Irregular weather conditions, with
heavy rainfalls Northwest, Southwest and
South, have given an uneven appearance
to retail trade reports. Reports from
wholesale lines and from leading indus
tries are, however, more cheerful. House
trade in fall goods is reported light, but
travelling men are sending in better or
ders, though conservatism rules in the
buying.
Reports as to Industrial assumptions at
full tine are more numerous in cotton
goods and allied textile lines, more than
offsetting reports of shut-downs. and there
are more iron furnace and coke ovens
reported going to work.
Collections still reflect the quiet trade
doing in backward payments. Money is
easy, but the inflow from the country to
the large centers is Stacking off percepti-

searching for her all over the town. n
she walked about as a young strange n
a brown holland dress, and not very
smoothly plated hair-traveling all night
does net conduce to a fresh and neat ap-
pearance-she must inevitably be pounc-
ed on by some of those who we're search
ing for her.
Wherefore, Ella resolved she would
hide for the remainder of the day. But
where?
All! l will 90 on; / will get out Of
this town; | will find a high road and
some fields, and / will go and sleep I'M
der some frees. / feel horribly sleepy !;
it must be delicious to sleep out in the
open air :"
Ella walked on at a swift pace to-
ward where the trees showed green at
the other end of the town; and soon she
was in a !eafy lane, with great hawthorn
hedges on either side of her, and mea-
dOws behind the hedgcs-meadows where
COWS were browsing, or lying down under
the trees, preparing against the heat Of
the day.
Ella went and looked over a stile she
cav a large EayTick under q clump Of
trees; beyond was a five-barred gate, lead
ing into 4 narrow lane, which branched
OF from the lane where Ella stood OF
the other side of that lane were farm
buildings and a substantial house, In
which dwelt the farmer, owner Of the
rick, and the trees, and the one meadow
into which Ella was gazing.
Il will go and lie down under that
rick, and listen to the rustic of those
trees, and l will fall into the soundest,
sweetest slecp" said Ella to hersels.
She soon put her resolve into execution.
She had not slept once during all the
last nights weary journey. She coiled
herself up between the thick hedge and
the broad haystack the clump of trees
hid her from anybody who might stand
at the stile. There she lay, IN a bed of
wild thyme, soft grass and clover and
there she slept for hours and bours, IN
disturbed and unseen.
Voices woke her at last-voices on the
other side of the thick hedge which sep
arated the meadow from the lane.
"Bunshury Fail we are bound to make
a good thing of, Tilda we always does
at BunA0ury; it's q nice little town, is
Bunsbury. Come, 1t amt so bad we've
over forty-five to put in the bank from
this last round, and all expenses paid"
"All expenses" said a melancholy
voice and what expenses do US two lone
women go to? Liza, where's our COM
forts?-where's our furniture, and our
little garden, and flowers, and c%hiffonier,
and feather beds, and lick and rab-
bits, and rose trees, and geranium pots,
and all the comforts of a settled home,
as is required by two lone women as
never had husbands, nor children, nor
nothing of our own? Sometimes, Liza, it
puts me out of patience to hear you talk
as if we ought to be cheerful-we, hat
has nothing but toll, and lives in a cara
van, and has got neither %neighbors nor
friends
Ella began to burst with laughter while
listening to the drawing lamentations of
the speaker. She was full Of curiosity.
She arose, and peeped cautiously over the
hedge into the lane, herself hidden by
the branch of a large elm which grew
close to the rick.

New Hampshire Democrats have elect
ed an unpledged delegation to the Denver
convention.
Taft and Bryan have agreed to urge
the publication of campaign expense ac-
counts, and both asked Congress to enact
a law requiring such publication.
The Democratic State convention at
Baltimore voted down resolutions in
structing delegates for Bryan at Denver,
although a strong faction of the conven-
ton demanded such a course.
Senator Bailey has been elected to head
the Texas delegation to the Democratic
national convention, n has been in.
dorsed for reelection to the Senate. The
delegation will favor Bryan for President.
In Oregon the remarkable political out
come Of the new initiative and referen-
dunn laws is the nomination of a Demo-
crat, Gov. Chamberlain, for the United
States Senate, and the election of a Re-
publican Legislature, each member of
which is pledged to abide by the prima-
ries in voting for Senator. Chamberlain's
majority over his Republican opponent is
about 1000. He has been twice elected
Governor.
Secretary Taft declined to be drawn
into a discussion of the r9nort that he
would resign from President Roosevelt's
cabinet on July 1, this date being fixed in
some quarters in the contingency of his
receiving the Republican nomination for
President.
Former Gov. John Lind and other
prominent citizens have become identified
with the Minneapolis Voters League. I'm
til the close of the coming municipal and
county campaign the league will be ac-
tive. The purpose of the league is to
secure the election of desirable men to
local offices.
While in New York Eugene v. Debs
gave to the press a formal statement of
his plans for the Socialist campaign, say
ing that he would begin at Chicago, Sept.
l, his active canvass and would tour the
country. He said they would have 5000
open-air speakers and that the Countess
of Warwick was coming to assist. He
called attention to the more practical
and comprehensive program of his party
this year and admitted that the new era
Of socialism would be approached by
gradual reforms. lie said that neither of
the old party lines were solid as Of gore,
and tha1 the Socialists would poll niora
than 100000 votes this year

Commercial defaults make the best ex-

are the cause of little adverse comment.
A comparatively lower volume OF pay
ments through the banks appears, OWING
to the week including only five business
days, but the daily average is better than
recently shown.
Railroad returns continue falling be-
hind those at this time last year, and the
offerings of heavy freight from the mills
and factories remain light. There u.s.
however, heavier forwarding Of farm pro-
ducts, and trade makes further reSponse
to more settled weather, although owl
dences of curtailed production diminish
rather slowly and notable demands in the
leading industries yet make a meager adj
vance.
A strengthening influence in current op-
erations is the healthier tone which per-
vades iron and steel and gradually in
creasing outputs in metal and wood work
ing lines.
Financial provision against future needs
is made less of a problem by greater ease
in the money market, and railroad man
ayers now give more attention to track
and equipment requirements, the prospect
Frightening for commitments which
should soon stimulate activity.
Distributive dealings remain very salts
factory in staple merchandise, wholesale
orders being numerous for warm weather
goods, and both local and country retail
sales have risen to a seasonable extent.
Mail orders from outside points for fall
and winter goods come forward freely.
High prices for grain enrich the agri-
cultural interests, and crop reports lndl-
cate gratifying progress under the pre-
vailfng ideal weather.
The total movement of grain at this
port, 7,4GO, 100 bushels, compares with
S,549,57O bushels last week and 1,2OS, 4SG

there is increase in receipts of 80 per
cent, and decrease in shipments of 1.G

Tho A1an who !. Ahead.

In almost every newspaper you pick
up you r pretty sure to find a lot
.of gush about the man behind the coun-
tier and the man behind the gun the
man behind the buz.saw and the man
behind the son the man behind the
times and the man behind his rents
the q behind the p%lowshare and the
man behind the fence; the man be-
hind the whistle and the man behind
tthe cars the man behind the kodak
and the a behind the bars the man
behind his whiskers and the man be-
hind his fists: and everything Is en-
tered on the list. But they've skipped
another fellow, of whom nothing has
Fbeen said-the fellow who Is even, or
"a little way ahead; who pays for what
he gets, whose bills are always signed.
He's A blamed sight more important
than the man who Is behind. All the
editors and merchants, and the whole
commercial clan, are indebted for ex-
istence this honest fellow a He
keeps US all In business and his town
is never dead. and SO we take off our
A,ats to the man who Is ahead.-Judge.
