NEW YORK, Feb. q. = The bulky
total of 1000, 900 shares reached on
the stock exchange today witnessed
the continuation of the speculative
interest of the traders. The day, how
ever, was distinctly devoted to pro-
cess of digestion, and there were no
such violent advances as there were
last week. Very substantial progress
was made, however, in realizing the
profits caused by last weeks advances.
During the prevalence of an active
speculation and long continued rise in
prices Mondays are always chosen to
effect a distribution of holdings and
to cover the paper profits into cash. The
Sunday interval naturally leads to an
accumulation of orders from outside
sources in brokers' offices. The execu-
tion of these orders gives opportunity
for selling to advantage.
Such movement was clearly in
progress today and, though a charac-
teristic one, showed the absorptive
power of the market. The resistance
offered to the selling was not helped
by, any notable new development with
the exception of the movement in
Southern Pacific. The advance in this
stock was explained in some quarters
as tan adjustment to the recent ad-
vance in Southern Pacific, in which
the subsidiary stock has not shared,
but an additional motive for the buy
ing was offered in the circulation of
the rumor that dividend payment on
the stock had been practically deter
mined on. This rumor lacked official
confirmation, as did last weeks many
rumors of combination projects, but it
was as little impaired in it's influence
on that account as were the previous
stories. The rate of absorption in
Southern Pacific in the first stages
of today's movement was unprece-
dented on the stock exchange, not less
than 100000 shares changing hands in
a period of ten minutes during the
period of greatest activity.
The great animation of the present
market makes a striking contrast with
the corresponding season of last year,
when the volume of dealings was
dropping off from day to day until,
on March 10, sales of less than $4,000
shares were recorded, low record for
many years. Routine news of the day
was little regarded, although it offered
nothing to discourage the buying of
stocks. Railroad traffic officials re-
ported progress making in the opening
UP of their lines all over the country
after the storm blockades, and the
n1ilder weather has also resulted in
largely increased offerings of grain
from the primary points.
The money market gave some evil
dence of Increasing demand for credits,
butno. apprehension was felt of lack
of supply. Foreign money centers re-
ported confident feeling in the future
ease of money, and it is felt that sup
plies will be available from these
sources for the New York market in
case of any urgent demand. The
persistence of the selling of stocks
and the small response to the striking
movement in Southern Pacific, which
rose to 1875, prompted general un-
loading of stocks late in the day,
Which carried prices to the lowest level
and made the closing considerably un-
settled.

Irish Proverbs.

The proverbs of a nation are the
distilled wit of generations Of its peo-
pie; and the true wit of the race Is
oftentimes in proportion to the truth
and beauty of its proverbs, says Les
lies Monthly Magazine. Few nations,
and few languages possess more beau
tiful sayings than the Irish. "The silent
mouth is melodious," is an Irish aphor-
ism pregnant with beauty and poetry.
And another saying, inculcating a
charity which is spiritually needed in
this modern world of ours, is that which
tells us "Our eyes should be blind in
the abode of another" The beautiful
faith and the magnificent optimism of
the Irish race is we'll pictured in their
proverb, God never shuts one door but
he opens two" Autumn days come
softly, quickly, like the running of a
hound upon a moor" is poetic, vivid
truth. And here is sharp, satirical
one which cuts several ways at the
same time: "a poem ought to be well
made at first, for there is many one
to spoil it afterwards"
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1905-06-15
For Business Reasons.

A caller at boarding house was
surprised to see a fine greyhound
basking in the sun outside the kitchen
door.
Il didn't know you had a dog" she
said. Hes a beautiful animal How
long have you had him?''
1.-TWO or three years."
How does it happen I have never
seen him before?"
1--WE don't allow him to leave the
back yard" replied the proprietress,
with emphasis. What kind of an
advertisement would it be for a board
that dog is walking around in front
Of it?'--Chicago Tribune.

Political Joke of the '3Os.

During the late election at Stamford
a violent tory went into the shop Of
a whig butcher.
What is your pleasure?' demanded
the knight of the cleaver
81 want a calf's head" was the reply
The butcher having two, inquired Of
his tory customer which he would pre-
fer-a tory one or a whig one.
"a tory one, to be sure" rejoined the
customer.
Every well, sir, I'll send it home
for you"
When the cook proceeded to dress it,
the brains We're missing, and the mas
ter was speedily made acquainted with
the circumstances, when he returned
to the butchers and Indignantly in
quired of him what had become Of
them.
"Are you not aware, sir" replied
cleaver, that tory heads do not con-
tain brains? And did you not choose
a tory calf's head in preference to
a whig one?"-Hudson Rural Reposi-
tory, 1881.

PORTLAND EXPOSITION NOTES.

The manufacture of gold pens will
form one of the many interesting work
ing displays at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position.
The Illinois building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition Is a replica Of the
home in which Abraham Lincoln lived
while resident of Springfield This
property is said to have been the only
real estate the martyred president ever
owned
The Massachusetts building at the
Lewis and Clark exposition has as it's
distinguishing feature a replica of the
famous Bullfinch front of the old state
house in Boston. When the state
house was rebuilt Massachusetts went to
an expense of 100000 to retain this
front.
A single piece of native copper, weigh
ing / 900 pounds, will be part of the min
ing display from Josephine county, Ore
gon, at the Lewis and Clark exposition.
The chunk of copper was taken from
the Golden Standard ledge, the ores Of
which have been found to assay SIS O
ton in gold and $22 in copper.
The railroads have agreed upon one
fare for the round trip from all eastern
points to Portland, during the Lewis and
Clark exposition. This is the cheapest
first-class transportation ever offered
from the east, and will afford oppor-
tunity for seeing the Pacific coast coun-
try which may not be repeated in many
years.
Western school-tea hers have adopt
ed q novel method of advertising the
Lewis and Clark exposition. They give
their children as an exercise the task OF
writing q letter to some relative or
friend in the east, extending an invita-
ton to attend the exposition. School
children Of Moscow, Idaho, recently
wrote l, 100 such letters.
An excursion that will doubtless at
tract great interest is one planned by
F. R. Drew, of New York city. Mr.. Drew
will conduct a train of prairie schoon-
ers from Portland, Me-, to Portland, Ore.
the latter part of the journey being
travelled along the trail followed by
Lewis and Clark a century ago. The
travellers expect to reach Portland in OC-
tober, in time to attend the Lewis and
Clark exposition.

CHAPTER III.

IN WHICH THE FIRM ADMITS AN
OTHER PARTNER AND AN AN
GENT DOCUMENT REVEALS MUCH
WISDOM.
The two men were startled at the
sound, and looked hastily toward the
doorway from whence the voice pro-
ceeded.
Within it stood a man whose ap-
pearance both in manner and physical
characteristics were not likely to es-
cape observation wherever he might
be placed. Taller by half head than
either Tonti or his companion, and of
a decidedly heavier build; bold fore
head; dark but not shaggy eyebrows;
nose of strongly marked Roman
type, beneath which rested thin dark
mustache with ends twisted upward
so as to give the owner fierce and
Scornful expression; a full rounded
chin that tended to become double

action. But the dress was that of a

coat, embroidered with gold, was the

mented with red ribbons. Above the
coat was slung a shoulder-belt of
twisted gold-thread supporting a
sword; while a thrOatband of muslin,
edged with fine lace. and a broad
brimmed beaver, surmounted by a
double row of plumes, completed the
upper part of the attire. Close-fitting
breeches, of another shade of brown,
and high boots, very large and open
at the top, completed his fashionable
dress. A fine lace handkerchief was
held in one hand, and applied daintily
to the nOstril now and then for the
benefit of the cyprus scent with which
1T was laden.

The Duration of the Job.

1t seemed to Mr.. Brown that John

diciously long time making the re.
pairs he had been hired 10 do and he
determined to come to an understand

When he reached the place that was
being repaired he found the carpen-

"Par Dieu! a good plan" said Tonti,
Il shall do it. You beat me at the
game of cunning. but when real open
fighting comes, shall do like this"
and, seizing Pompon about the waist,
raised him from the ground, and by a
sudden powerful exertion held him
aloft above his head with his two
arms extended. 81 have you now, you
weazel. Where shall throw you?"
"Your arm may be strong, but my
wit is not wanting" was the reply.
"You know a mouse can gnaw a rope

Courtship in shnkspeare's England.


In ShaIlspeare's England courtship
was not the prolonged and romantic
affair it is now, writes Henry T.
Finck, in Harper's Magazine. The
young fellows did not make and un-
make engagements as they pleased
without consulting their parents. The
etiquette of betrothal was almost as
formal and as rigid as that of marriage
is to-day. 1t consisted of three observ-
ances-the joining of hands, a kiss
and interchange of rings, all in pres
ence of witnesses, and usually in
church. The man had to promise un-
der oath to take this woman whose
name is N. to wife within forty days"
1t is needless to say that under such
circumstances - engagements never
lasting as much as six weeks, partners
usually chosen by the parents, mar
riages at the age of fourteen, and
honeymoon trips unknown-there was
much less opportunity than there is
now for the development of romantic
love.

CHAPTER U.-CoNTINUED.


Curse him!" he cried in voice
vibrating with passion. Curse him!
see it all now. 1t Is not the kings
fault so much as his minister's. While
Mazarin lived my father had no hope,
and when this wine merchants son
succeeded him, he feared exposure,
TOO, and so left him to die. Sangue
di Dio! is it not enough to risk ones
life for a king but that his minion
crushes ones heart also? Attention,
Pompon, and hear my words. Upon
this cross, my sword-hilt, | swear by
all the saints of Italy and France, by
my fathers murdered hand and my
mothers heart in Paradise, my sword
