WHEN COURAGE FAILS.

WHEN COOhAGG FALLS Help along your fainting brother.
 Offer him a friendly hand, Lend him some of your good fortune.
 Jolly him to beat the band. Nothing gladdens like greeting
 That comes straight out from the heart When a. toiler, whipped and beaten,
 Hates to make another start. Haven't you felt sad and gloomy
 On the days when things went wrong? Haven't you longed to surrender
 When the tide of fate was strong? Don't you still recall a comrade
 Who refused to sigh with you, But instead, said Cheer up, partnerl
 Whats the use of feeling blue?' Sure. you have, and you remember
 How you thanked him with smile, Going back into the battle,
 Pushing on in gallant style. You know how it is to falter,
 Human hearts are all the same. Open up and when it's needed,
 Boost some other fellows game.

BULLS AND BEARS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 1s-Leading repre-
sentatives of the speculative fraternity this
morning continued in bullish frame Of
mind. They did not place much significance
on the reaction in prices which occurred
yesterday afternoon and attributed II to
moderate amount OF profit-taking. COM
oined with renewed efforts on the part Of
the bearish element to bring about lower
range OF quotations.
The resumption OF heavy currency trans
1ers 10 San Francisco yesterday has given
fresh courage to the bearish element, and
II was expected that they would make fur
ther efforts to depress prices on the theory
that the money position was not yet safe.
Commission house reports were to the eff
feet that public participation in the mar
ket was slightly on the increase.
There appears to be abundant evidence
that various pools have resumed operations
on an extensive scale, and close market OBJ
servers today believed that the foundation
was being laid for general upward move
ment all along the list. The strength of
the anthracite coalers yesterday was re-
garded as an encouraging sign. and it was
pointed out that a general upward move
ment was usually preceded by advances in
special groups of stocks.
The recent buying of Lackawanna was
generally credited to a prominent financier
who is also heavily interested IN Reading
and who Is in position to know the exact
condition of these companies mentioned.
The buying of Erie issues was believed to
have been of a particularly good character
of late.
1t is said that the management of the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
Company has authorized the expenditure
OF $3,O000O0 for new equipment. At a re-
cent meeting of the executive committee
Z was decided to buy fifty locomotives and
1880 cars. Business of the company has
increased to such an extent that the pres
ent equipment is insufficient 1t is said
that the 100000 needed for the new equip
ment will be paid out of earnings and from
the money on hand
