 OFF GOLF HONORS
OF THE FIFTY-SlX STARTERS IN THE QUALIFYING ROUND ONLY FIVE SUCCEEDED IN GETTING UNDER THE 100 MARK.

Wheaton, H., September 29.-Mrs. Ca Ieb Fox of the Huntingdon Valley Golf club, carried off the honors in the quail flying round for the National Women s golf tournament over the Wheaton course today, taking but ninety-four strokes for the eighteen holes, or six strokes less than the woman's bogle Of the tifty-six starters, only five succeeded in getting under the 100 mark, and some qualified with scores as high as 120 for the real struggle for the championship honors. which begins tomorrow. Western women are in a large majority, but nearly all of the customers who qualified turned in comparatively low medal scores and the contest between west and east promises to bo an interesting one.
 Barring rather strong west wind about noon, conditions were very favorable, the course proving to be in perfect condition. The pairing will probably result in bring ing together Miss Bessie Anthony the western champion, and Mrs Caleb Fox in the second round tomorrow afternoon and this match will, it is expected at tract much attention.

DECIDED CHANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Buying in Large Quantities

 nia Is the Pivotal Issue
 of the Day.
BEARS COVER EXTENSIVELY

New York September 29.-A very decid ed change came over today's stock ma-- ket. In places of the recent heavy n- quidations and further shrinkage of val ues' there was buying in large quantities, apparently by the leading financial inter- ests, though 1t was more than likely that a goodly part of the days purchases was really in the nature of supporting orders. It is also probable that some of the high grade stocks were absorbed for invest ment. The bears were not slow to ob- serve the changed conditions and cov- cred very extensively. In fact their attI- tude helped in no small degree to sustain the list, which was at top prices at the close.
 Conditions at the outset were not en- couraging. The cables reported a stua- ton bordering on demoralization in Lon don, where consols had fallen to another low record with heavy declines in the leading Americans, notably the steel stocks.
 Initial transactions in this market re- f1ected the tone of that in London but after the first few minutes the market reversed it's course under the lead Of Pennsylvania, which was the pivotal issue of the day. That stock was openly bought by interests that represent the road financially, and on sales of more than 123.000 shares made a net gain of 3s4 points, The strength of this stock was the more noteworthy in view of the previous days fierce drive against it.
 Other active and strong stocks included Union Pacific, Atchison, St. Paul, Erie, Reading, and United States Steel prefer red. all of which gained two points or more Some of the specialties made great CT advances, but the bulk of the days operations was limited to the issues named.
 A story went the rounds during the day that the leading financial interests had agreed to protect the market by united action
 The story was denied In authoritative circles

and about forty feet long. The single
pole at the left is set into the ground
about four feet in order to hold the der
dick in position.
The two bracing poles are also set
into the ground about a foot TO hold
them from slipping. The top piece, to
which the pulleys are attached, is = by
S inches by 81 feet long. This piece is
bolted to the poles with four and one

BILE. 1t may be question with many
farmers who have never used der
rick for stacking hay whether the hay
will keep well when stacked in this
way. l took special pains to notice the
condition of the hay when being taken
out of the stack and observed that 1t
even was better than the hay that was
stacked by hand by another neighbor
just across the road. The hay drop
ping from the fork seems to pack the
stack in the center and allows less set
Ting there to occur.
Another Michigan farmer sends
sketch of a stacking rig that he has
used for years. with this explanation:
A is the gin pole which swings on a
pivot at it's base. b is the main stay
rope which should run exactly back
from the center of the stack In line
with the foot of the gin pole. The foot
of this pole should stand close up to
the bottom circumference of the
stack, and it should lean forward
enough so that the top of the pole shall
come directly over the middle of the
stack or of the load, as may be re-
quired. c. and ID are stay ropes run
ming at right angles with the main
stay rope, both to be sufficiently slack
so that the top of the gin pole may
swing directly over the load of hay to
take its forkful (the c rope being tauD
and then may swing over the middle Of
the stack to drop the forkful (the d
rope then being taut and the G rope
slack. The "catch block" or lower Of
the two pulleys P, p, should be
about three feet from the ground, so
that when the team begins to pull and
the forkful clears the load the teams
pulling shall swing the pole and bring
its upper end right over the stack and

To Him Tint Hath.

Philanthropy and business" are
rather curiously related in the minds
of some people, as the Lewiston Jour
nal suggests by an anecdote of a Maine
farmer. He lived at Cape Elizabeth,
and when he went to Portland he in
variably favored certain friends with
samples Of his produce.
Perhaps it only happened so," but
anyway these friends were always
well to do, and Mr.. Lufkin never un-
hitched the old horse to drive home
without finding tucked away in the
wagon something In return fully as
valuable as his tribute of vegetables,
IL not more so.
The neighbors noticed that he al
ways left his little remembrances with
people who were "wsll fixed" So one
day, when eggs were away up in price
and he was starting to town with lot
of fresh ones for certain friend, some
ono said to him curiously:
"Why don't you give those eggs to
some poor familyP'
"Oho," said Mr.. Lufkin easily. "Poor
people can't afford to eat eggs at this
time Of year! Eggs is high"

A QUEER BUSINESS.
The Way Houses on Fire Were
Bought In Ancient Rome.

Bought In Ancient Rome.
One of the strangest businesses In
ancient Rome is mentioned by Juvenal
in his satires. 1t consisted of buying
houses on fire. The speculator hurried
to the scene, attended by slaves carry
ing bags of money and others carrying
tools, judged the chances of salvage
and made a bid to the distracted house
owner, who was glad TO accept any
thing, as a rule. The bargain struck in
all haste, this earliest of fire assurers
set his slaves to work and secured
out the flames and so made coup.
1t was business for capitalists, but
the poorest who speculated in a small
way could hardly lose if he had pres
ence of mind enough to grasp the
chances. Thus Cato the Elder, as
well as Crassus, laid the foundation
Of his great wealth. He gradually
collected force of carpenters, masons
and such artificers-slaves, of course
which reached 500 men. Not only did
he buy houses on fire, but also enlarg
ing upon the common practice, he made
n bid for those adjoining which stood
in danger. His proposals were COM
monty welcome, we learn, so helpless
were the people and so great the peril.
BY this means Crassus became the
greatest owner of house property in
Rome.
