Duty of a Gentleman

Gouverneur Morris tells the following in the
Reader Magazine for April:
ON another occasion, having returned from
playing poker at the club, my grandfather
said:
when man Is hard up he should borrow
but he must devote his energies to paving
back and remaining the equal of the man from
whom he has borrowed. If lie cannot pay
back let him be frank about it, for 1t is
better 10 steal than to cheat"
And again:
ITO ride straight and to shoot straight; to
win money cheerfully and to lose it cheerfully:
never to be boorishly in debt. or swinishiy
drunk, to enjoy flowers and music, and IL
possible to be in love with at least one good
woman, is half the duty OF a gentleman"
What is the other half, grandpapa?" 1 had
asked Of him.
why, to be a gentleman. OF course"
one night certain freethinker dined with
us, When he had gone my grandfather took
another drink. ITO get the taste out of my
mouth" he said; and when he had taken the
drink. standing: Edward" he said, ''never
undertake to patronze God If you feel that
YOU do not understand him. keep it to yourself.
1t is enough 10 know that you were dust and
he made man of YOU that you grow weary
at length and he gives you sleep"

NEW YORK, May 20.-Today' s
stock market started off rather hope
fully, but before the end of two hours
session depression had closed in again
and the closing was weak at consider
able net losses throughout.
The supply of stocks from abroad,
which had been a feature recently was
Interrupted today by the professional
traders, who had sold the market
short yesterday, were therefore effec-
tive in lifting prices, advances run
ming to a point or more in many of
the prominent market leaders.
There was no effective demand follow
ing this advance and by the end of the
fisrt hour liquidating sales began to
dribble on the market. The current
increases in force and after the ap-
pearance of the bank statement be-
came somewhat precipitate.
The bank showing. formed practical
ly the only item of news which was
of influence in the trading. The shrink
age in the cash reserve of S4,759 900
proved somewhat less than the pre-
hminary estimates. Aattention CEN
tered on the loan item, which was ex-
panded upwards of $20,0OO,OOO.
In addition to deposits which ex-
panded the reserve requirement by
almost as much as the shrinkage in
cash, resulted in a decrease of over so
per cent in the surplus reserve, bring
ing it down to $S,219, 975. Upwards of
16,0O0,0O0 of the loan expansion was
made by single institution, and is
attributed largely to the underwriting
subscriptions to the $100,0OO0OO Penn
sylvania bond issue, so per cent of
which was paid in during the past
week.
On Thursday of the coming week the
final installment on the Japanese loan
allotment will call for some $S0,O0O, 900.
Sterling exchange made a further ad-
vance today and it is evident that
preparations are being made for the
remlttances in the Japanese loan SUBJ
scr1pt1on. 1t is not believed by bank
ing authorities that these remittances
can be compelled without a large ex
port of gold, unless the rate for money
mere should rise to a level to offer an
attraction for the leaving of proceeds
of the loan in New York for use in
the money market. In spite of the
great ease of money up to the pres
ent time, these conditions had their
erect In inducing a renewal of spec-
ulative liquidation. The mercantile
agencies also reported some interrun-
ton to retail demand for merchandise
owing to the backward season and the
caution spirits in the demand for more
requirements.

July were shade to B@Ac lower, at
S67s@S7c. On reports of additional rain
in many portions of the southwest,
good demand developed.
Several prominent traders were con-
spicuous buyers. After a short period
Of hesitancy, the market assumed a
firm undertone. Throughout the re-
mainder Of the session, the fear of de-
terioration in the winter wheat crop
formed the basis of a persistent de-
mand. Higher prices for wheat at all
grain centers helped to create bullish
sentiment in optional trading For
July, the highest point of the day was
reached at SS3sc. The market closed

Noisy Little erIefs

Never Judge grief by the noise IL makes"
said Judge GildersleeYe, when asked why he
did not sympathize more deeply with a man
who emphasized his woes with walls and
groans. His trouble is not very great. The
little griefs. like the ones that have them,
are always the most clamOrous. Those Of
older growth and greater magnitude are
generally tranquil and sometimes silent. In
this respect human minds are a good deal
like badly built vehicles: when they have
little TO carry they raise a prodigious clat-
ter, but when they are heavily laden they
neither rumble nor groan."
