in the opinion Of some very capable
critics. there are going 10 be TWO sides
TO the stock market for a while. the
advantage alternating between the bear
element and the old bull forces until
the definite tendency Of prices from
this point is at length disclosed. From
about the middle Of last week the bear
element has been more aggressive than
at any previous time since the collapse
on lower level Of that obstinate pro
fessiOnal opposition which characterized
the first half OF the advance. Bearish
operations, however. are still Of a
highly tentative character. Several Of
the most adroit and successful profess
SIGNALS operating on the stock exchange
have taken positions on the bear side
or the market, and while as yet they
are not committed beyond a point from
which retreat IS mOmeutarily feasible,
they are disposed at every opportunity
TO test the strength Of the general bull
position.
As bearing on the financial situation.
fl is brought 10 mind that arrange
ments will have TO be made soon for
funding the short term corporation
notes, principally railroad notes. that
were employed 50 extensively at a time
when II was not feasible to sell bonds
or other new securities. These short
term notes were readily absorbed by in
vestors and their absorption was really
the beginning OF the return OF general
investment confidence. It was pointed
out at the time that when these short
term obligations matured those who had
invested their money In them would be
unable TO rcinvest IL on anything Ike
the terms then offered in the regular
bond market. Investment security
values have been advancing almost unin-
terruptedly ever since. Some of these
notes will mature early In the coming
year. and arrangements 10 fund them
Will have 10 be made during autumn

Evident the climate is here to stay;
it is the business of those who live
in it to keep in touch with it by

course, always apply to those who
lack natural vigor or have been en-

as pneumonia, colds and coughs at

How the Chiefs squaw Found New
Dish,

Zone morning the mighty hunter,
Woksis, babe his wife cook for his
dinner a choice bit of moose meat,
and have it ready when the tail stick
which he stuck in the snow-drift should
throw its shadow to a certain point
Moqua was meek wife, so she prom
ised to obey, and well did she know
her fate in case of failure. After her
lord departed she hewed off the meat
with her sharpest stone knife, and
filling an earthen pot. or kokh, with
snow for melting, she hung it over
the fire.
Then she sat down to her embroid-
cry. 1t was her pride that Woksis,
her lordly husband, should sport the
gayest moccasins in the tribe, and
many hours did she spend every day
In working with bright colored porcu-
pine quilts. For no brave in all that
country was so warlike as Woksis, no
squaw SO skilled in embroidery as
Moqua. AS she worked on the moe
casins hours passed as minutes. She
took no note of time, so busy was she
in her labor of love. Suddenly she
heard startling noise, the bark string
that held the kokh suspended was
burned off, and a quenching, scattering
explosion followed the overthrow of
the pot.
What could she do? There was no
she must boil the moose meat before
her lords return. 1t was growing late,
there was no time to melt more snow,
so Selling a birch bucket of maple
water that was always tapped in the
spring for it's sweet flavor, she filled
the kokh anew and hung it over the
mended fire. Into it she pounded corn
to bake on the slab before the fire.
Then she resumed her embroidery, in
which the quilts were both needle and
thread. She was working the totem
of her race, the bear. so different from
the wolves, eagles and turtles of other
tribes

past the mark; the fire burned low;
the once juicy meat was shirveled

liquid. When she saw this the fright
ened squaw ran into the bushes and
hid herself from the rage of her COM
ing lord After long and silent wait
ing she carefully drew near the camp
once more, and what did she see?
There was Woksis devouring the NOR
sci of moose meat, and her wonder was
great when he deliberately broke the
earthen pot and carefully licked out
the last vestige of her spoiled cook
ing.
"She forgot her fears and cried out
in surprise. When discovering her
