At this point the buying began. Hith-

Gould brokers had paralyzed all. Board
brokers were particularly dazed. In
face OF the clique's demonstrated pow

make the feeblest attempt TO check the
terrible rise.
A few uptown merchants now, how
ever, started TO purchase. Soon the
bidding degenerated into panic. Ev-

On last Monday a little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ira l.. Burley had a narrow
escape from seriousinjnry. She had been
standing before au open fireplace and
her clothing caught fire aud burst into a
sheet of flame. Fortunately Mr.. Burley
was just entering the house as his little
daughter rushed out. He was wearing
a pair of heavy driving gloves, aud this
enabled him to extinguish the flames at
once. The child was only slightly burned,
but had narrow escape.
On Saturday morning, just prior to
closing for the holidays, the help at the

gifts but the act which was SO freely and
cheerfully done. 1t is useless to add
that everything is'working at that plant
