Fell On Youths Shoulders.

By curious chance, the life OF
James Moran, IL years old, was
saved when he fell five stories from
the roof of 455 West Forty-eighth
Street. A butchers boy, julius Selig-
man, of sos West Fifty-second
Street, was passing in the street at
the time that Moran lost his footing
and fell. Moran landed on Selig-
mans shoulders and the butcher boy,
a sturdy fellow, threw up his arms
and succeeded in grasping Moran
about the waist and neck, so that
only his feet and legs struck the
ground. Seligman went down with
him, but the force of the Moran boys
fall had been borken.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade expands under the stimu-
lating influence of colder weather
and mercantile collections improve,
although rates for money continue
high Travelling statesmen send IN
large orders to leading distributing
points, but movements of merchan-
disc is still retarded by inadequate
transporting facilities. Seasonable
lines of wearing apparel and holiday
goods attract most attention, While
staple articles of every description
are in steady demand. Current bus
mess is good and prospects for the
future were never brighter. Labor
disputes reach amicable settlement in
most cases, wages being advanced
in numerous transporting and manu-
featuring industries. The most strik-
ing development of the week was the
unprecedented output of pig iron In
conjunction with large imports and
advancing prices, indicating the
greatest activity ever attained by
steel mills Other industrial reports
we're scarcely less gratifying.
Leading commodity markets have
developed strength during the past
week, especially those in which spec
ulative operations for the short ac-
count had been carried to extremes.
Recovery in wheat had the additional
support of unsatisfactory receipts at
the Northwest, and although the
small movement was probably due
in large measure to the car shortage,
it gave rise to smaller estimates OF
the crop in spring wheat States.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for November
amounted to $2,376,428, of which
$S83,5O1 were in manufacturing,
$1,362,346 in trading and $SO.5s1 in
other commercial pursuits"

Ghost OF An Old Fraud.

The Kelley motor swindle of the
eighties was recalled in the Real
Estate Exchange salesroom on Vesey
Street, when 80 shares of the stock,
which sold around par in the days
when many shrewd business men
were bamboozled into the belief that
Kelley had discovered perpetual mo-
ton and the secret of overcoming the
force of gravity, were knocked down
for 81. The Kelley motor stock was
sold along with many thousands of
dollars worth of gilt-edged railroad
bonds and stocks by the executor of
the estate of the late Isaac T. Frost.

THE MASTER VICE.
A. Such Is REORGANIZATION Described
by "a Confessed Victim.

- 1RhNt-Af0 NlcNtms
''rhc ban OF my existence said the
procraStinatlng man. "has been my
habit OF putting things off. never do
today what I can put or till tomorrow
The result Is that I am always put
ting things Off and never doing any
more than Is necessary for my current
daily hand TO mouth support. and so.
as the saying Is, never have anything
l am not independent. but always de-
pendent upon somebody else for the
work that will enable me TO live. and
so can never say my soul Is my own.
l must do the work 1 am set to do by
some stronger man, whether L like il or
not and so 1 plod along. just getting
through, while the man who collars
things gets on.
or late years as / have come 10 real
lie It's evil effects and the enormous
difficulty OF overcoming II have come
TO think that the master vice of all Is
procrastination. And coming TO think
thus has disturbed me little. because
l have to give up an originally pre-
conceived and long cherished notion.
Il had long held that the most near
~ ineradicable Of personal vices was
gambling. but now 1 thought the most
difficult OF all vices to cure oneself OF
was that OF procrastination. Was I
wrong thenF And could il be that I
was wrong now?
This. as | say, disturbed me little.
but now Oh this point / rest quite easy.
FOR l have discovered. contradictory as
this at first thought might seem. that
was right then and that I am wrong
now
For now / discover that the vice Of
gambling is but another phase of. or
at least the outcrop OF. that Of procras-
tination. The great majority Of those
given over TO gambling hope 10 get
something for nothing: they hope TO
get money without effort They put
OF from day TO day the hard. untiinch-
ing work that would give them sure
thing. without chances. on the race of
life and make just enough TO indulge
their vice and their vain hopes.
so gambling Is really but form or
outcome of the vice OF procrastlnation.
And by the same line Of reasoning I
suppose we might say the same Of
drunkenness. which is essentially 4
procrastnating vice. We put things
of today; today we will drink; we will
work tomorrow
And | don't know but what we
should find that every ill proceeds from
the vice Of procrastination, and so this.
which might seem but a form OF lazi-
ness, Is really the master vice. and I
am one OF its most closely bound vic
tins. l don't drink and don't gam
bic. but | have got the fatal habit OF
putting things on."-New York sun.

No one who has stopped her 20 talk

and from her tleshless jaws comes one

In The morning the one who spoke 20

The chief distinction between the
genius of the eastern civilization and
that of the west. according to an ori-
entail, lies IN this: With you the indi.
vidual is the hub OF the universe-even

while with us of the east it Is the
whole. the state. not the Individual,
that we emphasize. An individual is
