Rustic Pieces Of SiIuer for

Instead of vases or bowls for flowers
that are TO ornament the dinner table.
the rustic pieces made Of silver are
pretty as well as practical.
These are made in various shapes ana
forms. and are really several small
vases rising from the same base, the
whole made to represent a cluster OF
branches from a tree
The rough bark Is well reproduced In
silver, and the different little branches
are, OF course. Of irregular heights and

MdRinQ Friends.

We can set along without most
things in this world better than with
out friends.
Friendship is one state where the
modern craving for novelty does not
make good.
The new friends may seem to super
sede those Of youth, but somehow the
latter are the ones 10 whom the mem
DRY clings longest.
Some people never learn 10 differ
entiate between friends and acquaint-
ances. A big visiting list may not in
clude one friend really worth while.
Never expect OF a friend what you
would not be willing to give her. bet
ter yet, give her more than you eK-
pect and disappointment is less newt
able.
Weedlike growths cannot hope for the
life OF a carefully nurtured shrub. Sud
den friendships rarely can be har-
vested.
a few friends Of whom one is sure
are better than a bunch OF untried

you get down in your luck-then you

There is NJ loss that carries with #
quite the sting Of losing a tried and

Think not her your best friend who
makes the most noise about friendship

worst doors when the pull comes.
II YOU have many friends whom you
can count on to be staneh. Whatever
the test. know yourself blessed above
most naOrtals, and be mighty careful
that the first rift In those friendships
does not come through you.

THE STOCK MARKET Character of Trading Which Marked the Day in Wall
 Street. MUCH WEAKNESS EARLY Considerable Significance is Attached to the Selling of Penn
 sylvania.
MUCH WEAKNESS EARLY

The character of yesterdays selling of stocks was closely studied with a view to finding out just how much emanated from leading interests, how much from weak individuals and insti- tutions, how much from the public at large. and how much represented short selling. A close observer expressed the opinion that the last three groups con- tributed most of the transactions; that the bears, seeing liquidation by insti- tutions and many smaller individuals, thought banking interests would not continue to hold the basket" This theory is probably the right one. Bank ing interests. having spent two weeks in stimulating public confidence by helping along the January rise, appar- ently thought it unwise to try to check liquidation and a somewhat lower trend of values. That this policy would be unwise. was possibly decided on by reason of the occurrence of various dis turbing incidents during the last few days.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Rumor of Rock Island Embarra SC.
 ment Cause of Severe Decline.

New york Feb 3-The dull ani heavy tone of the stock market o-day was due largely to suspended inter est on the part of speculator and in vestor alike The early weakness was clearly due to activity on the part of a professional element on the short side and this selling was partly covered by repurchases before the end of the ses- sion. Beyond this demand from the m
 covered short interest there was little sign of any absorptive power. The dis sen2ination Of rumors in a rather reck- less fashion was an incident Of the day. which was laid at the dor of the bearish activities Anonymous tele- phone messages to bank depbsrors to awaken their anxiety and to prompt withdrawal was feature that came into notice on Saturday and prompt ed some indignant discussion The successful closing up last week of four
 smaller banks seems to have suggest
