THE STOCK MARKET.
Accuracy of the Exchange In the
Analysis of Events.

Accuracy of the Exchange In the
Analysis of Events.
Barring the case of manipulation,
which carries its own remedy and
which is one of the evils of speculation.
the stock market tells the truth. Tenn
porarily indications may be misleading.
but it is eventually shown that its
analysis of events is correct. The 81
lent panic of March. 1907. was a pre-
mise of the panic Of November. Dur
ing the intervening seven months prices
dropped steadily. showing plainly that
there was a weakness in the financial
and Industrial structure. The utter
foolishnesS OF blaming speculation for
the downward movement is obvious.
The stock market with its daily record
Of prices said as plainly as it was pos
sible to say: Danger. Stand from un-
der.'
Something similar happened in 1893.
Bradstreets for July 90, 1893, shows
that twenty representative stocks fell
ON an average 40 points, or more than
so per cent, between January and July.
This mitigated the effect of the panic.
One of the most striking illustrations
Of the cold blooded accuracy Of the ex-
change is recorded by Proudhon in
the Spectators Manual, published at
Paris in 1857, in which he shows that
In the later days of Napoleon and the
restoration, while French patriotism
was at white heat, prices on the bourse
advanced with each victory of the al
lies, rejecting the belief that the defeat
Of Napoleon meant more for France
than the success.-John Paul Ryan in

High Praise for Lauder.

She was highbrowed and soulful
given to the Ibsen cult and grand op
era In its grandest manifestations
hence 1t was with considerable mis-
giving that the young man took her
to see Harry Lauder
He is the greatest singer of his
kind in the world" the youth had ex-
planned volubly. Competent critics
have said that only once In a decade
does such singer appear" etc., etc.
And she had graciously consented to
look Harry over.
After the Scotchman's first song the
young man glanced apprehensively at
the young lady.
Her eyes were half-closed; she was
apparently in the seventh heaven of
enjoyment.
This" she said solemnly, lis art!"
Thenceforth that young man ceased
worrying and devoted himself to thor
ough enjoyment of the show.

F|DDLERS' CONTEST
IS ALMOST ASSURED
Committee of the Kings Daughters
Takes the Matter in Hand and
Will Arrange Details.

The suggestion of an "old fiddler's'
contest for the benefit of the Kings
Daughters has met with general pub
lie favor, and it is understood that a
committee appointed by the Kings
Daughters is now busy making the
necessary arrangements and that the
contest is almost certain to occur.
With the contest would pro,ahly
be announced in a day or two. In ad-
dition to the contest between the old
time fiddlers, additional interesting
features will be added to make the
occasion one of great interest.
There are a great many people who
even now prefer the old.time music on
the fiddle to the up-to-date operate
music of the violin. They say there
is more melody in the old-time tunes,
and no doubt it carries MANY of the
older people back to the time when
they were young and when thew
danced till the wee sma' hours to the
music of these old-time airs
Speaking of the fiddler's contest. a
gentleman, who is somewhat of a
musician himself, observed that an
old-time breakdown or dance. along
with the contest would prabably
prove taking feature, especially with
the young people who would like to

Uiuht and Pain,

Light is good for toothache," said
the doctor. Darkness is bad for it.
If you are toothache sufferer, haven't
you often noticed how the pain in your
jaw increases when, late at night, you
turn off the lamp and try to sleep?
Light, you see, is good for the tooth
ache. There are a number of diseases
it is good for-asthma, cold in the
head, earache. These diseases in the
dark all grow worse.
Darkness is good for a sick head
ache and for neuralgia and for nau-
sea. Haven't you noticed it? Light
and darkness-they are remedies
recognized at last; and to-day we pre-
scribe them the same as we do quinine
