Remember Christmas.

It's the mere fact Of remembering
your friend on Christmas that pleases
him or her, no matter what the cost
may be of the article you send. It's
not the cost, but the remembrance,
that counts A gift at Christmas
time is always remembered. The
most beautiful line Of gifts in the city
is carried by the Winner drug company,
everything that one could desire, and
at the cheapest possible prices. But
you must come early and select your
gifts; they are going fast, and if you
wait long you will have to take what
is left. So come early and get the
best.

show in Richelieu, in order to achieve the
desired end The story is told of Gould that,
having been caught short of Erie, and being
unable to cover except at enormous loss, he
sent his broker to big banking firm which
was in the pool that had cornered him. The
broker asked for the loan of big block of
Erie. He met with fiat refusal. Gould
waited until the afternoon, and then went
to the bankers himself
81 am short of Erie he said mildly. you
have lot of the stock. Can You, as a favor
let me have several thousand shares?"
You know, Mr.. Could" the answer came,
I'VE would like to accommodate you, but
really We have no authority from our clients
to do that"
Gould looked as if utterly crushed. All his
courage seemed to ooze out of him, and he
fell on the sofa like a man in a faint. Pretty
soon he asked in a weak, plaintive voice,
What S the price of Union Pacifc?"
1t is eighty, Mr.. Gould" (What the real
quotation was at that time do not know)
Gould sighed and was heard 20 mutter to
himself: It's too bad l suppose it will go
to fifty in twenty minutes"

this is true of those great movements which
are achievements of superb generalShip, not
involving criminal acts nor producing loss to
the country, as we'll as of the meaner featS of
low stock jobbery. Moreover, if we were close
to a great manipulation during one of his deals,
as Dow was to Gould, it is likely that nothing
in his manner would show any of the emotions
that he was experiencing. When James r.
Keene was disposing of an enormous block of
Standard Oil holdings of Amalgamated Cop
per, so skilfully was the deal managed that it
was reported that the Standard Oil people
were buying, and the prices were higher when
he finished his distribution than when he began.
Yet it is likely that if one had entered the
Office where keene was conducting this opera
ton, during this time, he would have seen him
pacing up and down tho room, giving every
outward evidence of intense agitation, every
now and then pulling savagely at the tape and
muttering to himself One might think that
ne was involved in colossal losses instead of a
successful transaction. If he had indeed been
losing, it is likely that he would have been the
quietest, most serene person in Wall Street.

HANDS OF BIG CLOCK MOVE
LIKE PENDULUM FOR WEEK
Behavior of Timepiece at Affiliated
Colleges, South of Park, Puzzles
Hundreds of Refuoees.

A peculiar phenomenon has been OBJ
served by people around the park since
the big earthquake The hands of the
giant clock in the tower OF the medi-
cal building of the Affiliated Colleges
south of the park have assumed a so-,
of perpetual motion. For a week after
the shock the hands half revolved like
pendulum, to the amazement of the
people who witnessed the odd freak.
The cause Of the movement OF the
hands Of the clock is ascribed to a bal
anee effected by the quake and the sub
sequent running Of the works. The
hands moved until Saturday and then
ceased.

but much of the material in 1t will
have to be digested before the value
OF 1t can be appreciated. The returns
are for the year 1901, and nearly five
years have been required to collect
them and put them into anything like
lnteil1gible shape According to the
off1cial figures, King Edward has In
Asia more than 300.0O0,O0O Of subjects,
on the American continent 7,5OO. 600. in
Africa about 100000, in Australia
more than 100000, and in Europe
more than 100000. Classifying
them broadly by religions, there are
20S,O0O.OOO of Hindus, 100000 of
Mohammedans. 58,O00,0OO of Chris
tlans, 100000 of Buddhists. and %
100000 of various pagan or non-Chris
tlan religions. 1t should be added that
this last item represents a very wide
generalization, since it contains Par
sees. Sikhs, Jains, Jews, and Confu-
clans, as well as very primitive forms
Eof superstition. Every attempt in the
United Kingdom to add a column for
religions to the census returns has
been defeated up to the present time.

A curious fact brought out in the re-
turns is that during the last decen-

lation throughout the whole empire. 1t
is well marked even when in India,
