Tom Ochiltree's Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscout, down to
the Battery to show the sight of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as "her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet iss
grand! Eet is grand! Dair iss no
such moon in all Italy!" Count, "
said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted
the occasion, you just ought to see
the moon in Texas!"

TWAS IN 'TATER TIME.
One Thing, at Least, the Mother Was
Positive About.

The late Senator Platt Of Connec-
ticut enjoyed funny stories and could
tell good many himself. Notwith-
standing his long public life. he al
ways remembered yarn that he car
ried from his school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one of the teach
ers, in making record of the ages
of her pupils, as required by law,
found that one little girl, who came
from a family not noted for being
especially bright, was unable to say
when her birthday came.
So in order to complete her records
the teacher walked two miles to see
the girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked If she could remem
ber just when her daughter was born
the woman thought for some little
time, and then with sort of puz
zled look, said:
"Well, the gal was born in 'tatel
time. that's sure, but can't member
whether they was a-plantin' on 'en
or a-diggin' on EN-"

"chiId, child! You Break My Hearth

who knows tiff you could but re-
member the name"
There came a day in the early au-
tumn when with fearful eyes the
friends of little Gabrielle gathered
around her couch. The little life was
fast ebbing out.
Tell the Herr Professor" she whis-
pered. Just then step was heard
without-the door opened and the
master stood on the threshold. Cab
RELIES eyes grew radiant and she
stretched out her little thin hands.
"It is the Herr Professor!" she cried,
joyfully.
The next instant he had crossed
over and knelt by her couch and TAX
ing the little feeble hands, pressed
them to his breast.
"Leibchen! lamkin! beloved child"
he cried. "Ach! mein Gott! but 1t Is
cruel!"
Sing me the song you sang in the
church, dear Herr Professor" she
begged; Il have waited so long to
hear it again, and am so tired-ah,
so very tired, and l cannot rest"
Then the master raised his power
full voice, its richness mingled now
with solemn tenderness.
"Ueber die sterne list ruh," he sang
again-sang as he never sang it be-
fore, as he would never sing it again,
and the dying Gabrielle listened with
parted lips, while into her weary
dark eyes there stole a sweet, rest
full peace.
"Ueber die sterne ist ruh!" she re-
peated feebly. What does it mean,
Herr Professor"
"Over the stars is thy rest" said
the master, solemnly. Rest for thee,
little Gabrielle"
"Ah! it is for me! for me the song
is made!" cried Gabrielle, smiling
weakly. Il am so tired, but-over-
the stars"
The sentence was finished in
heaven, where she had found rest at
last. They laid her gently back and
led the sorrowing father away; then
the great musician bowed his head
and wept over the little lifeless form.
"Ach! meme leibe kind" he mur-

then when autumn comes again" said
the master, smiling, Il shall come for
her and take her to the Fatherland.
We will make a great singer of thee,
leibchen."
Through the late winter and spring
Gabrielle advanced rapidly and her
tutor was full of pride at her prog
ress. But when the hot days of sum-
mer came she began to droop; the
slender form grew thin, and the rosy
color faded from her cheek. By-and-
by she became too weak to continue
her lessons. Poor little Gabrielle! it
soon became apparent to all who saw
her that she would never sing for
the world. Yet-let me change it
rich Gabrielle, she would sing, not
for the world, but for the angels. She
fingered on until winter, growing
weaker every day, but making no
complaint save weariness.

Chicago, March 1-WHEAT-Sentt-
ment on wheat was bearish in the ex
IRENE today. Values eased If about
three quarters of cent for both July
and May wheat. The bearish feature
was the reported lack of demand for

consumers; a reduction OF ten cents a
barrel in flour by northwestern millers
was another of the depressing factors
used by the bears to hammer prices
Argentine shipments were smaller than
last week; foreign markets held steady,
early Liverpool markets were a shade
higher than yesterdays closing prices
The speculative market here closed
weak at the lowest prices of the day.
CORN-Followed in the path of
wheat, weak and lower on general SELL

the car shortage. Eastern exporters

NEW YORK LETTER.


New York, March 1.-Traders came
down this morning imbued with the
idea that the worst features of the
market had been discounted and in con-
sequence they were inclined TO buy
stocks for a turn. Prices, however, did
not show the strength after the rally
Of yesterday that was expected. Early
trading was on a little larger scale
with Union Pacific, st. Paul, Copper
Reading and Shelters the chief fegt-
ures.
Any one that could guess the fiuet@-
atoms in Reading today was certainly
entitled to the profits therefrom' II
opened at 116, sold down to 11S1s and
back &c 1853 all during one business
day. Traders who usually operate In
this stock were twisted one way and
then another. The final close was
only a half point lower than last
nights closing sale notwithstanding
all CT It's gyrations. st. Paul deVlated
from it's usual actions and almost be-
came a leader in the market 1t open
ed at las, sold down to 144B and UP
to l452. The strength in this issue
was ascribed to buying by houses with
Boston connections. In addition 70 THIS
bull tip was sent broadcast through
out the country to buy it for $50 by
one of the leading traders of Boston
who has quite a following In any stocks
| that he takes hold Of.
Money conditions do not warrant any
substantial rally in prices, the ruling
rate today was per cent; the highest
rates obtained per cent. The factor
almost precludes the possibility of g
rampant bull market at the present
! time
The entire market showed feverisi
tone. The close was strong in spots
with slight gains here and there
throughout the list.

Good Journalism.

What constitutes good journalism?
1t is the old question over again and
many and varied have been the an
swers thereto. Pick up a paper teem-
ing with advertising, q veritable mine
financially to its owner. and you may
be constrained to remark that 1t is a
good paper. From commercial view
point. yes, but the paper may be sad
~ lacking in its editorial and news fea-
tures--a paper run for what there is
in It.
on the other hand the paper may be
trimming full of news, carefully edited,
it may contain interesting illustrations
and bright miscellany and still be lack
ing in something. It may not have
enough advertising patronage to keep
the balance on the right side of the
ledger. 1t is not a successful news
paper.
Good journalism means more than a
paper full of ads. The balance be-
tween news and advertising must be
maintained. 1t must have influence

WILL GOVERNOR VETO?

Will Governor Hanly veto the Nc
Cullough bill after that measure has
gone through both houses like a cy
clone? The bill plainly shows the viii
of an overwhelming majority Of the
representatives OF the people and pas
sing as it did, is passage cannot rea-
sonably be said to have come about
through a talented motive. 1t may be
said that the majority of the better
element" is in favor of a perpetuation
of the metropolitan" regime but that
is merely an assumption, and a shallow
assumption in a few individual cases.
What was intended should be a most
impressive effort was made to bolster
UP the metropolitan law before the
Mccullough bill got on the floor of
either house, but even the heaviest
guns were short OF range 1t was
merely a waste of ammunition for the
Mccullough bill passed the house by a
practically unanimous vote and the
senate passed it up to the governor
with only thirteen dissenting voices
out of forty-nine.
Pending the passage of the bin it
was freely predicted that in the event
of it's passage the governor would send
it back with his disapproval, but at the
time those predictions were being
most freely made it was not expected
that such a storm of approving popu-
lar sentiment would be developed.
It is plainly the win OF the people
as expressed through their represen-
tatives to have the control of the po-
lice taken out of the hands of the
state executive and placed in those OF
the municipality
In the face OF the vote the govern
or's veto can mean nothing more than
the assertion of a personal opinion and
the defence Of a personal principle. In
the nature of things veto can serve
no other purpose, as the measure has
enough and to spare OF votes to carry
it over the head of the executive.
Whether Mr.. Hanly approves, dis
approves or allows the bill to become q
law with ten days lapse. we may as
we'll prepare for the change.
