The commercial mortality reflects in
creased stress of a temporary nature coll
lections generally being better. but pay
ments through the banks show tie small
est comparative decrease in some time,
and the evidences of returning strength
in activity have become more distinct.
Heavier movements appear in grain, pro-
visions, live stock and hides, together
with increased employment in ore and coal
forwarding. Demands are seen ID be
more numerous for pig iron and steel, al
though the tonnage still compares unIav-
orably with this time last year. Wider
deliveries of factory woods, minor meals
and leather working supplies testify to
preparations for increased outputs in va
rious manufacturing branches. Lower
prices have stimulated much inquiry for
railroad requirements, and important
commitments are likely to be made soon,
financial negotiations on which they de-
pend being favorable.
Bank clearings, $500, 3O9,3 $40, are 9.5
per cent under those of corresponding

Aside from the continuance of the bet
ter tore as regards the future and some
further enlargement of Industrial opera
tons, notably in textile lines. there Is
little new to report as to trade. Bust
ness as a whole has been quiet. There is
general agreement that retailers stocks
are not large, but filling-in orders con-
tinue to be frequent rather than heavy.
Fall buying has been a trifie more assured
at eastern and central western centers.
but conservatism and disposition to
await crop and political developments
guard against anything like tree buying.
Collections are backward as "a whole.

a First Lesson I'm p,p,om.cx


The State Superintendent of Public
Schools of Maine recently recalled a
story of his early school life, which the
Kennebec Journal prints. lie distinct
ly remembered, he said TO an audience
Of Maine ''schoolma' ans" his first day
in school. 1t was also his brothers
first day, and they occupied seats across
the aisle from each other.
IT was in the afternoon when the
young and pretty teacher came to my
seat, placed her hand on my shoulder
and asked, Don't you love me?"
| was almost frightened out of my
wits, but l managed to look up at her.
NO ma'anI," l replied.
She then went to my brother, directly
across the aisle, and asked him the
same question, to which he replied:
Yes. ma'am-"
You may readily imagine which Of us
got the raisins from the pudding during
that term of school. All that 1 got L
pounded out Of my brother.
l forthwith made up my mind that
whenever that question was asked me
again | would always reply:
Yes, ma'am."

The Busy Married Man.

When a man is safely married,
You would like as not suppose
That, his troubles being over,
He has entered on repose,
But just then he hears his lowe, lovee
Murmur questions such as these
as my back hair flying. dearie?
Will you put my combs in, pleaseT
Maybe he is in n hurry,
Rushing out to catch a train.
When he's stopped by some one calling,
In a voice that's full of pain,
Notwithstanding he is flying,
In the hottest kind of haste.
"Will you kindly wait a minute,
Dear, and button up my waistF'
Sometimes when he takes her walking,
Spick and span. and quite at ease,
In his newest suit and necktie,
Feeling happy as you please,
Stopping on dusty crossing,
Where the breeze is busy, too,
She comes at him in this manner:
Won't you kindly tie my shoe"
Often when his thoughts are busy,
From his brilliant get-rich dream
He is rather rudely awakened
With great and dazzling scheme,
BY his wife. who stands before him
in a sad and soulful pose,
Saying, Tell me, tell me truly,
