Market News

The market was inactive yesterday,
holding very well until near the close
when prices weakened slightly. The
coppers nearly all sold off, closing from
quarter to more than one point down.
There was liberal profit taking in Old
Dominion, which opened at sos, and
closed at 4S7s bid. Arizona CONNER
cial sold up to 3512 and closed at 34h
Other local stocks lost from an eighth
to quarter.
SO thoroughly professional is specula-
tion that the day-to-day fluctuations,
and more particularly the ups and
downs from hour to hour, afford no
clue whatever to the sentiment of the
investing public 1t is estimated that
at least rs per cent of the current trad.
ing represents the operations of either
the dominating manipulators or the
nimblc floor traders, whose only con-
Germ is TO keep abreast of the shifting
tide. The irregularity of yesterday ac.
cordingly means only that mild at

NeedIemork Notes.

Shelves for small supplies and box
lining, as well as knee board, win be
found very useful in the sewing room.
A japanese patterned crepe is a
dainty material from which to make a
kimono. The edges can be bound with
satin in harmonizing color or with
wash ribbon.
Among the daintiest petticoats worn
by baby with the first short dresses are
those devoid of RIFLES Above the hem
stitched hem are little clusters of EN-
broidered flowers.
In selecting Innings for a jacket it is
well to consider whether the garment
will be worn over light-colored waists !;
If so, it is by far wiser TO have light
lining than a dark oi.e.
The fancy vests which are being
worn are often made with no back
the fronts are connected by a strap of
elastic at the waist line. This makes
it possible to remove them with the
coat without difficulty.
Narrow velvet bands are now used
at the top of fragile collars, headed
with high ruching. 1t is found good
support for the collar, besides adding
much to the neck fixture. Satin bands
may be used in the same manner.
A very good trimming for the cuffs,
collar and tie of a very fine linen is to
work the edges with narrow scallops,
and make a border edge of pin-head
dots. each the size of an ordinary pin
head This can be made in a white
French knot. If color is desired then

Hints to Lovers.

Agree with the girls father in poll
tics and with her mother in religion.
If you have rival, keep your eye
on him; if he is a widower, keep two
eyes on him.
Do not assure the girl that you have
no bad habits. 1t will be enough for
you to say that you never heard your
self snore in your sleep.
Do not put too much sweet stuff on
paper If you do, you wiz hear it
read in after years when your wife
has some especial purpose in inficting
upon you the severest punishment
known to a married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in the
evening. Do not wait till the girl has
to throw her whole soul into a yawn
that she cannot cover with both hands.
In cold weather finish saying Good
night" in the house. Do not stretch it
all the way to the front gate, if there
is a front gate, and thus lay the foun-
dation for future asthma, bronchitis,
neuralgia and chronic catarrh, to help
you to worry the girl to death after
she has married you.

Aunt Sally demanded. Just imagine

that dangerous silence of his. "Newley.

And smiles when shadows bring despair
Who is it through her changeless day
Exchanging goes her faithful way?
Who is it keeps the light. the home,

Mother!
Who is it bears her little ills
With patience as the Master wills?

When others suffer, like the rose,
With soft compassion, tender wiles,
Dear touch of hand and charm of smiles
That bring back comfort, cheer and rest
To burning brow and aching breast?
Mother!
Who is it reads upon "his" face
The care that business leaves, the trace
of all-day worry, hard wrought grind,
Who is it brings his chair, his pipe,
And leans with lips where love sits ripe
To pour upon his troubled day
The comfort of her womans way?
Mother!
Who is it, when the gray wolves knock,
Guards with her soul her little flock?
Who is it nurses, rears and tends,
Heals little wounds and knits and mends?
Who is it takes her own joy less
In grandeur than in tenderness,
Long giving up through longdrawn years

A little quiet hour of cheer,
With work all done and conscience clear?

Who is it wins the crown she wears
When love lays wreaths upon gray hairs,
And joy on wings of softest gleam
Leads home her little ships of dream?
Who is it, though she goes not down.

Still lifts her burden. tolls her share,
Fulfills her trust and meets her care?

All, mock her not with rules unseen
OF garish eyes-a homespun queen,
A sovereign round whose scepter sweet

And builded in the hearts of time
The altar fires of faith sublime
