little significance in the price 'inove-

the shifting operations of a small pro

of the short-lived sen,ation caused
by the publication Of the pnrporscd re-
port of the Interstate Commerce Corr

tend this influence into today's dea'-

Measured the Time.

An old sailor was being examined in an assault case by cute young law yer. who questioned his veracity re- Harding matter of time.
 "You had no watch, and yet you are positive that the defendant was only ten minutes absent. doubt if you are able to estimate ten minutes of time correctly" he said.
 "Try me- said the old tar.
 The lawyer drew his watch from his pocket and said, When l call out Now you allow ten minutes to pass, and when 1t Is Up call out Times up.''
 The old salt nodded, and the lawyer called out NOW" Slowly the time passed, and the lawyer, with watch in hand, tried to wheedle him Into an ad mission that time was up. The sailor paid no heed and exactly at the end of the ten minutes shouted, Times up." The bewildered lawyer turned round confused at the courts loud laughter, and his eye lighted on the courtroom clock behind him, which had assisted the oil sailor In his task.

Subjective Drowning.

The dentists chair was tipped so far back that escape for the village seam stress, lady of remarkable conversa- tional ability, was impossible. Wads of absorbent cotton were tucked be- heath her tongue, some patent appli- ance held her jaws apart. and all the lower half of her countenance except one back tooth was concealed under a decidedly damp rubber dam. The patients mouth was full of water. speech was impossible, and the poor. naturally talkative lady was suffering agonies of discomfort.
 The engrossed dentist paid no heed to her squirmings or to the appeal in her eyes. Fortunately however, the patients hands were free. Groping in the reticule that hung from her belt, she brought forth paper and pencil and wrote:
 Help! Help! Pm drowning"- Youths Companion.

4 Pest. Curious Compliment.

It was the habit of Richard Henry etoddard. the poet. to always speak we'll of every one. No matter how bad the character of a person, the good gray poet Invariably found some trait to praise One day in his office on Park row some friend entered and asked him whether he knew so and so and. If so. what was the mans reputa- ton. It happened that the man had shady reputation and was we'll known as "gold brick" operator. The aged poet lighted his pipe and answered:
 "Yes. I know him. He is the most energetic, progressive, irrepressible' good natwoG, artistic kind of an un. mitigated rascal that I ever met."- LeslIe's Wee6ly.
