NEW YORK, May 12-Stocks made
a considerable show of strength today
and the demand expanded sufficiently
to almost double the volume of trans.
actions over that of several previous
days. The dull resisting power shown
by the market this week gave notice
that the liquidation had spent itself,
Tor it was evident from the small re.
covery effected up to late yesterday
that there must be considerable out
standing short interest which had re-
trained from covering in the expecta-
ton that there was to be q renewal of
!, the liquidation.
The sharp furry late yesterday In
the Northern Securities group demon
strated the vulnerable position Of this
short interest and served to encour-
age continuance OF the campaign

ed In hesitation and there were sew
eral halts before 1t gained Roadway
and spread to include pretty much the

The movement had to contend with
the sharp weakness of Consolidated
and Brooklyn Union Gas on account of
a reduction In their dividends. induced
by the legislation towards the enforce.

ed as in large part directed against
the short interest and the forced COW

PAT.

AS there are no items from Pat, may
I step in a minute to say how / ap-
preciate the W. O. T. U column, and
express my thoughts in regard to the
dear old month that is fast passing
away. Just think. November is fast
drawing to close, and each month
possesses the cheer we give it, / sim
cerely hope all have enjoyed Novem-
Der and that it has been one of the
fappiest months of the year that every
heart may offer thanks to God for his
numerous blessings. What if there
are rainy days? They are needed,
and there is great deal of comfort in
remembering that the harvest is safely
stored away. and that we've nothing
to do but make the most Of every t
of pleasure that comes our way.
November takes it's name from the
Latin word 'Novem ''-nine, it being
the ninth month of the old Roman
year. At first it contained thirty
days, afterward the number was
reduced to twenty mine. and julius
Caesar gave it thirty zone. In the
reign of Augustus, however, the
number was restored to thirty, and SO
has since remained. In conn ection
with the religious rites of the Romans
November was one Of the most i'm
portant months. We should not only
make November one of the most inn
portant months, but be thankful to
God for the blessings we receive each
day, and may God help us not to live
for ourselves alone, but for the glory
of God.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Of course every husband and wife
know their duty toward each other, but
still they grow little negligent some.
times and very often few words will
cause them to be more thoughtful and
press them to their duty again.
They should always try to be agree
able, and, if one should become a little
cross over something that has not gone
just as wished, let the other be smiling
and cheerful. Never both be angry at
the same time.
Wife, when the husband comes in
from his work tired, always meet him
with smile, have the house neat and
tidy, everything in its place, have his
meals on time and something he may
relish to eat, for work gives a man an
appetite, and they do not like to come in
and wait for meal when they are hun
cry.
Husband, if you should come in and
find things different from the way you
would like them to be, do not become
cross and snap around about everything;
and if you should be so cruel as to do
such thing when you overcome your
(the Wlfe) and confess you have done
wrong. By 50 doing you will heal the
wound that was so painful to her.
Man should not expect too much of his
wife. He must remember she is to frail
being to battle with all he hardships
of this world. There are many ways in
which the husband may be of help to the
wife, and we think he should try to help
in all; so we think the wife should help
the husband in any way her health will
allow, trying to grant all his wishes.
Some of them may seem unreasonable at
first. but we know the wishes of true
devoted husband will prove for the best.

Home Circle Column.

Every wife should be a helpmate to her
husband. For instance, if you have the
pleasure of large washing before you
and he has the laborous task of going to
the city, or taking trip through the
country, change work with him, let him
help you wash in the forenoon and you
help him ride in the afternoon. A good
wife will deny herself to entertain her
husband, especially on wash day. But
some men will say, "When come down
to that I'll hire it DONE" We find no
fault with hiring it done, but as to
coming down to help woman, my dear
sir, who created you so far above wo-
man that yon have to condeScend to come
down? We know that the Bible says
1.-THE husband shall be the head of the
household" but it also says that "the
wife shall be crown to him." and you
know that the crown is little higher and
just above the head. Such being the
case come up, gentlemen, on level with
your wives and assist in the home when
ever you can do so without infringing
upon larger and more important duties.
There will be flfty-three Sundays in
this year. an occurrence that will not hap
pen.again for 10 years. This extra Sum
day can be utilized in attending church,
calling on your best girl, reading the
scripture, playing with the children,
breaking two-year old colt or some
othe way. One hundred and ten years
from this date you will probably be pay
ing the penalty or enjoying the pleasures
of the method in which you choose to
spend this extra Sunday.
