In the same early movement there were gains in Missouri Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Denver and Rio Grande, Southern Railway, Reading, Chesapeake and Ohio and other coalers.

Initial deal ings also showed better prices for American Hide and Leather (neWly listed), American Smelling, the local transactions, Chicago Union traction and Tennesse Coal and Iron. Following this movement. St. Paul, which had been comparative ill conspicuousness, began to show marked heaviness on profit taking, followed by rumors of dividend appointment. Traders seizer the opportunity to sell the list and further uncertainty was occasioned by rumors that the banks contemplated a campaign against certain high priced industrials and pool stocks, as a whole. Business fell off materially and conser- vative commission houses advised their clients to hold off for a decline. To add to the general feeling of alarm money on call was then being nominally quoted at as high as 15 per cent. and was actually loaning at il per cent. The knowing ones seemed altogether in the dark regarding St. Paul, and that stock was in the throes of a selling move ment. The afternoon session brought a slightly better tone, but all hands were waiting on St. Paul and supporting or ders in Western Union. Baltimore and Ohio and several other stocks helped to steady the lis: Announcement of the dividend action on St. Paul caused a rally of more than points in that stock, and the balance of the list was

Several years ago there is said

cr who was always in the habit of
selecting his texts from the Old
Testament, and particularly some
portion of the history of Noah
No matter what the occasion was,
he would always find some parallel
incident from the history of this
great character that would readily
serve as a text or illustration.
At one time he was called upon
to unite the daughter of the vii
lagc mayor and prominent at
torncy in the holy bonds of matri-
mony. Two little boys, knowing
his determination to give them II
portion Of the sacred history
touching Noah S marriage, hit up
on the novel idea Of pastlng to-
gethcr two leaves in the family
Bible SO as to connect, without
any apparent break, the marriage
of Noah and the description of the
Ark of the Covenant.
When the noted guests were all
assembled and the contracting par
ties with attendants in their re-
spectivc stations the preacher be-
gan the ceremonies by reading the
following text: And when Noah
was 40 years old he took unto
himself "A wife" (thcn turning the
page he continued) 1900 cubits in
length, 30 cuhits in width and 30
cubits in depth, and within and

found ourselves left by our alb
ductors near village an hour dis

hours we waited for dawn, then

horses, with tears an d smiles and
words of welcome and led us into
their house. Word was quickly
sent to the friends engaged i'll
their morning service at church,
and they came, old and young, to
greet us. What thanksgiving to
God for this proof of His faithful
ness to answer their prayers; for
all, even the little children had
never ceased to pray for us, their
lost friends.
Since that hour our waking
time has been crowded with friends
from the city and surroun ding
villages who have brought us their
heartfelt congratulations for our
deliverance. The Turkish gov
ernment did not fail to question us
as to our experiences. The gov
ernor of the city with his suite
called this morning and again this
afternoon after the arrival of DR..
House and his son from Salonica,
accompanied by NJ. Gargiulo, the
first dragoman of the American
embassy at Constantinople. The
last three have come to accompany
us to Salonica, where Mr.. Tsilka
awaits his long lost wife and theil
baby. They have brought me
bundle Of letters from mother anc
my brothers and dearest friends.
Thus with unspeakable gratitude
to God and to all friends, who by
prayers and gifts have helped tc
free us, we begin our life of free
dom. Your sister. Ellen NJ. Stone
