 E "He will come, Charles; know he wtIl!'' she insisted, and nothing Browne could say could shake her confidence in the arrival of her mysterious friend.

But although his tones were quiet, he was as excited and anxious as Judith herself, for he felt his life and hers depended upon the issue of the present crisis. A few moments passed in silent waiting. A cab came slowly into view. To Browne's surprise, it stopped at the gate.
 Docs Miss CIermont live here?" the cabman inquired.
 ''Yes,' Browne replied, ''have you news for herr"
 The man did not reply, but lifted out and slowly bore up the steps the un- conscious form of handsome French man. For a moment Judith seemed stunned, then she quietly led the way toa bed room, and asked that her mother and physician be summoned. A for eigner who had assisted the cabman in

 W. o. Tiff one writes a song he thinks is worth something, where can he sell it?, Is it the words or the nnu- sic that brings the big money? If one writes the words, where can he get the music written? Does a song have to be copyrighted?
 A. Submit it to music publisher. Either words or music will sell for what they are considered worth and naturally both in combination sooner demonstrate value. You can get the names of music writers from sheet music or from catalogues. A song need not be copyrighted, but if not copyrighted any publisher can print and selltft. Copyright costs only half dollar.

 A. The British captured Buenos Ayres June 21, 1906, and the city was retaken August 12 in the same year, after 8 three days battle. The British suffered a severe repulse under Gen eral WhiteIock, who was disgraced July 6, 1907:
 -- J. C.-Please let me know what the zenstvos of Russia are and what they ask of the Russian senate?
 A. The methods of the Russian government are difficult to under stand at this distance. Many suppose that the czar is supreme, but the fact is that his power is derived from an obligarchy which keeps actual power in it's own hands. There is much req son to belieYes e that the tcSar personal- ly is far more liberal and huniane than the coterie which surrounds and governs him. The zemstvos demand measure of representative govern ment which seems very reasonable to the civilized world, but cannot be con sidered as other than revolutionary by those who now enjoy special privi- 1eges.

CHRISTMAS IN THE GHETTO.

4r as se sN 8s f Strange sight of OrthOdOx Jews Ce1-a : ebrating the Christian Festival.
 The American Christmas suffers a strange fate in the Ghetto of New York, says a writer in the Worlds Work for December. Nine-tenths of its Jews are from Russia. There every church festival is purely religious, and on Christmas the Jews crouch behind barricaded doors in terror of outrage by peasants drunk with vodka. Here I've lay little stress on the religious side of it, and the majority of the adult Jews in the Ghetto do not know that it is anything more than the principal social festival of the year. Many of them think it is kind of children's day and nothing else. And so, in igno- rance of it's origin, many a Jew who is so orthodox that he would not allow an English book to lie on a table touch ing a volume of his holy Hebrew will yet permit his children to join in the merriment
 Peddlers and those who work in the factories feel the difference in the sea- son and the increasing volume of busi- ness and fall into sympathy with their general environment A very large number of them give presents to the children and allow them to hang up their stockings on Christmas eve. They will not, however, have tree in their homes. There are no Christmas din- ners, the stores do not close, and the shops work on as usual. For their Santa Claus the little ones must visit a settlement house or their more for tunate friends wbose parents are less strict. And it is the less orthodox and their children who lead the way in adopting the new custom. Little Rachel cries for doll like Rebecca's on the floor below, and her orthodox mother cannot resist her tears.
 Christmas has so far made it's way among the Jews as a social festival that it already eclipses the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving day. Tn prepa- 1 ration for 1t, Grand street, the main avenue of the Ghetto in New York, is 'choked for an entire week with push carts and crowding shoppers. The stores display every kind of toy and sweetmeat for the children, with gilt tering gold and silver moss, candles, i trees, mistletoe and glazed colored 1 balls.
 ! Last Christmas fell on Friday, and when the people came out from the evening service at an east side syna- gogue many greeted each other with a i ''MerTy Christmas" The strangeness of the salutation seemed unnoticed.

o1, TIME HUsKIN, BEES.

AIem'ry often takes an cutting
 From the present passing show, Spreads her pinions and goes scouting To the scenes of long ago. Back unto the fun and frolic
 Of the rural sports and plays; Pleasures charmingly bucolic
 That were ours in younger days, And the very chief of these Were the country huskin' bees. On the old barn floor we'd gather, s Boys and girls and older folks, , Hearts as light as @downy feather,
 Lips all ripe with rustic jokes, Air just sparkling with our laughter As the gay hours onward sped Tntil every cobwebbed rafter
 In the shadows overhead Seemed to quiver and to ring As high-keyed fiddle string. Now and then the air was rfven
 With a shout t'd wake the dead When the fates had kindly given
 Some fair girl an ear of red. Then would come the kissing struggle Mid the husks upon the floor, After which the girl would snuggle
 To him closer than before, Flushing to her finger tips From the thrill upon her lips. How the jolly picture fingers
 With us through the f1eeting years Of the way the toil-scarred fingers
 Snatched the Jackets from the ears. Of the flashing lanterns hanging
 Round, and casting f1ickers o'er Merry dancers who were banging
 Dust from out the old barn floor. As the fiddler jerke6 his bow
 MusicalIy to and fro. Every day hear the singing
 Of some simple country ode. Melody of youth days ringing
 Through our mountainland abode, And my loving glances wander
 To an aging wifely face That learned to love back wonder In that far east country place Caught her with red ear, see? At a country husl1in' bee. James Barton Adams, in Denver Post.

MR.. SPANGLER'S
Report of Grain and Produce Com.
mittee.


Mr. President and members of the Can
ton Board of Trade.
! Gentlemen: Your committee on
grain and produce have nothing spe-
cial to report. The prices for small
! farm products during the past year
have been exceptionally good in Can
ton. Butter, eggs, potatoes, apples,
pork, beef and all commodities sold at
the market have been disposed of at
good prices. In the line of cereals oats,
and corn have brought good prices in
Canton. Wheat as usual has been fair
and prices generally have been better
last year than for several years past.
We regret, however, very much, that
the facilities for handling wheat in
Canton are very limited, and we sug-
gest that an effort be made in the near
future to secure for Canton large mil
ling capacity or an elevator sufficient
to handle all the grain raised in Stark
county. This is what Canton most
needs today to bring to our city our
farm products of all kinds. At present
we are only on an equal in the way of
handling grain with any of our smaller
towns in the county. And l would say
that every effort should be put forth
to induce our thriving Stark county
farmers to bring their grain to Can
ton, and in order to accomplish this
we must pay as good prices or better
than any Of these surrounding towns
The farmer Is one fthe principal fac
tors in the supply most needed by the
cities, and therefore is worthy our best
efforts to secure in our city, the county

all the securities on the market In the
shape of stocks, bonds ETC., reached
the aggregate of about one billion OF
dollars. That such an amazing loss In
values did not result in a great crash,
is most remarkable evidence Of the
enormous resources of the country and
the great ability of the men who man
age the vast financial and commercial
interests of this nation. Operations
running into hundreds of millions of
dollars, that few decades ago would
have been regarded as wild fancies of
q disordered mind, are not Of uncom-
mon occurrence, and do not excite more
than passing comment. Manufac-
turing companies are bought up and
consolidated into one great organiza-
ton, that controls substantially the
whole output of its class throughout
the country. Notwithstanding the
large shrinkage in securities In 1908,
our exports amounted in value to near
ly $1,400,000 900. being exceeded in only
one former year, 1901, when they
amounted to $1,46O, 900, 900, the largest
u
increase since the year 1860, when they
were $316,O0O00O The total money in
circulation in the United States, in
cluding coin, bullion and bank notes
4 In 1860 was $442 100000. in 1908 was
| 81, ,6S4, 100000

| of all classes, was 1854, having an
aggregate capital Of 31,652 100000, with
the total deposits of $l1,246, 900, 900.
The clearing house returns for 1903
show decreases In some of the eastern
cities, notably in New York City, where
they were about $4,000, 100000 less
than in the year preceding. The west
ern cities generally made better
showing Our own thriving little city
may congratulate herself on the follow
ing clearing house returns, indicating
steady and continuous growth.

The outlook for business at the pres
lent moment seems encouraging for the
current year. Our factories are book
ling numerous orders, there are indlca
tions of considerable building being
done in all parts Of the city, and oul
people generally are looking hopeful!
forward for a continuance of prosper
GUS times.
