STILL THE PROCESSION MOVES ON.

STILL THE PROCESSION MOVES ON.
And still the procession moves on, moves
on.
Rich man, poor man, beggarman,
thief"
Husting and iostline, with faces wan;
Dining with laughter to sup with grief:
Each Of us smiling to hide his care;
Each of US weeping his part 10 play;
BENDING beneath the burdens We bear;
Journeyers all on the great highway.
And the same little mound in the end, in
the end
For sweetheart and lover, for foeman and
friend,
And the same waving grasses to whisper
and bend,
While still the procession moves on.
While still the procession moves on, moves
OH,
building our castles. we hope and
dream
And the red robe OF pleasure we cheerly
don,
And dance In our joy like a mote in its
beam.
We hurry and jostle--more room. more
room!
Room for the palace that ] shall build
Till Voice is heard, and its word is
And the dreams are buried, the hopes
are stlled.
And the same little mound In the end, In
the end
For the billiards who break and the sages
who mend
And the same spectre Death his pallor to
lend,
While stii the procession moves on.
While stil the procession moves on,
moves on,
Gods, how we cling TO our pleasure and
gold
Gayest companions grow weary and wan;
Stll to life's tinsel we ceaselessly hold,
Here Is our palace. the palace of wealth:
This is our castle the castle OF fame:
Building by force or building by stealth;
Fighting with shadows, our shadow to
claim.
And the same little mound at the last, at
the last,
After the dreams ana the hurry are past.
And the same weary faces with Wilderness
DER cast.
While still the procession moves on.

COLD WEATHER IS NEEDED
Would Stimulate the Retail Trade
Lumber still ACTIVE.

Lumber still ctiva.
New York, Nov. 1-Bradstreet's Nov. Is
will say of the state of trade:
Trade. industry and transportation con-
tinue active, despite drawbacks caused by
warm weather, scarcity of fuel and car
and motive power shortages. Cold wealth
er is needed to stimulate consumption Of
heavy winter goods from retailers hands
whatever complaint there is heard regard
ing collections being attributed to this
cause. Activity with jobbcrs has owing to
advanced stage Of the season been trans
terred from regular staple lines to holiday
goods. These latter are in exceptionally
active demand, the outlook being that dis
trlbution far in excess of any previous
! year will be realized. Speculative dullness
is mainly responsible for cearings not
showing larger gains over last week and
! for the slight decrease in notes for a year
! ago. Reports that money is beginning to
return from the country come from west
ern points, but no large movement Is look
ed for until well on into December.
At Eastern centres jobbing business has
naturally quieted somewhat. Cotton goods
are firm while wooden goods are quiet and
prices remain firm.
The lumber trade is still quite active
The boot and shoe business Is in good
shape. Some shading in hide prices is re-
ported at Boston.
| Sharp differences are noted in the iron
and steel trade accordingly as the cruder
or more highly finished forms are consid-
! cred.
Butter and cheese showed ssasonabls
advances. and crude and refined petroleum
has continued the upward movement noted
for some weeks past.
| The -four market is apparently in good
shape,
business failures for the week ending
Thursday. November Is, were 205 as
against liS last week, and 2l3 in this week
| last year.

for the Legislature to complete it's work
before THANKSGIVING the members ought
to be allowed to go home 'once in
while" This motion was strenuously OPP
posed by Senators Emery, Walbridge and
Brownell the latter calling attention to
the fact every Saturday thus far and most
of the day Monday the Senate has not been
in session. The motion was defeated by a
yea and nay vote of 10 to IA.
The Senate this afternoon thought bet
ter of its vote refusing to adjourn over
Saturday. Both houses adopted resolu-
tons that when they adjourn this after
noon it be until Monday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
Mr. Place Of Jay was heard from In the
House for the first time this morning when
he introduced a bill appropriattng $1,000
for the relief of the town of jay because
of damages by the spring floods to high
ways and bridges.
AUTOMOBILE CAN GO FASTER
The House on Thursday refused to con-
cur III a Senate proposal of amendment to
TIE bill regulating the speed Of automo-
biles but this morning reconsidered its
vote and concurred in the amendment.
The original bill provided that the speed
of automobiles outside of cities and incor-
porated villages should not exceed II
miles per hour and the proposal of the
Senate was to amend this to 10 miles per
hour. The House was of tho opinion that
it was better to concur In this proposal OF
amendment than to run the risk of having
the bill fail to become law, inasmuch as
there Is now on the statute books no law
bearing upon the subject.

Lower prices for railway stocks than at
any time since last March do not neces-
sarily indicate loss of traffic nor a set
back in business. On the contrary, coin
cident with the collapse of the stock mar
ket. there were numerous evidences that

mands, although plants and equipments
are now of greater efficiency than at any
previous time. Distribution of merchant

quent complaints of tardy deliveries test
ify to the heavy consumption. Prospects
for continued activity are bright because
of unprecedented harvests, prosperity in
the agricultural sections assuring a good
demand for other products Threatened
labor controversies have been averted in
some cases, wages being advanced while
a number of increases were voluntarily
given. High temperature retards retail
trade in seasonable goods.
~ few anthracite pig iron furnaces have
resumed, but a greater number of coke
furnaces were blown out A further cur
tallment of furnace stocks took the sup
ply down to very low point. Aside from
the expected decline in prices of pipe and
tubes there has been no evidence of weak
ness ana all the recent concessions were
caused by competition Of new plants
rather than diminished business. Many
purchasers are delaying orders. however,
in the hope that the market will go lower
in other departments, but there is abnor-
mai support in the light movement of
coke. Rail mills are fully booked up TO
next September and Canadian road

A NEW STATION POSSIBLE
Rutland Railroad Ready to Make Some
improvements a. Bellows Falls

Bellows Falls, Nov. 13.-Thc railroad
commissioners upon petition of the board
Of trade met here last evening, the hear
ing continuing this forenoon. Both the
Boston & Maine and Rutland railroads
were represented by officials and counsel
and the contention of the Bellows Falls
board of trade for a new depot was pre-
sented. At the conclusion of the hearing the
commissioners took the case under advise
nent and reserved their decision. From
statements made by the members of the
commission II is regarded as certain that
they have no power under the law as they
construe it to order a change in location
The Rutland management offered plans
for enlarging and repairing the present
structure which will make the building
adequate for the present needs Of Bellows
Falls, and expressed a willingness to make
the changes at once.
1t is generally thought that this plan
will be carried out and that on account of
the large expense involved the board OF
trades plan for both change of location
and an entirely new depot will be rejected
by the railroads interested.

A COMMON MISTAKE.
Increase of Observation-Disclosures Does
Not Mean Increasing Eye Failure.
American Medicine.

NJ. lie ROux, French lecturer, speak
Il had but one regret as 1 looked down
into their faces. 1 saw too many spectacles.
They have worked their eyes so hard that
their sight is failing. They should not let
their love for knowledge impair their
vision"
The newspapers without medical advisers
have begun to echo this inane remark and
in the next month it will probably be re-
printed a thousand times. American ocu-
lists will think of the famous correction of
the dictionary definition of a crab. 1t had
been given as "a small, red fish which trav-
els backward" and was pronounced by the
scientist correct, with the exception that
the crab Is not a fish, not red, and does
not travel backward So in the case of NJ.
lie RouX's Americans, they have not
worked their eyes harder than other ma
tons, their love for knowledge has not i'm
paired their vision, and their sight is not
failing. Tout au contraire, our eyes are far
less diseased than those of Europeans who
have yet to learn that proper spectacles
prevent more serious ocular and also much
systematic disease. Our people have good
leather shoes instead of going barefoot or
wearing sabots, but the fact is not proof
that our feet are weaker or more diseased
than those of the French peasant They
also have secured scientific care of their
teeth, but that does not prove that carious
teeth are superior to filled" ones, or that
no teeth are preferable to artificial ones. NJ.
lie RouX's ophthalmology shows ths t
French ophthalmologists should cross the
ocean and take postgraduate course in
American ophthalmology.
