SHIPS MASTER.
His is the Responsibility and His Sway
is Absolute.

1t is just and wholesome rule that
a captain shall command his own ship,
no matter who is on board. If he has
the sense and spirit to enforce his au--
thority there is the less chance of dis
aster from pompous meddlers. V. c.
tells a story of Emperor William which
may or may not be true-probably it
is not; but it illustrates the principle
just stated. The story is that when
the royal yacht was entering port the
kaiser noticed that the boat was slow
ing down, in accordance with the or
ders of the pilot, an old Norwegian
named Nordhuus. who knew the cham
mel and its dangers. The emperor rang
the bell for full speed.
Nordhuus placed himself in the way,
leaned over the wheel, and called down
the tube to the engine room, Half
speed! Never mind the BELL"
You countermand my orders" cried
the emperor, and gave the bell another
Jerk.
"Nevcr mind the bell." called Nord-
huus through the tube.
The emperor drew himself up.
Go below" said he. "and report
yourself under arrest"
Leave the BRIDGE" repeated Nord-
huns, graspinS the wheel more firmly.
This ship is under nay charge, and I'll
have no interference with my orders
from king or seaman.
The officers on deck hurried silently
aft, in their hearts wishing luck to the
pilot. NordhuuS stood at his post, I'M
shaken by threats. deaf to commands,
and carried the yacht safely into the
Earbor
his senses, and decorated the pilot with
the order of the Black Eagle.-Youth's
Companion.

How To Be Happy.

IL you try to overtake happiness it is
likely to give you the dust and keep you
in the chase. The better way is to let
it Overtake you. This it will do il you
provide the conditions.
Be just. be true. be kind. The charm
of existence comes from relating our
selves beautifully and faithfully and
devotedly to our work, to our friends,
moments.
Let there be warm commingling Of
interests between yourself and those
who are nearest. How often there is
so little in common between a father
and his children. or between members
of the same family: each one living
his life under the same roof and yet
knowing little of the Other-brothers
and sisters and yet comparative strang-
ers. Much is lost in this way-at least
much would be gained IL there were a
merging of condolences
Then reflect that life. like every other
blessing. derives it's value from it's use
alone. A life i'm which nothing happens
is not artistic. and cannot be made so.
One Of the wisets and best known men
Of this generation says that if man
has abilities and will not use them he
is a scoundrel, and ought to be pun
lshed.
Put heart into your work. and you
will get joy out Of it. Let the money
consideration be secondary. The first
thing is to be true to labor with "a COM
posed invincible energy. till it becomes
labor of love and gladness.
Live so that tomorrow and all the
coming tOmorrows will be frightened
by the memory of today. You may take
it for granted that if by kindness and
sympathy and the clean. conscientious
fulfillment Of your task you diffuse sun
shine into other hearts. you will not be
able to keep it out of your own.--To-
ronto Star.

There are two ways of giving away old

give to their washerwoman aid ball frocks

They feel that they can rid themselves of

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, July 27.-There was further
decided pressure of speculative liquidation
of stocks. today, and the bears also
pounded the market with increased conf
dence. The action of United states Steel
preferred was watched with special inter
est and its leadership of the decline was
the market. The first 800 shares sold
above last nights price, but AN 1mIne-
date decline followed and was unretriev-
ed. Speculative opinion was inclined to
assume that yesterdays selling was real
iZing and the offerings, today. were be
lieved to be of the same character, as the
dividend action and the amount of the
net earnings were so closely in conform
ty with the published limitations. With
the doubts over the dividend for the past
quarter dissolved. new set Immediately

A grave condition in the relations be
tween the Russian and British govern

the action of government securities in
London and Paris and this was an influ-

was given also to the possibility of an
issue being raised between the United
States and the Russian governments
should the NladivOStok ships encounter
any of the merchantmen in the Paci1ic
under the American flag.
Reports of setbacks TO the crops gained
additional currency with the progress of
the decline in stocks. The few reports
of gross earnings of railroads for the
third week OF July pointed to poor aver
age. Rumors of rupture in the anthra-
cite Cancellation board and resulting
strikes had keener effect by reason OF
the current unrest in other departments
OF labor. Encouragement at the inabi-
ity of the market to Withstand the sell

To be Liked, be Charitable.

To be liked. you must, first of all,
be liberal minded and charitable
Learn quickly and learn thoroughly
that the finikin and the hypercritical
individual, who is forever diScOursing
about his or her lofty ideals, and who
is ready to pick faulty. fallible human
nature to pieces, is never trusted and
never loved.
Don't expect to find perfect friends.
You are not perfect yourself by any
manner of means. Strive to acquire
an open. approachable manner. 1t is
more than highly commentaries; it is
positively essential to look friendly
and to abstain from sharp criticism.
There is a clever woman whom
know and whom | like, although with
large reservations, because she suffers
from the fatal habit of pulling her ac-
quaintances to pieces. She is always
ghoulishly ready to talk over and dis
sect the latest acquisition to her call
ing list. Hardly does the front door
close upon her visitor when she picks
the costume, the conversation the
husband, home and children of the abb
capes the keen edge of her caustic wit,
and in consequence she has no real
friends, says Adelaide Gordon in the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Well enough l know that when l am
gone my own little weaknesses and
idiOsyncrasies are brought into judg-
| ment, and from the roses in my bon
net to my choice of a family doctor,
my opinions and my personality are
| scathingly criticised. OF course, I
don't like it, and l cannot say that I
really like this mere acquaintance
who shall always remain my mere ac-
quaintanCe.
Love your friends for their virtues
and be very ready to see and admit
their good parts Concerning their
faults, preserve a large and gorgeous
silence, and do not fall Il victim of the
common and fatal practice of talking
people over. Moreover. please consider
that these qualities are not only con-
sistent with loyalty. but are prime
requisites to the preservation of your
reputation for good breeding.
Not only is it unkind. but distinctly
vulgar. to discuss the faults and fail
inSs of your friends, and be sure that
sooner or later they will discover the
turally and justly feel the most unfor-
giving resentment thereat and con-
tempt for your cheap diversion.

Swift & Co, and soon gained such
Roadway that every available fire en-
CINE in the stock yards district was
called out. Rumofs of incendiarism
were rife. Examination, however.
showed the cause of the blaze to have
been an over-heated dynamo. The
building, $50 by $50 feet and three
stories high. was filled with tierces of
lard. many of which exploded, spread
ing the burning grease in every direc-
ton.
Louis F. Swift was on the ground
and directed the firemen i'm their at
tempts to reach the blaze. The firemen
were hampered by numbers of cattle
and sheep which were being driven
along Exchange avenue the main
thoroughfare of the stock yards. The
fire threatened number of buildings
nearby but the firemen managed to
keep the flames from spreading.
Thousands of strikers attempted to
get near the burning building, but as
soon as the police arrived, ropes were
spread, blocking the streets for three
squares away. No crowds were al
lowed to pass through streets near the
buildings. The top story of the build
ing was wood and burned like finder.
The contents of the building were
said to be valued at 100000.

Chicago, July 27.-The conference be-

and representatives Of the packers, this
afternoon, in an effort to bring about
a renewal of peace negotiations was a
failure. The packers declared that the

the arbitration agreement decided upon,
last week, and that under the circum-
stances the packers did not care to
make any further agreements with the
strikers.
