THE STRONG MAN AND THE BABY.
story That VIII Convey Moral Lesson
to Fathers.

A chap who had been the strong man
of his class as college, who held the
amateur championship as a hammer
thrower and had lifted $50 pounds dead
weight, was wont to brag of his PROV
ess.
MY muscles are like iron,' he would
say. II am never tired. | can outrun
trolley car any reasonable distance.
My lungs have an expansion of five
and three-eighths inches. I'm as hard
as nails, and old Mr.. Rheumatism has
taken my name off his visiting list"
Finally the chap married and in due
time he became a father. He was
proud Of this and spent $40 in tele-
grams to friends and relatives, $3.50
for cigars and 1855 for drinks.
The baby thrived and grew. At the
end of four months the youngster was
an old story and weighed twenty-five
pounds and few ounces. When the
mother wanted the erstwhile proud
father to tote the heir from the house
| to the trolley car the father made an
awful roar.
Before walking a block perspiration
poured down the old mans face and
he breathed like a stalled gasoline au-
tomobile. He complained sorely.
This kid weighs ton" he declared.
MY dear" said his wife, before we
were married you boasted of your
strength. and even since became your
happy bride you have come home at
night. or rather in the morning, with
a load that would have kept you off a
boulevard where heavy traffic is pro-
hibited. Men are so unreasonable"
Moral: 1t is the burden you can't
drop that weighs heaviest.

Murphu Q co.,s stoek Letter.

New York, August 2S.-There was sharp falling off in the transactions to- day. The market was extremely irregular with a rather general tendency toward reaction. London operated on a small scale only, probably buying a little more than it sold. The western speculative cement was credited with considerable selling but there were many variations in the speculations, suggestive of the de- velopment of new interests on the ag- gressive side.
 The principal reason the hesitation of traders continued as to the monetary sit nation, notwithstanding unofficial assur- ances that the large interests were pre- pairing to cope with the demands for crop moving purposes with the least possible disturbance In money rates. The strong features of the market were in special issues. Canadian Pacific rose over per cent on the official call for retirement of remaining outstanding land grant bonds. Colorado Fuel and Iron continued to fluctuate violently but after sharp reac- tion from highest 1t scored a moderate net gain. Sloss steel advanced sharply The market closed irregular both as to tone and price changes.

 ran & Co.
 New York, August 2S.-In a halting, rather dissatisfied manner the market re- acted materially and smaller longs took profits under fear of possible liquidation by the bull leaders in Wall street. On the opening the tone was weak with first sales showing declines of 5 to 10 points in response to heaviness Tn the Liverpool market and influenced by reports Of gen. eral rains over the central and eastern divisions of the belt
 Not long after the call reports of scorching temperatures over the very heart of the cotton country in Texas, where for nearly three weeRs the maxi mum readings have ranged from 9S to 106 degrees. started a vigorous bull buying movement which did not cease until near months had reached & level some 3 to points over the. close yesterday and dis tant months about even with the close last night. Late precipitation reports gave splendid rains over the eastern, all of the central and a goodly portion of the western belt, including corner of Texas
 The Journal of Commerce made the average condition of the crop about T, or about as expected by the trade here. Mir Theodore H. Price gave out a statement which made the average condition TO- In the afternoon the market was quieter than at any time this week, with prices some 20 points down from the top notch of the late bulge and some to 10 points off from last night. Until more is known of the rains in the belt we would hardly advise purchases, for general preeIpita- tion at this time would doubtless do great good to the parched crop.
