Too Clever.

A certain drug clerk, whose attempt.
ed cleverness the Pittsburg Daily
News records, had heard the story Of
the colored woman who. on asking for
Aesh.colored court-plastcr. was given
black by the Observant shOpkeeper;
and he treasured up the incident, hop.
ing for an opportunity to initiate the
sharpness Of the dealer.
His opportunity came. One evening
c0mely colOred girl stepped into the
store where he was employed.
II wants some cou't.plaster." she
said.
"What color?" inquired the clerk,
with affected nonchalance.
"Flesh cullah. sah."
Trembling in his shoes, and keeping
within reach Of q heavy pestle. the
clerk handed the young woman q box
Of black court.plaster. He was sur.
prised at the time that the situation
afforded 80 little humOr. The girl
opened the box with deliberation
that was ominOus, but her face waa
unrufiied as she noted the color Of the
contents.
II CUES you mus a misunderstood
by ordah. ! asked for flesh cullah
and you done give me skin cullah." she
said.
The drug clerk Is said to be still q
little dazed, and he has firmly resolved
to subject every Joke to rigid labora
tory test hereafter before using.

HER HOUR OF TRIUMPH.
She Rejoiced When the Horse HAD
Kicked the buggy to Pieces.

She Rejoiced When the Horse HAD
Kicked the Buggy to Pieces.
Some neighbors and friends of ours
had horse called Alcade, says Horace
vachell in his interesting description
Of California life: and thereupOn he
goes on to relate an incident in which
.he horse played an important part.
Alcade was n most respectable horse,
but like all of MS he had his failing;
he would flick his tail over the relpe.
So one day my friend, when about to
take his wife out for a drive, tied down
Alcade's tail so tightly and securely
that not wigglc was left in 1t.
Now, it happened that only that
morning my friends wife had turned
on the water-water. you must under
stand, is a very precious article on
ranch in Southern Californla-and,
alas! she had neglected to turn 1t of.
So the water had flowed away; leaving
the family tank empty and cracking
beneath the ardent rays of the sun.
Conceive, II you can. the wrath Of
husband condemned by his wifes care
lessness to pump many hundreds OF
gallons of water! You may be sure
that he-he was an Englisnman-tOlG
his unhappy wife that she had com.
mitted the objectionable sin: and she,
poor soul. approaching the magnitude
of her offensc, held her peace which
is remarkable because she was a
daughter of the West.
Perhaps the husband was sorry that
he had spoken SO harshly. and thought
that drive behind fast trotter would
establish happier relations between the
two who should be one. BE that as II
may, after the drive was over he began
to unllarness Alcadc, his wife standing
by and talking to him.
The traces were unlocked, the
breeching- straps unbuckled, and then
Alcade was commanded to leave the
shafts; but Alcade. wise as Balaam's
ass, never stirred. for he knew that his
tail was still fast to the buggy. There.
upon my friend took the whip and ap.
piled It smartly to Alcade's hind quar-.
tiers.
Alcade, who had doubtless been nurs
Ing his wrongs all the afternoon, and
who saw his opportunity, as the law.
yers say. to show cause, retaliated by
kicking the buggy into heap Of kind
ling.wood.
My friends wife watched this per.
Torrance with interest, and when II
was over she turned to her husband
and said:
MY dear, after this shall turn on
the water and let 1t run as often and
as long as I please"

ception of Transactions in Copper
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The most note
worthy development in the market thi:
week has been the demand for stocks that
have long been classed as purely invest
ment issues. There has been unusually
heavy buying of Chicago and Northwest
ern issues, Delaware and Hudson, Lacka'
wanna, Great Northern and Northern
Central. All of them, except the last
named, closed materially higher today
than they did last Saturday. There has
also been an unusually active demand for
Pennsylvania and number of other
stocks, which, though largely of an in
vestment character, are at times dealt In
extensively by spectators.
The movements noted are significant
because they furnish indubitable evidence
that capital is being reattracted to Sc
curities This being the case, it is only
a question of time when the demand will
extend to issues that have substantial
prospects Of remaining upon the dividend
paying list. While there have been no
occurrences Of the first Importance affect
ing values, there has plainly been a
steady and noteworthy Improvement in
the general situation. Perhaps the most
important of these is the progress that is
being made toward Il readjus;ment and
settlement Of the railway situation in the
Northwest. The transportation industry,
as a whole, is enjoying great prosperity.
Notwithstanding the enormous volume
of business that is being transacted,
money continues easy at all commercial
centres, and collections, according to all
accounts. are unusually good.
The weekly statement of averages of the
associated banks shows a loss in lawful
money of 81 Al, GEO. or about s1,6oO, 600 less
than foreshadowed by yesterdays com
piation of the known movements of
money. The increase Of over 5000 600 in
the loans is doubtless due, in large part,
to the shifting of accommodations from
the foreign exchange market to the banks
The increase in deposits is very nearly
consistent with the two changes already
noted. The net result brings the surplus
reserve down to SIS, ,465, T75, which is more
than five times as large as 1t was year
ago and more than ten times as large
as two years ago The stock market was
exceedingly dull, except for unusual
transactions in Amalgamated Copper,
which were in excess of 10000 shares and
practically half of the total sales. 1t
closed within a shade of the highest
price, which showed a net gain of nearly
three points. The heaviest buying was
generally credited to Boston. In the re-
mainder Of the list Union Pacific common
was the only stock that was dealt in to
the extent of l0,OQp shares. Fluctuations
were very narrow. but the tone was firm
and the majority of the list closed frac-
tionally higher than last night. Ana
conda Mining Company moved in syInpa-
thy with Amalgamated Copper and there
were indications of a revival of interest
in American Locomotive issues. Illinois
Central was exceptionally strong and
there was a. further noteworthy advance
In Pere Marquette, on the purchase or
only 200 shares.

Clarence F. Norment is Washing
tonian by birth and for number of
years he has been a conspicuous figure in
its financial activities. He is of the third
generation of a family that has been
prominent in business and in finance here

comparatively young man and while
strict in business habits has genial, gen.
erous disposition and is well liked by

was educated at Western Maryland Col
lege. He became director of the Central
National Bank in 1891, after the death Of
his father. Samuel Norment, and since
that time his business interests have CEN
tired around this institution. He became
president of the bark in 1895, which posi-
ton he has since held. During his in
cumbency the bank has had large pros
perity, increasing its business largely, and
it now ranks as one Of the leading finan-
cial institutions of the District.

the Washington Stock Exchange and is
individually considerable holder in local
securities. When the Washington Bank
ers' Association was organized during the
past summer he was made its vice presi-

The stock market has been dull and un-

past week and in nearly all sections.
General business, on the other hand, is

the bank stateme at was poor one yes

factory and the outlook is for easy
money during the remainder of the year
These are the business conditions that
surround the market. Matters quite as
important are the developments in the
vast railway situation in the Northwest
and the plans Of the big insiders to d s
pose Of their holdings in stocks. which
are undoubtedly far larger than they
wish to have them In general, it may be
the interests in the Northwest are now
harmonious, and that developments will
all be favorable TO the stock market. An
other general statement is that the inn
portant people are without exception
anxious TO see the level of prices advance
again. Such being the conditions, there
are many shreSd market people that
will see an important upward movement
They state that the recent dullness in the
market does not argue against such q
boom, but rather for IL, as the money
market is not such that a boom at this
time could be engineered with safety
These people talk of the probability that
for the present there VIII be a confinu-
ence of the dull market, and they advise
the buying OF stocks on recessions.
