MY SISTER.
BY E. L R.

(Written by Mrs. w. c. Belman upon
the death of her sister)
She went in the early morning.
In the summer dew of youth;
We reason not with the calling,
When love takes love is the proof
Gentle and tender the bidding;
Needed in Heavens bright throng
To finish a chord in some measure
OF their sweet immortal song.
IN a garment of white we laid her.
Under the trees and the skies,
To their kindly watch we gave her.
For chiselled marble dies.
Tho we hear sweet strains of music
While unlettered time goes on.
One voice is forever silent,
One sweet note forever gone
The buds will open and wither.
The flowers will come and go,
May dews turn to SHOWS Of winter
May green to Autumn's rich glow
VIII she never. never. no never
Smile. when we all smile. too?
VIII the daisies bloom In the meadow
Just as they always do?
She is gone. but her memory fingers.
For the angels knowing our woe.
When they p1ucked the tender blossom
Left some of its fragrance below
The song birds go with Autumn,
But come again in the Spring,
The sun that goes down at even.
Another glad day will bring
How perfect to waken forever
In a morning eternal and calm
And mingle thy newborn rapture
With the swell of an infinite psalm.
For the song that thy lips are singing.
In waves OF celestial refrain
vainly our duh ears are listening.
But our hearts are catching the
strain

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 24.-The stock mar
ket started off strong and higher with
Reading and Union Pacific the parti-
cular brilliant features. Early prices
for these two specialties showed gains
OF about two points respectively. There
was considerable rumors afoat about
the Union Pacific contemplating a
lemon" cutting, but even with this
choice bit of news, the insiders We're
unable to sustain values. 1t is not at
all probable that the company will do
anything in the way of melon cutting.
1t is more probable that the Harmon
crowd viii issue further short time
notes to finance some of their deals.
These rumors instead OF being of a
benefit to the market were a detri-
ment.
Quite bit of apprehensiveness was
expressed over the crop situation In the
southwest, but Wall street traders as
rule are reluctant to believe the dam
age stories, which are circulated in the
grain pit. But todays action of the
grain market induced considerable
selling of such stocks as Atchison, IN
ion Pacific, Southern Pacific and the
shares in other roads which traverse
the winter wheat belt.
In the late afternoon a severe blow
was given to the market by the an
nouncement Of a decision rendered in
Albany which affects the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company. A bill was
passed through one of the houses pro-
viding for a five cent fare from New
York to Coney Island.
This has been the bone of conten-
ton between the Brooklyn company
and the courts for almost year. The
company securing a temporary injunc-
ton against the courts restraining
them from interfering with the con-
templated raise from five to ten cents.
Today's action of the assembly was
not wholly unexpected, but it had a
very depressing influence upon the
price of the shares of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company They suffer-
ed a decline of over three points for
the day, closing almost at the lowest
figure of the session. This weakness
started selling throughout the entire
list which closed the market weak and
at the lowest prices for almost all of
! the active shares.

Financial Bureau-Bullish operations
are likely to be continued in the stock
market today. Preference should be
given in purchasing to the leading
stocks, and we would not buy them on
sharp bulges. but on soft spots. Rea
sonable returns ought not to be ne
elected. Issues that have been dor
mant in the last day or two will prob
ably be brought forward more promin
emily. There is indisputable evidence
of inside manipulation against the
shortage, which is still large. Outside
buying. as stated yesterday, has ap-
peared, and will extend if the manipu-
lation is not excessive.

The newspaper talk about the presi-
dents activity in an effort to control
the presidential nomination may be
taken with a grain OF salt. This is a
civil service reform administration, and
it is not likely. in the first place, that
President Roosevelt would use the of
fetal machinery which the whole peo-
pie pay for, in the furtherance OF any
personal ambitions of his own. He
has more than once described that
sort of thing as being little better than
treason Moreover. the people of this
country would not take kindly to an
effort to control them through gentle
men holding government jobs and US
ing the time paid for out Of the public
treasury for purely private and per-
sonal purposes. The newspaper CORPS
at Washington has had some of it's
privileges curtailed recently, because
of undue liberties taken by certain
journalistic irresponsibIes, and the
stream of gossip about White House
interference in political affairs is prob
ably due in no small part to the pique
of certain of these ndividuals.-Mar-

It would be well il there was more
OF this sort Of guaranty" given By the
men who are fundamentally responsible
for financial disorders. The fact of the
matter is there is growing sentiment
throughout the country for a sharper
and clearer delineation Of personal re-
sponsibility in the banking business; a
definite sense Of reliance upon legally
imposed liability and the alignment Of
the person. as well as the institution,
when it comes to the essense Of account
ability.
This should prevail in much larger de-
gree than it does at present and it is
thought Congressional action viii be had

In this great department Of commercial
Life, in Europe. is far stronger and more
directly applicable. than it is in the
