THOUGHT
Suppose no flower of beauty bright
In all the world had charmed our sight
And suddenly a no sc was there,
With all its grace of scent and hue,
swsyed by the breeze, lit by the dew,
Incomparably fairl
Is there man who would not feel
A rapture through his senses steal
And bind him with a spell
Who would not own spch thankfulness
AS blinded eyes could never guess,
And words could never tells
Too many sunsets we have seen,
Too many glades Of gracious green;
By blessings manifold o'erfed,
For us LIES miracles grow null,
Our ears, our eyes, our hearts are dull
Our souls are surfeited.

Women often marry for a home,
for money or because they wish to
show some other woman that they can
marry that particular man.
Learn to understand your husband

Pretty women are not in demand :;
neat girls are.
ITO hold the love of your husbands

you are the angel they supposed you
before the wedding ceremony.
women should love their husbands
more than their children or parents;
otherwise they will not be ideally
happy"

Advance Of $e3.75 Per Share In One
Day-Market Value Of All Stocks

Concerned Increased $40, ooo, 900.
New York, Oct. 81. A gigantic
merger of the four leading express
companies, according to report heard
sibility within a short time. Something
of this kind is surely forecasted by
the recent remarkable market action
of the stocks of these four companies,
their combined increase In market
value within the last few months be-
ing more than $4,000, 900, which is
nearly the par value of the total CAPT
tai stock of all the companies.
The par value of the capital stocks
Of the companies follow: Adams. s12,-
1000; American, $18,000,000 United
States, S10,000,000, and Wells-Fargo,
$4,000 900. American stock is up to
S25 a share, United States to S104,
Adams to $3.50 a share, and Wells
Fargo to s475 share.
In one amazing jump Of S93.75 a
share, Wells-Fargo made the most sen
sational rise in the stock market since
May 8, 1901, when Northern Pacific
jumped from around 5000 to $1,000 a
share. Last year this company earn
ed $50 per cent, and In the previous
year 5098 per cent on its capital stock.
There are no encumbrances In the
property, and an enormous reserve
has been built up out of earnings. The
stock pays 10 per cent dividends, and
conservative brokers say that the In
crease is due to the promise of an
early advance In dividend rates.
The rise in the value of the UnitId
States company's stock is quoted in
the same quarter as due to an increase
OF per cent in the dividend rate of
that company, which puts its property
upon per cent basis. Similar divi-
dend increases have been made by the
Adams and American companies.
Within a short time the annual re-
ports of the Adams. the American and
the United States companies will be
made pablo, when 1t will be possible
to form some idea why the dividends
have been increased at this time.
knowledge that the late e. H. Harri-
man thought enough of the express
company stock to invest more than
81 100000 In the Plat companies is
said to have been a market argument
responsible for some of the activity in
speculation.
