Miss Cerf's brother says Hobson pushed
her into the water so that he could pull
her out. The young lady says she
jumped in. 1t is hard on Hohson, but
what can he do If young women will take
chances on being drowned for the sake OF
being rescued by. him? &. It would be
harder for him to- stand the objurgations
he would get if he permitted a drowning
under: such circumstances than to stand
the ridicule and chatting he gets now.

DrFFERENT NEXT TIME

Wheaton GazeIte-Reporter.
It can be taken for granted that at the
next republican state convention the report
Of the committee on resolutions will be called
for and acted upon while all the delegates are
present to express their views. Had this
been done at the convention held last week
there lis little doubt but that the paragraph
referring to reciprocity with Cuba would
have been changed so as, to have clearly
and positively sustained the views of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the subject. The Cuban
reciprocity plank neither expresses the senti-
yment OF the convention nor that Of "a vast
majority OF the republicans OF the state.

The girl who wrote in this case was Miss
Sallie Sydenham, who had become seasoned
to the exactions of morning journalism, which
means work in the afternoon, in the gioam-
ing, at midnight and in the coming Of tho
dawn. Mr.. Dale draws somewhat over
wrought picture of a newspaper office at
night. Miss Sal1ie exists and she Is very
possible character. Humored in her sensa-
tionaI writing, nannish in demeanor and ex-
terror through daily association with men,
and somewhat careless in her dress, and
using slang as II 1t was her native language,
she was yet underneath her debonair and
daring exterior, woman deep down in, her
nature, with a quick and ready wit. facility
of expression, and even. brilliant at times
as talker She was by the city stan re-
garded somewhat in the hight OF a, heroine.
Miss Sydenham occupies, naturally, large
space. The paper valued her humor, pun
gency and brightness, and her dramatic criti-
cisms were eagerly read, especially. when she
took hold Of the Frenchiest Of French plays.
The climax In Miss Sydenham's career came
when she was given by the city editor an as
signment to interview the ex- actress. Mrs.
stuyyesant. There were reasons why she
did not want to gather the tangled ends OF
what was reported to be a very scandalous
affair. which might hit herself and some
newspaper, friends Her name was smirched
unjustly and she suffered the wretchedness
experienced by certain grouping Of circurn-
stances which seemed to FIX a stigma upon
the girl, who, in spite of her frtyolity,
bizarre dressing, slangy talk, proved to be
steeI-clad and unassai1ab1e in her virtue.
She had saved others from scandal by heroi-
cally permitting herself to be regarded as
guilty when she wasn't After 1t was all

Observation-Disclosures

1t is related by Mrs. Terton in her book
on hospital experience that there was once
at her cottage hospital rheumatic man
who suffered from intense depression, more
correctly characterized as acute melancholia.
The nurse tried to arouse him In every way
and amuse him. She finally resorted to books
and with much satisfaction she saw him
reading with fixed attention Three Men in
a Boat" from which he looked UP with a
broad grin, saying: II do think they be three
rum 'uns." From that moment he began to
get we'll. and in short time left the hospi-
tai robust and jubilant man. -
We must take Mrs. Terton's word for this
story. It Is absolutely probable. 1t was
simply matter of diverting mans atten-
ton from himself, and the nurse hit upon the
proper story with which It could be accom-
plished. Had she given him ''Young's Night
Thoughts" or Mrs. Groves might Side Of
Nature" or Mr.. Pidgin's "Blennerhassett,"
or the Life Of William Jennings Bryan"
Corellis "Barabbas," or Arthur's Ten Nights
in Barroom and What Saw There" there
is little doubt that the patient would have
lapsed into syncope or shown symptoms Of
dementia and no human power could have
saved him. "Three Men in Boat" proved to
be the proper medicine. Stockton's THE

TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's report on trade lasc
week says:
Satisfaction with the old and re-
neWed confidence in the new year are
the dominant features in the new
industrial, commercial and financial
situation. The week has naturally
been quiet to the verge of dullness as
regards new business, the main atten-
tion being concentrated in gathering
up the threads of old business, in stock
taking and in preparations for the flu
ture.
A conspicuous exception TO the gen.
eral quietness is found in the iron and
steel situation, which gains rather
than loses activity. Here, however, the
car shortage question cuts a disturb
ing figure and one which, in view OF
the advanced stage of the season, bids
fair to continue to unsettle both pro-
duction and consumption considerably.
The only appearance of weakness in
finished products is in wire and nails,
which are 50 per ton lower, owing to
increased competition of outside
makers.
Prices show few changes on the
week. The cereals are on the whole
higher, due mainly to the strength OF
wheat, which still supports the coarser
grains. Small deliveries and firm ca
bles, with some better export buying
early, checked later by the advance,
coupled with good buying by the coun-
try, are the strengthening features.
Winter wheat crops are in the main
features.
Quietness is the feature in leather
and kindred trades, but an excess rath-
er than loss in strength of price is
looked for. Shoe shipments are small
er than of late, but still are in excess
Of year ago.
Copper has been again cut, this time
to II cents for lake, and tin is also
lower, while lead is unchanged. Brass
has been lowered to meet the decline in
copper.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
the week, aggregate 4,816,741 bushels,
as against 1921 ,543 bushels last week,
and 3,914,301 bushels in this week last
yea.
Business failures In the United
States for the week number 270, as
against 219 last week, and 268 this
week last year.
For the week, Canadian failures
number %, against 16 last week.

Pekin, Jan. 9.-The imperial court en-
tered the Forbidden City at l:30 in the
afternoon. 1t was the most brilliant
scene Pekin ever witnessed The process
sion consisted of a thousand gorgeously
attired noblemen mounted upon glitter
ingly caparisoned horses. The emperor,
the empress dowager, Prince Chun, the
empress and several princesses were borne
in yellow chairs, their escorts carrying
hundreds of gay banners and silk UNI
brellas. The troops of General Yuan Shi-
kai, governor of Pe-chi-li, preceded the
emperor The foreign community assem-
bled on top of the Chen gate.
The emperor and empress entered the
temple at the gate and burned incense.
The dowager empress, upon emerging
from the temple, saw the foreigners peer
ing down, and bowed. A double row of
soldiers, kneeling, lined the four mile
route.
