y miranda al joven con sonrisa de salts
faccion.-Comprendi que estarfas aquf,
porque he visto tu caballo atado la reja.

suBscRlPTIoN---s5.oo PER ANNum
TO OUR GRADUATES

Graduated? Yes; nearly every ham,
let, village, town and city at this
commencement season of the in
situations of learning welcome home
those who have spent years in hard
study and with high honors have
graduated; and many are the hopes
and expectations centered in you
hopes that society will be elevated,
many immorals corrected, wrongs
righted and places of importance
better filled,
Do you ask where is your place?
The world is before you, and though
it may seem crowded, there are still
many wants that it does not adver-
tise, to avoid a rush of applicants,
but these wants exist, and are, in
deed, very pressing and very real,
and your compensation will be as
ample as you have brains, pluck
and energy to earn it.
The world wants graduates who
are men enough to search out these
places and make room for themselves;
it wants young women of sufficient
self-reliance to bear the disappoint-
ment of not securing the first posi-
ton for which they apply; most of
all it wants character and wisely
declines to accept college or school
diploma as conclusive evidence of
that.
Therefore, we silently whisper,
enter into your life work with right
motives, earnestness, zeal and
honesty of purpose, land thoroughness
that will satisfy yourself; and others
will be satisfied. Realizs the respon-
sibilities that have come to you, and
assume them in great humbleness,
and yet, in true manliness, and bear
in mind, by your fruits we shall be
known.

SUDDEN REVIVAL
OF SPECULA ton
Great Activity on New York
Stock Exchange.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC LEADS

Price Advances Nearly Six Points on
Rumors of an Intended Increase in
Dividends-other Hartman Stocks
and United States Steel Also Favor
ties, With the Whole Market Strong
and Active.
New York, June 4-Furious buying
of Southern Pacific railroad stock was
the leading feature of a sudden re-
vival of speculation in the stock mar.
ket. Interest was congested in the
Hartman Paciics and United States
Steel. A sudden upward rush of near.
~ six points in Southern Pacific had
an impressive effect on the whole
market. It was unexplained by any
news, but rumors of an intended in.
crease in dividends and of PROPOSE
ton to retire the preferred stock fig
ured in the gossip. The buying was
accredited to inside sources and
showed no evidence of coming from
q public demand. .a
United States Steel stock continued
it's remarkable advance and touched
new high levels, within a fraction Of
60 points. Preparations for the intro
duction of this stock to the Paris
bourse were held to account for it's
strength. The whole market was
strong and active, but to nothing like
the extent of these leading specula-
tive favorites
The market absorbed some very
heavy realizing sales during the final
hour and these caused reactions of 1
to 13s points, the latter in Reading
stock. With the selling adjusted
prices came up buoyantly again, with
buying on the largest scale of the day.
Southern Pacific sold at 100 and the
Copper fndustrials, Pennsylvania and
other new favorites sprang into sud-
den demand. The market ended the
day In a state of boiling animation
and with prices mounting.

FEDERAL LAW AS THE MODEL
Grocers Advocate Amending State
Pure Food Statutes.

Pure Food Statutes.
Detroit, Mich, June 4.-Uniformity
in pure food regulations with the ma
tional pure food law as the standard
was the gist of resolution presented
by the legislative committee Of the
National Wholesale Grocers' associa
tion in convention here.
The resolution strongly advocates
the amending of all state laws to con-
form to the national act now in force
the elimination of statutory stand
ards in the different states and the
substitution of a system of determin.
ing standards in conformity to the
methods now in use by the govern
ment. It is claimed that the present
difference in state regulation creates
confusion in interstate commerce and
makes it impossible to conduct such
business with any degree of safety.
