A REALISTIC ENDING

The melancholy days are come, the saddest OF
the year,
o. wailing winds. and naked woods and
meadows brown and sere
Heaped in the hollows Of the grove, tho
autumn leaves lie dead
They rustic TO the eddying gust, and TO tho
rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are down, and from
the shrub the jay
Yells: Hi, there! You confounded city fel-
lers! Eff you think you kin go cavortin' ali
over my farm arter game thout sayin' nothin'
to me about it, you've got another think
coming, by Heck Now, you hike, er I'll
stick a load o bird shot into ye! Git"

A JUDGE of Generals

A Philadelphian was praising the
late Calvin Wells.
HAD you known Mr.. Wells" he
said, you'd have easily understood
his success as a manufacturer and as
a journalist. A better, quicker judge
of men never existed.
u remember once. at a dinner in
Pittsburg during the Boer war, in
British visitor praised the valor of the
British troops. Inasmuch as the Beers
were having everything their own way
at that time, this made US all smile.
"Well. the Briton began to praise
one of Gen. Buffers retreats.
Butler he said, was splendid.
He retired without losing a man or
flag or a gum

RAINS CAST GLOOM
OVER LOCAL MARKET
TRADING DIMINISHES AND
RECEIPTS FALL OFF
Poor Eastern Storage Eggs Reduce
the Demand for Superior Stock.
Winter Tomato Outlook
Is Encouraging

Rainy weather cast a gloom over the Los
Angeles market yesterday and business sagged
all along the line.
Produce receipts were below normal with
tho exception of eggs, which were about
double the usual supply at this time Of year.
The buying price Of eggs was not changed
officially, but it is said some dealers are now
paying SOC a dozen.
A very poor grade of eastern storage eggs
was floating about. These eggs affected the
market for first class storage stock and caused
dissatisfaction among dealers.
Tomatoes held at 81 for the best, but
dropped TO zoe a lug box for inferior stock.
Tho general tone in tomatoes was firm and
prospects are good for marketing the winter
crop.
Onions, which scored 2Jc advance Tuesday,
held firm yesterday despite heavy receipts.
Fruit was slow and unchanged.
Apples were the best sellers. Grapes and
pears were In fair demand. No berries ar
rived.

ELEMENT
Satisfaction Over Presidents MESSAGE
Enhanced by No Likelihood
Of Radical Legis-
lation
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Prices of
stocks moved upward again today with
periods of interruption and hesitation.
a final reaction wiping out much of the
gains.
The opening rise brought in a con-
siderable volume of profit taking sales
from an element In the speculation
which has come to expect an alternat-
ing current in the price movement
from one day to another
The operations on a large scale in
United States Steel on a rising scale
had an important sentimental effect
on the general tone. The action of
that stock was not explained by any
news development, but the idea per-
slsts that the price is destined to rise
to par some time before Christmas.
Message Is Satisfactory
The buying of stocks was accom-
panied by professions of satisfaction
with the tone of the presidents mes
sage, which was called moredate and
conservative and as warranting ex-
pectation OF circumspect treatment of
the topics reserved for future special
messages
The feeling on the subject was en-
HANGED by advices from Washington
alleging likelihood of the suppression
of attempts at radical measures In
congress.
Published reports of the ripening Of
plans among railroad tranmen for a
concerted demand upon the railroads
for an advance in wages after the first
of the year were without apparent ef-
feet
Cotton Figures Interest
The census bureau figures on the
amount of cotton ginned to December
l were taken as having a widespread |
interest outside the actual cotton trade. !
The rise in the price of cotton to the |
highest price of the season was con-
sidered significant of the prevailing |
high level of prices in materials.
A contrary tendency was shown by |
the price OF copper, one of the few |
materials which has failed to share in |
the almost universal rise in prices |
The Western Union quarterly report of |
earnings proved unsatisfactory to some |
holders OF the stock and the reten- |
tlon Of the previous dividend rate |
seemed to bring some disappointment |
also. The fall in Amelgamated Cop
per was one influence in the sharp
reaction late in the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, S5,135,000. United States As
coupon declined Ia per cent on call.

Tie Wings to Trains

It looks as If we have reached the limit of
speed with our present type OF steam or electric
trains.
We have come to place where, the faster
want to go by rail the heavier we must make
our trains in order to gain balance and friction
for the drive wheels. In time we will reach a
place where the weight necessary for fast train
will make impossible the speed we seek.
The 18-hour trains between New York and
Chicago weigh 1.250,000 pounds each. They
carry rs passengers who weigh approximately
1880 pounds, thus the train weighs 100 times
more than its passengers This means that
seven and a half tons of STEEL wood, COAL water.
etc., are necessary to carry each passenger to
Chicago. Each passenger pays " cents pound
to get himself and his share of the train to
Chicago
If we reach a speed that is greater than our
speed Of today, the trains in which we ride will
appear far different to those that We now use.
This 10 because our speed seekers must find new
principles of rapid transportation. They must
enter new and unknown fields to find what they
desire.
AS It is now, the faster a train goes the more
It must weigh. What they seek is a principle
that will mean: the faster train goes the less
1t will weigh.
1t is not improbable that this can be accom-
plished by the use of the aeroplane. Even now
a great New York inventor is working on a
system which combines the aeroplane and the
trolley The trolley he plans, will furnish the
power that will drive the cars; aeraplanes above
each car will exert lifting power so that at a
speed of $50 miles hour, the will weigh
practically nothing, and the clamps that will
hold the trolley to the overhead rail must be very
strong
With our present trains the wear and tear
OF speed of $50 miles hour would break
the strongest rails With the aeroplane arrange
ment the weight on the rails would be very
small.
Our great inventions are not sudden. They
grow. Without ball bearings bicycles would have
been impossible. Bicycles brought about the in
vention of pneumatic tires, and without the pneu-
matte tires automobiles would have been an Inn
possibility.
With the advent Of the automobile came the
improvement of the gasoline motor. And with
out a perfect lightweight motor, aeroplanes
would have been impossible.
Today, thanks in part to the man who In
vented ball bearings, we have aeroplanes. Where
will the aeroplane lead us? The Wright brothers
say their machine will never be used to carry
freight.
But the principles they have discovered may
be applied to rapid transportation of large
numbers of human beings.

Never before has there been
such radical change In the meth
DDS of hair dressing as this
spring has seen. Becomingness is
considered, rather than fashion,
and women are realizing at last
the truth-that woman's browning
beauty is her hair-and il the
hair is well groomed and becom-
ingly dressed, we may be called
good looking whether we really
are or not.
The advent of the Grecian STYLES
in gowns have brought about the
beautiful methods of hair dressing
of the same period. The illustra-
ton shows a dainty garniture to
be worn with the low coiffure.
A broad band of heavy gold
ribbon edged with gold balls or
beads, crosses the hair above the
low coils, another crosses below in
