early market showed some irregularity,
but the prominent stocks We're firmly
held and the selling was Chiefly in the
Moderate buying of Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island advanced those stocks .1a2
points, and there was some disposition
to cover later in the Specialties, bringing
the entire market above last night.
Colorado Fuel was lifted Ok above yes
terday's close, but dealings We're unlm-
portant in the other metal stocks except
Amalgamated Copper, which showed mo-
mentary strength. There was some re-
newal Of the recent demand for inactive
stocks, but material advances were con-
fined to Pacific Coast common and the
second preferred, Westinghouse Electric,
Minneapolis and ST. Louis and Pacific
Mail, the latter being bought on account
of the renewed agreem ent with the Pana-
ma Railroad Company.
The publication of the bank statement,
showing a cash loss of nearly 50, 600, 00O
which more than doubled the preliminary
list. Prices, however, d,d not yield much
except in some of tho stocks which had
notably advanced earlier, and there was
no decided pressure at any point. Some
satisfaction was felt at the loan reduce
ton of $3000,000, this being the first in
nearly two months. The imm ediate cash
loss was quite generally attributed to the
vaEaries of the bank statement system.
With surplus reserves down to less than
$4,000 900, and the gold export movement
unchanged, the opinion naturally prevails
that higher money rates are imminent.

PIE.

The fact that the New York
Sun has a correspondent who
wishes to get himself into
trouble by trespassing on
the patent rights held by the
Columbia States and the
Charlotte Observer to discuss
pie and poetry, induces us to
remind our esteemed contem-
poraries that this correspon-
dent has introduced the Mo.
ravian pie, and says it is the
Boss, In fact it is so good
that Dom Pedro once ex.
claimed:
Oh, for one more piece Of pie
Before die.
We do not know if Dom
Dom got it, but we hope he
did, for a reward was justly
his for allowing his soul to so
enthusiastically drop itself
into poetry.
But, speaking Of pie and
the other p-poetry, will eth
er of our contemps or the Sun
correspondent, tell us why it
is so hard for a man to leave
the official pie? And why it
tastes so good that there is no
desire on the part of the eat
or to give his little brother a
bite?
One more pie is the cry
Or I'll die;

WHERE HIS FRIENDS MET MONDAY
NIGHT'TO HONOR HIM BECAUSE HE
WAS SEVENTY YEARS YOUNG,

gentle wife, the light of his
home,
And a dear sister who gladdens them
with smiles of faith and love.

cheek

But right here I wish to speak
Of the Deacon's lovely daughter,
Who brings sunshine, mirth, song
and merriment,
But gives some anxiety to their hearts,
Fearing some ardent swain will take
this much priced flower from
their home.
But who are these gathered here
ellis aunts and his cousins
Whom he reekons by the dozens?'
No, they are friends, neighbors,
Who come to greet him on this his
birthday evening
Those of us who have not known
him until recently, know him by
life's reputation, and can say, in
trouble or sorrow there would be
two friends to be near him to
cheer him, and ready to tighten
his grief. This meeting here be-
low gives us pleasure, and may
we, by our lives, insure us of
meeting in a brighter and better
world than this, "where flowers of
fadeless beauty bloom" "just
across the river on the golden
shore"
Tonight, Deacon Tarbell, we are
happy to greet you,
And whatever has been your life, if
mingled with Joy and woe,
You've had your share Of happiness
Since seventy years ago.
You point poor mortals upward,
AS through life they go,
And many homes have blessed you
Since seventy years ago.

price was $3.50 per barrel for the

ulated for the first time in his life. He
began to realize that there was a

activity even in apple buying. He

Appetite and Hunger.

"Most persons do not discriminate
between hunger and appetite" said
doctor of long experience. appetite
is what makes man drink or smoke,
and what makes most men and women
eat. Many go through life never
knowing what hunger really is. 1
often fast sixty hours and never feel
the worst for it. A friend of mine, a
physician in Brooklyn, goes without
food sixteen days at stretch, and
keeps up his work meanwhile There
isn't an organ that can contract any
disease from lack Of food. Most Of
them do become diseased through the
effort to take care of too much food.
They are all in better tone after a fast.
Another thing: hunger is felt only in
the mouth and throat. That gone
feeling that many complain of is not
hunger; that is a form of disease. If
persons would eat only when they We're
hungry and only as much as hunger,
not appetite, called for-well, we doc
tors would have to fast. New York

Where does the esuperabundant electric
energy of thunderstorm come from?
In the annual report of the United
States Weather Bureau. condensation
is credited with a large share in its
production. When small, feebly
charged particles Of mist are welded
together, as it We're, into raindrops,
since the potential increases as the
square of the mass, high tension may
easily be developed. Ten drops, each
charged to one thousand volts will
thus produce one drop charged to one
hundred thousand volts. AS soon as
drops begin to form at the beginning
of a storm, the relatively small tension
of the atmospheric charges soon be-
comes enormously multiplied, and dis.
ruptive lightning discharges are the
result.

1t is undoubtedly true that employ.
ers are constantly looking for ability,
but what operates against the man of
ability is the frequent failure of EN-.
ployers to recognize him. 1t is a most
difficult thing to discern ability in
others, observes Profitable Advertis.
ing. Being a quality that is brought
to light only by test, we do not see it
at glance or during a conversation,
and for this reason hundreds of men
of ability have not yet been recognized.
This rarity of discernment is an un.
fortunate condition. 1t clogs the wheels
of progress, hinders industrial devel
opment and ruins great enterprises.
The man at the head of some eXten.
sive industry may lack the power tc
recognize ability, and the eventual re.
suit is that his business fails. Yet he
never thinks of blaming himself for
IL
applicants for positions he has turned
away may have been the man who
could have saved the day. Therefore,
while the demand for ability is great.
the need for men capable of discerning
ability and estimating it is greater.
Perhaps some time in the distant fu,
ture a way will be found for training
such men. They will probably be af-
forded exceptional facilities for study.
ing human nature, and of thus learn
ing to judge men quickly and accu-
rately. Then there will be fewer fail.
ures, while industrial progress will be
still more rapid than it is to-day.
