Indignation by the rural press of the

and uplifting sermon on the theme of

So. Mr.. Miller called attention to
the transitory state of life and the pit
ilessness of nature in measuring time.
The celestial bodies nor the hand of
time is not said on earth; the price,,
less minutes are fleeing from us
never to return. Man and nature
are memorable and pittiless in meas

them.

There are two ways to look upon
the wrecks made in our lives, one to
lament and the other to begin earnest

us are ruined lives and work, to do.

on the country at large. But when
they reach such conditions as they
did in the recent sensational interest
rates. money is drawn from the
smaller financial centres, thus making
it more difficult to procure and natur-
ally increasing local interest rates and
taking large slice out of legitimate
business profits. The man who is hurt
by such things is the business man
who must carry loans in his business.
He calculates his interest rate as an
Offset to his gross profits and when
the interest rate is increased beyond
that upon which he rightly bases his
business calculations, he suffers a
corresponding loss. This can only be
recovered from legitimate profits and
the injury becomes a permanent one
to the entire country.

estimated by the remarks of well
known Minneapolis newspaper man,
who, when in the city during the past
week, called at Mr.. Sullivan's place OF
business, and afterwards declared that
he had visited agreat many undertaking
establishments throughout the country,
some of which were very handsomely
finished, but that East Grand Forks can
boast of having as fine and up-to-date
an undertaking establishment as can be
found In any of the large cities. :.

The iar-seeing policy of President
Roosevelt in dealing with the Chinese
exclusion matter and the threatened
boycott OF American goods in China
is now beginning to be seen and to
some extent appreciated There is a
growing irritation in that country
against foreigners. This is largely the
result of the teachings of students
and newspaper men who have been
educated abroad and are now openly
pushing the doctrine of China for the
Chinese" The country is just begin
ming to awaken commercially, and
will become i'll Il few years large
purchasing market. The products of
the northwest will be largely in de-
mand. and the oriental trade will be-
come an important item in the COM
mercial growth Of the country. Once
the Panama canal is completed it will
rival the European trade. But these
things are impossible without the
buying trade OF China as we'll as the
other Asiatic countries. 1t will proba-
bly, be MANY years before the orientals
will reach the high standard required
of those who seek to make this coun-
try their adopted land. and this high
standard will be maintained in all
probability even though it destroy the
hopes of Asiatic trade. But this need
not result If the conciliatory policy
of President Roosevelt be pursued.
The opposition to American goods may
be SO allayed that the markets can be
largely held without sacrificing rea-
sonable national firmness against Chi
nese immigration.

Years Meditation" The text was

"a. Rev. Beadless said in part:
We live in world of change. Life
is kaleidoscope and every turn of
the wrist of time makes marvellous
changes. In all nature is nothing fixed.
Change is written on everything.
Tireless and fearless Time is digging

words! How they startle and stag
ger the soul! The end of the year
is peculiarly appropriated time for
sober reflection. 1t matters not how
long character fingers upon the
horizon. The end comes to every
mans career. ~
Rev. Beadles told the story of the
temporal nature of earthly things by
citing history to show how the end
comes to all. Nations die. Egypt.
Babylonia, Persia, Medo-P Persia, AS
syria, Israel, Greece, Rome have all
departed. PHILOSOPHERS and theolo-
gles pass away; religions too come
to an end. Buddhism, Brahamanism.

ties to do good; today we are here

WHO STRUCK W. PATTERSON?
Question of More Moment Than "The
Lady or the Tiger" Answered
at Last
;pecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 2.-That some
body struck Billy Patterson is a sure
thing. Anyway, the fact that Billy was
struck is pretty generally known, but
the mystery about it all is the identity
of the striker. The whole world has
been agog about this mysterious gem
Billy Patterson low, but up to the pres
ent writing he has remained as much
an unsolYed problem as the choice of
the princess in THE Lady or the III
ger"
Billy was supposed 10 have been orig
inally native of Kentucky, but other
states have claimed him. and once all
English papers made him native of
Nottingham. The Chinese have not
yet claimed Billy, however. and now it
is too late, for the truth about him is
to be told here and now.
Billy Patterson was a Virginian he
may have been an f.. h. ", but we
haven't had time to look into his family
history very closely. When the war be-
tween the states broke out Billy shoul-
dered a musket and started to the
front, but in some way he got side
tracked into the artillery, and along
about 1862 found himself serving the
guns behind the earthworks with which
the Confederates had. fortified Sewelrs
Point, the very ground. in fact. upon
which the jamestown exposition is now

folk until after the destruction of the

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The advance In
stocks which was stimulated at first by
the increase in the Pennsylvania dlVl-
dend was continued today on an IN
creased volume of business.
There was evidence to indicate large
buying by an uncovered short interest.
This manifested itself first in the Hill
stocks in the 9A jump in the Great North
ern preferred and 5A in Northern Pacific,
and it was generally attributed to a
squeeze of short interest which is par
ticularly vulnerable in these stocks owing
TO the small floating supply in the mar
ket.
The same influence was credited with
the aggressive advance in Reading. The
only news regarding that stock was the
report of net earnings for september,
which showed a falling off from Sep
tember of last year both for the coal
company and the railroad company, the
decrease for all companies reporting
$427,159, or % per cent
The fact became obvious that there has
been large amount of short selling in
the market, based on the assumption
that a period of unsettlement and depres-
sion was certain to intervene before the
election, which would afford an oppor-
tunity to cover shorts at proht
There was an extensive retrieVement

ness of their position being. aggravated
by the effect on the general list or the
increase in the Pennsylvania dividend
The stock was SIlll active loudy, puI
il was held back from further advance
over yesterdays high level by free profit
taking.
The Pennsylvania railroad net earn
ings for September were also published
and showed that the increase in gross
earnings had been practically eaten up
by the growth in operating expenses.
The course of the call loan market did
not interrupt the Improvement in prices

a poor bank statement tomorrow. The
sub-treasury had taken from the banks
up to Thursday night SO, 900, and trust

Billy Patterson stood one day at his
gun patiently waiting to hear some-
body make a noise like Yankee war
ship. 1t was foggy, and Billy wanted
to show his skill in gunnery by boring
a round hole in the circumambient
cloud scenery with a federal gunboat at
the end of the vista. While he waited
he unused on the delights of the long
toddy, now for many moons missed
from his daily regimen. AS he unused
thus sadly a hail came over the water
and through the fog:
''Hi there, JOHNNY"
Hi there! Who goes there?"
Its me. Don't shoot for Gods safe!
I'm all alone. Got any tobacco?"
Course. Whom hell"
"Al right. I've got jug of whisky
here. I'll trade"
Sure, come on in"
Billy hurried down to the beach and
in half a minute a boat came ashore
with lone Yankee and a large demi-
john aboard.
Hello, Yank!"
Hello, Reb!"
Got the tobacco?"
Got the whisky?"
Here's the firewater, two gallons of
it,"
wait over there by that oak tree"
said Billy Patterson, probably indicat-
ing the Powhatan oak which still
stands on the exposition grounds.
Billy went into the works and pro-
curing a big roll of tobacco, rejoined his
friend at the oak tree. The Yankee
filled his pipe on the spot and began
to puff with great gusto, while Billy.
disdaining cup, gourd or glass, drank
deeply from the flagon.
The fog hung around all that day like
the ghost of a water goddess in her
winding sheet of mist, the guns were
silent, and no Yankee boats approached.
But what kept Billy Patterson from his
post?
The truth might as well be told first
as last. When the magnificent aurora
OF dawn again illuminated the oriental
horizon the inanimate form of Billy
Patterson was found recumbent on the
sod under the Powhatan oak.
Was Billy dead?
No.
Had Billy been hit?
He had.
Was he out?
