YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Very Little Speculative Activity-Re-
 straint of Money Situation.

Very Little Speculative Activity-Re-
 straint of Money Situation. Z New York, Sept. 26.3There was very little speculative activity in the stock market to-day owing to the restraint of the money situation. The trading was lethargic at times and the price movement was insignificant. Stocks in which the movement was of any conse- quence were of the less important grades. Apparently money lenders re- trained from the active calling of loans, such as induced the liquidation of yes- terday, and holders of stocks were re- lieved from the necessity of marketing their holdings. But in spite of the free dom from pressure on this account there was little disposition to under take new ventures in the market in face of the uncertain money prospects. While no large recall of credits occur red, it was the common understanding that banking authorities were in a mood of disapproyal of placing funds for use in stock market operations. It was intimated that some of the recent large operators in stocks had been in- duced to reduce their lines by sugges- tions of this kind. It is estimated that the dividends and interest payable in October will call for between $71, ,000,0 ,00a and $72,O0O, 900. These requirements will follow closely upon any release of funds following the conclusion of this weeks syndicate transactions with the final installment on the Japanese loan sub scription in the background of next month.
 Meantime the interior demand for funds was reported to have set in again with increased force, and the same is true of the sub-treasury drain on the bank reserves. Foreign exchange here was decidedly strong to-day and moved away from the gold import point, while discounts hardened in London and Ber- lin.
 The news of the day was not impor- tant and the few stocks affected were under the influence Of individual causes. The rise in Amalgamated Cop per was accounted for by an advance ill the price of the metal and the in- creased Anaconda dividend. There was a special movement in traction stocks, led by Brooklyn Transit, which was shared by Chicago Union Traction. Chicago Subway on the curb dropped an extreme S1h, following a 9-point break yesterday. Reports of large pur- chases of iron abroad for American in- terests were taken to account for the firmness in the iron and steel stocks. The favorable weekly crop bulletin did not attract much attention, as the facts it contained were generally well known. The days net changes were insignifi- cant and the closing tone was irregu- lar.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,1O0,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 The antiquity of the figure is accept ed by all archeologists. Most authori- ties ascribe it to the Celtic period, while some have held that it represents an idol once worshipped by the Pagan West Saxons. Another view is that it was the work of the monks of the then newly found Benedictine Abbey of Cerne. Some color is given to this theory by the existence of a similar figure at Wilmington. in Sussex, where once stood a Benedictine priory.-Lon don Mail.

NEW ORLEANS TO LOS ANGELES
BY Theodore Tavares-Aeed 10 Years,
Glass C

We left New Orleans at about Il
o'clock In the morning and after we
got settled it was lnon, and so we
had our lunch. After Iunch we looked
out of the window for a while at the
beautiful scenery. We could see the
corn just getting ripe and waving in
the sunlight, and .the plowed fields
looking green and bright.
We passed through many small
towns, but El Paso, San Antonio and
Houston were the largest ones. Just
before starting from the city of Ell
Paso we saw few Mexican men and IA
little boy, who played on the violin
and sang very nicely.
AT one small Mexican village we
bought some Mexican cups from a man
who had a whole basketful at 10 cents
apiece. They were made by the ma
tives, who make them of red clay and
then bake them in the sun, after which
they paint flowers on them.
The water was in some places up
over the tracks. because most of the
country was flooded, which made it
very difficult to go over.
We passed up many high grades and
at one place we had to have two en-
gines to go up the grade. We passed
up it at night and were going up about
one thousand feet each hour
The day before we reached Los An
geles two of the gentlemen got off the
tain and bought two little Mexican
dogs, which were very pretty, being
brown and white. These they kept on
the train until we reached the city.
Just about an hour before we reached
Los Angeles, which we did about 2
o'clock, a sandstorm came up. We had
to close all the windows so that the
sand could not get into the car, and
when we looked out we could hardly
see anything.
The scenery was very different now
from our first days journey. Now, in
stead of the fields of corn and plowed
fields. we saw the orchards with rows
and rows of orange trees, their leaves
looking green and pretty.
From the train the mountain can be
seen far off covered with snow and
looking very beautiful against the deep
blue of the sky.
We had reached our destination now,
and We're very glad to arrive, for we
were all very tired from our long jour
ney of four days and three nights.
though we We're all very sorry to leave
the good people on the train, who were
SO kind.
We got off the train at the station
and saw about our trunks and then
took the car to the hotel, where we
stayed for few days until we were
able to find a house.

into the cool grass that grew by the
railroad track.
"Baby see twain, nen baby fin DON
ME" she murmured, as she saw the
train rounding curve in the distance.
Just as her tousled head was nodding
she caught sight of Johnnie laboriously
climbing over a fence across the track.
She squealed with delight as she
caught his eye, and scrambled to her
feet. His face blanched with terror
and he motioned her to go back, as she
trotted near the track. But all uncon-
scious of the nearness of the train, she
kept on.
Johnnie never knew how he reached
the track without his crutch. He
knew that he caught Ruth just in time,
and pushed her to safety. Then the
iron monster struck him and all grew
dark.
When he recovered he was lying in
his roomy attic. His legs felt strangely
light, and when he attempted to move
them he found they were gone. He
became aware that there were many
people in the attic, and he whispered
to Mother Robinson, who was bend
ing over him, that he wanted them to
go. Silently they filed out until no
one was left but Father and Mother
Robinson and little Ruth.
Johnnie smiled at Ruth, a peaceful,
glorious smile tnaJ IuSgeQ at the
watchers heartstrings.
"All safe, baby" he murmured. I'm
tired-so tired. Sing for me, Ruthie."
Unquestionngly the child contnenced
to sing Johnnie's favorite song. The
sweet treble broke now and then, the
baby lips pronounced the words
strangely, but to Johnnie it was
heavenly music.
L think when hear that sweet story OF
old,
When Jesus was here among men;
How he gathered the little ones into
His fold
I should like to have been with Him
then.
Johnnie lay quite still when she fin
ished looking out of the window. The
shadows were growing long and the
night wind rustled the leaves.
so tired" he whispered, signing.
A little ship had slipped softly from
life's troublesome river into eternitys
calm sea; little one had been gath
cred into the fold.

"Well," said the principal, "better
late than never. But now you do not
need to hold your fair; you have dis
posed of all your goods on generous
terms"
"But we do want to hold it, said
Mary. Miss Bloomsbury doesn't want
all the things. Well pay her back what
we make"
"Why, you knew!" gasped Miss
Bloomsbury.
Yes, 1 knew it," said Mary.
And so the sewing fair was held.
1t was a beautiful fair.
"Lopsided collars!" cried Minnie.
Buttons sewed on at this stand will
never come Off" cried Jeannette.
"Shirt waists that will fit one person
as well as another" cried Della.
stockings mended while you wait!"
chirped Mary.
"Pillows warranted to outlast any pill
low fight" pleaded Elsie.
1t was a beautiful fair, and to the sur
prise of every one the lumpy shirt
waists and the delinquent collars
brought in quite enough to buy back
Miss Bloomsbury's beautiful watch.
You may guess that the sewing class
were particularly pleased, and as for
Miss Bloomsbury-Well!

not seem much elated over having so
much.
After while Helen called Rose and
Ruth in and asked them if they wanted
some number work, which both seemed
very happy to have. Helen then gave
Rose an example first. Both children
thought very hard. Rose turned
around and counted on her fingers,
while Ruth turned around and looked
at the rag carpet on the floor. Finally
the answer was given, then it was
Ruth's turn, and so on, but Ruth never
counted on her fingers; she always
looked at the carpet while Rose used
her fingers. Both Mrs. Jones and Helen
said that she ought to be ashamed of
herself and should do as Ruth did
think it out. When Ruth's turn came
again hard problem was given her
which she could not solve, and finally
Rose obtained the answer; but still
Ruth was praised for doing her exam
pies in her head, when she said:
Rose counts on her fingers, but 1
have been counting the stripes in the
carpet"
At which both Mrs. Jones and Helen
laughed.

A LITTLE WAlF
BY Carrie Reynolds-Ased 1e Years
Class 3

Farmer Robinson shifted audibly as
he looked up at his wife. He had just
finished reading an article in the city
paper; simple little tale with touch
of pathos in it, a tale of a little waif,
fatherless, motherless, and crippled,
fighting his way in the great world.
All that was needed to make his weak
hip strong and to bring his health
back was fresh air, good food and low
ing care. He was only Waif-but he
had Gods breath in his body.
"I reckon the Lord gave us plenty so
as we could help Others" mused the
farmer.
1--WE can fix up the attic and he'll be
company for Ruthie.' said his wife.
with tears. his bright and shining, then
they slipped into the bedroom where
their daughter lay asleep.
And tnat was why Johnnie was sent
to the country one memorable after
noon. He was vaguely conscious of the
train ride, of being met by a CHEEKY,
loud-Voiced man, of being tucked into
a wagon under a warm robe, safe from
the rain, and of a dreamy drive. He
came fully to his senses when the
wagon drew up at the door of a white
farmhouse and the man carried him
into long, low-ceiled room where the
freight cast ruddy shadows on the
wall. AS the man deposited him on a
soft couch a sweet-voiced woman put
her arms about him and kissed him.
"Welcome, son." she said, world
of pity in her tender eyes
Something seemed to break in john
MES breast and he commenced to sob,
not boys light. superficial sob, but
deep. tearing ones that shook his frail
little body.
A little girl who had been gravely
looking on toddled to his side and
stroked his thin cheek
"Don' try" she cooed. "It huts me
inside wen 90 do. rs Rufie, and l
like 90 Vey much"
Johnnie responded to her baby COM
forting, and lay in contented silence,
while the rain beat gently on the win
dows. ilSsSxEgd
In the days that followed, when John
nie's weak hip grew stronger, his thin
face filled out and his blue eyes danced
with the joy of living, he was Ruths
slave. II it was in Johnnie's power, he
humored every whim of the sweet lit
tie despot. AS for her, she followed
him about until her father called her
"Johnnie's stickin' plaster"
One afternoon Mother Robinson sent
johnnie on an errand to a neighbor
who lived across the railroad track"
EIe pleaded that Ruth might accom-
pany him, but Mother Robinson de-
clared he had got enough to look after
himself. So, with many longing
glance at his little comrade, Johnnie
swung himself lightly down the road.
For While Ruth played contentedly
under the trees, then she decided that
Johnnie was staying too long and
started after him.
"Dess him losted hisself," she
scolded Baby fin him and he play
wifi baby"
Her chubby little legs soon grew
tired, but she kept ON with a per-
severance worthy of better cause.
Presently, however. she dropped down

USefuIArtiCIeS Constructed of Bent Iron

Did it ever occur to you what
number of pretty and useful things
could be made from some strips of
wire, pieces of stick and some black
paint?
Perhaps it may seem difficult to make
the objects shown in the illustrations,
but in reality they are very simple and
quite within the ability of any boy
or girl. The materials needed are some
narrow strips of metal. a few yards of
thin copper wire, a fiat and round
nosed pair of pliers and some thin
square sticks about the size that
screens run on when fastened inside
the casing of windows. Many of the
scrolls can be bent with the fingers,
but the short turns will require the
aid of the round nosed pliers. There
are places in every city where the
narrow strip iron can be had in two
or three widths, but if 1t cannot be
had at a hardware store, the strips
can. be cut any width from a sheet
of iron or tin with a pair of tin shears
Where the scrolls touch each other the
union is to be made with copper wire
bound round and the ends twisted to-
gether, as shown in Fig. l. Where a
stick is used, as IN the back Drace Tor
the candle bracket, each part of the
metal that touches it has to be fastened
also with the wire.
When all work is completed the parts
should be coated with two thin ap-
plications of black paint, made by add
ing dry lampblack to thin shellac so
it is about the consistency of cream
1t may then be applied with soft
hairbrush, and If it becomes too thick
it can be thinned with alcohol. Only
make a little of the black at one time
unless it is kept well corked in bot
tie.
A Candle Bracket
A simple and pretty pattern for a
candle bracket is shown in the illustra-
ton. The plan can be laid out to meas
ure twelve inches high and four inches
wide near the top, and the scrollwork
should be attached to stick quarter
of an inch square that in turn may be
fastened to door or window casing.
The best instruction Is to study the
drawing and make the plan lines as
near IL as possible.
The candle socket can be made from
Fig. 2, and for the sconce under it
an eight-eared star may be cut to
measure two inches in diameter, as
shown in Fig. 3,

with gingham apron over it. Ruth
had gone across the street to play with
her little friend Rose, a bright little
girl of 6, with light hair which was
tied on the side of her head and looked
as though it had been chewed off. Rose
had on a gingham dress which had
been clean when put on, but now-it
was a sight.
Rose liked to play house and finally
Ruth was persuaded to, so they went
around to Roses back yard, nice,
cool, shady place, near the porch. A
large pepper tree made the shade
and there it was decided to have their
house. So brooms were found and
they began to form their house by
making little piles of dirt for the
walls. While thus busily at work Ruth
was called home to take her music les
son, so, of course, Rose did not finish
making the house, but went to play
with Harold and Peter, two little boys
that lived next door to the girls.
Finally she became tired of them and
went home and lay down until Ruth
had finished her lesson.
Soon as Ruth was through over she
went to Roses and together they start
ed over again to make their house. 1t
was decided that they should keep

on planning what room this should be
and who should sleep here.
While they were playing Roses
mother, Mrs. Jones, and her sister
Helen, were in the kitchen putting W
fruit. In a little while the two chill
dren became interested in the canning
of fruit and were very anxious to help
so as there were a number of panfuls
of peelings to be thrown away, either
Rose or Ruth would carry painful ou-
and give it to the chickens, which did

such as this light bent iron work.
1t is always best to mark out the de-
sign on a piece of smooth, heavy pa
per with a black lead pencil. over
the lines 1t will be much easier to bend
and tit the scrolls than to guess at
the proper shape and size, for the
drawn line is a perfect guide to the
completed work.

Muskogee, l. T., May PA heavy
blow was administered to the recall
citrant governors Of the Choctaw and

stating that the secretary has author

UNION MEN INDICTED.
CAIcaEO Grand Jury Charges MAN
slaughter ana Conspiracy
Against Twelve.

Chicago, May 24-Ths grand jury
Tuesday indicted IL men in connection
with the death Of Charles Carlstrom,
the member Of the Carriage Makers
union who died as the result Of the
beating he received at the hands Of
thugs, hired by the officials Of the
union, according to their own story.
The indicted men are George Meller,
formerly president of the union; Hem
ry ]. Neuman, secretary; Charles J.
Casey, business agent; six members Of
the executive committee of the union
and Charles Gilhooley, Marcus Looney
and Edward Felley. the three men who
were hired by the oficials Of the union
to beat men who did not 80 on strike
or took the strikers places.
The indictments charge manslaught-
err and conspiracy to commit great
bodily injury, the autopsy having
shown that the death Of carlstrom was
due directly to Pneumonia. The ply
sicians declared that the disease was
probably the result Of the injuries he
received. but II was still the direct
cause Of death, and the men could not
therefore be charged with murder.
