And the chilly days will come
In no time at all.

And the morning frost,
And another year will be
In the discard tossed.

Moves along the line.
Autumn leaves will soon be shown
In the fall design.
Yellow pumpkins soon will cause

In tho sunshine gay,
Thinking no! that evil times
Now are on the way.
Thinking not of chilly morns
Slightly in advance,
When small comfort we could take
In our ice cream pants.

Such a little while,
Warming US a few short weeks
With its CHEEKY smile.
When at last its time has come,
Then 1t hunts its hole.
And we have to hustle out
For load OF coal.

ali ascents of Mount Hood She has
far surpassed the climbing records of
other women who have gone up the
mountain, and only three men have
beaten her speed, both on the climb
and on the descent. With three
friends and a guide, she reached the
snow line in the afternoon. There part
of the night~was spent, and in a few
hours the party began to go through
the five miles of snow to the summit
The start was made at 30 a. M and
the crest was reached at noon. Here
an hour was spent and then all the
way down the mountain, and on to a
hotel, reached at II p. m giving A

A dance was in progress in the hotel,

Increasing Dividends.

Tables compiled by the New York
Journal OF Commerce show hat div
idend and interest payments in New
York for July will be greater by $13,-
O93,S65 than in July last year and
that the total disbursements will be
~$1S7,623,243. As most OF the rail-
ways and great industrial companies
pay their dividends at New York this
showing fairly embraces the increased
prosperity Of the entire country. The
compilation shows hat twenty indus
trial, twelve railroad and eight mining
corporations have either increased
dividends, resumed payments or are
paying their first dividend, The in
dustrials lead in volume of increase
and the railroads follow closely. An
increase OF $6,OOO.OOO in interest
payments represents returns on addi-
tional Investments since July one year
ago.
Assuming that these figures are
fairly accurate. no better proof could
be furnished of the rising tide of bust
ness activity. Railroads have recently
ordered $4,000 new cars and bids
have been asked or 10000 more,
Steel rail and structural steel mills

Europe boarding Gold.

What does Europe want with all
the gold it is collecting is a question
which our financiers are unable to
answer satisfactorily. Since the first
of the year the United States has ex-
ported $60,OO0,0OO in gold. most of
which went to Europe. South Africa
is producing the largest amount Of
gold in it's history and the big banks
of Europe are absorbing it as rapidly
as it comes
On the surface there is nc eason
for this great boarding of gold. There
is no great financial demand in sight
or in prospect, so far as the un~initiated
can see, yet the great banking insti-
tutions Of Europe have $500, 900. 900
more in gold than they held M year
ago. The only plausible explanation
is the Andercurrent of uncertainty
caused by the constant friction be-
tween the great powers. While no
delicate International questions are
pending, the unceasing preparations
lot war are IdhSn " POAhI lhONlIduly
to a clash.
With such a state Of preparedness,
trouble at any time would not be
wholly unexpected ahd the money
lords are thought to be simply follow
ing the example of the war lords
getting ready for the day. The ma
ton caught without a fat war chest
would be almost as helpless as the
one without an efficient fighting force.
The explanation is not pleasing, but
1t is about the only plausible one
which hnanciers are able to give OF
the growing greed abroad for accu-
mulating gold.
