NEW YORK. Oct, 17.-Yesterday's
sharp recovery in prices brought in
large number Of buying orders this morn
ing and the stock market was very active
during the first hour. BY the end of that
time 1t became very evident from the
narrow movement of prices that the de-
mand was being freely fed to take profits
on yesterdays rise. The bears there
upon became less solicftious to cover
theIr short contracts and ceased to buy.
The sellers allowed prices to slip back
TO ABOUT last nights close, at which
point there was a marked decrease in
the volume of business with the move
ment of the market brought practically to
standStill The market for the rest of
the day was somewhat hesitating and ir-
regular.
An advance of about a point in Anal
gamated Copper, United States Steel
preferred and Union Pacific had a re-
assuring effect and steadfed the market,
but failed to lift it to a materially
higher level. A numebr Of the indus
trials which had suffered violent losses
during the week made sharp recovery
and the hfgh-priced coalers were marked
up several points at a time on the pro-
fessed confidence that accumulations Of
steam sizes of anthracite are being
worked off,

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis-Wheat closed the week
strong as ever and very active, at prices
practically unchanged from Friday. De-
cember closed at S13sc and May at 807sc
There was fair trade through the ses-

How Head Waiter Came to Have
Honors Thrust Upon Him.
The career of a social lion hunter
is liable to be attended with an oc-
casional disappointment, even though
on the whole successful. Burton
Holmes, on some of his tours as a
lecturer, has been considerably lion
lied and he tells this story of COM
pliment which he missed, but which
was enjoyed by another. He was lee
turing in an eastern city, and re-
ception was given in his honor at the
principal hotel of the place.
Among those who attended this re-
ception was a woman prominent So
cially, who has established sort of
salon" and receives her friends Sun
day afternoons, trying to provide a
lion" or two for each occasion.
Burton Holmes was so fortunate
as not to be presented to the fair lion
hunter, but she presented herself to
the man she had stalked for her
game, and urged upon him her invi-
tation for the Sunday afternoon. He
very modestly attempted to decline
it. His excuses were not accepted,
and the victim consented to appear.
Extra arrangements were made for
this occasion and the fact that Mr..
Holmes was to be there was herald
ed abroad. On the day all the youth
and beauty Of the place gathered to-
gether awaiting the advent of some
what tardy lion, who was received
with every mark of consideration and
appeared to be embarrassed thereby.
The heed waiter had been mistaken
for the eminent lecturer.

"a Woman'a Back.

Dublin, Mich, June 29th.-To the
many women who suffer with weak
back and pains and tired feelings in
the small of the back, the experience
of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place
will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very
great deal with these back pains and
although she had tried many things,
she could find nothing tnat would re-
lieve her. The pain kept on in spite
of all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the
story of another lady who had suf-
fered with the backache, and said she
had been cured by remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker
thought she would try the same thing.
After the first two boxes had been
taken according to directions, she be
gan to feel some better, and she kept
on till at last she was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she is
very grateful She says: ''Dodd's
Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and
will always recommend them as G
cure for Pain in the Back"

Jalrus' DAUGHTER.

The little maids twelve stainless years
Were past, and she was fallen on sleep
When to her side the Master came,
Uttering strange music in her ears,
And with the touch of q new birth
That, like a fine and fragrant flame,
Through every vain swept full and deep,
Called her again TO happy earth.
How far in heaven her little feet
Had followed there are none to say,
What atmosphere OF love the while
Wrapped her like sunshine warm and
sweet
What soft wings stopped about her there,
The gracious light OF what glad smile,
What tenderness along the way
Met and caressed her everywhere.
Whether she saw In rank Ger rank
First Venturing into heaven alone
A phalanx of archanges shine,
Or whether on some blossom-bank
A cloud OF cherubs sang and sang,
One knows not nor II all divine
She saw; about the Great White Throne,
The rainbow like an emerald hang.
Yet earth must needs be sweet to her
After that voice, that touch OF grace,
The heavenly peace impaired then
For her blest hands to minister.
And still a question comes to me
OF days ere heaven was hers again,
And which of all her wandering race
Child OF that little maid might be,

Companion.
