THE ROCKING-HORSE.

Booted and spurred. we saw him mount
Just as the light was dying.
He hung to his place with an easy grace
And sent his good steed flying:
Flutter of name and clink of spur,
Into the shadows faring:
Some urgent need. some gallant deed,
Had called for such swift daring.
He must have finished the mystic quest
and come back weary-hearted,
For, bedtime near we found him there
In the place from which he started
The horse beneath his burden still
A faithful vigil keeping;
And arms out-throWn, face downward
prone,
The small kniEht-errant. sleeping:

man. But these are better than cash capital, for DO man can take them from you, and with them you can earn cash.
 Our men of wealth and influence did not start with any cash capital The went to work with their blow, hoe. the jack pane or ax. and in time their capital brought them a rich harvest. Ahl But there's the rub; you don't want to work You want to marry a rich girl who will support you, while you wear fine clothes. smoke cigars and be a gentleman of leisure.
 Shame on you. young man. Go to work with the capital you have and you will soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot make money upon what capital you have, you could not if you had large amount in cash. If you waste your present capital you would waste money if you had it. So don't stand around, great helpless fellow, waiting for some thing to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do and do it well. Always do your best, and if you manage your capi- tai that God has given you well, you will soon have plenty to man. age.
 The world would be happier if people were little generous with their praise. There is too much f1attery, but word of just appre- citation would cheer the heart and strengthen the hands of many a discouraged worker in the hJme. in the school, in the church and in the world.

MARKET WAS IN
STATE OF SUSPENSE
(By Associated Press.)

{ NEW YORK, April 6.--The an
nouncement of the Erie financial plan
which was made after stock market
closed on Saturday was without effect
today unless the torpid state of trad
ing was influenced by the peculiar
ties of the announcement. These
were the conditions attached to the
furnishing of new capital by the pur-
chase of $5,O0O,0OO Of new notes,
that all holders of notes maturing on
Wednesday of this week should ac-
cept newly issued three-year notes
in exchange, and in the absence Of
any assurance that the notes were
not presented for assent to this plan,
they would be taken care of by q
redemption in cash. The tone of the
official offer implied threat that II
any of the notes were withheld, the
plan would be allowed to lapse. The
alternative would be receivership.
In view of the fact tfas she majority
of the maturing notes are known Co
be in the hands of those favorable
to the plan and that being unse-
cured, the chances for the success
of the plan are considered good.
The bears were timid about attack
ing the market from fear that the
final success ON Wednesday for an
effort to secure exchange of old Ere
notes for new would prove new
stimulating tendency In the market
The stock market was held in a state
of suspense and animation through
out the day as consequence OF thesl
considerations. The operations be-
tween three and four traders Of a
more active class and in handful
stocks practically made up the whole
market. Bonds were irregular.
