hear. mid the hub
bub of the town.
Soft music made by silvery waves upon
a quiet shore;
Or the laughter of the glad winds that
rush across the open down
To dry the fearful blossoms when an
April shower Is o'er2
Do you ever know, as l know, how these
undertones can drown
All the strident sounds of labor and the
traffic's ceaseless roar?
Do you ever long, as long, for a glimpse
Of wide blue skies.
Which no creeping fog will darken, where
no steep roofs intervene:
But the snowy clouds part softly as the
home-bound swallow flies
Through their drifting sunlit fleeces, with
the azure space between
Do you ever long, as 1 long, with mist
before the eyes.
And a prayer that trembles on the lips
Lord keep such memories greenr'

THE PLAY FULLY AS
GOOD AS THE NOVEL

Those who have read and enjoyed
Charles Munn's novel, "Uncle Terry"
will enjoy the play of the same name
which had its first Worcester appear
ance at the Worcester Theatre last
night. The play has been carefully
constructed from the material the book
furnished. all the charm of the charac-
tiers left intact and the value of visual
effect added The play has more health
ly heart interest than many of the
modern rural dramas and its charao-
ters are natural.
It is not necessary to recount the
story for the novel has been widely
read The curtain rises on prologue
showing the lighthouse and beach at
southport, Me. A novel snow storm
effect is introduced in this act, the i'm
preston Of falling snow being given by
means of electric lights and the general
effect is good. In the second act the
impression OF moving water is also
given by the same means.
James Il. Waite, as Uncle Terry"
the good-hearted. blunt Maine country
man has part that suits him well, and
his popularity was plain to be seen
when he fret came upon the stage last
night. Miss Marion Stanley as "Telly,"
Miss Kate Griffith as Mrs. Henry"
Mrs. Royce Alton as the "WiGow
Leach" Edward Wonn as Albert
Paige" Arnold NJ. Alexander as Mich
olas Frye" are all deserving of men
ton. One of the features of the piece
is the singing of Ben Bolt" by Miss
Virginia Dormer, who plays the part Of
"Alice Page"
Uncle Terry will be repeated this
afternoon and evening.

ASKS POLICE TO HELP
LOCATE MISSING SON

Habid Smatte, a 16-year-old Assyri-
an boy, supposed until a month ago to
have been working on a farm some
where between East BroCkfield and
Ware cannot be located by his parents
and as no word has been heard from
him for more than three months his
parents believe something unusual
must have happened to him. His ia
Their has been searching for a trace
Of him fer month past and located
him as having been in East Brookfield
for a time
About six months ago the boy ex-
pressed a desire to start out peddIing
and his father purchased an outfit for
him. The lad worked around through
country towns for a month. He wrote
his father from East BroOkfield about
five months ago that he had secured a
situation with a farmer near Ware.
The boys father advised him to accept
it. Two other letters were received
from the lad, the last one coming about
three months ago. His father learned
about two weeks ago that Smatte had
been seen in East BroOkfield but that
information is all the father has re
ceived. The lad is 16 years old, five
feet tall, weighs 100 pounds and is of
dark complexion. He walks lame, hav-
ing suffered an injury to his right leg.
His father lives at "a Bloomingdale
Road. Yesterday Mr.. Smatte called at
Station l and asked the aid of Chief of
Police ". J. E. Stone in locating the
boy.

Movement of Holiday Goods a
Certain Index of Nations Pros
perity Irrespective of Other
Signs
ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS
HAVE BEEN EXCELLED
Proof Is Afforded That VagarieS
of Speculation Are Not NeCeS
SariIy Detrimental to the World
of Legitimate BusineSS-NeW
Orders For Steel Mills

New York, Dec. 13-R. c. Dun and
Company's weekly review of trade will
say: It is fortunate that the yagaries
of speculation are not always deleJer-
ious to legitimate business. Railway
stocks fell sharply, yet full returns for
November show that earnings were
lis per cent greater than in the same
month last year and 1871 per cent over
those of 1899. Industrial and traction
shares were even more violently dis
turbed, yet the manufacturing plants
of the nation were never more fully
occupied. Numerous labor ControVer-
sizes have been settled, and the rate of
wages is at the highest point ever at
tanned.
Retail distribution is of massive pro-
portions, with dealings in holiday
goods the suspicious feature. This class
of business so far surpasses all pre-
vious records that it alone gives an
unmistakable indication of the nation S
prosperity even if other more definite
measures were not available Records
of clearings, however, express the sit
uation with exactness. Conditions in
the leading industry are still most
strikingly promising. Despite the full
engagement of most steel mills well
into next year. the week has brought
a large amount of new business, partic-
ularly in railway equipment Stability
of prices continues the best feature.
Raw material in the textile indus
tries has developed distinct firmness.
Cotton not only retained the spasmodic
gain that followed the government re-
port but made a further advance, and
indications of continued strength at
tracted liberal purchases by spinners.
The goods market is quiet, with no
urgency to force sales and prices of
some linens are higher. Wool is read
lily taken at unchanged figures, low
prices at the London sale failing to
affect domestic markets because of
the poor grades offered abroad. Mills
here are busy and fall lines of over
coatings have opened satisfactorily.
Raw materials in the footwear in
dustry advanced still further while
the poorer qualities of hides at this
season makes the actual difference
greater than the mere alteration of
a fraction would Indicate Leather is
also f1rmer but shoe manufacturers are
unable to secure commensurate gains
because some shops still have con-
tracts for material at old prices and are
able to hold quotations to jobbers at
former figures With the expiration of
these contracts there will be a material
rise in finished products unless, in the
meantime, a reaction occurs in mate
rails. Western grain producers and
dealers have expressed great faith in
the future of prices, many announcing
their intention to hold supplies until
spring when the scarcity would be
marked and quotations reach a more
profitable point

The CHICAGO Market

Chicago Dec ia small revival or
buying and a tendency to retain holdings
in grains led to bullish activity again to-
day and prices after touching the lowest
point in a week started upward again,
May wheat closed7sc higher, corn Bqlc
higher and May oats 94C higher. Provis-
ions closed a share higher to PIC lower.
Wheat crept back slowly to the eighties.
The absence of Liverpool cables and the
heavy fall of snow and rain throughout
the country kept the talent guessing.
London was rather weak in tone, and
though the winter wheat belt got good
soaking the approach Of Billiards was
much feared. Other conditions early were
bearish. May opened unchanged to hc up
at 1872 to 1874 but soon sold down to 79c.
At this price shorts covered freely and
some professionals began to acquire lines
of long wheat again. The weather report
frightened present holders and trade TO-
ward the close became brisk. Prices re-
covered we'll and May advanced to SO12
closing strong 7sc higher at sos. Seaboard
clearances in wheat and flour equaled
324, 600 bushels. Argentine shipments We're
SIC, 900 bushels compared with $4,000 bush
els last week.
Corn was fairly active, making good
gains and holding them well. The cold
weather reports suggested probable
slower movement for grain, and the out
side demand picking UP again, brought
d good advance after an early sag. Pro-
fessionals also began taking on lines to
some extent at the low prices A good de-
mand for December indicated fair cash
business. May opened steady and ad-
vanced until it reached SIS. Profit taking
brought a slight reaction but the closing
was strong Is to 1c up at 6T1sQA
Oats showed q tendency to follow the
other grains early, but later reacted and
with one or two minor setbacks ruled in
dependently strong. Trade was mostly
among commission houses with supplies
a little short. Provision houses sold de-
ferred futures. May opened steady, sag
ged early, and on the fair professional
bulling, recovered and closed strong &c
up at 45&47s.
Provisions were fairly active and
steady. There was some outside buying
and considerable local selling. Fluctua-
lions were narrow. May pork closed 2lac
lower at 1917; May lard shade lower
at 9. S0d9.S215 and May ribs shade higher
at S.55qS.5712.

Elliot Peabody, Who, For the Past
Five Years Has Had Charge of
Indexing Deeds, to Give Way to
Daniel Kent
LATTER TO HAVE FULL
CHARGE OF THE WORK
Mr.. Kent viii Take Charge Jam
uary /, and While Same Force
of Clerks Will Probably be En-
pIoyed There May be a Change
in Methods

Daniel Kent, registrar of deeds for
Worcester County, is to have charge
of the preparation of the consolidated
index of deeds after Jan. l. This work
has been in the hands of Elliott Pea
body for the past five years and at
present the index is completed to M.
At a meeting Of the county commits
sioners this week it was decided to
give Mr.. Kent entire supervision of the
work and relieve Mr.. Peabody of the
responsibility. The completion of the
work is Of greatest Importance to
those having occasion to use back
records at the registry. 1t is to con-
tain indices Of all deeds recorded from
1910 to 1890, consolidated under letters
in separate volumes. Mr.. Peabody has
had employed a large force Of clerks
ever since he began the work, and
while the work has not moved along
quite as rapidly as some thought it
should, it has been thorough. When
the new Court House was built a room
was especially set apart for indexing
and its capacity has been taxed for
the past year to accommodate the
large number of clerks necessary.
When Mr.. Kent takes charge it is
probable that practically the same
force of clerks will be retained and
the work pushed to the utmost From
M on there will be fewer names to
index and Mr.. Kent may make some
change in methods that will facilitate
the taking of the names from the old
record books.

The election of Edward F. Fletcher
as mayor of Worcester gives to the
town of Groton the distinction of hav-
ing furnished nine mayors for New
| England cities. The cities of Boston
and Fitchburg have had two mayors
each who were natives of Groton,
Lowell, Cambridge and Worcester in
Massachusetts have had one each, and
Gardiner, Me, has had the eighth son
of the little town to preside over its
deStinies. CharlestoWn has had q
mayor whose family belonged in Gro
ton and he makes the ninth, although
not native of the town himself; he
passed his boyhood in the town. One
of the candidates for mayor of Brad
ford, Pa, about 20 years ago was a
native of Groton, and he was defeated
by a very small majority.
The press agent for Barnum &
Bailey's circus shows that the original
spirit of P. T. Barnum is still with the
show. The newspapers of the country
have received this week copies of Paris
newspapers containing ELUSIVE de-
scriptions and Communications of the
greatest show on earth.
By the way, when is this greatest
show coming back to US? Is the present
generation to grow up before Barnum's
circus gets around to Worcester again?
AS I passed along street on the
West Side yesterday I noticed a little
boy lying as if asleep on his sled An
other child was standing some distance
away. Presently I heard the voice of
the little one on the sled, I'm asleep
now" "All right" replied his play
mate, ''T'll be Santa Claus" What
would not one give for such simple
faith!
phil, I have that fluttering feeling
about my heart and occasionally a
sharp pain, such as I used to have
when you made so much fun of me. I
tell you, I should have a DOCTOR and
Mrs. Brown pressed her hand to her
side and moaned a little for effect,
while her husband, the brute, smiled
over his coffee.
Suddenly she gave sharp cry of
real fear and pain, and as Brown
rushed over to her she Historically
drew from it's place of refuge under
the lining of her loose tea gown, a
tiny. crushed mouse. Mr.. Brown
doesn't hear much these days about
heart disease.

THE MILK PRODUCERS
TO ORGANIZE MONDAY

An important meeting of the pro-
ducers of milk for the Worcester mar
ket will be held in Horticultural Hall,
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, for the
purpose of organizing. Now that the
producers have succeeded in having the
price of milk raised to seven cents per
quart TO the consumer is deemed neces-
sary for the best interests of the milk
men to establish a uniform scale of
prices to retailers. Every producer in
this vicinity is urged to be present.
The call for the meeting is sent out by
President Louis J. Kendall and Secre-
tary Fred Midgley.
