lRY James Hunt CO0k.l

The early sunlight filtered
through the filmy draperies to
where a wondering baby stretched
his dimpled hands to catch the
rays that lit his face and flesh
like dawn lights up a rose. his
startled gaze caught and held the
dawn Of day in rapturous LOOKS
that spoke the dawn of Self, for
with the morning CLEAN out came
the greater wonder. 1t was the
mystery Of Life
Across a cradle where, sunk IN
satin pillows, lay a still, pale
form as droops a rose from some
fierce heat, the evening shadows
aslant. and spoke OF peace. The
twilight calm enclosed the world
in silence deep as Truth, and on
the little face the wondering look
had given place to one OF sweet
repcse. 1t was the mystery OF
Death.
At head and foot the tapers
burned, a golden light that Glove
the night as Hope the encircling
gloom. Across the cot where lay
the fair, frail form, his hand
reached out to hers and met and
cIasped in tender burning touch.
Into the eyes Of each there came
the look that is the light Of life;
that spoke of self to each, yet
told they two were one. 1t was
the mystery to which the mys-
teries, Life and Death, bow down
the mystery Of Love.

Standard Oil Drops $4,000, 900.

A Republic New York special of
the DIST says: Ten million dollars
additional Topped off the market of
Standard Oil stock in the Broad
street curb to-day. Under the
steady selling OF small lots the
price declined from Go to 800, Il
drop of II points, but it recovered
4 points before closing, which was
GOO.
At the extreme low price OF 500
to day the stock sold exactly 10
points under the price prevailing Il
week ago, when it changed hands
at GAG. Fifteen points of this is
due to the quarterly dividend.
The actual net decline, therefore

points, equal to II shrinkage of
S3l 600, 900 in the selling value
of the company's 500, O0O, 600 out ..

In Wall street no other cause is
assigned for the decline than the
