Government Bonds.

A reaction of some Importance occurred
in the stock market yesterday. During
the morning hours prices held up excel
lently despite heavy realizing, hut later
in the day the bears turned the scale and
there were recessions averaging a point
or more in ali the active securities be-
fore the close, which for the most part
was at the lowest level of the session.
1t is not yet apparent how much signi-
ficance should be attached to the recess
sion. 1t may be the end of the advance
for the present and the beginning of
downward movement to extend a long
way and cover the period of tight money
that is now near at hand. Or on the con-
trary, it may be only such a reaction as
should be looked for in every advancing
market, thing of a day to be forgotten
quickly in the following strong market
Up to the present time, however, there
is very little to offer in the way of bear
iSh argument against the many good
things in the situation that favor
further advance. So much at least may
be said regarding the probability of the
outcome.

1t will be seen that the average increase
was about $3.50 a month. March was
the inauguration month, which accounts
for the extremely large increase in that
month On the other hand, the losses in
some of the earlier months were caused
by what was probably an unprecedented
amount of wet weather. The net gain
of sl4.5Gc for the half year Is said by the
company to be rather under than over
the normal on account of this wet
weather. The figures are encouraging.
The earnings of the first half of the year
are never nearly as large as those OF the
last half and yet the company earned in
the period several thousand dollars more
than enough to pay the half years inter
est and dividends. The total of the in
tercst and dividend charges for a half
year are s26l, 600, which, subtracted from
s290,S7S. leaves surplus for the half year
of $2S.71S. The July earnings and the
August earnings up to the present time
exceed the figures for last year some
thing like 300 a month, it Is said. The
July business was the largest on record.

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house OF Walter Baker & Co..
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was estab-
lished one hundred and twenty
years ago (17S0) on the Neponset river
in the old town Of Dorchester, a suburb
of Boston. From the little wooden
mill. "by the rude bridge that arched
the food" where the enterprise was
first started. there has grown up the
largest industrial establishment Of the
kind In the world. 1t might be said
that, while other manufacturers come
and go, Walter Baker & Co., go on for
ever.
What is the secret Of their great sue
cess? It is a very simple one. They
have won and held the confidence OF
the great and constantly increasing
body OF consumers by always main
tanning the highest standard in the
quality of their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles Of good quality can be put
upon the market. They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel justified
in denouncing in the strongest terms
the fraudulent methods by which in
ferior preparations are palmed off on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting the genuine articles.
The best grocers refuse to handle such
goods, not alone for the reason that,
in the long run, 1t doesn't pay to do 1t,
but because their sense of fair dealing
will not permit them to aid In the sale
of goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package Of the goods made by
the Walter Baker Company bears the
well-known trade mark La Belle
Chocolatiere." and their place Of manu-
facture Dorchester, Mass" House
keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.

There was a regular houseful OF
Dawsons in the little, low, red house
which stood all by itself on the edge
OF the village; there were six children
who called the little house their home.
and six noisier happier. heartier chill
dren were never known. There were
the twins. Fred and Frank. who head
ed the list, and then there were Grace
and Nellie and Harry. and last of all
came Minnie. the baby, the tiniest and
noisiest of them all.
There were great plans afoot today
In the curly heads of the merry crowd.
Tomorrow would be Decoration Day.
and were not the four Oldest of the
young Dawsons to march in the long
procession of school children and carry
garlands and bouquets of flowers to
strew on the graves of our soldier
heroes? There were the flowers to
hunt In the woods, for the Dawson
flower garden showed only two flaming
red and yellow tulips and few fra
grant lilacs as Its offering to the chill
dren. But that fact troubled them not
at all; they were only too glad OF an
excuse for spending long. delightful
day In the woods. There would be the
garlands to make and bouquets to ar
range and pieces to rehearse and
thousand and one other things to do;
so 1t was no wonder that all the little
Dawsons were up and flying around as
busy as bees at an exceedingly early
hour. Even the baby was interested.
and toddled around tipping over every
thing she could and getting into

So much hustle and hustle made
them little bit cross. perhaps, and so
1t turned out that there was slight
disagreement between Grace and Nell
lie and the twins early in the morn
ing. and as each side added fuel to the
flames, in the shape of sharp words
and angry frowns, by the time they
were ready to start for the woods the
quarrel had grown to be something
serious. The boys had been very pro-
voking, and the girls were so angry
with them that they decided to take
the lunch basket and hurry away
when the boys were not looking, and
thus take revenge upon them for all
the mean things they had said and
done that morning. Their plan worked
to perfection and they got safely away
without being seen by anyone; but,
someway, they did not look very
happy in their triumph. as they
iruaged silently along. They walked
quite slowly as soon as they once were
out of sight of the house. instead Of

Alma Maynard sat at the window,
looking thoughtfully out at the newly
budded trees. Poor Alma had been

Battle with Young Corbett.

Terry McG0vern I'm Fine Shape for His
Battle with Young Corbett.
After eight days of hard training for his
battle with Young Corbett," of Denver,
Col, tomorrow, Terry McGovern took
ten-nile run in the vicinity of Jerome Park
New York, yesterday afternoon, and de-
spite the fact that 1t was freezing cold, with
a strong wind blowing, he covered the dis
lance In ninety minutes. When he reached
his training quarters he was examined by
physician. who declared that the little
champion was in perfect trim for the COM
ing contest.
Several people have informed McGovern
that in Young Corbett" he will meet the
toughest and most rugged opponent of his
ring career. He replied to several questions
to how he felt:
Bully; never felt better in my life. and
While l have taken no chances and have
gotten into the best condition, 1 feel very
confident of the result. They tell me Cor
bett is two-handed. swift. rushing fighter
on my own style and l hope he is, for then
neither he nor l will have any excuses to
make when the end comes"
McGovern tipped the scale at 122 pounds
yesterday and he said that with a road
run today he would finish up his training
and break up camp prior to his leaving for
Hartford. He expects to reach the ring
side weighing not more than 124 pounds.
