A SONG OF COURAGE.

~~-~~~-N<~~~~-~~~~~
There are times when the mind
must be called away from present dan
ger or anxiety, and not allowed even
to contemplate the serious and deeper
aspects of an emergency. The San
Francisco Call gives an instance Of
good sense and pluck on the part OF a
young lady who was shipwrecked. A
few moDths ago a most gallant fight
for life in a storm at sea took place in
the Pacific.
When the Queen, with two hundred
souls aboard, was about thirty miles
off Tillamook, fire was discovered in
the after cabin. A heavy gale was
blowing at the time, and the situation
seemed hopeless. Captain Cousens
first put the women and children, and
all other passengers who were not able
to assist in fighting fire, into life
boats, and launched them in the
charge of experienced men. These
boats remained under the lee of the
blazing steamship until those on board
had conquered the flames.
When the life-boats were launched
that dark and stormy morning, the
women and children were terroriZed
in the face of the threatening tragedy.
In one boat a voice was lifted in
prayer, and the sound of weeping was
heard above the roar OF the waters
Some one raised the song. Nearer, My
God, to Thee" and with trembling lips
the fear-dazed company joined. The
prayer and the hymn combined to
deepen the morbid gloom, and the last
note Of the sacred song died in
chorus of sobs.
Then, strong and clear, CHEEKY
voice made all sit up and listen.
what is the matter with you peo-
ple?" it said. Were not going to die.
The fire is growing smaller. We shall
all be in our hunks in an hour. If
you must sing, sing 'Bedelia.'"
The young woman then started the
jaunty popular song, and in few mo-
ments, to the amazement of themselves
and the wonder of the workers aboard
the steamer, every one in the boats
was singing ''Bedelia."
From that it was an easy step to
other airs of lively nature, and long
before the boats were recalled their
occupants were almost enjoying the
novelty of their stern situation.
The Pacific Steamship Company
decorated with gold and silver medals
the captain and men who risked their
lives to save the ship and passengers.
They also presented a token to the
brave singer. On it is engraved, For
Cinoinp sRpdplia ."

at last to confess, had its origin and
whole growth in the mystery with which
Prof. Huntley chose to surround HIM
SELF
She had been driven to think of him as
SD earnestly devoted TO the one noble
calling of patiently wringing out Of
Earth the secrets of the ages, for the
instruction and elevation of mankind,
that he could find no time, even if such
man could have the inclination, to min
gle with the common people of the viii
lage.
And taking another view, was not Mr.
Will Mason himself, responsible for Prof.
Huntley's decidedly distant attitude to-
ward all the people of Sandtown? Had
not Mr.. Mason deliberately misrepre-
scented her fathers family to Prof. Hunt
leyi
If he had told his employer that the
Wicklys Were educated people, and far
above their surroundings in all mental
acquirements-if he had said to him
what he had said to her on yesterday
afternoon, only, when she had been I'M
usually respectful and considerable to-
ward him?
If he had done this, would not Prof.
Huntley have sought and obtained an
lntroduction-an undertaking so easily
achieved in Sandtown? And theni Well
then, candidly she would have done her
very best to interest and impress him.
For she might as well confess to her
self now as TO evade self-Questionings,
as she had done for month past, Lizzy
Wickly was in love with Prof. Huntleyl
Now do not sneer at the notion of this
really capable young woman being in
love with a man she had not seen. Have
any of US, who have loved and loved
again, had so much the advantage of this
romantic young woman? Have we really
seen the people we have loved?
On the other hand, have we not been
more effectually prevented from seeing
them than if mere few thousands Of
yards of green summer woods lay per
petually between them and US? Have
not all of us awaked from the trance of
love to find that our fingers had been
caressing asinine ears? And is not this
the meaning Of the Midsummer Nights
Dream?

lacks definite form. Cool weather is
still a bar to fullest activity at retail.
Manufacturing activity is still in large
volume on orders previously booked.
Speculative markets for wheat reflect
technical conditions and short supplies
in primary markets more clearly than
they do the slight deterioration in
quantity and quality indicated as re
sulting from recent backward weather,
which has also been used as a lever to
affect corn and cotton. Collections re-
feet little more than seasonable slow
ness, and money is easy and in abun-
dant supply. Rather more friction in
labor matters is noted in Chicago. De-
spite efforts to accentIate less favor

entirely due to further
spreading of labor troubles. With the
struggle now carried into productive
branches and enforced idleness proba-
bic among large bodies of workmen,
obstruction becomes intensified and re-
quires prompt relief Except for the
local disturbance trade generally ex-
hibits strong tone throughout the Chi
cago district, and the indications are
good for continued industrial prosperi-
ty with the present difficulty removed.
In actual results the weeks prog

commerce. Money remained in fair
demand and bank exchanges made

as compared with year ago. Finan
cial conditions here made a healthy
showing, investment in Improvements

Crop reports played a strong part in

grain aggregated 2,074, 429 bushels,
against 2,12O,13O bushels for the cor
responding week of 1904, and the ship

2,S3S,3S bushels. The production Of
-four has increased, but there is no
corresponding gain in the forwarding
and the foreign demand has remained
remarkably dull.
Production in the leading branches
is without diminutiOn, and new COM
mitments were made to q satisfactory
extent. Wholesale transactions reach
ed fair volume in staple merchan-
disc, deliveries were larger and State
street activity was stimulated by bet
ter demand for seasonable wares.
Country advices have been very en-
cauraging, farm work showing rapid
recovery from the effect of recent
heavy rains, crop prospects remaining
good and merchandising expanding.
Western railroad traffic sustains ex-
ceptional magnitude, earnings steadi-

Heavy movement of manufactured
materials, raw product and general
merchandise provided most of the ton
