 New York, March 2s.-There was irregu- larity in the stock market today. After the early strength prices sagged down and seemed to be held in check. It was thought in some quarters that this was for the purpose of accumulation in certain prominent stocks. In the afternoon a stronger tone was taken on, and se- curities advanced easily. There is ap- parently not a large floating supply of stocks. Professional opinion was some what confused but was evenly divided. The bear part based It's argument upon the Northern Securities uncertainties while the bulls asserted that harmony was known to exist

New York Cotton Futures.
The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, March 2S.-Spot cotton quiet; sales, 750 bales: including 300 to ar rive and 100 fob; delivered on contracts, 200 Quotations reduced A. Futures open ed steady with prices unchanged to 8 points lower than Saturdays closing. While Liverpool was up to reasonable ex- pectations. it was disappointing to the trade as a whole. New York showed some weakness at the opening and the local market at it's opening found heavy load of selling orders. There was no question that the New Orleans market was out of parity with both the New York and the Liverpool markets and this condition doubtless assisted largely in the break that followed the opening. Prices went down a quarter of a cent. Stop orders were reached on the long side and prices went down again until at the lowest they were half a cent lower than the highest level of the morning. Tn the trading May opened at 15 S. sold down to 14S0, ad- vanced to 15.4O and finally declined to 14.82 July opened at 15.7s. declined to 1525. advanced to 15.S1 and finally declin- ed to 15.25. The market closed with net losses of 45 to 55 points on the old crop positions and 24 to 35 points on the new.

Silence Not Always We'll

There is certainly much to be said
for the woman who chatters as blithe-
ly as a canary, and there are many
times when she is to be preferred to
the one who wraps herself in an awful
silence, under whose baneful influence
all cheerfulness dies.
Behind the power and knowledge
which make any one capable of en-.
riching social life with reviving con.
versation must lie, as a foundation,
the earnest desire to give pleasure, inI
dependent Of what one may receive in
return, and sense of duty regarding
those whom we meet in the world.
The young woman who goes into tho
world of society to which circum'
stances give her the open door, with
the capability of interesting and rous.
ing a cheerful flow of pleasant CONVEX
sation, has an assurance of enjoyment
wherever she appears.

Deed of Smart Dog

always did, for her master, who WIS.,
tied the doctor for wound On his
hand.
But poor Queen did not know that
the doctor had closed his Office and
gone. There she waited for two long
hours, nursing her foot with the ugly
cash, licking 1t, and looking vainly for
the familiar face Of the DE- "tor.
After long and faithful waiting he
appeared. At the sight of the doctor
a look of triumph cleaned in her tired
eyes. The doctor noticed the dog
casually and opened his office door.
Behind him crept the suffering Queen.
and when the doctor had seated him
self she placed paw with a bleeding
cash across It on his knee. The doc
tor smiled, patted her head, and took
the paw in his hand. II was soon
washed and bandaged and Queen was
again on the street, proud Of the white
bandage which paid her for her long
wait.

The virtue of silence has often been
overrated. 1t is rarely instilled into a
young girls or mans mind that she
or he has no right to be silent when
they could be amusing or to accept
hospitality without making any effort
to add to the pleasure Of the other
guests of their hostess. For there are
times when the most reckless Of talk
ers cannot do so much harm or wound
so cruelty as the person who holds
his peace. The old proverb hath it
that speech is silver and silence is
golden" but, nevertheless, silence is
not always golden; it sometimes par
takes of leaden quality and descends
with crushing force upon an assembly
Theoretically, 1t is a quality that com
mands the highest admiration, but
practically it is virtue that is some
times better honored in the breach
than in the observance, says the Prov
idence Journal.

Oregon Hens Are Wise

their early attempts at swallowing
them found that pain and DANCE
lurked in the stings.
Within the past year OF two he hat
noticed his hens peeking into the en-
frances of hives and occasionally
seiZing a bee, which, after placing OF
the ground and examining critically
they would sometimes swallow ano
sometimes allow to fly away.
This resulted in careful investi
cation by him of the strange action
of the hens, and he soon found that
the fowls had learned to distinguish
the stingless and useless drones from
the armed working bees, and that in
consequence the number of the eat.
ers, but nonproducers of honey, was
being kept within reasonable limits.
He has also discovered that this
season the old hens have taught their
chickens how to distinguish between
the two classes of bees. He believes
that no other fowls have ever &C.
qured this valuable knowledge, and
has not found anyone who has ever
heard of such knowledge being dis.
played by any fowl or bird.-Portland

Worth their weight In coined sill
YER" is the value attached to his flock
of hens and chickens by w. II. Pen
ming, the most extensive producer of
honey in the alfalfa region about On
tario, Ore.
This high price for poultry is not on
account of the beauty or size or pedi-
gree of his flock, but on account of
their having developed faculty or in
telligence to distinguish between a
working bee and a drone, which en-
ables him to secure much larger
yield of honey from his 500 hives, as
his hens keep the number of lazy,
idle drones, who are not armed with
stings, but who have good appetites,
reduced to a minimum, and more cells
are filed and sealed daily by the busy
workers.
Mr.. Penning told the Oregonian the
story of the wonderful development
of his hens, which are allowed to run
at large among his beehives, and who
have a fondness for bees, bugs, grass
hoppers and other insects, but which,
generally speaking, have learned to
leave bees entirely alone, having in

To.day's theatrical traditions have

When Betty MilkS the Cow

Her arms, apoise, OF graceful mold
No artists masterpiece, ! trOw,
Can match the vision | behold
When Betty miks the brindled COW.
But whether In her form or face
or twinkle I'm those eyes Of blue,
There's some bewtChment In her grace
That thrills my being through and

And what I would / cannot say
For silence seals my lips somehow,
And something In my breast gives way
When Betty millIs the brndled COW.
Oh, had all the miscrs store,
Or wide domain Of farm and Geld.
The fame that falls to men OF lore,
with all the hOnoTs earth can yield,
I'd freely barter them for this
Would such a boon the Fates allow
Just one sweet promise, one sweet kiss,
