Some obstacles were met during the

most notable of these was the selling

dation following the settlement mar
ket OF itself being felt again in that
market. But this influence proved less
effective than the comprehensive rcyiv-
al OF full line Of merger and dividend
Increase rnmOrs. which havo served
the purpose OF advancing prices several
times already. Those bearing upon the
Northern Securities adjustment were
especially prominent and there was
added to them the new suggestion of II
proposed retirement of the Burlington
PURCHASE bonds by an issue of new
stock by the Holding companies.
Amongst the industrals old rumors
of combination were revived by the
news of Il plan for tic absorption OF
the Rubber Goods Company by the
United States Rubber Company and
by the wide scope disclosed in the or.
gani2ation Of the new American Smclt-

Large payments to the subtreasury

willing to help in such manner: the groom
pulled him UP into the saddle and they
were off, up the yard But as they reached
the stable door Lady Bet gave sudden
lurch to one side, wheeled, jerking the rein
from the hand of the groom, and, whinny-
ing wildly. dashed out Of the yard and
down the street. She had just remembered
that she had beautiful half-grown colt
at home. How the dust flew! Chatter,

Jerry hardly knew what had happened TO
him, but he held on the best he could. 1t
was his first horseback ride. and the saddle
bumped against him and jumped him and
jounced him, this way and that way; his
legs wobbled about. but with his arms he
held on tight to the crupper of the saddle

voice, but, strange to say, every time he

An Eskimo Girls Ball Dress.

When an Eskimo young lady goes to a
ball she is a gorgeous sight to- gaze upon.
You did not know that they had dances in
her country7 Well, they do. and a traveller
reports just how belle was dressed on
such an occasion.
Her dress was made OF the intestines of
seal. split and sewed together. This
makes a transparent garment and the girl
trimmed 1t with elaborate embroidery of
colored worsteds and fringed 1t with strings
of beads Her trousers were white and
made OF Siberian reindeer skin embroidered
with strips Of wolf skin. Her hair was
braided each side with strips of wolf
skin and strips of beads. Heavy neck
laces and pendants Of beads and teeth of
animals hung around her neck and over
her shoulders. Snow-white gloves made of
fawn skin were on her hands. These fitted
perfectly and were ornamented with strips
of skin from some animal-perhap the
seal. To complete this elaborate outfit this
Eskimo belle carried in her hand-not
bouquet-but a long eagle feather. In fact.
she carried two, one In each hand. which
she waved as she danced. No doubt this
young lady made charming picture. At
least the young galIants of her set thought
she did.

although he knew the people in the auto.
he could not be polite and raise his cap to
them. "Oh. dear" said Jerry to himself.
why did I ever wish for a real horse? A
play horse never hurt like this!"Just then
Lady Bet turned to the right, and, DASH

race. She had suddenly remembered a

Gus, grabbed the cap in his teeth. stood on

The groom soon arrived, followed by Mrs.

she said. ''Shure. the little bye's not to

Everything was all right. Jerry was tired
and sore and bruised and frightened. but
not hurt bit. And the little yellow dog
came around soon. and parked at the colt,
who continued to prance around, waving
the cap.
That night. when Jerry was going to
bed, he looked first at the chewed jockey
