Father Says Foolish Girl.
"AH I know about the elopement is
that my daughter is a mighty foolish
girl. She had everything at home that
she could want. The only reason 1 can
sive for the cIopement Is that she had
reached the sentimental age. This.
coupled with the reading of romantic
novels turned her head and made her
think that It would be decidedly novel
for her to skip out of Washington with
Mr.. O'BoyIe.

O'Boyle. I hear, is very nice fellow.

HARNESsED BIG FISH
AND IT OPENS NINE

Harnessed by a fisherman, huge
sturgeon performed the work Of clear
ing a clogged sewer in thu Blackburn
coal mines. The mine was flooded and
fifty miners thrown out of work 1t
was impossible for men 10 get at the
sewer, and the superintendent offered
$40 10 anyone who would clear the pipes.
William STICKY, a veteran fisherman,
snapped at the offer. He went to the
river and brought from his FISH box a
big sturgeon. Tying string firmly to
its tail. he started il head foremost into
the flooded sewer. Occasionally he gave
the SLACK line a sharp jerk. which so
angered the FISH that It made desperate
plungeS forward. Its sharp bill served
as drill, and in less than thirty min
utes Il had cleared the clogged sewer
and the water In the. mine began slowly

The Nations Unused Arteries.
From Golfers Weekly.

Deep waterways form a topic OF such
vast industrial Importance to our country,
of such immense potential bearing on our
future welfare, that the best thought of
Americans may we'll be concentrated on
that subject. The trip of the President and
the governors of Mississippi states is worth
the making even II 1t do no more than
stimulate such thought. Undoubtedly II
will do more. 1t will bring actual infor-
nation of the kind that only direct inves-
tigation on the spot can bring to q group
of men whose influence on legislation and
on public opinion Is very, strong. What
ever turns out to be practicable there can
be no doubt that waterways are a pro-
found strength to any nation. and that the
time should come when they will play a
far greater role In the United States than
they play now.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 2s-Even prom
inent banking interests acknowledged,
after the close of business yesterday.
that they were agreeably disappointed by
the character Of the money market
throughout the week They had feared
that 1t would be practically impossible
to keep the rates for call loans down
to basis that would not be regarded
as virtually prohibitive to stock exchange
transactions. AS the week advanced
however, they became convinced that the
preparation for the end-of-the-year de-
mands for money had been so carefully
made and that such extreme conserva-
tism was being practiced in all lines of
business that the money stringency would
not be SO great as had been very. gen.
orally predicted.
The character Of the foreign exchange
market and cable adviees from London,
telling of the cancellation of gold en-
gagements. ADDED to the better sentiment
that developed regarding the money mar
ket. Without question a substantial
short interest had existed for many
months, and consequently 1t was easy
ITO bring about yesterdays rally.
X
Ihls morning the sentiment was consid-
eranly more cheerful than it has been for
some days back. and it is thought that
the rally will go somewhat further. There
is still uncertainty as to what extent mon
etary conditions will ease from this time
on or after the first OIL the year, and also
as to whether easier conditions in the
money market will result In a revival of
general business.
Bankers seepo m ~ nret<,- o>~SS>rx xL,x
the money market next week would not
be much more troublesome than it has
been this week. and they were incliued to
think also that after the first of the year
large amount Of money that has been
hoarded since the midoie Of October will
appear In the regular channels of bust
ness Whether compulsory financing by
corporations will be SUFFICIENT in the ag-
gragate to keep money reasonably tight
they were unable to predict definitely.
Il
Ihe advices which are being received
nearly every day from important points
In the west and south indicate that the
banks throughout the country are in a
position as whole to resume business in
the regular way as soon as New York
gives the word. A western railroad prest-
dent who has just arrived here says that
many OF the banks in the west and south
nave not been in as strong a position in
many years as they are now. He said
also that not only are the deposits of
many Of them unusually large. but that
their supply of currency is far in excess
Of what they had ever had in their vaults
since their organization. He is of the
opinion that as soon as apprehension re-
garding financial and business conditions
has disappeared to a great extent bust
ness will be resumed rapidly and sener
ally.
