The short interest was largely ex-
tended during the last hour of trading
yesterday. The bank statement out
look is very favorable, advices from the
grain sections are more encouraging
investment buying has again appeared
in the market and confidence is re-
turning to some extent Consequently
we believe that purchases of the gift
edged railroad securities on soft spots
this morning for a turn will be liber-
ally rewarded. Despite all the talk
Of an immense shortage in steel, we
look for only temporary rallies in this
stock. with new low record prices for
the year inevitable later on. Amalga-

In the last hour the character Of
the trading seemed to indicate de-
termined effort on the part of opera
tors on the short side of the account
to close stocks as low as possible
Some of those identified with the move
ment are very resourceful especially
in developing material with which to
attack the market. Coincident with
the activity of the bearish element, ru-
mors of all sorts became current, some
of which speedily recognized as old
friends. The New York Central was
invoked as an aid in the campaign,
and a detailed story of the necessities
of the road and its prospective plans
was put in circulation. 1t aroused no
special interest, inasmuch as it bore
all the earmarks of the origin as
half a dozen other detailed stories
which have been current for two or
three weeks.

When the rumor that control of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron had passed to
the steel corporation became current
In the financial district the denials were
ignored temporarily, and score or
more of incidents supposed to verify
the rumor were offered in evidence.
Those who are supposed to know some
thing about it, positively denied the
rumor. These denials were not ac-
cepted as final, however, by the skepti-
cal, and that was the situation at the
close.

WHEN BUTTON CAME BACK.
Explanations Were Neither Offered
 Nor Seemingly Wanted.

It is said that 50 years ago man named Dutton lived on the present Squire Smith place, near the bridge crossing Sugar creek, on the road to Bean lake. One morning Mrs. Dutton had bread to bake and sent Dutton out after an armful of oven wood, as they call it over there-heavy wood to pro- duce lasting fire. Dutton was some thing of slow poke, and as he went out his wife. who was something of a shrew, said to, him. Now don't be gone five years"
 The husband did not return with the wood, and his disappearance caused a big sensation. Some said he had been foully dealt with, others said that he had eloped with a woman. But ex. actly five years later he walked into the house with an armful of oven wood, which he threw into the wood box of the kitchen stove. His wife displayed no astonishment, whatever her feelings might have been. Now '' she said, carry the slop out to the pigs"
 Dutton carried the slop out to the pigs, as directed, and resumed his old place in the household without con- ment or explanation.-Atc Globe.

WAS TOO EAGER TO CONFESS.
Case Where Investigation Should Have
 Preceded Explanation.

A story is being told of pickpocket who. when accused of theft, was touch ed on hearing that the watch pur- Joined had belonged to his victims mother, and caused it to be restored. If we were all arrested when appear ances are against us many would risk being charged with pocketpicking, says the London Standard Lord Russell of Killowen certainly would not have escaped-did not, in fact AS young man he went to a theater, where he was wedged in the crowded pit, to hear a cry raised, My watch Is gone!" The man who complained | declared that the thief was Russell or one or two men between whom he was standing. Russell suggested that they should go to the box office and be searched. As he led the way it occurred to him that if the man be- hind were guilty he would try to thrust the watch into his (Russell's) pocket, so he drew the tails of his coat tightly around him. To his horror he felt that the watch was already there!
 Luckily, as they approached the box office a detective recognized the man behind Russell as an old thief, and took him into custody. The other two received apologies and were permitted to depart But the watch burned in Russels pocket. He could not let an innocent man suffer. He walked slow ly back to the office and confessed that, although he was not the thief, he really had the watch. He put his hand into his pocket to produce the hateful thing. and drew out--a forgot ten snuff box

SWELL SOCIETY BARS THE PERRY BELMONTS

Jockey club, Turf and Field, Coaching club and similar organizations in this country, but he is a member of tho Reading room at Newport and was one of the two Americans elected to the Paris Jockey club. To cap the climax Perry Belmont is president of the Allied Hunt club. of which the Chevy Chase organization is a sub ordinate member.
 The divorce records of the Belmonts is believed to have something to do with their rejection. Mrs. Belmont was formerly Mrs. Henry T. Sloane Sloane sesured divorce from her in 1899, and she was married to Bel mont the day the decree was granted. Perry Belmont also has a divorce rec ord. He married Miss Sarah Whit ing when he was young man, and the two went to Paris on their we'd, ding trip. Mrs. Belmont came back alone and secured a divorce A baby was born after the divorce was granted

TT has developed that the Perry Bel monts have suffered a rebuke in their attempt to break into" Wash ington society. MT. Belmont has been rejected as member of the Chevy Chase Hunt club, and this action has brought to a climax sensational so- cial situation.
 The fact that there has been all winter social campaign for and against MT. and Mrs. Perry Belmont into which all their New York connec- tions-the other Belmonts, Sloanes and Astors-have been drawn, makes this social tempest of wider propor- uons than those which are ordinarily discovered in teapots.
 What is, perhaps, the most curious part of the situation lies in the fact that MT. Belmont is an active mem Der of many cubs far and away more exclusive than the Chevy Chase. He is not only member of the Knicker. booker. Manhattan, New York Yacht club, Metropolitan, Army and Navy.

FAT AND SLIM FOLKS GET UNCLE SAM'S HELP
VXTASHINGTON.-There

"AS1INGTON.- N.-There are too w many fat people and too many thin people in the country, and the government through the agricultural department, is conducting expert ments to show them how to strike an average. c. F. Langworthy, chief of the division of nutrition investigation, is conducting investigations which in. clude dietary studies, digestive ex- periments and various other things in connection with food.
 How to get thin and how to get fat are being experimented within a course of dietary studies at the University of Maine, at Orono in that state, under the supervision of Prof. c. D. Woods, and at the University of Tennessee, at Knoxville, by Prof. E. c. Waite.
 These experiments were in full swing before Secretary Taft entered the cabinet, and therefore it cannot be charged even in a presidential cam paign that he used his influence to get the government to work on the scheme.
 Now is the time to get thin, the governments experts believe. With the approach of the summer and its
The Prescott daily news., 1907-04-29

green vegetables the path of the fat man who wants to reduce is made easier
 To fat ones the government says: Eat little, sleep little and drink less" To the thin man it says: Drink all you can. eat all you can and sleep as much as you can"
 The thin man who wants to get fat must eat and drink everything that he can stomach. He must eat plenty of potatoes, bananas and bread: most important, he must drink before and after his meals
 The experts say it is principally what person drinks and not what he eats that makes him fat Fat is mostly water. 1t is asserted, and the more water or other liquids person slows away the more likely he is to gain weight.
 Above all, thin person who wants to spread out must sleep ten or eleven hours day. A nap after each meal is offered as an excellent inducement for fat to come and stay. On the other hand, the man who is trying to lose weight is advised that he keep moving after a meal to thwart the dread adipose.
