WIDESPREAD CONFIDENCE
Improvement in Cereal Markets-Active
mand in Iron and Steal.

Bradstreet's says: Business is still
of between-season character in most
lines, but ivening up of interest in
several trades has been noted this
:, eek. Relatively best reports come
from the iron and steel, lum Der, leath-
er and rug trades. but there has been
some enlargement of wholesale distri.
butive trade on spring account in the
South and West. Spring trade in dry
goods is Just opening up. and it is
noted that heavy shipping movement
on orders is now proceeding at the
West. Some gain in wool sales is
noted at Eastern markets, but weather
conditions have not been favorable as
whole, except in stimulating the retail
trade in shoss and rubber goods. A
special feature is the generally good
tenor of reports as to colleo tions from
all Western and Southern points, from
which it is inferred that trade rela-
tions to retailers must have been quite
good. Summed up briefly, the situa-
tion is one of widespread confidence in
the general business outlook.
Corn is slightly higher. in sympathy
with wheat and small receipts of con.
tract.
Inquiry rather than active demand
is leading feature in iron and steel,
but quite an increase of activity is
noted in Bessemer pig iron and billets
at Pittsburg and in plates at Chicago.
Iron production is increasing, but has
not yet overtaken consum ption. and
stocks are reported smaller taan a
month ago.

Photographers Must Employ Tricks to
Get o I'd Pictures.
1T is no easy matter to make a good
horse picture said Alfred j. Meyer of
Pach Brothers, although every anna
teur thinks himself equal to the task.
A horse must be taken from the proper
point or his owner will not recognize
the picture. If the camera is too near
the subject certain points will be ex-
aggerated in the photograph. The best
results are obtained by placing the
horse on slight incline, so that the
fore feet are trifle higher than the
hind feet. This position throws the
head up. Then swapping the fingers
or making any slight noise will cause
the animal to prick up his ears. and at
the moment when he is in this position
Of attention the photographer makes the
picture.
I When horses in harness are to be
photographed they must be posed on
level ground or on slight incline. To
make them look alive a hat or a card is
sometimes scaled in front of them,
and at the moment when they look up
the snap shot is made. When pictures
of horses in action are made we usual
ly place the camera near the ground,
and by that means we get the best hoof
position, which cannot be secured when
the camera is held or placed at the or
dinary height. To make pictures of
jumping horses the same method is en-
/ ty,I~
sometimes exaggerated by placing the
camera below the track level. An ex-
cavation is made in the ground for that
purpose, and pictures made from there
increase the apparent height of hurdles
and make small jump look something
remarkable "-NeW York Tribune

Why Short Girls Are Preferred

Why Short Girls Are Preferred.
1t is an undeniable fact that the ma
Jority of men prefer short women to
tall ones. Perhaps this is because they
like to be looked up to-at all events
by the fair sex-and it is only natural
for them to prefer the girl who. in her
little caressings and fascinating, lover
like ways, has, on account of her short
ness, to look up at him for the purpose
of peering into his love-lit eyes.
Tall women are usually dignitied.
and appear to scorn kittenish ways,
and although they manage to draw ad-
miration it Is rather of the awe-insnir.
ing kind
No doubt, owing to the smallness of
stature, and pretty, playful ways, men
give to little women more petting than
the tall, dignified woman demands. The
lovers oft-repeated expression, "You
little darling" could hardly be applied
to the very tall girl without tickling
the risibilities of those who overheard
1t.
This is certainly very hard and looks
like punishment for being tall. but
who can help her stature? 1t is a fact
too, that men are rather shy about an.
preaching tall women because of the
restraint which they feel but cannot
explain.
They are under the mpression-why,
1t Is hard to tell-that tall women are
built to be commanders, and they are
in their natural element when left
alone in their reserved dignity and
musings in their lonely wanderings,

For the stranger, saint or sinner, in the

For diamonds often gathered from the

There were weddin's where the neigh

There were fun'rals, too, where neigh
