Somewhere in the veins Of Extra
Billy Smith. the confederate general.
there must have run an infusion Of
Hibernian blood. At least It is sug-
gested by story told Of him in the
Sunday Magazine. Smith was one of
the most irascible as well as one Of
the most patriotic OF officers.
On one occasion he was leading the
regiment Of which he was then colonel
on long and difficult march. Weary
and exhausted, the men halted for a
rest by the wayside When 1t became
necessary to move on, the general
gave the order, but the tired men re-
mained stretched upon the ground.
The order was repeated peremptori-
". Still no motion. BY this time the
temper OF the general was at white
heat. He thundered out:
III you don't get up and start at
once III march the regiment off and
leave every one OF you behind. p
Youths Companion.

Fun Is a Neeessltv.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life lnciden-
tails, not necessities; that they are lux
uries and have no great bearing upon
ones career.
Many think fun is frivolous. indi-
eating a lack of serious purpose in
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and go in for a good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy and their in
fluence on the life.
What a complete revolution OF your
whole physical and mental being

NEW YORK.

Distribution of staple goods by jobbers
tends to increase as the spring buying sea-
son advances and the large numbers of
buyers excursions draw merchants to the
market, but there is q consensus OF opin-
ion that buying is in high degree con-
servative, and that staple goods and what
may be cassed as necessities comprise
the heavier part of the business done.
Retail trade is very quiet, except where
price reductions on winter weight goods
tempt buyers, and final distributive de-
mand unquestionably feels the reduced
purchasing power of the public at large,
due to short time or reduction of earn
ings IN industry.
Wholesale trade is quiet as a whole,
and cotton fabrics, notably print cloths
and flannelettes, have been sharply cut
stocks of the former are reported to be
piling up despite reduced time worked.
Three-fourths of the normal production
is reported working.
Reports from other industries are irreg-
ular. The improvement in finished steel
noted last week has gone further and
slightly larger capacity is now at work,
but crude output seems to be no larger
some merchant furnaces are reported shut
ting down because of accumulation of
stocks, and prices Of some pig iron are
easier.

The weekly review of trade for the Chi
cage district, published by X. G. Daa 4
Co, says:
Trade conditions generally wOsld pre-
sent better showing Of the recovery now
taking place were il rst fer the hi
RANGES caused by the recent adverse
weather, which Jet surtais the movement
Of heavy freight and delays the starting
sp of new work in various lines. Eortu
natsly the dsteFrsnts are temporary, and
there il more effort to widen activity in
leading Industries, while the demand for
spring and summer merchandise obtains
further stimulus from largely increased
arrivals Of outside buyers.
Manufacturing 10 not yet relieved Of
the paueity Of new orders and only slight
Roadway appears in efecting gain in the
outputs Of iron, brass and wood work,
but the situation is distinctly more hope
ful and there Is gradual additions in ma
chinsry and labor forces.
An improved tone strengthens steel pre-
duction, there being more encouraging in
quiriss for rails and structural shapes,
while the booking in wire, merchant iron
and pipe equal expectations.
Pig iron prices waver and this operates
against the buying looked for. some heavy
consumers holding back for concessions
sn their needs. Ore supplies on docks
show less depletion than usual at this
time. but shipbuilding promises we'll fer
the coming season and this prospect A.
sures a steady ran at plate mills.
The markets fer grain and provisions
exhibit improvements, and, together with
satisfactory reports as to conditions Of
winter wheat, the agricultural situation
affords much encouragement.
The total movement Of grain at this
port Is affected by lessensd opportunities
for marketing, 4,4S7 ,29S bushels, compar-
ing with 1884 bushels last week and
S'Ol 1888 bushels year ago, the decline
mainly appearing in corn. Compared
with 1907, there are decreases in receipts
57.9 per cent and shipments 1911 per
cent. Receipts of live stock were 333, ,62S
head, against $685. 1852 head last week and
304, 800 head last year. Receipts of hides,
2,25S, ,562 pounds, compare with 2,S27 800
pounds last week and 2,4S6,052 pounds in
1907.
Compared with the closinss a week ago,

l kept place down in Detroit. Used
to have cigar counter, where every
body was supposed to help himself.
The prices were marked on each box
in plain figures. and another box
contained some change. and every
body was placed on his honor. Pick
out your cigars, make your change
and leave the money-that was the
game.
But after reasonable trial the
cigar counter didn't declare much of
dividend. People weren't honest
enough. There was TOO big a differ
ence between the sales and the cash
returns. Had to hire a OVERLOOKING
little blue eyed eighteen year old,
who whispered airy nothings about
roller skating and who chewed gum
assiduously, and after that the cigar
