Eth were being lashed, side by side,
and straining every nerve. AS they
came under the wire IL was almost inn
possible to tell which was ahead, and

track, impatient to learn the result.
Cheers and yells added to the confusion,
so the mounted patrols were ordered to
clear the course. 1t was deemed ad-

THE MARKETS..
Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept. 26.--1he tone of today's stock
market showed growing improvement over that OF
yesterday There was considerable evidence Of
realizing STILL which persisted after the opening
dip aud showed tendency to rcuur from time
to time but support was forthcoming on every
decline and before the day ended the brokers were
generally disposed to cover their short lines cas.
ing practically complete recovery of all losses,
Not few stocks showed decided net gains, in.
cludlng AnJlgamated Copper. Anaconda the
Nanderbilts, Pennsyl lvania, Baltimore and Ohio.
St. Paul Manhattan and Peoples Gas The
opening losses were due to the dcmotaziug ef.
feet upon copper mining shares in the foreign
markets Of the break in Amalgamated Copper.
Rio Tfntos were of over three points in Paris
when the stock market opened here, and the COP.
per market in London had made a further slump.
London poured ont stocks freely upon the New
York market in liquidation making the opening
active and weak. IL became evident that support
was TO be accorded to Amalgainatcd Copper and
Anaconda. Only 100 shares OF the former and 600
shares OF the latter sold at Il below last nights
closing. All subsequent transactions were at or
above last nights level The active demand
from the shorts caused Anal gamated Copper to
recover more than yesterdays loss and the stock
closed only Is below the best Anaconda is 31i
higher for the day. The relief to sentiment af-
fordcd by the recovery in Amalgamatcd over.
shadowed all other considerations. The severe
liquidation in some Of the railroad stocks, which
was feature yesterday, was not in evidence aud
the fears felt of unisyorable developments in the
companies not yet known to the public were re.
licved The selling was explained as being due
TO liquidation by bull pools. The very favorable
reports Of the iron trade outlook, including the
rise in the price Of pig iron aud assertions that
large orders for steel rails would go over to next
wear, was sccepted az cheering indication.

THE LAND OF STORY BOOKS.

At evening when the lamp is lit,
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing,
And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun / crawl,
All in the dark along the wall,
And follow round the forest track,
Away behind the sofa back.
There in the night, where none can
spy.
All in my hunters camp l lie,
And play at books that | have read
Till it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these are the
woods,
These are the starry solitudes;
And there the river by whose brink
The roaring lions come to drink.
see the others far away,
AS IL in the fire-lit camp they lay,
And |, like to an Indian scout,
Around their party prowled about.
So when my nurse comes in for me,
Home l return across the sea,
And go to bed with backward looks
At my dear land of story books.

Mckinley Quite Like
Our Own Little Boys.

The boys played ball ON the common
behind the seminary.
Practically, the McKinleys were
very strong abolitionists, and William
early imbibed very radical views re-
garding the enslavement of the
colored race. AS mere boy he used
to go to tannery kept by Joseph
Smith and engage in warm contro-
versies on the slavery question. Mr..
Smith was democrat and so were
several of the workmen about the
tannery. These disputes never seemed
to have occasioned any ill-feeling to-
ward William, because he was always
popular with the very men with
whom he had the most controversy.
First Days From Home.
This fact was shown by his being
selected as clerk at the little post
Office. AS William grew older he de-
yeloped fondness for the society of
young men. This was encouraged by
me. He had Always shown great affec-
ton for his sisters, often preferring,
as boy, to remain indoors with them
on holidays rather than to join in
sports with other boys on the com
mon.
His boyhood days ended when he
left home to go to the war. That took
him out into the world in the broad
est sense. Except for a few weeks
spent at Allegheny this his first alb
from homo xuoc cnanf in N, =,
of war.
What do | regard as essential in
bringing up boy to be president?
| can scarcely say; there are so
mary things to teach boys. They
sh could be taught to be honest in deal
ing with their fellow men. They
should win the respect and conf
dence of all. Then boys should be
brought up to love home, if you want
to make good men or presidents,
either, of them.
The home training, such as is in
culcated in the true American home,
is great safeguard to the lads of this
country. Boys, to be good men,
must be good TO their parents. Any
boy who wants to be president should
be honest and truthful, and he should
love his home, his family and his
country.
No boy will ever be president who
is afraid of hard work. l think re-
ligion is great benefit to a boy. |
know William was a bright boy and a
good boy, but l never dreamed that he
would be president of the United
States.
After all, don't believe did raise
the boy to be president. l tried to
bring up the boy to be a good man,
and that is the best that any mother
can do. The first thing | knew, my
son turned around and began to raise
me to be the mother of president.
