THE THREE KINGS.
The kings came riding from far away
Melchoir and Casper and Baltasar;
Three wise men out Of the East were they,
And they travelled by night and they slept BY
day,
For their guide was beautiful, wonderful
star.
And when they came to Jerusalem,
Herod the Great, who had heard this thing
Sent for the Wise Men and questioned them,
And said: "Go down into Bethlehem
And bring me tidings Of this new king"
And the three kings rode through the gate
and the guard,
Through the silent street, till their horses
turned
And neighed as they entered the great inn
yard;
But the windows were closed and the doors
were barred,
And only light in the stable burned.
And Graded there in the scented hay,
In the air made sweet by the breath Of kline,
The little Child, in the manger lay,
The Child, that would be King one day,
OF Kingdom not human, but divine.
Then the kings rode out Of the city gate
With clatter of hoofs in proud array;
But they went not back to Herod the Great.
For they knew his malice end feared his hate
And returned to their homes another way.

The Evil Of Intemperance.
0Orr's Island. Dec. IL, 1907

0OAA . A5A<A<sAS AOSs 49, ASSss
To the Editor Of TIE AmerscaR:
feel that cannot withhold few
words Of approval in regard to the cor
respondence Of "H", from North Penob-
scot, concerning the Old Town riot. l am
really glad that there is at least one man
in our dear old State OF Maine who will
copdemn those law-breakers who set at
defiance our officers when in the discharge
OF their ofncial duties.
Such lawlessness, when carried ON in
any place, il q disgrace, and should Be
condemned by every loyal citizen.
sincerely hops that we may hear words Of
condemnation from every lAw-abiding
citizen who IL opposed to lawlessnsss and
anarchy, for it can be called nothing else.
. ! read with disgust what some papers
state in regard to the expense ofsustainin&
4 Sturgis commission. Mr.. Editor, but
for those law breakers, there would be NO
cause for such onicials. The two greatest
evils Of our land all know were
slavery and intemperance. The former
has been WHIPPED out, and do sincerely
hope that the other evil may also Be
overcome.
1t is surprising to me to zee some mon
who uphold the sale of Intoxicating
liquors as . beverage, when the effect OF
his satanic majesty's death-dealing cup
may have entered families well known to
them. Still we hear so few voices raised
against what is now the greatest evil Of
our country, and which causes, directly
or indirectly, . large percentage Of all the
murders, to say nothing Of the broken
hearts, the starving children, the homes
Of misery and woe.
Are there not others who may be heard
from oR this subject; il 90. ie them Be
not afr1id to speak. CHIPS.

SLIGHT DECLINE

New York, August SO.-The feature Tn the cotton market was the heavy Septem- Der notices, but fluctuations were com paratively narrow, and the market closed steady at net decline of to points. Sales were estimated at 25o,000 bales. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points. with near months proving the greatest loss owing to heavy notices, which were estimated at about 75,GO bales. There was a good demand from spot people on and immediately following the call, however, and as soon as 1t be- came evident that the notices were being stopped the active months sold up to net advance of Ito points on covering by shorts and bull support encouraged by the steady Liverpool cables and con There was heavy realizing later. partic- ularly as some of the more extreme bulls were disappointed with a private condl- tion report showing an average deteriora- tion for the month of only Is per cent, and during the afternoon prices eased off several points. The close was 3 or 1 points up from the lowest. The market will remain closed until next Tuesday morning. and realizing Tor over the holi- days was probably a factor after the early advance.

STRENGTH SHOWN / IN STOCK MARKET Good Prices Are Made on Lack
 of Selling Interest
CLOSE ALMOST AT THE TOP
With Holidays at Hand Market Opera tions Are Restricted, But the Situa- ton Proves Responsive to
 Bull Influences.

New York. August 90.-Wth a three-day holiday interval in the market impending, operators were inclined to reduce their outstanding commitments or in the case of smaller class of traders, to retire them altogether The hazards of a closed mar ket for three days was too great to make attractive an open account for the length of time without any medium available in which to act on events as they arise. The movement of the market was a plain indication of the extent to which the short side has been favored by the pro- fessional class of operators. The market proved responsive to any influences that would have helped the bears in reducing prices.
 Call money was moderately affected by the preparations for the monthly settle ments and by the fact that loans made at the stock exchange today carry over to next Tuesday, by reason of the triple holiday. The slightly higher rates for loans of this class that were charged received slight attention, however. This attitude was partly due to the feeling that the deposit of government funds with the banks to be made from week to week will safeguard the money situation.
 An early restraining influence on the advance was an argument advanced by the bears that the resumption next Tues day of the hearings in the suit of the government against the Standard oil company would re-awaken the harmful effects of that subject in the stock mar ket. This Srgument was emphasized by the circulation of rumor that the gov ernment counsel in that case was destined for the attorney generals seat in the pres ldents cabinet a rumor subsequently, de- nied. Bearish operations took more ac- count, however, of the small inclination manifest amongst holders of stock to sell, lndidcatng the strengthened technical po- sition of the market.
 The report late In the day that copper producers and large consumers had coms together on basis for important sales on the market complained that unwilling ness of the bears to leaven open short accounts Renewed advance in the wheat market indicating further fears of frost damage was ignored in the stock market. The extreme rise was curtailed somewhat
