THE LOCAL MARKET
Weakness Continued and Prices
Ruled Lower

The local brokers declare that the
market has never experienced such
discouraging period as the past
week. Persistent selling of large
blocks OF few unsupported stocks
caused their prices to decline stead
lily and as none OF the stocks on the
list made advances to offset these
losses the public remained apa-
thetic. A few courageous specula-
lators are taking advantage Of the
situation to load up with Copper
King and Reindeer, on account OF
their cheapness, but naturally they
are doing nothing to advance prices.
There are signs, however, that the
stocks have gone as low us they can
be forced and that there will be a
gradual recovery from now on.
Independence Placer, Rhode Is
land and Success are now called reg
ularly at each session and consider
able sales Of all these stocks are re-
ported to have been made off the
board.

The No. tunnel on the Snow
storm. which Ii now In about $500
feet, has broken into an enormous
ledge, whose presence was utterly
unexpected. The workings first en-
countered four-foot tale seam. and
have ever since been in picking
ground that is SO soft the machines
had to be discarded and the work
ings timbered right up to the face
to prevent the stun from caving in.
The whole mass Is good teaching ore,
the values being principally in cop
per, though some galena and lead
carbonates are also to be seen.
The main ledge is nearly 1000
feet ahead Of the present workings.

Reindeer Title All Right.

AS rumors have been In circula-

has put that baseless story to rest.

Man at the Helm.

There was no doubt III the riin{i.;
of people who knew the Caneroas as
to who was the head Of the house in,
every sense of the word. So accu:-
toned were the Camerons. large and
small, to look to father for advice
and opinions on every subject that
they unconsciously afforded more or
less amusement to their friends.
'Do you mind this extreme cold
weather, Mrs Cameron some one
asked her one Icy winter day. and the
little lady smiled cheerily.
"Oh, father says it's much healthier
for everybody than last winter she
answered. HE says we all feel much
better than we did"
Indeed said the friend, with a
spice Of malice. II thought heard
that all Of you except Mr.. Cameron
had been quite Ill with throat trou-
bles."

AN APOLOGY.
By Henry Abbott.
Copyright. 1907. by May AIcKeon,

Gadsby Jones was a peppely man of
about fifty years who lived i'll the vii
lage of Hornsdale. 1t was well known
to all the inhabitants that he was pep
perry and carried chip on his shoai-
der, and they took good care not to stir
him up. In the village of Winston,
four miles away, there lived another
peppery man about the same age. His
name was Talbot, and he was so
touchy that he had to be handled with
gloves. These two peppery old men
had known each other by name for ten
years before they were introduced
Mr.. Jones happened to be over at Win
ston one day, and while at the hotel
Mr.. Talbot came in. They were rather
chary Of each other for awhile, ill.,
stfnctively scenting danger, but when
that feeling had finally worn off bit
the peppery Mr.. Jones remarked:
Its my opinion, from what l have
seen SO far this season, that we are
going to have a plague of tater bugs.
shouldn't wonder if we lost the whole
crop"
We'll, dunno" replied the peppery
Mr.. Talbot. in my opinion all the in
dications point to return of the grass
hoppers."
II differ with you, sir.'
And differ with you.''
There isn't the slightest indication
of grasshoppers."
"Nor the slightest indication of tater
bugs
''You seem. sir, to be a conceited
man.
''And wouldn't guarantee that you
had an ounce of brains''
Il demand an apology at once!"
"And demand the same.'
As neither would apologize, they sep
arated in a spirit of bitterness AS
they lived four miles from each other
and as they had managed to get along
fairly well for years without knowing
each other, their feelings would have
made no difference but for one thing.
Gadsby Jones had a son twenty years
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1907-08-29


old, and Mr.. Talbot had a daughter
nineteen. The young people had met
and admired each other before the
meeting of their fathers, and the fact
was dimly known to their respective
parents. When Mr.. Talbot went home
from the hotel it was to say to his
daughter:
Ruth, are you acquainted with
young Jones of Hornsdale?"
"Why, yes, have met him. admit
ted Ruth, with blush.
'Then don't meet him any mere.
He's horse thief"
"Why, father, how you talk!'
'aThat is to say, his father.is the big
gest old fool in the state, and I'm sor-
ry now that didn't call him liar.
II catch the son hanging around here
! shall kick him out in short order.''
Aud Gadsby Jones returned to Horns
dale. getting madder every rod OF the
way, to say to his son:
Homer. do you know girl over at
Winston named TalbotY'
Talbot? Talbot?" mused the young
man as he tried to appear Indifferent
"Yes, sir, Talbot. Seems. to me |
heard you say you took her to the cir
Gus"
'tOh, yes, Ruth Talbot
"Well, you drop her like hot later.
I met her father over there today, and
OF all the cantankerous old cusses
ever ran up against he takes the cake.
He owes me an apology, and until he
makes it no son of mine can enter his
house."
The son and daughter could not look
upon the matter as the two fathers
did, and neither Of them felt obliged
to obey the parental injunction. While
they did not openly defy 1t. they con-
tinued to meet at intervals, and ad-
miration and friendship finally ripened
into love. In this they were secretly
supported by Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Tai
bot. The two peppery old men, who
had lived for fifty years without know
ing each others existence, seemed
fated to meet at intervals after the
disagreement Within a month both

There Is good deal of simplicity
about the game Of rackets, but it is
SO fast that one has to move into posi-
tion rapidly. hit rapidly and recover
rapidly. The movements of player
must be almost instructive. This is the
reason why those who learn the game
very young have better prospects. The
greatest mistake of men who take up
rackets In this country is that they
often learn bad form at the start,
which only the most careful practice
will enable them to ever overcome. AS
a matter of fact good many of our
players do not care to take the time
for such practice. Bad footwork and
a poor wrist are the causes of the down
fall Of nearly all Of our second and
third class players. Plenty of men,
physically well equipped for the most
strenuous rackets, will peg along for
years and never learn the game prop
erly, simply because they began badly
and either have never taken the trou-
BILE or do not know how to correct
their faults.--George H. Brooke in Out
ing Magazine.

TRAVELLING Sand Hills.

On the coast Of Pomerania there are
large tracts of sand heaped up by the
wind, hundreds of yards in breadth
and from 60 to 12O feet high. and
these hills, propelled by the wind,
move steadily in an easterly direction.
The speed at which these great hills
travel is from thirty-nine to fifty-six
feet a year. Pine woods, which some
times come In their line of march, can
not stop them and are completely de-
stroyed. The branches are rotted of
by the sand. and nothing is left Of the
trees but the bare stems, which after
q few years wither and die.
