Two Irishmen stood peering up at a
new flag pole, in the public square, re-
marking the bright bronzed ball sur
mounted by large bird at the top.
Suddenly before their very eyes, this
bird. which had been only resting there,
took wing and flew over their heads.
The Iiishmen stared. "Begobbs,
Noike." then calculated one, they f'r-
got t nail tn eagle down."

HORSE HAS MORE SENSE

Teamster Describes Actions of Animal

There were several wagons waiting TO

freight depot the other afternoon and the
teamsters ha gathered around the re-
ceiving clerks desk endeavoring to hur-
ry that person into quicker action so they
could unload their wagons and get home
before the street lamps were lighted.
Their efforts proving of no avail, they
started a conversation among themselves,
in which horses were the main topic.
You see that horse standing there"
said an old, griz2ied teamster, pointing to
large, well-fed bay mare attached to
covered delivery wagon; that horse has
more sense than lots of men, especially
men like that" he continued, nodding his

SEE HOPE FOR
STOCK MARKET
Opening Of New Year Brings Belief
That Better Financial Conditions
VIII Prevail Throughout
the Country
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The opening
Of the new year sees a disposition re-
fiected in the financial markets to turn
from the contemplation of mournful
yesterdays and to look forward with
hope and confidence in the future. The
conviction Is firmly based that decided
Improvement is ahead, but this convic-
ton has been tempered by some anx-
iety over a possible remnant of un-
pleasant consequences of the financial
crisis yet to be gone through.
A special field of uneasiness was the
provision for the annual settlements
in the money markets. which were
unusually heavy, while the resource
of the money market, already rapidly
improving, was still much impaired.
The smoothness with which the turn of
yesterday was effected went far to en-
courage sentiment, and to establish
{, .fidence that steady Improvement in
the financial position was to be ex-
pected henceforth. The call money rate
did not get higher than 90 per cent
which compares with a maximum OF
As per cent in the corresponding week
of last year. and 125 per cent in the
year preceding.
till more significant OF the growing
Improvement in the position was the
rapid dwindling of the premium on
gold, which signallzed the first busi-
ness day of the new year. So long
as the premium persisted an insur-
mountarle obstacle remained to the re-
establishment of a normal banking
position.
A growing demand for high grade
mercantile paper also offers promise
OF relief from one of the most threat
ening sources of embarrassment tc
come. growing out of the heavy ma
turlty falling due in that department
from time to time.
The professional speculative contin-
gent about the stock exchange harbors
a certain amount of suspicion of the
rise in prices as being due possibly
to fostering measures by bankers and
capitalists of large resources with tht
design to afford more favorable basis
for the completion OF some desired
liquidation when the expected relaxa,
tion In the money market may cause
some demand for securities.
The bond market is scanned will
some interest from day to day to de-
tect evidence OF a renewed flow Of
floating capital into investment. Some
increase of activity was discoverablt
last week, but the demand was mod,

ments of dividends AMI interest q

PRESIDENTS NAMESAKE
TAKES UP A NEW ROLE
PUDGY PETS Now ACT AS
CHAUFFEURs
fredericksburg Teddy Bears Ere.
quentIy Seen eIarins Defiance at
Motor Cops While Acting
Guard for My Lady

That popular pudgey namesake OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the Teddy Bear. has as
sumed new role in Los Angeles. He
was a little bashful about entering upon
this new work in the City of the Angels
for some reason. but he has been work
ing along this line back east for some
time past. For be It known that the
Teddy bear is now posing as "shaff-fer
or "show-fure," whichever you prefer to
call it.
Go down Spring or Broadway some day
and keep an eye out for the automobiles
lines along the sidewalk. You will notice
on the front of many of the machines, up
ahead of the tonneau. tiny Ted astride
the engine firmly seated In his rather
humid saddle, glaring defiance at all
motor cops and plain, very-day patrol
men who may not agree with the speed
he maintains on the crowded thorough
fares.s When my lady comes out from
her shopping trip through that horrid.
dusty old store. Ted, the feroctous, will
merrily and daringly spin her off to her
fine residence, blocks and blocks away.
at a blood curdling rate.
And the red bow around his neck will
add the dashing bit of color, which Is
needed to make the effect truly Teddy
esque.
This is not the only place where Teddy
acts as chauffeur, or at least as deputy
gasoline expert. For away back east
at the big varsity football games, Teddy
is seen on the automobiles which throng
the grounds, wearing the colors so dear
to the girl rooter, the crimson of Har-
ward or the blue of old Eli. mayhap.
The true sporting blood of this strenu
Gus animal is vouched for by his having
deserted the nursery and the parlor,
where he got dust on his back and was
bedaubed with candy, for the wind cut
ting bow of the auto destroyer" and
the ringing side-lines of the heavy
weight American game of football
And there isn't motor cop in the city
that can fine Teddy bear, no matter If
the autos speedometer gets the spinal
