netted bed. He would marry a pretty
English girl, like n of the many he
remembered long ago in his village
home. Then thought number two
slipped in, spelling the first. How was
it to be done? He could not find an
English girl out there. In all British
East Africa there were probably not q
dozen to be found.
But thought number three came sud
denly to the rescue. His brother in
England! Why not trust him to find a
wife for him?
Scarcely had the first train vanished
into the forest than John Stobbs re-
tired to his Office and, in careful words
penned to his brother the great idea
that had come to him in the night.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-10-27

In England Johns brother sat with
brows contracted. Before him a letter
lay open, bearing the stamp of British
East Africa. Here was a commission
the like of which he had never known
before. His brother said he was lone
ly-wanted a wife-and actually asked
him to select one for him.
Well, he would do his best. And
forthwith he set about seeking amongst
his friends and acquaintance a girl
whom he thought his brother would
have chosen had he been there to see
At last he discovered a girl who, he
thought, possessed all the virtues his
brother admired. And now came the
delicate task of proposing on another's
behalf. However, he overcame the diff
ficulty and, painting his brother in
glowing words, the girls objections,
too.
So one day John found a'letter. adj
dressed in a girlish hand, lying on his
desk. His heart fluttered in a most UNI
accountable manner as, by some intui-
ton, he knew that the first step in his
idea had been accomplished.
And now came several months, in
which he wrote to bis little English
sweetheart" for thus, in thought. he
fondly termed her. And each mai he,
too, received a letter telling of her
home, hoping he was not lonely. and,
finally, saying that she was coming
out to him.

not this increased production soon cause an abrupt decline in copper prices?" The big increase in supply is already reality, and though the mines of America are now sending an unprecedented tonnage of refined copper to market, the consumption of the metal has grown much more rapidly than production. While there is good prospect that the con sumption of copper will continue to increase in a constantly expanding ratio, it is practically certain that the worlds production will not be more than 3 per cent. to per cent. greater than in 1906; whereas the normal annual increase in production has heretofore been per cent. to 10 per cent.

Walkers weekly letter to the Bos- ton Commercial is as follow: Copper is higher. Lake is now selling at IT cents, and electrolytic at 164 cents per pound for delivery in January and February. Consumers are find ing it difficult to discover any copper for sale for delivery at an earlier date than January, and report says that sales have been made at IT and IF cents, immediate delivery. There is a marked scarcity of spot copper, and some consumers have not taken care of their full require ments up to the end of the year. It is not improbable, therefore, that very high prices may be paid for cash copper between now and the begin ming of the new year. Consumers are becoming alarmed over the situation and are disposed to buy more freely for advance account. There is now every prospect that ap- proximately the present level of prices will be maintained during the first half of 1906, and perhaps muUh longer. Amusement is expressed that metal prices can be maintained at the present level in view of the tremendous increase in production; and the question is asked: twill
