HEARD ON THE B0URsE.

Miller-we are distinctly bullish at
the moment, especially on Amalga-
mated Copper.
1t looks as if the redemption clause
would be taken off Southern Pacific
figure later on in some scheme of
Union Pacific financing
Price Current-Corn planting de-
layed by wet weather but ample time
remains Winter wheat outlook not
sired in much of the area. Oats do
ing well where seeded early.
Barrell-would much rather buy
wheat on the breaks than sell it on
the bulges and especially September
which we feel confident will ultimate
ly sell at premium over July
Logan-We believe September wheat
still at sufficient discount to make it
saft for buyers on all forced breaks
white-We suggest sales of wheat
either July or September, every time
we have a little rally.
Bartlett It is impossible to form
an opinion on the May and July wheat
under existing conditions.
Bache-We believe the public will
finally come into the market at higher
levels
Dick-It will not be surprising to see
general reaction during the next few
days. even though the present rise is
warranted a reaction is due. The adj
vance has been rapid and the new
prominence of specialties is not a ia
vorable sign.
If you can't bull Union Pacific, you
cannot bull anything. We advise you to
Island are attractive. Canadian Pa
cific will surely sell above ITO. Buy
fuel all recessions.
Town Topics.-The short interest in
Smelt and Acp. big enough to invite
attack and sugar is expected to make
long delayed move before long.
Among cheap stocks higher prices are
in store for Fuel and Cotton Oil. We
also expect to see better prices for the
steels, including Rbc. We look for a
strong opening with higher prices
generally.

I shall withhold my selection until salts
fed that every woman present at the time
the round robin was decided on has sent
in her proposal
The girls all looked at each other.
Miss Boyd proved equal to the occa-
sion. sit is evidently a ruse," she
said, ''to gain time. To accommodate
you 1 will take measures to bring him
to decision by writing proposal. 1t
will be a mere form. My identity will
be the only one he win know He will
then plan for further delay by asking
for the names Of the others But do not
despair; some of you will bring him
down yet" This view of the case sat
isfied the candidates, and the young
ladies went away. All admitted that
middle aged man would be sure to
choose, If at all, from among the young
est candidates.
Another week passed without word
from Miss Boyd. The young ladies,
growing impatient, went again in a
body to her house. Again she received
them with embarrassment and this
time refused TO show q reply she had
received. Attacked front, TANKS and
rear, she at last yielded. The reply was
this:
Dear Miss Boyd-I return certain anon
ymous letters received by me recently,
none of which interests me- Your PROV
osition viii be considered and a reply
sent you later.
There was blank stare on the faces
of the candidates. Then Miss Boyd, re-
covering her equanimity, said:
Our plan has failed. 1t has been
evident from the first that Mr.. Harri-
son is sufficiently adroit to get out of
the trap without appearing ungallant''
"Ungallant" cried one of the girls.
lis 1t gallant to say to a woman who
proposes that her reply win be sent
later, with view not to sending it at
all?"
This remark gave the impression
held by the girls. and all took their
departure feeling that the plan had
miscarried. Indeed, each girl, though
her identity was unknown to the snub-
Der, felt that she had been snubbed.
A month passed, and the episode
was nearly forgotten. Occasionally
Miss Boyd would be asked if anything
more had come of the matter, to which
she invariably replied:
you silly girl! Wasn't it plain to
you that Mr.. Harrison was too smart
for you all?'
| But one morning each of the five re-
| jected candidates rushed to the other
| four, exclaiming, "Have you seen ft!'
"Yes. Isn't it shamefulY'
"Catch me again employing wom-
an as a go-between in such an AFFAIR."
The occasion of this comment was
an item in the society columns of
| newspaper:
The engagement is announced Of Mr..
| Guy D. Harrison to Miss Margaret Boyd.
'eYou are all wrongw said a married
woman to one of the ex-candidates on
hearing the invidious remarks. MAR
garet Boyd is only Twenty-Five. and
there has never been time that she
couldn't get almost any bachelor In the
city she wanted"

a Leap Year
81 = Round Robin.
fOriginal.l

In large cities marriages among the
so called higher classes are decreas-
ing. A young man even of means has
many things to deter him from matri-
mony and many things to induce him
to remain single Housekeeping in
style is expensive, while there are mag
nificent clubhouses in which q bachelor
may spend his leisure.
At a social gathering of young ladies'
the indisposition of eligible men to
marry was under discussion. Miss
Markham declared that it was the
fault of the girls that they did not use
the sex's privilege to snare the bach
elors. Now, there's Guy Harrison"
she said. Hes entirely eligible in
every respect He's president, vice
president and director of no end of
companies, and everything he touches
turns to money. He's thirty-f1ye, well
educated, refined and intellectual. Why
hasn't some girl appropriated him
Men don't think of marrying, or If
they do they consider it in the remote
future till they are shared"
Very well,'' said Miss Boyd, q spin
ster of thirty, consider yourself APP
pointed to snare Mr.. Harrison"
Thank you for the honor conferred
upon me, but l am not inclined to do
all the work myself. l will, however,
join in a round robin with the others
present with a view to accomplishing
the purpose. Let US each write a leap
year letter to Mr.. Harrison proposing
marriage This will arrest his attention
and force him either to choose one of
US or appear ungallant"
Bravo shouted every girl present
''How delightful! Come; let US begin -
Letters were written by five young
ladies, each one of whom signed an as
sumed name to her epistle Miss Boyd
RETAINED on the ground that at her
age it would be highly improper to
offer herself To this the others as
scented. She was surely passe, though
very attractive woman. She wrote
Mr.. Harrison that she would be pleas
ed to have him send his reply to he1
and call upon her for information con.
corning the writers. Then all the letters
were put into the postofice at one
time, that they might be received to
gether. Miss Boyd promised as soor
as reply was received to call the can
didates to her house to hear it read.
A week passed, and, not hearing from
their medium, the young ladies became
impatient. Then after consultation
they resolved to go to her house and
ask If reply had not been received
Miss Boyd received them, somewhat
embarrassed and with a faint color In
her cheeks. She admitted that she had
| received a reply and handed it to Miss
Markham to read:
Dear Miss Boyd-I heartily approve OF
the leap year plan adopted by certain
young ladies. but disapprove of any lady

Women and Diplomacy.

almost all the celebrated women
have gained their fame by diplomatic
means. The famous women Of Jewish
history were all subtle N their meth
ods-Rebecca, Jael and Herodias, to
name but a few of them. What born
diplomatists, too, were Catherine of
Siena, the great saint, and Catherine
lie Medici, the great sinner. The list
of them down the ages is amending.
