about thirteen years Of age, looking
up in his fathers face with great ear
nestness. said:
Father, ! am old enough to go to
work. l viii go and earn for myself
Mr.. Cooke did not regard this remark
as anything more than an expression
OF the boys affectionate and enterpris-
ing nature, and, as he had no intention
OF turning either Of his boys out to
earn their own living. he thought no
more Of 1t. But the next day when the
other boys went to school Jay slipped
away. and, going to the store of a
Mr.. Hubbard in Sandusky. asked the
latter to employ him as a clerk. Mr.
Hubbard happened to be In need of a
clerk and at once employed the lad.
The next day and every day there
after the boy was at his post in the
store. He proved so faithful. intelli-
gent and apt as a salesman and was SO
ready and quick at figures that his en-
ployer formed strong attachment for
him, taught him bookkeeping and in
structed him in other branches which
be had failed to acquire at school.
Mr. Cooke had a fund Of stories about
the great men of the past, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
According to one Of the stories, Cen
eral Grant and his family visited Mr..
Cooke after the civil war at the great
Cooke mansion at Ogontz. Pa. There
the talk fell one evening to hotels. and
the host related some of his novel ex-
periences while travelling about the
country negotiating the war loans
They had been narrowing experiences
in many instances. but in certain
southeastern town they had been worse
than narrowing.
"At the hotel in this town" said Mr..
Cooke, Il had for my supper one egg
that was not good. two pieces Of stale
bread and a glass Of buttermilk. In nv
bedroom that night, though it was
freezing cold, I had nothing but two
sheets to cover me. For breakfast the
next morning they gave me another
bad egg And for this accommodation
they charged me-the cheats-at the
rate Of 81 a day"
"They treated you" said General
Grant according to the Scriptural in
junction"
How was thatf" asked Mr.. Cooke.
"Why, you were a stranger, and they
took you in"

IEs1ERDAY's STOCK MARKET.
Effect of Peace Felt More i'm Foreign Markets Than Here.


 New York, Aug. 30.-As was to be ex- pected, the effect of yesterdays historic event at Portsmouth found clearer re- fiection on the stock exchanges of Eu- rope than on our own. London, Paris and Berlin reported 8 vastly better tone. This was shown in the improved prices of Russian and Japanese issues, advances in British consols and French rentes, and London's purchases of American securities. The New York market refused, however, to be guided by those abroad. It would serve no distinct purpose to specify the days movements. Suffice it to say they were uninportant as a whole and reflected general apathy. The greater part of the days operations were obviously professional, the early selling move ment originating with trader who was until recently on the long side. Instead of an overnight accumulation of buying orders many commission houses had orders to sell and the sell- ing side of the market was taken al- most entirely by the trading element. It is not to be denied that the stocks offered to-day were absorbed with no outward signs of congestion. At no time, however, was the market active or at all broad. The only stock that showed decided strength in the opening dealings was Canadian Pacific. Read- ingss declines of more than two points was regarded as quite natural in view of the compaily's poor showing for July. Amalgamated Copper declined on heavy selling by traders who assumed that the end of hostflities in the Far East would necessarily curtail the demand for the metal There was also an in- creased belief that the recent specula- ton in the metal had reached it's limit for time. Other features of weakness were Union Pacific, St. Paul, New York Central, Erie, Louisville and Nashville and the United States Steel issues.
 The list drifted along during the ear Iy session, but later, on it's oversold appearance, traders went in and bought of the active issues, bringing partial recoveries in a number of shares and gains ip Erie and United States Steel comman. The strength of these stocks, together with a fiVe-point advance in Pacific Coast, were the only notable features of the final hour, the market showing weakness at the close. There were wide differences between London and local prices at the opening here, London probably taking 3O,0O0 shares on balance. .s .. VI, .v@

 The market was visited yesterday forenoon by considerable profit taking attributed to the fact that the peace news was out.

A large number of "stop orders were caught in Amalgamated Copper which was, the weakest Feature of the day. Hundreds fell a prey to the bear cru- sade of the Boston operator, who made a fresh attack on the copper metal sit- uation. Yesterday half of the street was discussing the possibility of a fall in copper, as a result of the decreased demand from Russia and Japan, which until recently were by far the largest buyers.
