The Peasant Girls Prisoner.

Harper's Young People.
A jaunty young student on his way
to the examinations in distant
city met in narrow path young wo-
man carrying wood. He said to HIM
self, "She is a peasant, woman, and
young; those are three good reasons
why she should yield the road to me.
She said to herself, "He is empty
handed, and I am burden-bearer; he
must therefore make way for me to
pass" So the two, each determined
that the other should step aside, came
face to face and halted. The stop
page soon became irksome, and the
woman proposed to settle the ques-
ton in rhyming bout, in which she
would give the word for which he
should furnish the rhyme. If he
rhymed aptly, she would follow him
as his servant; if he failed, he should
follow her, and do her bidding. Nev-
er doubling that he could make a
rhyme on any subject she could men-
ton, he hastily assented; whereupon
she threw off hex splint hat, set down
her wood, took her carrying pole

from her shoulder, placed it vertically
before her, and awaited his response
to her unspoken word. The student
was perplexcd. and vainly gazed at
the pole.
"Come," said she, my target is
placed; why do you not shoot: Since
you are literary man, and | am only
poor peasant girl, you should be
able to compose stanza on any sub
ject I suggest
The young fellow became more con-
fused under her teasing, and, tlndlng
himself unable 70 make verse. told
her 70 90 home and he would follow
as her servant. She made him carry
the wood, and. after they reached her
cabin by the bank of river, she sent
him to draw water, wash clothes. and
do all sorts of menial work. Days
passed, and still he could devise no
appropriate couplet on the carrying
pole
One day, when he was on the RIVER
| bank washing vegetables, boat went
by full of merry young men returning
homeward from the examinations
One of the passengers, seeing and rec
ognizing him, hailed him as his lost
chum and landed to inquire why he
was there washing vegetables, when
all at the examinations were wonder
ing at his absence, and fearing that
he had met with some grave accident.
He thereupon told his story to his
friend and thus explained his sad
plight.
His friend said: go and ask your
peasant to allow me to try my skill
on the pole"
"Oh, no." said the captive; you
will fail, as l have done, and then this
wien will have two slaves instead OF
one"
"Never mind" responded his
friend; II will take the chance of free
ing you or of becoming your compan>
ion in servitude. Go and bring the
girl out for parley."
The girl received the newcomer
complacently, heard his proposition
that he should in his friends stead
make rhyme to her subject, with
the condition that, if he failed, both
should be her slaves; while, if he sue
ceeded, she should free her present
slave and become the rhymster's wife.
Again she placed her carrying pole
before her, and at once the student
responded:
"Wood like this may be found on the
hill everywhere;
In a flock of wild cranes each is one
of pair"
She could not dispute the accuracy
of the statement in the first line OF
the couplet, and perceiving in the Sec
ond line the assertion that she was
the mate OF this bird of passage, she
prepared to follow his fortunes.

BRISK ADVANCES
SCORED IN STOCKS
The Start However Proved TO
be False
INTEREST Is DYING OUT
Conference at Washington Regarding
Action on Corporate Legislation
Was Most Important Influence
of the Day.
INTEREST is DYING OUT

New York, January 9.-The second
week of the new year in the stock mar
ket started off with some animation and
brisk advances were scored pretty gener-
ally. But the start proved a false one
like that one of the first week of the
year, and interest had almost completely
died out by the afternoon. 1t was APP
parent that the movement represented
very largely trial of speculative senti-
ment on the part of professional oper-
ators, and the restless class of traders
who are nursing disappointment on ac-
count of the failure of outside interest
to develop in the market.
The incident from which most was
hoped for providing effect on the trading
was the outcome of the conference OF
political leaders held in Washington on
Saturday afternoon. The current reports
regarding this conference were without
official sanction and varied considerably
In their details. But they were generally
agreed that 1t had been decided that 1t
would not be feasible to act during the
present session on the subject of corpo-
rate legislation. Wall street is peculiarly
sensitive on this subject, and showed evil
dence of more contentment over this
prospect of delay and satisfaction over
the reported decision to hold an extra
sessi, of congress in the fall to act
upon tariff revision. The disappointing
bank statement of Saturday was little
regarded in view of the increasing ease
In the money market. Loans for sixty
days could be had below three per cent
today, and for six months the rate fell
to 81 per cent, with growing complaisance
on the part of lenders regarding collat-
nral.
The preparation for further extensive
gold exports this week were also deprived
of much of their effect by this condition
of the local money market. With dis
counts advancing. in London and the
prospect of some further large loan issues
in that market the movement of capital
to that center from where with money

to be wondered at. The routine news of
the day reported the freight movement

was fairly general as was the afternoon

Market Letter of w. L. Sims & Co.

Cotton-Liverpools opening was about
points below what was expected. Later
cables, however, registered an advance
of points, and markets on this side
sympathized accordingly. From the
opening figures in New York to the high
point there was advance of 8 points,
which was subsequently lost, and at 100
the market was IA to 10 points down from
the best figures of the day.
The New Orleans exchange was closed
on account of holiday, but curb trading
was In force.
Liverpool reported a very narrow mar
ket. New York wired that traders were
long and trying to bull the market, but
would be taken out freely on a decline
of 15 to 20 points.
New Orleans sales to / p. m. were $500
bales of spots at unchanged figures. Our
connections continue to favor the bear
side on all bulges.
Grain-Wheat had good advance today
and higher prices are freely predicted.
Cash demand for good milling wheat is
excellent. The visible supply shows a
large decrease, and bulls are talking sl.25.
Reactions are to be expected, but barring
these a higher level is likely to be estab-
lished. Oats and corn remain without
special feature. Provisions are also with
out quotable change.

NEW ORLEANS WAS
CLOSED FOR DAY
Result Was Very Quiet Market
in New York
CLOSED AT THE LOWEST
Comparatively Little Cotton Was For
Sale Early and Private Advlces
From South Reported Spots
Very Firm.

New York, January 9.-The cotton mar
ket was generally quiet. Thu closing of
New Orleans for Battle of New Orleans
Day" probably had some influence in
curtailing business. The market, after
ruling quite steady In the early trad
ing turned easily In the afternoon on
bear pressure, based on reports Of freer
spot offerings in tho south, and closed
at the lowest.
The opening was steady at an advance
of one point to a decline of two points,
tho easier tendency Of tho later months
being somewhat lower than expected.
But there was comparatively little cot
ton for sale early and private reports
from the south received late on Saturday
reported very firm spot markets. Smaller
shorts covered, and some of the large
professionals seemed to bull the mar
ket, which slowly responded, working
up to net gain of about five to six
points. At this level smaller shorts turn
ed for profits. and later bearish mes
sages from New Orleans coupled with
some selling from that city weakened
the market. The close was steadied by
room shorts, but was almost at the low
level of the day or a net decline of five
to nine points. Sales were estimated at
10000 bales.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
q, 1856 bales against 1898 last week, and
81, 7O3 last year. For the week 100000 bales
against 197.70o last week and 1S2's01 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans
il. 1858, against 1928 last year; and at
Houston, 562s bales, against 44O7 last
year.
