The Transition in Illinois from Brit
Ism 10 American Government" DR.. Rob
ert Livingston Schuyler has treated of
the events which resulted in the aban-
donment by Great Britain of the ter
ritory which has since been developed
into the Great Middle West. What
would nave happened had England
retained her grip upon it is an inter-
esting subject for speculation; why
and how she did not is the subject of
this attractive book.
What was the best selling book fifty
years ago? In these days of record
breaking sales, and these sales almost
exclusively among novels, the answer
to this question involves contrast In
1855. according to documents on file
in the Harper publishing house, Ed
ward Everett wrote to Lord Macaulay
of the latter'S History of England, "
mo book has ever had such sale in
the United States except the Bible and
two or three school books
Jason Justus Miles Forman's
forthcoming novel which the Harpers
are to publish this month, promises "a
mans man" for hero, which is the
kind of man that woman are said to
like best. The relations of the hero
to his best friend are such that the
novel is said to afford as convincing
a story Of mems friendship. as of wo-
mans love. Whether OF not one of the
heroines is tickle the reader must de-
eide for himself: fortunately there
are two: and the other, being Irish,
would have to be true-hearted or shat
ter every Celtic memory.
Anne Warner, the author of I'm a
Mysterious Way writes from Oxford,
England, that she is coming home to
America this summer, and Will prob
ably visit Portage, n. Y, the place de-
picted in her book as Ledge. Some
friends of the author visited Portage
recently and called at the postoffice
to get a glimpse of the postmistress,
Mrs. Ray" who is one of the prin-
ciDal characters of the story. Said the
pOstrnistress: Did you know they d
written a book about this place and
I'm the leading character2 Yes, IN

where can you find any creases7 They
look like meal bags drawn over hitch

No wonder the ganin cry out to each

There was no more to be said on
Mrs. Bowser's part. He went down to
the kitchen and put a flatiron on the
stove, ana by the Tune ne nd0 changed
it was ready for him He had had no
experience as a presser, but he went
ahead with the greatest confidence AZ
ter he had pulled and hauled at the
trousers for 10 minutes to get the
'fbaggy'' out, he laid them on the table
and applied the hot iron to make the
creaseS. 1t so happened at this mo-
ment that a fight between cats began
in the back yard, and he left his iron
to rush out and annihiIate the dis
turbers. He was looking on and bet
ting his coin on a one-eared feline
when Mrs BOWSer called to him from
a window above:
Il smell burning cloth. You'd better
go in and see to your trousers"
It was time. Indeed, it was past
time. The hot iron had scorched and
charred and shriveled until little was
and buckles. Slowly and carefully Mr..
BoWser gathered up the remains
Slowly and with dignity he heaved the
still hot iron out of the back door and
went upstairs He paused moment
in the doorway to transfix Mrs. Bow
ser with a glare, and then he held up
the remnants and hoarsely whispered:
Woman. behold your work.

she replied but what have I to do
with it? You let them burn while you
were looking at the cats"

Price Movement is Irregular, with
Sharp Break at Close.
EARLY MARKET Is ARTIFICIAL
Many Biz sales of Reading Ar,
Viewed with suspIciOn-steeI
and Union PacIhc Arc Both
Under Pressure,

NEW YORK, June The speculative
appetite for stocks had lost some OF its
zest today, to judge by the Irregular and
break at The last. There was a moderate
incurston OF new orders to buy, from the.
outside world, such as is looked for, es-
peolRlly on Monday morning, during the
progress OF a speculative campaign, and
prices, as usual, In the circumstances, were
opened as high as possible, with oensVo-
lent intent toward those having stocks to
sell, rather than towards the newly at
traoted buyers. The new buying In tact,
was on a moderate scale. Reading was
selected as the principal medium for the
supporting operations of the bull party.
The manner In which the blocks OF thous-
ands of shares Of that. stock were thrown
about, from one hand TO another, gave
an artificial appearance to the dealings
which suggested suspicious Of the motives
BY inverted rumors Of an Intended in
crease in the dividend on the stock. Ru-
mors Of coming dividend increases played a
prominent part IN the show OF strength
OF special stocks. This was In marked con-
trast with the severe reaction in the price
Of st. Louis Southwestern preferred, which
got It's dividend increase last week, leaV-
Ing nothing more to be looked for as ma
terial for speculative excitement
Another group Of stocks moved in re-
Spouse to intimations that plans were
ripenlng for reorganizatton OF company
finances, this rutnor serving wabash well
b6Idls ssFG fhs r sSGoG 81 t here market .Tss than proved
to be the case in the sessions of Friday and
Saturday last week, This was partly due
to the process OF realizing having shifted
to stocks In the movements which are Of
greater influence on speculative sentiment.
United States Steel and Union Pacific were
both under pressure of this kind and the
effect OF this on the general speculative
tone was rather formidable. From the
southwest came reports that demand for
currency was beginning to stir, In pre-
parations for moving the coming crops:
The hardening Of discount rates abroad
is beginning to prove a perceptible drag on
movements. New York bankers are not
satisfied that the outward movement Of
gold from New York Is over. An advance
IN the price OF copper metal failed to bene-
fit the copper industrials. The bears oper-
ated timidly, In fear OF the demonstrated
power OF the bull leadership, and II was
not until the end OF the day that they
attacked the market with any GOODNESS
half hour
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, SI736,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

SHEEP AND LAMBS-It was a slow
lheless market this morning and the un-
usually backward demand afforded buyers
an opportunity to force small declines. Re
eeipts, however, were moderate and this
feature made a beariah raid Of any con-
sequence out CT the question. A few lots
OF killing stuff sold at comparatively steady
prices, but the scarcity Of supplies last
week makes It extremely. difficult to draw
a true comparison OF values. The general
market this morning Is quotabie at steady
TO a dime lower than last week.
The bulk OF arrivals today were Califor-
MIA muttons, mostly spring lambs. There
have been no California sheep on the mar
ket this year until today and OF course
the absence OF this class Of stuff leaves
the market level open to question. The best
California spring lambs sold at s8.75 with
another band at S.&. Three loads Of Cal
tfornia Nethers were weighed up at 500
Practically everything on sale consisted OF
killers, only one car of common feeding
lambs reported In. The inquiry for feeders
was even more backward than for killing
stuff and II was well along In the morn
ing before they were disposed Of.

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle we're small
this morning. 100 cars hoing reported in,
as against lol cars last week and lit cars
two weeks ago. ,-
With moderate offerings OF beef steers
ana with rather encouraging advices from
other points, good kinds Of heavy and light
cattle sold 5Q1Oc higher h last week,
with common, medium weight and rough
heavy cattle showing but little change.
While the market was not overly active,
there was q fair movement, and pretty
much everything was disposed OF In fair
season In the morning.
Cows and heiters were rather slow but
steady at last weeks decline, The heavy
break In common and inferior grades of
COW stuff at this point last week has
made buyers very weak on cattle of that
description.
There was quite a bunch OF stockers and
feeders In the yards this morning in fact
more cattle of that description than have
been seen bore In two or three weeks. AS
q result OF the more liberal receipts, the
marker was generally Zoe and in some
cases possibly as. much as, 15c lower than
last week. LIT will be remembered, how
ever that the market for some time back
on feeders has been unreasonably high,
owing to the fact that there have been 50
few coming.
