III THE HoRE NEST
Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers
THE SERPENT THAT CHARMS.

lHE SERfENI THAT CHARMS.
There is a certain species OF
reptile found in all parts of the
known world; its home is not so
much in the jungles and wilder,
ness, as one might suppose, This
serpent frequents the hauntS of
men, showing by this that it is OF
a sociable character; cities, vii
lagos, and the sparsely populated
neighborhood, each and all claim
its attention.
Its form is often so beautiful
that it becomes a household pet;
it is flattered and caressed as much
as the most honored guest. 1t is
found among the first circles Of
society, dazzling all with its
music, and alluring with its
specious wiles the most unwary;
the fairest forms, the purest char
acters are chosen to satisfy its
craven and demoralized appetite.
While it seeks out the homes Of
the honored and refined, and glides
into the hearts of the most confd-
ing, it is not the least partial in
its choice Of associates, for the
haunts Of the vicious are not un-
frequently visited by this wiley
serpent,
1t certainly does "hiss" long
and loud; but never until after it
has struck its poisonous fangs to
the most vital part. The very
best physicians have failed to find
an antidote for its venomous bite.
Unlike other poisonous reptiles,
it does not produce immediate
death; but the victim fingers
along, it may be for years. One
is never free from the fear of re-
ceiving another attack from some
unknown quarter. Although
these reptiles are very numerous,
and constantly venting their spite
upon some one, yet they may be
in ones own dwelling for years
and not be recognized.
They have often been known to
sting their best friends; even the
hands that feed them are in no way
exempt. For thousands of years
this species of serpent has been
nutured and cherished with al
most unbounded admiration; but
its affections are not bound to any
one, and no laws of the land are
strong enough to free us from this
terrible scourge.
Would you see this serpent in
its worst forms? Visit the knots
OF men that are gathered on the
street corners. 1t is always there.
If you wish to behold it in its ele-
gance and beauty, go to the sew
ing circle, to the afternoon tea
party, to the evening social, and
see what smooth, soft voice it |
has, to attract attention. Ah!
did you not notice that sharp,
forked tongue as it uttered that
last beautifully phrased sentence,
that closed abruptly with, "but--I
| was going to tell something, but
guess I'll wait until another
time"
The name OF this serpent is
SANDER. We hope it has no abid-
ng place in the home of any Of
1ur readers.

Leads In Tobacco Also,

According to late government
bulletin Missouri leads in the pro-
duction OF tobacco, her product being
valued at nearly thirty million dollars,
Carolina coming second with thirteen
millions and Virginia fourth with ten
millions. The Republican does not
approve the tobacco habit in any Of
its many forms, and is not inclined to
be proud of this showing, but still
there is some qualification in knowing
that our soil and climate surpass any
other in stimulating the earth to pro-
duce her biggest crops.

THE STOCK MARKET

The traders on the floor expressed among the rate would be increased to six or seven per cent. No authoritative information was forthcoming on the subject from any soYce hung back since the new movement in Southern Pacific started aroused suspicion as Union Pacific would be the largest ben cific dividend. The strength shown by Atchison was attributed to the expectation Thursday will show earnings very largely in excess of the present disbursements in dividends The movement in Atchison also gives some stimulation to the demand for the controvertlpie bonds. only part of which were subscribed for by the stockholders. It thus happened that Southern Pacific and Atchison were the sustaining forces in the market in the same way as yet.
 There was correction also of the sharp
 material feature in % dssurSins ie tSe aG market yesterday and the opening decline today. Buyers of the stock professed confidence that the strike of iron miners in the Lake Superior regions would rebound to the bene- fit of the corporation although this would signify some plans of contraction in pres pect.

The case of the local money market is in face of payments since the last bank accounts for the Union Pacific convertible bond instaiient and for American Telephone stock.
 One of the features of the investment sit- uation Is the constant recurrence of such re- Quirements as these for capital issues made some time ago and can be paid for in pe- riods running far into the future Future supplies of capital are thus bespoken in advance

 New Orleans July 23-Influenced by the continuance of very hot, dry weather in the cotton belt. the heat having became all the el after opening about unchanged from the close of yesterday. The official report of the Government Weather Bureau showed the unusual high maximum average of s7 degrees for the entire belt. the mercury for the dis trict of Little Rock having worked up to 100 degrees. indicating that the temperature cially since stations in the district of New Orleans. reported 100 to 1o5, the average of which district was 9s degrees.
 A noteworthy development in connection with the hot wove was located in the fact that it was working % westward and had maximum for the district of Galveston fig uring 96 degrees, against s2 yesterday. and there was an aSsenee of rain in the belt districts of New Orleans .04. Montgomery .O1 and in the district of Savannah. 2s: the average rain for the belt being 8 of an inch
 That the need of rain has become more ur- gent and over greater area than imag- ined. was forcibly demonstrated by todays weekly government weather review. which not only stated that a number of counties in the western half of Texas were in want of moisture, but mentioned the fact that the precipitation during the past week In Ala bama. Arkansas. Florida. Georgia, Missis- nessee and even in the Carolinas was below the normal. are deficient. in some sections decidedly
 The crop is backward in all sections. except perhaps in South Georgia and South west Texas. that 1t is no further advanced than it should be in the latter part of June. Therefore it is claimed that it is in no state of development to withstand such ex- cessive heat as is now prevailing in all dis l tricts of the belt. There is possibility of occasional showers tomorrow in extreme southwest Texas and Mississippi and Ala bama, and at the moment. 1t is threatening here. but if general relief is not had by the end of the week in the way of copious rains and in a lowering of the temperature much complaint of shedding might be the result Consequently operations will be based principally on weather conditions. If rains develop, the market may be lower. if dry weather continues higher levels are more than probable.
 A forecast as to the August Bureaus pos abilities made today. indicated i'm provement placed at 9.6 points for the month which points to Government con- dition report of about sol The trade IS looking for about 7S to so. Today Georgia marketed it's first new bale. against August 2nd, last year.
