An Old Friends Origin.

In his "Cigarett Papers" in The Peo-
pie, Joseph Hatton gives the origin of the
term chestnut as applied to a venerable
Joke. There is a play called The Broken
sword Two characters in ii have a
scene in which one Capt, Zavier, a sort
of Baron Munchausen, is interrupted in
a story by his friend Babo, The Cap
TAIN relating his exploits, says, Il en-
tered the woods of Galloway when sud
denly from the thick boughs of a cork
tree"-Pablo interrupts him with the
words, "A chestnut Captain, a chestnut"
say a cork tree" "A chestnut" reite-
rates friend Pablo. Il should know as
well as you, having heard you tell the
story these twenty-seven times"

HOW 1T CAME.

A witch a fairy and an eli q
Met, long ago, 10 find. i,
To brew, TO ooujure or TO mine
plague for humankind.
They brought from far below the ground
A mighty magic pot;
They piled it round with hazel boughs
And made it seething hot.
The witch poured poison Jealousy,
With incantations grim;
Tfen watched it boil and bubble up
Half TO the caldron's brim.
The eli brought sorrows token tears;
The laughing fay came last,
And all her blossom sprays OF Joy
Were in the caldron cast.
Dan Cupid CHANGED to spy it all
While straying through the grove;
lie dipped his arrows, every one,
And called the mixture Glove"
Gladys Hyatt in Leslie's Monthly

For something like 100 years and more
the small group of islands fifty miles to
the south of Panama, known as the
Pearl Islands," have been famous for
their remarkable yield of pearls and
coral.
The Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flag
ship at Manila, is undergoing a great
change at the Charlestown navy yard
When she leaves the navy yard next
August, after a stay of twenty-five
months, she will be a new ship from stem
to stern, as far as her interior fittings
are concerned.

THE DeBUTANTE.

They put the relics of hundred years
Within her ears,
And on her silken gown some rare old lace
They deity place.
They hang a fortune on her throbbing breast,
An old bequcst,
And on her feet are slippers worn before
In days Of yore.
About her arms the glistening bracelets shoT
OF long ago;
Beneath a coronet, so old and rare,
They bind her hair
And under all this record of past days
There softly plays
A girlish heart that truly yearns to be
Forever free,
And love is there and beams within her eyes
And feryent cries;
"Ah, heart! Our time will surely come at last,
When this is past.
The world looks only at the gems you wear;
Ah heart! Take care!'
-Montrose j. Moses in Life.

UNION PACIFIC
Again Furnished the Sensation Of The Stock
Market

New York, May 1.-UriOn Pacific
again furnished the sensation of the
stock market today and the movement
of that stock and of stocks correlated
with it in the speculation dominated
the market practically all day. The
stock showed good gain in the open
ing and was firmly maintained ali
through the period of sharp reaction
when the enormous profit taking had
borne down prices after the opening.
This reaction had become very general
when Union Pacific began to advance
by strides and on succession of buy
ing orders. The advance was pretty
steady by fractions up to about 1913, but
from that point the advance became
wild. Finally the price touched 1923.
From that point stock fell back by fe-
verish fluctuations to 1923. In the
course of the afternoon, however, I'm
ion Pacific renewed its advance. A
very notable buying of Northern Paci-
tic supplemented this movement. The
greaC speculative movement was re
sumd, the participants showing undi-
minished industry in seeking out new
points of strength and bringing about
a general resumption of strength I'm
inon Pacific's late advance carried 1t
up to 1870, an extreme rise of thre.
points, and New York Central touched
169A, a gain of 5A. Northwest
gained 5H on the day.
These advances were apparently
sympathetic and gave color to the sup
position that the Vanderbilts had Sc
cured control of the Union Pacific
There were periods of strength today
among the Coalels, especially the
Readings, railroads in the southern
region, the Wabash, Mexican Central,
Baltimore and Ohio. Illinois Central
Western Union, L. S. Leather, Glucose,
Peoples Gas, Hooking Valley, Inter
national Power, General Electric and
number of minor stocks.
The days business fell half a mil
lion shares below yesterdays level, U.
S. Steel stocks, though continuing
very active, moved narrowly, except
for the dip after the opening. The
large business in the bonds is largely
accounted for by extraordinary deal
ings and price fluctuations in Union
Pacifics convertible fours. in SYM
pathy with the stock. Otherwise the
market was moderately active and
strong. U. S. IS declined a per cent.
