A VERY PLEASANT OCCASION.
Employees Enjoy Again the Hospitali : ties of Their Employer

The many employees of the I. New man company corset factory on Oak street were yesterday afternoon given their annual treat of ice cream and cake and other refreshments. This oc- casion is one of much pleasure and is always thoroughly enjoyed by all who participate. Yesterdays event was none the less enjoyable than any pre- vious affair and the several hundred people will long remember the event. It has been MT. Newman's custom for some years to favor his employees in this manner and his efforts are always appreciated. Beside, the feasting there were numerous speeches in which oc- casion was taken to express the thanks of all the participants and of MT. New mans generous attitude toward those in his factory. It is one of the factors which have made him so successful in business that his employees are always treated with respect and kindly and courteously. Many felicitations were expressed on MT. Newman's success and employer and employe both profited by the social season.

THE STOCK MARKET.
No Improvement in Activity, but the
 Tone Was Firmer.

Tone Was Firmer.
 New York. Aug. 13.-There was no improvement in tl.e activity of the trading in the stock market. but the tone was frmer and did not reflect the disposition to 1iquidate on all advances which was a feature of yesterdays market. For the most part, however, the representative stocks were neglect ed and sluggish. The Gould stocks were the most conspicuous in the trading, Missouri Pacific leading in point of activity. There were heavy dealings, also, in all of the Wabash securities and in Texas and Pacific. Brokers who have been active in these stocks for a lcng time past were responsible for most of the operations. The southwest ern railroads are expected to gain a special benefit from the large corn crop and the winter wheat crop in that ter ritory is also in a~high average condi- tiOn. The Wabash stocks were espec- ially affected by reports of aggressive steps being taken to secure terminal fa- cilities both in Pittsburg and in Balti- more for the use of Wabash's eastern extensions. There were persistent ru- mors as we'll as intention on the part of the Norfolk and Western directors to advance the dividend rate on that stock. The settlement of the demand of the Elevated railroad engineers helped Manhattan and the Goulds as a group. The National Lead stocks responded to the reports of a combination of all of the lead interests of the country Unit ed States Steel shot ID s on the news of an additional distribution of $10,000,- 900 profits to the underwriting syndicate thus bringing the total distribution up to $30 000,00 on actual paid in subscrip- tions of $25,0O0,OOO. The stock relapsed quickly into comparative inactivity, but with a fractional gain retained. The aggressive steps being taken on behalf of the Northern Securities company to clear up litigation against that corpora ton and the hopeful views expressed of it's earnings by James J. Hill give the impression that active steps are pending towards a distribution of the stock. Among the weak features Amalgamat- ed Copper was affected by the unstable tone of the raw copper market. The price of Rock Island was supposed to be lowered with view to discourage the disposition of minority holders to liqui- date their holdings rather than consent to the conversion plan. Funds were more freely offered on call to-day and the rate was easier. The active export demand for wheat encouraged the offer ing of exchange bills, and the rate for sterling showed no recovery from yes terdays decline. The closing was quite active and irregular.
 Wabash debenture Bs were the feat ure of the bond market. The Central of George 2d incomes were also in demand. Total sales par value $2,710000. U. S. bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

That cluster In fragrance quite close

And I'll tell thee secret thou must

There is in the branches high over

A round little nest that's soft as thy

And over 1t hovers the sweet wife
I've wed.
And what do you spose is tucked

But four very wonderful, beautiful

For which the sweet mother bird

They are four dainty eggs which

In each egg there's baby bird hid

Increase of Glaciers,

For the last FIVE years physical
geographers have been giving a great
deal of attention to the study of glac.

ed them very much is whether since
the beginning of the historic period
the glaciers of the world have aug
mented or diminished in area. No
perfectly definite information with
regard to this question has been OBJ.
tanned, though some general conclu.
sions have been reached. It is ira.
ditional in the Alps, however, and
some other regions that valleys now
occupied by glaciers were formerly
pasture lands. On the whole. IL is
certain that for several centuries till
quite recently there was a gradual
/ increase in the area of glaciation.
Glaciers everywhere are In state
of continual movement--they are con.
stantly increasing in length or short.

course, the cause Of the oscillations,
though the influence of climatic upon

be considerably further advanced than

The Children Don't Find II Hot.

Have you ever noticed" asked a
thoughtful citizen, "how few children
ever complain of the heat? Grown
people grumble at the hot weather
from morning till highland all night
too. for that matter, but you seldom
hear a child say that he or she is
too hot. Boys and girls play all day
long-and play is hard work, some of
it-they run from morning till night
children seldom sit down-but they do
not take time to abuse the weather.
A boy will drink unlimited water
every time he gets chance; he can
eat watermelon until he almost ex-
plodes, and can cover three ice cream
sodas at sitting: but you never hear
him say he is tired of hot weather.
The little girls, too. are great water
drinkers-they prefer ice cream to all
cool beverages, however, and love to
parade with their little parasols and
fans; rarely, though, are they ever
heard to wish 1t was not so warm.

more patient than their elders, or
are they merely SO profoundly in

A Pigeons Mothers Wrath.

The pigeon breeder stood In his pig
con yard and in the blue sky above
him hundred OF his birds flew this
way and that. did you ever see a
mother pigeon whipping little one?'
the breeder asked. well, that Is a
funny sight. The mother makes low,
quick sound in her throat, for all the
world like You bad child! You bad
child!' and then she beats the SQUAD
over the head with her wings. The
squab squeals; the scene suggests q
human mother boxing her child's
ears. Sometimes the father interferes.
I think, Mary he says. you have
punished the poor child enough, and
with reproachful manner he should
ers his wife gently away. 1t Is usu-
ally her fault, you know, and she has
no business to get angry. For the
trouble all arises over the squads feed
ing, when the mother puts the food
in its mouth with her bill. The SQUAD,
being hungry, shuts down on the food
too soon and hurts mamma. But she
shouldn't get angry, for the little fell
low hasn't hurt her ON purpose.'--

We'll. what have you got to say?"
replied the dog, after barking at n
tramp who was passing along the high
way,
What do you know about coons?"
mot much, except that they are
fond of new corn"
Then I'll tell you few things. The
coon is not as good a climber as the
wildcat, but there is no tree in the
forest he cannot ascend in pretty quick
time. About the only enemy he has
is man, and man seeks him for his
pelt If the coon made his home in
hollow log or a burrow il would bt
easy for man to find him; but he Is
too sharp for that. His house is al
ways In the hollow of tree. and some
times fifty feet above the ground"
But the hunter can catch him when
he comes down. said the Cog.
