though he is so near he might put out
his hand and touch her rounded arm.
All! AS her anxious gaze wanders
this way and that, her eyes rest upon
his face. Jack no longer endeavors to
disguise himself. since his enemies
know of his presence, and he might
get into trouble with the authorities
while sailing around under a name
and conditions that do not agree with
his passport.

Thousands of Centuries Re-EchO
in the Blowing of Horns To-Day


When God. creating out OF nought.
This world into existence brought
And framed by His Almighty hand
Whose order, beauty. harmony,
We everywhere can plainly see;
whose every part below above,
rhe smhpTess bears Yns OF & gracious rst ra Love
The coronation of the Lord.
Thus, from its first mention up to
the present period, has the shophar
been given the most profound and
grave consideration.
Besides the sounding of the horn in
the hour of religious and joyous festi-
val it was brought into use in time of
war to summon and assemble the
army, and in this respect it is first
mentioned in Judges. iii:27:
And 1t came to pass, when he was come.
that he blew trumpet in the mountain
of Ephraim. and the children of Israel
went down with him from the mount.
and he before them.
Subsequent verses relate the defeat
of 10000 lusty men and the downfalli
of Moab, much resembling the bloody
conflicts of later centuries, sans ma
! chinery of modern warfare.
And here we find the horn brought
into military use, which is a long step
from its initial requirements, when it
served to bring the people together to
hear the law read amid the thundering
and lightning and darkness which
after prevailed and filed the assem-
bled multitude with awe and fear
After all, in comparing the past
| with the present there seems but the
difference In the manufacture, design
and manipulation of material and the
advantages in these times of having
more powerful and more scientific i'm
plements with which to annihilate a
| foe. Indeed. it is doubtful whether
anything could be more effective on
modern battlefield than the staying of
10000 valiant men, as was done by the
! Israelites who answered the shophars
call to arms.
| The shophar has been utilized in
other than times of law-giving and
war, for it is told in Isaiah xxvii:13;
| And it shall come to pass in that day
ana they shall eome pe Which saa we're re peadg
| to perish in the land OF Assyria. and the
outcasts In the land OF Egypt, and shall
| worship the Lord In the holy mount at
| Jerusalem.
The prophet foretold that the sho-
phar should announce the recall OF the
people from exile. Therefore it is
seen hoN, stride by stride, the sho-
| phar, the horn or trumpet grew In use
and favor and need in the worlds
earliest period.
| Its sounds were welcomed by those
to whom the law was handed down,
its notes were and are maintained by
one denomination to voice the ami
versary of Gods coronation.
BY that same people its sound is re-
sorted to as an alarm or warning of
the approach of the day of atonement
and that they should review the ac-
tions of the past year and prepare to
become reconciled to God by means of
confession to him of their sins and
promise of amendment.
One other reason for the blowing
of the shophar, even at this period.
is to emphasize, to the Jewish COM
munity the conviction that the time
will come when the shophar win an
nounce. according to the word of the
prophet. universal freedom when all
oppression and tyranny shall vanish
and the reign of absolute liberty will
be manifested throughout the world.

HOLDERS DISPOSED
 ID TAKE PROFITS Stock Market Afflicted by Se-
 curities Decision SOON GOT ITS BEARING
Foreign Markets Take View That Rus sian Reverses Bring Peace Nearer and Securities Were Strength
 ened as a Result.

New York March 6.-Wall street main- tained today the more conservative atti- tude towards speculation, was assumed last week as the result of the sharp re- actions in prices and the manifest dis positlon of holders to unload on the higher flights, which prices took before the reactions The handing down of de- cision by the supreme court on the aues- tion of the injunction against the distri- button of Northern Securities assets, stir rcd the market, but even that potent sub Ject was of moderate effect compared with the frenzied movements which have followed the suggestions and expectations of a decision in the past.
 Some part of this response was due probably to the doubt and confusion over the scope of the decision, due to conflict ing reports on the subject and the with holding of the opinion accompanying the decision. The receipt of the news was un- expected and may have found plans for action on 1t urtil prepared. There was natural skepticism also as to whether the definite result had bene reached clearing away the possibilities of further obstruc- ton to the operation of the plan to dis tribute the assets of the company. There was some revival of activity again in the stocks immediately affected when the definite character of the decision became better understood. But this subject has so often and so powerfully figured as factor in lifting the market that the ques- ton was suggested to the speculative mind whether its influence was not already more than accounted for, as much as oth- CT general influences. of which there is growing disposition to consider suf- flciently discounted.
 The bearing of the decision on the re- spective interests of the parties contesting has been largely modified by the progress of events in the stock market. The Union Pacific contention against receipt of DOT tions of both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific stocks in place of the Northern Pacific holdings, first contrib uted to the merger, was on the ground that this plan would represent a large discrepancy in the valuation of assets as compared with it's original holdings. The great enhancement In market valuations, which has since occurred, has gone far to settle this contention. The action of the market reflected the feelings that the potentiality of the subject ps a market factor was largely exhausted. Foreign markets again took the view that Rus sian reverses tended to bring peace nearer and a strengthening effect on securities was the result Our own market started off with considerable show of strength, but the weight of offerings to be ab- sorbed on the advance became effectively manifest at once. Such points of strength as developed afterwards were due to spe- cial causes The Gould southwesterns ad- vaneed on the cheerful views regarding
