Wanted "A,bestos" Blooms.

The yearly distribution of arbutus
from the Milwaukee newspaper Of
fees has been a much appreciated
feature. There is one person, at
least. on whom the custom and
flower made a lasting impression.
He wanted to be sure of his share
this year, so he said to friend who
might be of some use in the case:

The Swiss Language.

We sometimes hear that the French
language has less vitality than some
others, and it is in particular pointed
out to what an extent it is giving way
to English and German. Some figures
just published do not, however, bear
out this, in the case, at any rate, of
Switzerland, where French, German
and Italian are all spoken. In 1888 the
number of persons speaking German
in the Helvetian republic was 2,Os3 ,097;
those speaking French 634,613. and
those speaking Italian 155, 100. At the
recent census it was found that the
position had changed considerably.
There are now, according to the Off
cial figures, 2,319,1O5 persons whose
language is German, 1920 who speak
French, and 222,247 w'o use the lam
guage of Dante. Certain cantons APP
pear in particular to be giving up the
use of German. In Neufchatel, where
formerly $4,000 persons spoke that
tongue, there are now only 1900

PEASANT AND PROWLER.
An Ordinary Tale with n Moral That
Is Made to Correspond
with 1t.

One night, as the Peasant was sound
ly sleeping after hard days work, he
was awakened by his wife, who in
formed him that a Prowler was skulk-
ing in the cucumber patch, relates the
Detroit Free Press.
"Oh, WE'LL" replied the Peasant, "he
will be as apt to select poor ones as
good ones in the darkness, and why
should we worry?"
"But he is now among the melons"
"'Tis well. If he bears off green
melons the joke will be on him."
"And now he has passed to the cab
bages."
But no man can bear away more
than six heads, and we can well spare
that number"
But he is now about to break into
the stable!" persisted the wife.
woman, why distress myself? The
stable has long been empty of all ex-
cept rats"
"But upon my soul, Joshua, he is
now coming to the house, and we shall
all be murdered in our beds!"
"You are wrong again. He does not
seek blood, but money. l will open
the door and hand him out what 1
have"
The Peasant suited his action to his
words, and as the Prowler disappeared
in the darkness his wife walled out:
"Alasl that thief should have
profted by our hard TOLL"
"And alas some more for thy want
of philosophy" sighed the husband.
what gave him was that bogus dol
lar got stuck with in Buffalo the other
day. The first time he tries to pass 1t
he is sure to be arrested, and his
troubles will be our consolation"

Standard Oil stock has had a slump
of So points since the declaration of

1t fell off II points on transactions
late yesterday. and to-day at / o'clock
had recorded an additional decline Of
is points.
The trading vas in odd lots, amount

Instead of taxing he dividend dec

As per cent in dividends this year, the
rate that was paid last year, and the
big decline followed.
Thus far this year Standard Oil has
declared three dividends of $40, $40 and
S. per share, or a total for the nine
months of S35 a share.
To equal last years record 1t Will have
to pay another dividend OF sl3 a share IN
December, and apparently the street
doubts the ability OF John D.. Rockefeller
to squeeze that much more protit out of
the big trust between now and the last

50 closely is the stock held that a de-
cline of 80 points in two days has no out
side effect whatever.
A paper loss of ver 100000 TO the
