Good manners are sometimes more

complete book of decorum. They should
not be COMPOUNDED with the fashions.
The latter have been described as a
perpetual setting up of a certain stand

exchange, and had taken a stiff drink
of raw whisky. Then the answer came.
He was ruined anyhow. If he failed
without further ado-that is, without
increasing his liabilities, he would be
cursed by twenty-five of his customers
and by fifteen of his fellow brokers
who were lending stocks to him. But
IL he made one last desperate effort he
might pull out of the hole, or at worst,
why, the number of cursing customers
! would remain the same, but the fellow
brokers would rise to twenty or thirty

market had become undoubtedly a bull
market. The bears had been fighting
the advance, and there still remained
a stubborn short interest in certain
stocks. as, for example, in American
Sugar company stock. Now, if that
short interest could be s~tampeded it
might mean an eight or ten point adj
vance. If he bought 10000 or $4,000
shares and sold them at an average
profit of four or five points, he would
put off the disaster, and if he made
ten points he would be a great oper-
ator. He had, to be sure, no business
to buy wen 1000 shares of Sugar; but
then he had no business to be onsthe
verge of bankruptcy
The liquor was potent. Sally said to
himself aggrievedly. ST might as well
be hung for a flock as for me measly

He walked a trife unsteadily from
Fred's across the narrow asphalted
New street to the stock exchange.
He paused at the entrance. There was
no escape. Unless he could make a
lucky strike he would fail ignomini-
ously.

to himself and walked into the big

but cool, almost cynical. On one of
the little slips of paper on which bro
kers jot down memoranda of their

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Annual Meeting of American Board to
Be Held in Cleveland.

The ninety-eighth annual meeting of the
American Board of Foreign Missions will
he hell in the Pilgrim Congregational
Church, Cleveland, O., next Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday. Many of the local
Congregational churches will send dele
gates to the meeting.
The committee arranging for the three
days meetings says OF the program:
For the sermon and communion we unite
with the National Council and other
benevolent societies in n service Sunday
morning, the preacher being the Rev.
George A. Gordon, d. D., OF Boston. For
many years there has been a demand for
more addresses from the missionaries at
the annual meeting. The officers of the
board are entirely in sympathy with the
desire, and in recent years have modified
the program scheme considerably with
that IN view.
O course, as the missionaries increase
in number it becomes increasingly difficult
to give them an adequate hearing, es.
pecially shis year, when we have two less
sessions thar usual. But we expect to
manage it by having little else but mis-
sionaries on the program and cutting
down reports to the lowest limit. Twenty
six missionarles will speak. Instead OF
bringing them on in divers portions and
manners, as formerly, we have arrange
them in groups according TO countries.
This we think will be a great gain.
"The~e has been also a desire to hear
more from the laymen. and we have met
this by a mems session Thursday after
noon. to be addressed by four or FIVE
leading laymen in our own and other de-
nominations. Another new feature is the
series o. stereopticon lectures by mis-
sionaries in a nelghboring hall, running
simultaneously with the regular sessions

addresses by DR.. Charles Cuthbert Hall
and by the members of the China depu-
tation, Secretary Barton and Professor
Moore, are other strong features, Alto

titled with the McGregor Mission in

the interests of poor, neglected men and
children. To look after these city waits
was the work to which Mr.. Augustine
devoted himself.
The new Newark minister was also
interested in 7. NJ. c.. A. work, and
during the Spanish American Wa he
had charge of the Y. M. C. A. interests
in the Thirty-hfth Michigan Volunteers
while that regiment was under call.
Latterly Mr.. Augustine became a
