A MATTER OF FRUIT,
T00THPICKS AND NUTS

If you are very artistic, you can use
real water-color paints. But its fun
nier and more amusing to paint the
jolly Hans face on a bit of paper, with
coffee for skin color and dot OF Gran
berry juice on both cheeks, mouth and
nose for rosiness. and a dab of bright
yellow mustard for hair. Pin the
paper face on the pickle body and
there you are, like the man who fell
from the roof into the old woman's
chowder.

an Almond So you will please join

Then dip a toothpick into ink and

A TALE OF ALMONDS,
PICKLES AND PEARS

"HIS is a story for the very
young-not older than three
- and not younger than ninety
eight.
Peter Piper, the well-known person
who picked peck of picked peppers,
afterward married Fraulein Pickles of
Picklehaube, in Europe, and later one
of the little Pipers married a Pat Pep
per, and their daughter, Miss Philippa
Pepper, married a Peter Pickle again.
Then the Albert Almonds and the
Paul Pears married into the family,
too.
So this explains how the fine family
shown on this page came TO exist, and
how it got all its mingled beauty, dig
nifty and aristocracy.
If you would like TO assemble
similar household on your table, it's
easy TO do it after the table has been

STATE OF TRADE.
kilograms from Correspondents Of In
ternational Mercantile Agency.

New York, Jan. 29.-Special kilograms
regarding the state of trade from cor
respondents of the International Mer-
camille Agency throughout the United
States are summarized as follows:
General wholesale orders for spring
trade, this month, in that region are
said to be heavier than in any pre-
ceding January. More than rs, 900
wage oarnerS have gone back to work
in Pennsylvania and the Lake region,
within fortnight. Extraordinary easy
money markets are not likely to con-
tinue much longer. Early ratification
of the Panama treaty would mean
probable payments to Panama and the
coal company shareholders. AS it
stands, government depository banks
might have to furnish S25,000.cO0 of the
funds needed. Overhanging new cap
ital issues tend to advance rates.
Officials interviewed insists that steel
rail prices will not be cut and point to
the interest of the Pennsylvania rail-
road through its steel mills to keep the
price up and light rails being 50 higher.
Despite pessimistic reports as to iron
and steel the demand continues TO
slowly increase, notably for structural
steel and basic and forge iron.
All other countries have reached their
maximum production of iron so that
the increase must come from the Unit
Cd States. Prices have been stronger
for cattle. rubber. coffee, cotton goods,
raw cotton, wheat and corn. Not the
least encouraging feature of the bust

DUN'S REPORT.
Review of Business Conditions
for the Past Week.
Cotton Operators Begin to Exhibit
Anxiety Over Situation.
Erratio Wheat Fluctuations in the
Western States.

New York, Jan. Or. G.. Dun &
Cos. weekly review of trade will say,
tomorrow:
business conditions would be most
satisfactory if present high prices for
the leading staples We're the result of
wholesome demand, but the prominence
of manipulation prevents any such
gratifying conclusion. Aside from the
lines temporarily stimulated by severe
weather, trade is quiet, and evidences
OF spring are hopefully awaited.
Optimistic reports are not numerous
regarding the iron and steel industry.
authorizations of rapid recovery with
the advent of n new year are not yet
realized. although it is still hoped that
new business cannot be much longer
deferred. That prices have declined
but little further is perhaps the best
that can be said of results during the
past week.
AS to pig iron, a very small tonnage
is moving. and, unless conditions alter
very radically, the years production
must fail far short of the output in
1908, which has just been officially re-
ported by the American Iron and Steel
Association as 1S,000,525 tons.

that one of them has been picked out

AYEAR'S BUILDING.
Over Five Thousand Miles Of
Railway in 1908.
GIH,r
Only Twenty-Thres Miles in All New
England.
Most Of the New Mileage Is in the
Southwest.

During the early months of 1903 rail-
way building in the United States had
attained such an impetus as to make it
apparent that the close of the year
would show new mileage one
thousand miles in excess of the con-
struction for the year 1902. But soon
labor became threatening and an cpl
demic of strikes and demands for in
crease in wages-demands which in
many cases were unreasonable-fol-
lowed. This caused railway managers
to call a temporary halt in improve
ments which required the expenditure
OF vast sums of money. Later clouds
appeared on the financial horizon and
the apprehension caused thereby was
responsible for the suspension Of much
important work which was well under
way. The upheaval in Wall Street did
not affect the real value of railway
securities. for the country at large was
prosperous almost to Il degree never ex-
perienced before. and the railroads had
oil the traffic they could handle. But
when a railroad company is contem-
plating an issue, of bonds to provide
funds for improvements it has to go to
Wall Street, and 1t was wisdom on the
pSAS VI tHoSG AoI tIiC
agement OF our railroads to hold up
improvements calling for bond issues
until the financial skies should clear.
For these reasons latterly it has been
anticipated that the close of the year
would show n smaller new mileage
than was completed in 1902. The
figures for the first six months of the
year were less than those for the cor
responding period of 1902, which tended
to confirm the prediction that the total
for the year would be correspondingly
small. Therefore. it is gratifying to
note that such premonitions We're
erroneous. While 1t is true that the
stringency In the money market tied
up large amount of important work.
the new mileage for 1908 shows an ex-
cess over that completed in 1902. With
returns still incomplete. official reports
show an aggregate of 5723 miles of
track laid from Jan. to Dec. 81. 1903.
on $50 lines in A States and Territories
including Alaska, where 10 miles of
road have been built by one company.
This is lis miles more than shown in
the preliminary statement for 1902. and
80 miles more than in the final state
ment for that year. The detailed
figures are given in the following
