Norfolk and Western suffered from dis

AS usual when there is an upward move
nent In a stock, there is no very definite
explanation given of the causes that lead
up to it. However, there are those that con-
lecture that the recent purchase of the
Monoline Company for cash taken from the
surplus, leaving an authorized issue of five
millions Of stock, looks so good that some
are inclined to think there may be some
thing in store for the stockholders.

LEGAL PHRASE LoGY.

What Some Of the TeDms Common to
Court Practice Mean.
To most persons the phrase ssThis In
denture witnesseth' is as much Greek
as the other common phrase Witness
my hand and seal" Yet both are relics
Of a time when these legal forms car
,ried with them significance not OBJ
tanning at present. ~ 5l.5 ~
Legal documents were once engross-
ed upon parchment because paper cost
30 much more than dressed skin. The
parchment was seldom trimmed ex-
actly and the top was scalloped with
the knife; hence the term "This In
denture" Even where the lawyers
have departed from the custom, still
obtaining in England, Of using parch-
ment for their Legal forms the phrase
has been retained.
In the same way the signature OF
''hand and seal. is relic Of those old
en- times when only clerks and the
clergy could WELD the pen It was the
custom for the CONTRACTING parties to-
lay their hands upon Tie document IN
token Of good faith, and there remained
4 smudge. As these original thumb
marks were not easily Identified, the
gentry added their seals for the pur-
pose Of further establishing the validity
OF the document. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that a seal II still required
In law, though the need for It passed
with the spread Of education, and the
bit Of red paper affixed by the lawyer
II as necessary as the signature to Ger
tain documents.
A court OF law is q "reminiscences Of
the time when Justice sat In the open
courtyard, and the dock Il from d
German word meaning q receptacle,
while the 'bar" Ii Welsh word
meaning branch OF a tree used to
separate the lords Of Justice from their
vassals.

DON'T KNOCK.

blanket on a prospective settler or
merchant upon his arrival looking for
q location than to meet UP with
local knocker. The good impressions
he has conceived of the place can be
forever BLASTED by a half hours talk
with one Of these drawbacks to ev-
cry community. Fortunate indeed
is the new arrival if the first people
he meets he those who realize they
do not concentrate in themselves the
entire responsibility Of their town or
section and who appreciate the fact
that increased population and capital
are essential to the prosperity Of their
region New blood in community is
as necessary to its healthy growth as
fresh air to mankind A pool undisl
turbed becomes stagnant and a mem
ace. s with people. Continuous iiv-
ing amid the same surroundings com
tracts ones energies and powers of
progressing with the onward march
Of civilization, and as result pes
simism creeps into mem and in time
they become immovably impressed
with the idea their section is no good,
and they really regret to see anyone
so foolish as to invest money in a
place they have come to conceive is
barren of possible development. These
mem need trip. They need to see
what is going on in the world, to see
what has been accomplished in other
sections and towns of far less worth
than their own, where the people work
as unit to common end and reach
thereby the highest prosperity. AT.
ter such a trip the probabilities are
ten to one the knocker comes to a
realization of the worth OF his own
section. Be ever ready to say a good
word for your home on all occasions.
It is fact that many towns have been
damaged more by the tongues of their
own inhabitants in giving gratuitous
information to prospective residents
than by all the evil said against it
by outsiders. You can't sell goods by
decrying their value, neither can you
build up town by airing grievances
against neighbors or expressing de-
trimental opinions to the stranger
within the gates. If the community
is made up OF rascals the newcomer
will soon catch on. The man or men
you say are no good ne may find to
be The best In town. Those you
praise may not fill the bill on close
inspection. III favored gossip has
turned many a man away from town
to settle in the rival place where his
energies are devoted, to your destruc
ton. The knocker is an excressence
on the face Of the earth. He is either
worthless on the start or has become
so through failure to kee pace with
the times. The hopeful, confident
man Is a Godsend in any community.
He believes in himself, in his town
and in his community and is the man
that is looked up 10 and admired at
home and abroad. The pessimist sees
good In nothing and is a load to him
self and the community. Let "On
ward" be the watchword Of Bismarck.
Let the ghosts Of the past be laid for
ever. Let us all be hopeful builders:
not ghouls In the graveyard Of the
townis dead memories. .

to Prentice Mulford's coat sleeve, for
knew IL he were once to get beyond
my reach could never hope to and
him again. We CROPPED blindly among
the streets. where the atmosphere was
only less palpable than the houses that
walled us In. At intervals we inquired
where we were, for otherwise we could
never have known at all. We had to
feel our way carefully and take sound
ings at intervals. Here, said Prem
stice as we paused In space; here is.
Temple Bar" thought saw some
thing that might have been the ghost
Of an arch hewn out OF the solid fog.
The top OF It though It was not lofty,
was lost to view. Temple Bar, now
gone forever from the place where its
gates once swung in the Eall OF the
old city--ft was here her gracious
majesty Queen Victoria OF England
was wont to receive the keys OF the
city from the hands OF the lord mayors
when she drove In state to st. Paul's
cathedral. We threaded Fleet street,
but could not see to the farther shore.
Here is her majesty's tower. said
Prentice, but nothing Of 1t was Visible,
not one stone upon another. We cross
ed London bridge almost without
knowing 1t. The waters Of the Thames,
which are but condensed fog, were In
visible from the parapet, and the steam
ferries were picking their way eau
tously and looking very like marine
monsters iii muddy aquarium. We
crawled through the tunnel Tor foot
trafilc under the Thames, which vas
like q hole In the fog, and Tor hours
carried the sky about on our shoulders.
It was q woolly, greasy and III smelling
sky. Our nostriis were clogged with
cinders, like chimney Sfiues, and there
were smudges all over our faces.
sometimes FOR moment or two we
saw q spot overhead that was Hike q
pale red wafer, and we knew it for
the sun, now lost to us. The lamps
that burned all day were like glow

ed the wonders OF the town and saw
as much Of 1t as a blind man sees, but
no more. Charles Warren stoddard III
