1t Is interesting to find a familiar
theme considered from new point
of view; it is more interesting to find
that there is new point of view from
which to consider the ever-discUssed
tragedy of Hamlet" In East Hently
the other day two women met on the
threshold of the village library. She
who was going in noticed the book
which her neighbor, who was coming
out. was carrying, and remarked, Il
didn't know, Mrs. Binns, that you
were a reader of Shakespeare.
Mrs. Bnns looked apologize. "Well.

good as a nap. why, it's the next best

less edifying than plays. | don't know
what my poor motherd say to me.
She disapproved of play-actiMg an

The local police authorities have been
bafled IN all efforts to communicate with
the relatives of william Waldron. a
former soldier, who committed suicide by
cutting his throat at the Cumberland

ARAB BOY CHAINED TO

Had Propensity for Stealing Bicy

Joseph Abriziad. nine years old. was
found on Friday evening. chained to the
floor in a room on the top story of s221h

1915 NJ Street northwest.
The boy had recently developed a fac.
ulty for stealing. Bicycles were his spe-
cialty. Wherever he saw a wheel. he
would take and ride it until he was
tired. or until the wheel was broken.
Then he would abandon 1t.
Several times the youngster had been
caught in the act Of stealing bicycles by
the local detectives, but because of his
youth he was let off easily. He has
been before the court six times with
the charge of stealing preferred against
him. Each time, however, his father
has returned the wheel, or article
stolen, had it repaired. and paid the
boys fine, thus frustrating the effort of
the Board of Children's Guardians to
get possession of the child. The boys

over to this organization, on probation,
for the theft of a dress

STAGNANT TRADING
ENDS IN SLIGHT FALL
Few Brokers on Exchange and
Speculation Dull.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The stock mar
ket to-day was exceedingly dull and
purely professional. On account of the
yacht race there were many absentees,
and until the publication of the bank
statement the speculation was almost
stagnant. with prices fractionally lower
than yesterdays closing.
The bank statement caused a general
feeling of disappointment, especially
with regard to the increase in loans, and
this resulted in the traders selling the
market OF somewhat sharply. Special
pressure. resulting in declines of point
from the highest. was directed against
St. Paul. Rock Island. Missouri Pacific
and Union Pacific. Elsewhere the re-
action was less than a point
In the industrial list, Amalgamated
Copper was extremely irregular. It
opened up 4 per cent, and after the
publication of the bank statement sold
rs below the top figure. The final net
loss. however, was only p a point.
United States Realty preferred was I'M
favorably Influenced by rumors that the
next dividend would be passed. and on
moderate volume of transactions this
issue declined "a per cent, recovering
a point in the final dealing.
There were no particular incidents of
the day to influence values. The an
nouncement of the per cent dividend
on 800" common had little effect. the
stock opening up X per cent. and then
selling of 2h per cent. The preferred
