VISIT TO MOUNT VERNON.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One after
noon We boarded a boat at the dock in Washing
ton and went up the river to Mount Vernon. The
place has been kept nearly possible the way
it when first President owned H. l do
not wonder he loved the spot. Below in front
rolls the river On both sides is stretch Of beau
tiful lawn. In the back are the cottages-the gar
dener's house, the laundry and the where
the spinning done. IN one little house you
can see the old coach in which Washington drove
to church in Alexandria
Coming downstairs from the second story where
YOU see the bed which he died a little box
high up the wall attracts your attention II It
is a large key-Qute ordinary looking key.
It is the key OF the Bastile, the famous French
prison.
In one Of the rooms IS a carpet, with the coat
of-ars Of the United States worked IN the centre.
It present from Louis XVI.
In another room you see Nelly Custiss
harpsichord- II IS a queer little instrument with
two rows Of keys on the order OF organ.
Down below the house in The tomb the
cof7ns Of Washington and his wife, which fresh
flowers are put every day.
When boats go by IN the river below they toll
d bell until they have passed the house. TtIs
think IS Of the prettiest tributes we pay to
Our first President. Hoping this is not too long,

WHO WAS 1T?

Once there was a maiden who wouldn't be polite;
Wouldn't say Good morning and wouldn't say
Good nighr.''
Felt it 100 much trouble to think Of saying
please;
Slammed the door behind her as II she'd been a
breeze;
wouldn ask her mother II she could take run;
Ran away and lost herself. because It was such
Merry little maiden Isn't It too bad
That with all her laughter. sometimes she was
sad
But the reason for II isn't hard TO find.
For this little maiden didn't Ike 70 mind
wouldn't do the things she knew she really ought
10 do.
Who was she? Oh never mind. I hope It wasn't

of governmental activities against cor poratlons The publication of the annual report of the Pennsylvania railroad, ai- though it dealt with conditions of the past, was made the occasion for support of the stock owing to the record achieNe, ments of the year in earnings as Weh as in outlay. The reports supplied py the railroads to the interstate commerce commission of monthly net earnings are read with growing attention, althoush the changes in accounting prevent ac- curate comparisons with previous re- ports.
 The legal requirements for methods or accounting give these reports added au- thority and the ratio of operating ex- penses affords a clew to the effects now being felt from economics. These are becoming more efective as the return to the owning companies of idle freight cars is perfected which made heavy and expensive movement Of empty cars while it was at it's height.
 Copper was marked down again today, both in London and at the New York metal exchange, and this had an infiu- ence on the reaction in prices from the advance. Money and exchange markets were dull and featureless. The reduction in last weeks reports from New York to value of over S20,000,000 Is explana- tory of the restraint on any advancing tendency in the foreign exchange mar ket.

 Decline of Few Points
 From the Top
PRICES MAKE GOOD RISE

New York, March 3.-The stock mar ket was whipped into a semblanee of animation for time today, but soon the proceedings dropped back into a lethargic state, with reaction from tho advance. Covering operations by shorts were assigned as a chief source of the demand which was melted by suc- cession of incidents of the last day or two, serving to make the shorts uneasy. Today there was printed in the financial district specific statement attributed to Attorney General Bonaparte that there was no intention on the part of the gov ernment authorities to move an injune- tion against the payment of the Southern Pacific dividend on shares held in the Union Pacific control. The bear element in the speculation has been making much of this supposed intention to help In depressing stocks, and they bought to cover with this development.
 Support is still in evidence in National Lead and the resumption of mining oper- ations in the Montana copper camp con- tinued under discussion with some stm- ulating effect on the copper industrials. The extension of the rise today after a considerable advance yesterday, drove in some shorts which were not affected yesterday. The dying out of the demand after these operations were effected was pronounced The element that prospers with the progress of attempts to secure legislation looking to the limitation or such operations to the actual transfer of holdings fully paid for. The intro duction of a bill in Congress to tax stock transfers at the rate of DO cents for every $100 share of stock. makes penalty that would be prohibtiye Of the ordinary marginal operations in stocks Reports that this bill had the approval of the administration were made throughout the stock exchange and added to the feeling of gloom for some time prevalent there over any chance Of re- vval of stock market activity. Fears were expressed of a similar message from Albany.
 The agitation in favor of restriction of dealings in future privileges on commod- ities added to the importance of the suD- feet in the estimation of the stock trad ing element. The numerous prosecutions announced on behalf of the government against railroad companies for non-eom- pliance with the safety device require ments of the law kept alive the subject
