seemed remarkably Indifferent TO men.

She accepted attentions from men

her, unconsciousiy, to lean the other

not now misjudge her. He knew that

perception of the situation. But to him
it meant his whole life; to her it

There is a general belief that a girl
has a small chance to size up mans
disposition before marriage, and I be-
lieve that is so. I am just as sure,
though, that many a man marries quite
in the dark as TO the real disposition of
his bride

YEsTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
A Strong and Comprehensive Upward
 Movement,

IA Strong and Comprehensive Upward i Movement, i New York, Aug. 15.-The creeping
 movement of prices which was the
 characteristic of last weeks stock mar
 ket developed into strong and com
 prehensive upward movement to-day.
 The market was broad and the strength and activity were well distributed, prac-
 tically all divisions of the market shar- | ing in the advance. There was much selling to take profits during the day and constant reactions in consequence,
 but the offerings were well taken. There was no important development
 in the news to-day or since the close of | the market last week. Outside orders through commission houses accumulat-
 ed over over Sunday were alleged to be larger than heretofore, London was also a buyer here to an important ex- tent. London was reported in a more confident mood over it's money outlook. That capital was said totdraw an augu- ry of hastened peace in the Far East as a consequence of the serious re- verses to the Russian naval forces. ', The basis of the growth of confidence here was quite clearly the faith that
 the country is to enjoy prosperous
 crops. The corn and cotton carriers showed the greatest effects from this faith, but St. Paul as wheat carrier with a large spring wheat traffic was mot excluded The question of the amount of spring wheat damage was admitted to be undeterminable as yet, but the high price promised for the crop was offered as providing an offset for its shortness.% The most conspicuous feature, however, was its diversion into the new field of the trunk lines and
 coalers, which have been comparative ly neglected.
 Good prospects in the steel trade have helped Pennsylvania at times, but the movement of these stocks to-day seem ed more to be based on assumptions of the good to come from the crops to the whole country. 7 United States Steel preferred was the conspicuous laggard in the days movement This was pre- ,sumably due to the current rumors of purpose to cut prices on finished pro- ducts with hostile intent towards the Independent companies. Southern Pa cific was also under constant pressure to take profits, The metropolitan trac- tions were feverish and irregular throughout the dap, in spite of the vio- lent advance of Interborough Transit on the curb. .s
 The unsettling influence of these ex- captions to the days strength gained force and the amount of selling for profits also diminished the disposition of the professionals to support the mar ket. This made the closing easy at re- ductions running to a point for the ac- tive stocks from the high prices of the day. -e o.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value s, ,775, ,000.

A Time For General Rejoicing.

Thanksgiving is time when the

and the sermons Of the day often have
a strong political flavor. 1t is related

sentence in his Thanksgiving invOca-

tios Of Thy grace, for Thou. . Lord,

In those old days secular antipathles
and political prejudices We're forgot

occasion when old enemies made
friends. and rich and poor INDUCED i'll
cider, mince pie and fowl of some
kind. No tramp went unfed. aud even
the town poorhouSe had its turkey. In
the middle of the century it was Gus
tomary and fashionable to make calls
after the manner of the once popular
New Years observance. and as recent
" as 1895 New Workers celebrated the
THANKSGIVING occasion by parading
the streets arrayed in all sorts OF fan
tastic costumes.
