Features Of the Days Dealings in All

New York, March 21.-Today's stock
market was still highly professional and
there was abnormal activity in stocks
which are usually not a figure i'm the

ton was given to the representative
stocks in the list, which are quite gen.
orally higher as a result of the DAYS

merely fractional but in such stocks as

Central q st. Louis there are substantial
net gains recorded. Rock Island moved
rapidly upwards in the last hour to $50.

No Prete nder in France.

Now that France is about to hold its
of deputies, it is worth noting that for
the first time in the history of the re-
public it is without the peril of pre-
tender. All parties in the country now
accept the republican form of govern
ment, and the dark prophecies OF q
generation ago have failed and ceased.
The many pretenders that have been in
the field have disappeared. Twenty
years ago Count Chambord, the Bour-
bon heir doomed large. The Count of
Paris, the Orleanist heir, succeeded
him as a possibility. Boulanger in 1890
seemed peril to the Republic. Inac-
curate observers thought he might win
a majority. For a few brief years, be-
fore he had estranged all Europe by his
vices and his excess, the Due d'Orleans
seemed to have caught the nations
eye. Russian patronage of Prince Louis,
the Bonaparte now a general in the
1tuSSldu army, SuSScStco thae iN hii5he
develop into a pretender. He has not.
The Dreyfus case, which seemed like
" to drive France into a military re-
action under some ambitious general,
is over. AS far as any eye can now
see, the French republic seems firmly
and permanently established. May it
never be overthrow.

The RAGING kennebec,

The poet, filled with ecstacy may Justly
sing my praise
When I'm in the glory of the blooming
summer days;
When everything is peaceful where
wonder through the vale,
Ana the story of my winding makes a
sweet and pleasant tale
When mirrored in my waters are the hills
of glowing green,
And grassy bank and dipping bush show
forth my silvery sheen;
Or when Ger many a rugged fall | mer-
rily dash along,
Breaking into music like a gay and cheer
full song.
When in the factory and the shop turn
the busy wheel.
And join the living forces there intent
on human veal;
When all along my devious course from
MoOSehead to the bay,
l carry only blessed peace and gladness
all the way
But I'm not always in the mood such joy
and peace to bring,
Or to inspire to lofty praise or make the
muses. sing;
| have my seasons of unrest, my times of
passion too;
When. unrestrained 1 rave and tear just
like you mortals do.
Furious times, when I'm too full my ang-
er to control,
When, breaking DER all common bounds.
my waters madly roll;
Sweeping, surging, rushing on in wild and
threatening raid,
Ger many a neighboring lowland farm
and in the marts of trade.
l break the shackles on the boom and
scorn your power to save,
And toss the contents with delight like
chaH upon my wave;
| lift the bridges by my strength, from
their abutments clear.
And sweep before my surging flood the
massive granite pier.
l flood the streets and enter homes along
my loWly shores,
Nor heed the temporary dams nor barri-
caded doors:
Sometimes 1 force the inmates out. their
threatened lives to save,
In time to see the tottering house go
down upon the wave.
I flood the tracks and stop the trains and
wreck electric lines,
Hold up the maids without a fear of
prison walls or fines;
| cripple business through the land, far
out beyond my reach,
My reign of terror and of woe no mortal
dare impeach.
/ make of walls of brick or stone a mass
of crumbling SHE'LL
While crippled powers and idle mills their
dOleful stOryS tell;
And all along my flooded banks a thou
sand fragments lay,
Mementoes of the ruin wrought within
a single day.
Oh yes, the poet well may sing, trans
ported by the scene,
If perchance he finds me when I'm peace
full and serene;
But should he see my swelling flood and
mark the direful wreck,
He'd husk his lays and cease to praise
the raging Kennebec.
