APRIL FOOL LAND.

There's a joyful land, understand.
For the folks who know the way;
It's hard 10 learn the place to turn,
Ond IT can't be reached In day.
oh, a triCksy road
And miXey road.
That leads 10 the Joyful Town
Where every rule is April Fool
And streets run upside down.
Policemen bold are clowns, I'm told.
And all the money is Jokes.
And as for the king. in the land sing,
He's the fellow that's best at a hoax.
oh. the royal crown
In the Joyful Town
Is the jingling TESTERS cap,
For every rule Is April Fool
And every door Il trapi
With willy care must you beware
OF the sign posts In Jhat town;
They always sound the other way round,
And they're mostly upside down.
The pie crustS hide
White mice inside,
And the frightened guests all scream
For every rule is April Fool
And schools an idle dream.
Small children play their tricks all day,
And never, are spanked at al;
Are glcefully playing ball,
The rain and sun
join in the Iun
To trick the Weather Man
For every rule, is Apri! Fool
And cooks play Patty-Pan.
Now, once year the folk come here,
And a joyful time have they.
They turn the town quite upside down
On April Fool-hls day.
If l could find
The roads that wind
Across TO joyful Town
I'd backward run and have some fun
With Harlequin and Clown.
Where every rule IS April Fool
And streets lead upside down.

Married in Her Bare Feet.

III the American Magazine Lucine
| Finch tells the story Of Aunt Eliza,
a slave who kept on serving her master
! after the war was over:
Aunt Eliza never wore shoes, She
went barefoot everywhere-to church,
to market and about the house.
"My footsies hurts me- she would
say plaintivcly, and no one would make
her wear shoes if they hurt her poor
feet.
My grandmother agreed to reason
with her as the time for Aunt Eliza 5

iscd and my mother bought the gayest
pair of carpet slippers and the largest
pair, that she could find,

The ne:ghborS helped TO decorate the
house, and big table was set on the

Aunt Liza was unusually solemn all
day. My dear grandmother was

could not be happy. and my father, with
determined face, told the preacher
that we loved Aunt Liza very dearly,
and that he should always keep his
eye on her.

preacher said, which made nanny

SOME CONFUSION
IN THE TRADING
Lack of Uniformity in Market
Is Noticeable During
Week.
SPECIAL STOCKS ARE
IN CONSIDERABLE DEMAND
Better Impression Comes, How
ever, From the Metal
Industries.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Thcrc was
a lack of uniformity about trade move
mcnt in the stock market last week
that indicated some confusion and lr'
regularity of speculative sentiment. Sno'
cial stocks were in eager demand and
lifted sharply. while selling prcdom'
mated at other points. The extent TO
which the previous rise had gone and
the length of the period of the ad-
vance offered leading motive for the
selling which was prompted by the de-
sire TO realize accrued profits. 1t is
evident that consideration of the grain
crop outlook is gaining in Importance
from the standpoint Of the financial out
look and the present promise lacks
cheering effect.
The consideration is given 10 the
highly speculative element in the high
price level ruling in the wheat market,
to the effect of small foreign stocks
of wheat and TO impaired yields of
foreign crops. After allowance is made
for all these factors in the situation
there remains a substantial residue OF
anxiety over the backward development
of the American winter wheat crop.
Until that condition is corrected there
will be lacking confidence IN the I'M
provemcnt in the condition over the
governments April estimate, which is
relied upon 10 assure against threat
encd shortage.
An unfaVorable note was the report
of fresh increase in the number OF
Idle freight ears in the country for the
half month ending March 81, following
successive, though small, reductions
since the first of the present year. As
the net result was in spite of sub
stantial reduction in surplus coal cars,
due 10 the rush OF stock up with coal
in fear of a possible strike, unfavora-
bic deductions were drawn of the prog
rcss of freight traffic and general mer-
chandisc movement.
Metals Are Better.
From the metal industries better
came. y factor in creating
this feeling was the report of the
showing a growth in that month of
only nine million pounds IN the stocks
of marketable copperS IN rehners
hands, in spite of a production for that
month in excess of that either for Feb
ruary or January. This result was due
TO the rise in the month s deliveries
and exports to los .062 600 pounds, com
pared with only 74,5+6,6l4 pounds in
February and little over 90,00O,0OO
pounds in January.
This was regarded as proof of sub
stantial betterment in the demand for
refined copper. Orders for structural
steel also continued on large scale.
The money situation did not receive !
much attention, although call money !
went to 2l. per cent on Wednesday, |
thus exceeding the rate touched IN max
ing the April settlements
The stock market is not unmindful |
Of the present situation, and the pres
entation of the tariff bill TO the SEN
ate has brought to fresh attention the |
important points yet undecided in the |
readjustment of duties on imports.
