to admit that the feat was difficult. Being of an inquisitve turn of mind he asked some of the boys how long it took them to acquire the trick.
 Bout a week was the answer.
 About a week! But don't you ever drop them before you catch on to it?"
 Do we? We'll, I guess yes. But you see, when you get a call to go out and deliver a tray, and there is only one way to do itwell, you have to catch on to that way pretty quick, or there's trouble for you. The reason that we learn so quick is that we have to.''
 Which is found to be a tolerably good reason for anything.
 T suppose you carry some empty trays on your head at first for prac- tice?'
 This suggestion was met with that scornful smile that comes from know ledge to ignorance.
 No sir. We start by balancing a full tray for practice. and so it won't drop we put both hands to it. But you soon catch on, and after you can walk along with "a tray on your head it soon gets just as easy to ride as to walk, and it's whole lot less trouble. 2

WATERS ON WHEELS.

One of the curiosities of Salt Lake City, in the eyes Of the many visitors who have passed through the town re- aently, is the sight of the messenger boys riding bicycles easily along the atreets with heavily laden trays on their heads. To Salt Lakers this seems quite natural, as it is sight fhey see every day and have for years, but to the stranger within the gates It is a quaint novelty. < Salt Lake is not the only town in the States where this custom prevails, but 1t has the distinction of being one of he three towns where the messengers lave this speedy method of delivering meals. The other cities are San Fran dsco,an Los Angeles, and in the lat Ter place 1t is a recent innovation. The people there recognized the advantages of having conveyed so easily and uliickly from seeing 1t done in Salt Lake and 'Frieo.
 Persons who have not taken particu- lar notice, but have seen only the ease with which the boys carry their un- wieldy burdens, think it an easy task. The reporter tried to balance a tray on his head and walk as far as the door. When the tray of empty dishes fell from his head on his toes he was ready

ed. One of the local companies has an age limit Of fifteen. below which none are taken on, but another force operates with boys as young as twelve. Fifteen and sixteen are the ages of most of them. It was supposed that the reason for the employment of such young fellows was the threatened strike which was mooted some time ago, and which was promoted entirely by the older members of the force.
 Versatility certainly seems to be a requirement. of the modern messenger boy. When asked what they are called on to do they answer:
 Everything. Messengers are sent for for all sorts of things. and they can do everything -......
 Setting up pins in a bowling alley, taking the place Of walters when a restaurant is short handed, and even carrying banners in a parade are among his jobs. Not infrequently a messenger will get a hurry-up call, to find that he is required to act as a valet and assist some one in dressing for a ball or dinner party. In other cities they are often called on to per form the duties Of a cicerone and guide, but although occasional strangers take this method of seeing Salt Lake City, 1t is not so frequent here as elsewhere.
 Last winter, when the National Guard was called out to quelI the strike in Carbon County, some enter prising members Of the Commercial club got up a parade in honor of the warriors. To make it impressive some messengers in their uniforms were called in to swell the numbers, and one of them, a dimunitive member, was set to hauling a baby carriage with a toy cannon which frowned threateningly on. the spectators.
 With the amount of riding they do it is no wonder that many of the boys acquire a skill with their cycles that puts the ordinary rider far in the background. Some of them can do tricks that are as clever as they look dangerous, and indeed they seem more at home on the top Of one or two wheels than they are on two feet. "one or two wheels" is advisedly said, for some messenger boys can ride along on the back wheel of their ma chimes and look as happy as if riding in the ordinary way.-SaIt Lake Trib- une. h. ss@.se

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET

Recovers Temporary Setback and Re-
 sumes Advance.
 New York, Oct. 1.-The stock mark ct once more retrieved itself from a temporary setback and resumed the advance. The rise was not even and not entirely comprehensive, the greater part of the trading and the movement being congested in a few prominent stocks. The firmness in the rest of the market was due largely to sympathy with the. few, strong stocks but the hardness of the market was none the less clearly demonstrated. The open ing response to the government crop report was disappointing. But holders of stocks were moved to take advant- age of the showing to sell. Apparently affected by yesterdays accident on the Missouri Pacific and owing to dissatis- faction with the earnings statement contained in the yearly report of the Wabash. United States Steel pf. was subjected to early pressure and then rallied, but met sufficient offerings at yesterdays high price to stop it's ad- vance. New York Central,s 1-2 point advance was of only moderate infiu- ence on other eastern railroads. Read ing was sold 0 realize, and Erie was hurt by consideration of it's annual re- port which was circulated during the session. Brooklyn}s rise was attributed to good current earnings. The event |of the day in the worlds financial markets was the advance from 1 to 5 per cent. of the discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany, after hay ling maintained ethe former raete since June, 1903 Foreign exchange Ilarden- ed here in response and the continenfaI exchanges moved against London. where discounts hardened and fbe price of gold advanced. The action of the German bank is not clearly under- lstood and led to surnises that another Russian loan is being prenared for Financial authorities in London have pointed out that relaxation Of the money rate there would cause a with drawal Of large French credits placed there and their transfer to Berlin or. in | the event Of higher money rates here. l to New York. Since the Panama canal lpayment, Paris money supplies have
 been abundant and large amounts have been placed not only in London but in Germany as well. The sharp advance in the German banks discount rate may be intended to hold French credits in that market and to invite further commitments.

 A remarkable marriage has taken place at Perm, in northeast Russia on the estate of a wealthy distiller named M. Reshetnikoff, says London cable gram to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The bride and bridegroom, both of magnificent physique, were the "nurs- lings'' of M Reshetnikoff, who has a beauty farm. He has for many years attracted to his estate handsome giants from all parts of the province by offer ing valuable privileges.
 They are encouraged to enter mat rimony by grants of land, payment of $15~for every child born. Those who refuse to marry the partners selected are deported Deformed and sickly persons have been driven from the es- tate.
 Since the institution of this human beauty. farm forty model marriages have taken place, and over 100 children have been born, nearly all of them be ing immensely superior to the average Russian peasant children in strength and beauty.
 The girls in particular are remarka. ble for their graceful carriage and 1.-the, active forms.
 The latest marriage was celebrated with exceptional display, owing to the fact that the bride and bridegroom are the first couple both of whom sprane from unions arranged by M. Reshetni koff

 New York.
 "In penning these memoirs there has been no wish to detract from the serv- ices of others, no desire to enter un- kind, undignified or rude words of those who may have differed in their views, but to set forth the facts and services of life that has been clean in its devotion to home and to coun- try and steady in its purpose from youth to it's meridian in giving the best years to duty conscientiously done for all that is near and dear to man honor, home, country. * Neither the lapse of time nor the change of cir cumstances has wrought any change of faith in the expression from the heart penned in those first moments of the great battle of July 3, 1898:
 1T am glad that l had an oppor- tunity to contribute in the least to victory that seems big enough for all of us.' II
 Such are the closing words in "For- ty-five Years Under the Flag by Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, U. S. N, published by D. Appleton & O., says the New York World. In these memoirs Admiral Schley describes his service in the navy from his appoint ment as acting midshipman in 1856 un- til his retirement.
 In all the book the word '1'' does not appear except in the quotation that ends it. The admiral speaks of him. self in the third person, but the reader does not lose the impression that "the writer endeavored to do the work set before him without fear of personal consequence"
 Schley will be best remembered by the Greedy relief expedition and his part in the battle of Santiago. He writes thus of the final rescue of Gree ly and his surviving companions after infinite difficulties:
 '"The Bear, followed closely by the Thetis, arrived off the wreck camp cache about 10 p. m., and there found Lieutenant Greedy and six of his com rades in tent which the violent gale had blown down over the party as they lay in their sleeping bags. The other eighteen of his party had perfshed, some while seeking relief toward Cape Isabella, some drowned while sealing. some had starved to death. The graves of a number were on a little ridge hardly 200 feet away.
 "The condition of the survivors was desperate in the extreme, while the heartrending and distressing. One of the whistle blasts blown, to recall the searchers was heard in the camp, and Brainard and Long went out to the cliff overlooking Kane sea to learn what 1t might mean. To their joy the promise was real, for not long after ward the heralded ships were in sight
 'tThe success of the relief ships in 1884 was made possible in the fullest measure by the officers and men who shared the dangers and exposures with the commander, and who were willing to undergo any privation or to under take any risk to reach and rescue theil imperilled countrymen.
 "They did so with much credit tc themselves and with much renown tc the navy and to the nation" Admiral Schley deals with the battle of Santiago most exhaustively, and his book will confirm those who were his adherents in the lamentable contro

GOV. VAN SAINT LOCATES
A RELATIVE IN THE SURF

Gov. 5. Il. Van SAINT of Minnesota,
formerly of Rock Island, who re-
turned TO St. Paul recently from a
two weeks stay at Daytona. Fla,
found long lost cousin in the surf
at the beach. The governor, accom-
panied by Mrs. Van SAINT, was prone
nading along the wide stretch of snow
white sand that marks the point
where the sea and land are engaged
in a personal contest for supremacy,
when he saw Il large number of men
and women disporting in the water.
Escorting Mrs Van SAINT to a point
of vantage he went to the bathhouse
and soon emerged clad in a conven-
tiOnal bathing suit. Plunging into the
hmpid waves that are always wash
ing the sands down that way he came
up to Il man who was doing the same
stunt as himself.
why. hello. Sam the stranger
calculated as he encountered the gov
ernor of Minnesota floating an the
crest of Il diminutive tidal wave.
Beg pardon" said the governor as
he brushed the salt spray from his
Minnesota eyes.
Don't you know me?" asked the
other. II am your cousin and live
i'm New York City"
The cousins had not met in years
and when they regained shore and
were arrayed in conventional costume
the New York man was presented to
Mrs. Van SAINT. The governors visit
was made doublV pleasant by the dis
covery of the New York cousin.
