Mr.. Hogue was an expert timer by

The correct name for your trouble is

The most beautiful thing about a
mother is the unselfishness and selfsacri-
flee that she constantly shows from the
very moment she brings her little child
into the world. For the sake of her
children and as the outflow of her love
she is ever ready to deny herself, to
dispense with what would give her
satisfaction, aid to make sacrifices in
Vulnerable. These qualities which glorify
motherhood should awaken such love
and gratitude on the part of the chill
dren that they will ever seek to tighten
her toll and fill her days with gladness
by their thoughtful tenderness, rev.
erence and help.

Yankees Believe They Have Phenom
in Recruit from Virginia League.

New York. Jan. 29.-In young Mr..
Quinn 1t really looks as though George
Stallings Of the Yankees has secured a
live one. He did the f1inging stunt for
Richmond in the Virginia league last
season, and was a scream. He twirled
sixteen games, and didn't lose one of
them.
Inasmuch as Quinn is to become a
full-fledged Yankee, his record is worth
more than passing noticeI In the six
teen battles he performed he allowed
but 1Q2 sgnites, or IL swats to a
game. He issued only 20 transportation
tickets tC the initial bag, and two wild
heaves consisted of the wrong side of
his record. And he felded his position
like veteran, having but two errors
charged against him during the entire
season.
In addition to such yeoman service
in the pit, he slammed the old horse
hide for ~ bingles, and came home
with eight tallies. He also executed
four pretty sacrifice hits in his 16 bat
ties. his shifting average being .294

the Cleveland club he was turned over
to Macon as ground rent for the Lar

PAGERS BRILLIANT CAREER.
The Eel Holder of Record for Mile on
Ice Track-Bought as YearIing for
5000, HE Won Over $4,000 for His
Owner in 1908.

The record performance of The Eel,
2.02 IA, on the ice at Ottawa, Thurs
day. was expected by all who have in
terested themselves in the game pac-
ers work. He paced the mile in
Ell IL over the ice track, clipping the
record by three seconds. Just about a
year ago he came into prominence by
winning a big race at Ottawa. He be-
gan his career on the dirt track at
Terre Haute last July in race with
the wonderful Minor Heir. The Eel
won the second and third heats, the
race going to the son of Heir at Law
in 2.01 12, 2.01, EOS IL, EOS and 2.07.
During the season The Eel won ten
races and cleaned up $1S,400 for his
owner, r. w. Endricken of Tavistock,
Ont.
The Eel was sired by Gambolier.
2.22 IL, by Gambetta Wiykes, 2.19 Ia.
His dam is Belle Bidwell, second dam
Belle Boyd. Eendricken bought him as
a yearling for 5000 from liveryman at
Deerfeld. Mich, on the advice of Dam
ny McEwen, his excellent driver. He
was brought to Tavistock, Ont, by En-
dricken, being broken as year old
to buggy. and didNall the marketing
and buggy riding for the family for a
year. In the spring of 1906, after be-
ing bred to about 20 Mares he was

ed slowly to a road cart. and on June
20, after doing slow miles, was hitch
ed up to a sulky for the first time. Nc
Even drove the gray stallion in 2.30 in
easy fashion. Up to that date The
Eel was trained without hobbies, but
one day he made a break and on they
went, but he never needed them.
After two more weeks training he
was shipped to the grand circuit mile
tracks and with two months more
training paced the fifth mile of his trial
workout in 2.06 IA at Syracuse, Sep
teInber 4, 1906. In the spring of 1907,
after being bred to 30 mares, he was
sent to McEwen at London to be train
ed for another year. Again in Septem-
Der at Syracuse he was given his trial
and paced the fourth mile of his work.
out on a slow track in 2.0A IA. What
he did the past season is well known.
The Eel is now in his seventh year.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LATE RALLY POORLY HELD.
Character of the Market is Still Mar
row and Professional.

New York. Jan. 29.-The narrow pro-
fessional dimensions of the current
stock market were demonstrated once
more today in the limitation of the
price movement. The short interest
built up in the course of yesterdays
sharp decline and its moderate extern
sion early today was sufficient to bring
about rally before the day was over,
which was, however, paarly held. The
characer of the market was not great
ly changed. The ralIying tendency
from any considerable decline testifies
TO the timidity of the bears and the
difficulty of forcing important Hquida-
ton in the existing plentitude of the
supply Of money. This abundance of
money, however, seems without slim
ulating effect on the demand for Sc
curltles, and the market falls into a
semi-stagnant condition after the
needs of the shorts are supplied. The
market today lacked besides the re-
cent customary addition to the list of
rumors on railroad deals. The insist
ent assertions Of imminent dividend
action on Brooklyn Transit met with
another disappointment in the non
action Of the directors at the meeting
during the day. Some dissatisfaction
was felt and reflected in the modifca-
ton of values over the reconam enda-
ton Of the senate judiciary committee

changes in the Sherman antitrust law
and with the announcement of the
coming oral examination of stock ex
