Another Shut-In

Dear Household: ] want to tell you all Of
my neighbor boy, Judson Jenkins, who is a
shut-in from rheumatism. His knees are drawn
up against his chest, and his fingers m
knots, although he can use them enough to
write or feed himself. He isn't any larger
than a five-yearold child sitting up In his
wheel chair. 1t will be thirteen years the last
OF July since he has walked. Just think, thir-
twenty-four years Of age the 18th Of April.
Can't you give him a good big dime shower, a
letter party?
Good books, post cards OF any kind OF good
reading matter win help him while away the
lonely hours.
Write, all OF you; don't wait, we know not
how soon he may be like poor little Ben
knight. Then IL win be too late. Anything
will be appreciated by him. Address Judson

then poked his head in the door.

Romance Of Married Life.

Really, the romance of life begins
only after marriage. 1t is then that
character is developed, that PERSONAL
tty is matured, that capabilities are
tested. Before marriage (until the
Individual becomes confirmed old
maid'or bachelor), life is more or less
in the nature OF stage picture, with
comedy and athletics predominating
The most in it is fun and frolic, music
and dancing, running and singing
plucking flowers and scattering them
That is eXcellently good while it lasts
1t is afterward, as a rule, that come
the realities that make men and WON

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The stock market to-
day fell into a neglect so profound as to re-
semble stagnation. The professional traders
the floor of the stock exchange apparently
had the market to themselves, and their ef-
forts to move proves nat with so little success
that they practically abandoned them and
left the market in it's dull and uninteresting
state the latter part of the session.
Some strengthening influence of a more
sentimental kind due to reports of an
intended movement among the insurance com
panies to secure modification of the law
calling for the sale of stock holdings in the
treasures of these companies within a stated
period. This possible liquidation has hung
over the market for over two years with de-
pressing eject on a number of railroad stocks.
One influence of repression on the speculation,
especially i'll foreign markets, is the attitude
Of waiting the Russian loan issue in Paris
on Frids-y.
The pressure for gold at Paris relaxed
Slightly today and sterling exchange advanced
sharply there with a corresponding relaxa-
tion in the private discount rate in London.
The excellent showing Of net earnings for
December of the Baltimore & Ohio helped
the Seaboard Soft Coal carriers. Holders of
the Interborough-M Me tropolitan stocks found
small consolation in a reported intimation
from the Pittsburg assessment to take care Of

CHICAGO GRAIN

Especial service to The Herald by Dick Bros.

bury building, Los Angeles).
CHICAGO. jan 19.-It would seem that in
wheat the bull news of the day sufh-
cient to establish better advance than that
recorded. There are two reasons why it did
not. One is that the bull leaders do not
wish to see a sharp advance in prices at this
time to interfere with a good cash and dis
tributing business now going from nearly
all the big markets. Another is that there
is very small volume of outside trade in
the market to pick up the market and keep
it going after a good swell like that of this
morning. Except that the winter wheat states
fairly well covered with snow, there is
scarcely encouraging bear feature in sight.
On the other hand, the foreign markets are
all strong and higher. Statistics are getting
bullish. The visible supply of wheat in this
country decreased 100000 bushels for the first
half of January. Primary receipts today were
more than SOC, 900 bushels short Of the same
day last year, and the same thing was true
yesterday. European visible supply is "a 000 :
600 bushels below last year. Buy wheat on all
good reactions.

prices, the higher opening Bradstreet's de-
creased stocks of corn east of the Rockies

Prices responded readily to good buying.
Only yesterday it advised by brokers
to keep eye open for a natural setback

tion of twice this extent would not have been
surprising. The selling was by local interests
working for local shakeout. The conditions
