GUARDS ROYAL JEWELS

After a long and active service in the British
army, the quiet of the Tower Of London will
probably be welcome to Gen. Sir Robert Cunliffe
Low who has just been appointed keeper of the
jewel house in that venerable and historical pile
Few general officers in the army have more
varied and brilliant record of services and few
can look back on so many exciting moments as
Sir Robert has gone through in the course of his
career.
Receiving his first commission in the Bengal
cavalry in 1854, he served throughout the Indian
mutiny and was present at the sieges of Delhi
and Lucknow. After that he took part in several
minor wars in different parts of India, earned
medals, was mentioned in dispatches, and re-
ceived the thanks of the Indian government on

1t was plain from the character of the
market on the Consolidated Exchange that
the Rock Island episode had exerted a
ness was professional to a very large ex-
tent, with commission houses reporting
that their customers had been rendered
nervous by the Rock Island exploit. and.
for the present, appeared disinclined to op-
crate extensively. This nervousness &C
counted for moderate liquidation from COM
mission houses at times during the day.
Floor trading sentiment generally inclined
to bearishness. with stocks offered rather
freely from professional sources I'm the
early dealings. Covering of shorts near the
close, however, impaired relative firmness
to the Consolidated market compared with
final prices on the Stock Exchange The
market was fairly broad in respect to the
number of different stocks that changed

what Won the Girl.

1t was in a subway train. On the
lap Of woman, apparently her moth
er, sat a girl of some eighteen months.
Next to them was another mother with
her two-year-old son. Each woman
petted the others child, and the boy
liked the attention and laughed and
pranced. The girl maintained q
straight face. She did not fret, nor
apparently did she want to cry, but if
the word can be used in the case of
one so young she was bored. The
petting of her own mother and of the
other woman clearly had no effect.
Then the little boy entered the lists.
Edging up to the child, he put his arms
around her neck and said, II love 'oor'
Then it was that there broke over the
baby's face the first smile that had ap-
peared since the long subway ride
from Harlem began. And as for the
mothers, the usual and natural COM
ments as to prescience followed.-New
York Tribune.
