SLUGGISH MARKET
In Stocks Yesterday-Taking Of Pro-

of the Previous Day.

New York, July 14.-No significance
can be attached to the sluggish and
incinsistant movement of prices in
today's dun and narrow market. A
favorable bank statement was gener-
ally expected and the board room
traders attempted to advance the
prices on the prospect. No serious
selling pressure was met on small
advances. Taking Of profit left the
prices close to the level at which
they left off last night. The bank
statement showed restoration of rath-
er more than last weeks loss in the
surplus item. The $14,345,000 loan
contraction was attributed to the
stock market liquidation and excess in
the cash gain over the preliminary
estimates was crediated to the cor
recton of the discrepancy in that
item last week. The weeks repay
ments of government deposits are
shown to have amounted to S1,439,S00,
exclusive of drafts by interior banks

HOW SHE FOOLED HER LAWYER.

A certain lawyer famed for high
charges, had incurred the enmity Of
an old lady on account of the same.
Wishing to get even with him, she
consulted him about drafting her will.
As she was very wealthy old lady,
without near relatives she had many
charitable associations to benefit and
the accurate draft of the will required
much patience, great skill and time.
Among the provisions she made a
generous bequest to this lawyer and
nominated him executor. After the
execution of the will she called for
her bill, whereupon the lawyer, with
the vision of ample fees in the pros
pective settlement of the estate and
the memory of the generous bequest,
told the old lady that under the cir-
cumstances he should charge nothing,
but finally, to satisfy her business
scruples, made out receipt in full to
date for 81, whereas the smallest sum
he could have properly charged would
have been $1oo. The old lady
marched home with her will, set her
self to work, copied it out carefully
word for word, leaving out the be-
quest to the lawyer and nominating a
new executor. In the course of time
she died, and the disgust of the law
yer at the contents of the will was so
great that he inadvertently let out the
secret to the huge delight of his
brother lawyers.

ST. BERNARD DOGS.

The beautiful, stately St. Bernard
dog gets bis name - - tne sssuifllliiu
nard hospice or monastery, built al
most at the crest of mountain pass
in the Alps, over eight thousand feet
about sea-1evel. This hospice wa,
foundedine62 by Bernard de Menthins
a nobleman of the neighborhood, for
the benefit of pilgrims journeying to
Rome. It now affords sleeping ac-
commodations for eighty travellers,
and can shelter three hundred. The
monastery is connected by telephones
with stations in the valleys on either
side, from which the monks about
are warned when travellers are on
their way to the mountain. There
are dozen or SO of these Augustin-
ian monks, all young and strong;
their work is, with the aid Of large
dogs, to rescue travellers Ill danger OF
being lost in the cold and snow.
These dogs were called the St. Ber-
nard and they gradually became gen.
eral in Switzerland, and in 1860
caught the attention of English trav-
elers, who imported several into
Great Britain, where they were ex-
hibited and greatly admired for their
size and beauty. Others were intro
duced, and the St. Bernard soon be-
came the popular big dog, popular
ity which has ever since gone on in
creasing. AS most fancied today, he
is an immense, range-colored dog,
marked with white on face, neck,
breast, feet and tip of tail. The
head is massive and imposing, the
muzzle strong and square; the legs
are straight, with large feet and deep
claws. The coat of the rough variety
is of medium length, and not too
curly; while the smooth variety has
a short and wiry coat. Many of the
finest St. Bernard dogs measure
thirty inches in height at the Shout
der, and weigh over $50 pounds.
They occupy great deal of space
vet they are so handsome, and, as a
rule, so good-tempered, that they are
greatly admired as pets.
If you are fortunate enough to own
one of these beautiful dogs, you will
admire his dignity and kindliness the
more, now that you know the story
of his family. You can imagine
those other dogs, going on ahead of
the wearied travellers, showing the
way through the deep snow drifts,
and bringing them safely, at last, to
| food and shelter.

DENTISTS as PATIENTS.

"Two of the most troublesome pa
tients l have are members of my own
profession, said dentist in discuss
ing the tortures of teeth. Strange
to say" he continued, "many den-
lists, whether from natural defects or
early negligence, have exceedingly
poor teeth, and as no practitioner can
attend to his own we exchange ser
vices. If any of the patients of these
two capable D. D. S. IS are revengeful
of disposition it would do them good
to see them in the chair. All men
are much more difficult subjects for
dentistry than women, according to
my own experience, but the way the
two in question wriggle, writhe,
eroan and cuss under the ordinary
operations should be most gratifying 6
to any one who has suffered at their
hands,"

THE REAL LINCOLN.

For many yearsjit has been the
fashion to call Mr.. Lincoln homely.
He was very tall and very thin. His
eyes were deep sunken, his skin of a
sallow pallor, his hair coarse, black
and unruly. Yet he was neither un-
graceful nor awkward nor ugly. His
large features fitted his large frame,
and his large hands and feet were but
right on body that measured six
feet four inches. His was sad and
thoughtful face, and from boyhood
he had carried load of care. It is
small wonder that when alone or abb
sorbed in thought the face should
take on deep lines, the eyes appear
as if seeing something beyond the
vision of other men and the shoulders
stoop as though they, too, were bear
ing weight. But in moment all
would be changed. The deep eyes
could flash or twinkle merrily with
humor or look out from under over
hanging brows as they did upon the
Five Points children in kindliest gen.
tleness. So, too, in public speaking,
when his tall body rose to its full
height, with head thrown back and
his face transfgured with the fire and
earnestness of his thought, he would
answer Douglas in the high, clear
tenor that came to him in the heat of
debate, carrying his ideas SO far out
over listening crowds. And later,
during the years of war, when he
pronounced with noble gravity the
words of his famous addresses, not
one in the throngs that heard him
could truly say that he was other
than handsome man.
It has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless in
his dress. This is also mistake.
His clothes could not fit smoothly on
his gaunt and bony frame. He was
no tailor's figure of man, but from
the first he clothed himself as well as
his means allowed and in the fashion
of the time and place.
In reading the grotesque stories OF
his boy hood, of the tall STRIPPING
whose trousers left exposed length
of shin, it must be remembered not
only how poor he was, but that he
lived on the frontier, where other
boys, less poor, were scarcely better
clad. In Vandalis the blue jeans he
wore were the dress of his compan-
ions as well, and later, from Spring
field days on, clear through his presi-
dency, bis costume was the usual
suit of black broadcloth, carefully
made and scrupulously neat. He
cared nothing for style. 1t did not
matter to him whether the man with
whom he talked wore coat of the
latest cut or owned no coat at all. 1t
was the man inside the coat that in
terested him.-I7elen Nio0Lay in st.
Nicholas.

HANDLING MEN.

Business men often fail because
they do not know how to handle
men. They can do their own work
all right, but they are failures when
it comes to directing others. They
lack tact, diplomacy.
Many men antagonize others they
lack patience, lose temper, fly to
pieces over little things. And no
man is good leader who cannot con-
troll himself.
A great many business men seem
to think that it takes deal of driv-
ing, scolding, fault finding, to get
the best out of others. 1t is, how
ever, just the opposite. Employees
never give up their best in response
to forcing methods.
I know a young man who promises
to be leader in his line who is as
quiet and gentlemanly in his methods
as modest woman. He never raises
his voice, never gets angry. When
I anemployee needs correcting, instead
of scofing or nagging he sits right
down shows him or her just how
to do the thing. He tries fo,1 ,1elp
them out of their difficulty, not to
confuse them. He does not need to
scold, because everybody respects him
admires him and knows that he is
always trying to do the fair thing, to
give a square deal, that he wants
only what is just right and there is
nothing arbitrary in his methods.
The result is he does not need to
storm around his establishment and
use abusive, profane language. He
knows there is stronger force, bet
ter way than that. The result is
that he has perfect discipline.
Not one would think of taking ad-
vantage of him or trying to deceive
him, because he is so kind, square,
| true.
know another man in business
near by him who adopts just the op-
posite method. He storms and
swears, scolds, nags, goes through
his establishment like bull through
china shop, making everybody feel
mean and disgracefu1. Nobody re-
spects him. He rules by brute force,
keeping everybody cowed and afraid
of him. They obey him and let him
impose upon them in order to avoid a
scene or for fear they will lose their
positions. If an Office boy or stem
ographer makes a little mistake he
will go all to pieces, fly into rage
and make it very uncomfortable for
everybody about him.
People waiting in the outer Office
often hear loud talking and most abu-
sive language in his private Office.
But he is not nearly as successful as
his quiet, unobtrusive neighbor.
He never thinks of recognizing one
of his employees on the street.
The other man always lifts his hat
to the humblest girl in his employ
and has pleasant smile for every
body, because he feels an interest in
everybody and they all love him.

dren presently. As he passed a
church he saw a multitude of people
entering it.
1.-The Old Year out--the New
Year in p he thought.
He walked on with new purposes
forming in his mind. The New Year
should be different from the Old
there should be more time found for
the enjoyment of life. Things should
be made easier for his wife: they
would make life higher and holier.
1t should be New Year-a year OF
love to God and love to man.
He spoke of these thoughts, that
were stirring him so strangely, that
evening. He was alone with his
wife. She listened with sympathetic
interest. She said little, bur her few
words satisfied and cheered him.
He arose and stood by the window
when the clock rang out the year.
Soon the worshippers in the churches
filled the streets. Something of the
solemnity of the hour passed from
them to him. He looked up into the
deep mysterious realm of starry
space, and a strange new sense OF
companionship came to him.
Presently the sound of footsteps in
the street died away. All was still
again.
The Old Year out The New
Year in he said. Thank God for the
desire to make it a better year!
His heart was full as he turned
away from the window.
The vision of the past grieved him
sorely, but again he was conferred.

that keepeth thee will not slumber. "

MAKE THE BEST OF n.

The longer one lives, the more GER
tainty there is that nothing in this
world is ever exactly in accord with
the mind Of women. If she plans a
house and bullies an architect into
letting her have her own way, she is
not we'll settled in it before in her in
ner consciousness she knows that the
man was right and she was wrong.
If she is genuine woman, she never
mentions the fact. She keeps up
a-thinking and finally decides on a
different inside arrangement, or may
be it is the outer one in fault, when
time is ripe, she springs it on her
family. In that way she gets around
the acknowledgement of her mistake.
If she buys new fall hat, by the
time it is home she sees her fatal
mistake. No one can blame her, for
they grow worse and worse to look
at as the years go by. But her hat
is "too up and at it, - ''it makes her
look common" sit is too fancy"
"it is too big or too little or too fat
or too high or it costs too much and
she daren't tell her husband what
she paid for it. )" Without the un-
happiness caused by hats, women
might sometimes be at loss for sub
ject matter to inward rave about.
And then dresses and their makers
are grievances hard to bear. And if
she either is unable to do her own
work or does not want to do it, she
need never go afeld for worry. She
can worry night and day; she can
talk her husband deaf, dumb and
blind she can keep her neighbors'
ears hot with the iniquitos perform
ances in her kitchen. No girl or wo-
man doing housework for considera-
ton can do we'll enough to stop her
tongue. But let the girl 'give no.
tice" and then the truth of the saying
that blessings brighten as they take
their fight" will be proved anew.
And her discomfort extends be-
yond the bounds which ought to be
fixed for women to reach and be
laughed at for her folly. She fur
lively looks at the daughter she
adores and says mentally that red
head of hers comes from her fathers
mother ; heaven knows I hope she
won't turn out to look like her -
and she picks flaws in her own child.
And she will resent the slowly ex-
tending bald spot which has way
of appearing on the heads of the best
of men, and she will delight in talk
ing about man who is so lovely and
tall when her own dearie is scarcely
taller than herself. Well it is for
her if she keeps herself in hand and
does not let her thoughts get away
with her common sense.
The only thing to do is to make
the best of things in this world. We
cannot expect absolute happiness nor
absolute perfection here. Those
treasures are laid up for US. Here
we must struggle and put up with
imperfections in our SURROUNDINGS ia
those about us aud in ourselves.
When we get so that we can do that
pleasant thing unconsciously, un-
doubtedly we shall be SO very desira-
bic that the angels in heaven will
clamor for our society, for we shall
be so much above our former COM
panions that they will not enjoy our
