A Spirit in

The senator was cozy in one of the
secluded oriental corners of Mrs. AL.
den's large reception room. Beside him
seemed to float an Intangible, indefin.
able white mist. Was it a dream! or
was 1t reality? Dare he reach out his
hand to grasp it, or would it at his
contest touch softly melt away? Now
it seemed for the moment to be rest
ing lightly, breathlessly, a mass Of
gold, flush of pink, poised on Shout
ders, glistening - cleaning - which
seemed to rise from endless pillows Of
misty white.
Mrs. Hardy had introduced them
only few moments before, and had
fumbled her name. Mrs. Hardy al
ways fumbled names. He wondered
what it was. Indeed, so eager had be-
been to learn, that when he found
himself cornered with the young wom-
an, he was quite calm in face of such
calamity. The Senator avoided young
creatures usually, but this one was
different from all the rest. Already

HAD AUDIENCE OF AUTHORS.
College Professor Had Forgotten He
Was In Indiana.

A college professor had been invited
to deliver his lecture on Highways
and Byways Of Literature" at a little
town in Indiana-the state that pro-
duced George AIDE and James Whit
comb Riley among other favorites.
The eventful evening came; and as
the lecturer gazed upon the row upon
row of earnest, eager faces before him
breathlessly waiting for his message,
a happy thought struck him, and, STEP
ping to the front of the platform, he
said:
LAS this is to be purely literary
lecture it seems fitting that practition-
ers Of the glorious art of writing, if
any are present, should receive due
recognition and honor, and before |
begin my discourse I wish to extend q
cordial invitation to any author who
may happen to be in the house to
please come forward and take a seat
on the platform with the chairman "
In the frantic rush that ensued the
three front rows of seats were upset
and demolished, four women tainted
and had to be carried out, half dozen
derby hats were crushed to pulp, three
men received black eyes, several
others had their coats ripped up the
back, and the reading stand was top
pied over with a crash. When the
dust had settled down so that it was
possible to see across the hall once
more one man alone remained seated
in the auditorium. The rest were on
the stage.
The astonished lecturer gazed for q
moment at the deserted man in front
of him, and then, the humorous side
of the affair appealing to him, he
smiled indulgently down upon the
solitary occupant of the auditorium
and said:
II forgot that this was Indiana. Per.
haps you did not understand my invi
tation'
"Hey? What's that?" demanded the
man, holding trumpet to his ear and
leaning forward with look Of
strained inquiry on his face.
81 say, perhaps you did not under.
stand the invitation" repeated the
lecturer. "Th:s being discourse on
literature, any author who CHANGED to
be present was requested to come for.
ward and take a seat on the platform
with the chairman"
"Oh, all right; I'm coming! Didn't
hear you the first time" apologized the
deaf man, and he, too, rose to his feet
and started briskly for the PLATFORM

Effects ofHEriendship.

The three tcronies at the summer
garden had dined together for years.
Then one night one of them passed
the other two, went way back, and sat
down at q table by himself.

"Just little quarrel" explained her

they were chatting and laughing,
"gossiping," smiled the Senator to
himself, like two old women" He
couldn't remember that he had ever
been guilty of such conduct before.
They discussed each woman in turn,
as they peeped at them from behind
the curtain, where they sat- Mrs.
Alden's gown, Mrs. Bradway's hair,
Mrs. Browns jewels. Those jewels,
she said, were worth an enormous
sum.
How much?" asked the practical
Senator.
She breathed, almost reverently, a
fabulous sum.
How would you feel with all that
on you?"
"Um-um," came the ecstatic an
swer through closed lips.
He turned and looked at her, slowly
shaking his head.
"No, never, that would make you,
then, little like the rest of them

Ihey were peeplng again.
IT wonder where the authoress, Miss
Milford, is? I hold the evening in
dread because of her."
"Why?" she asked.

corner and bore us to death, with
ethics, philosophy and what not-they
want the inside working of this and
that-you wouldn't understand
they're great nuisance" he sighed.
A CLEAN of seriousness came into
the heavily Hdded, blue eyes.
1T seems" she said, slowly, "as if
men like you, and others, who are in
the midst of this great life, would free
ly give little of their knowledge to
a woman, who cannot learn these
things, save through the experience of
Others"
"But why do women bother with
such things? Why can't they all be
sweet and gay? Why" exclaimed,
II have had more genuine pleasure

IMAM l ever naQ In all my lie talking

"Then you think a woman's mind
ought not to rise above the ruffle of her
petticoat?"
He made no answer and she
went on.

spinster, is she old?"

.NEWYORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Market is Carried Vigorously and
Quite Complementary Upward.
SHORTS ARE DRIVEN TO COVER
Termination of OutEo of Gold and
Prospective Return of Il. II.
Hartman Are Factors in
IA situation.

NEW YORK. March N.-The latent
forces which have been gathering In the
stock market issued more consnicuously
today and carried vigorously and quite
comprehensively upwards. There was no
conspicuous change in the news to account
for the fresh upward Impetus, but the con-
slant manlfestatlon Of indifference to I'm
favorable news made a growing impression
on speculative sentiment and encouraged
the professional element to embark on
holder operations for an advance.
The days market was ascribed still to
professional Initiative In large parts, but
operations were conducted with much
greater freedom. The continued scarcity
Of stocks made the upward movement easy
and It gained force as II proceeded, the
driving In of belated shorts conducting
much to the more volatile stages OF the
first affected, but the higher grade specu-
lative favorites came into the movement
and the whole market broadened out ma
terially after the hesitation was overcome.
The prospect OF a coming period OF world
wide ease Of money is a factor In the situ-
alton which is counted upon to stimulate
speculation. With the completion of the
coming April 1 settlements the London
market looks for a notable relaxation in
the ~itnerost rats and a probable reduc-
ton in the official discount rate of the
from New York seems to have terminated
and New York borrowers find II possible
to secure funds to advantage in foreign
markets The temporary slight hardening
OF money rates IN New York also has
given place to renewed easing tendency.
Speculative operators were Inclined TO
make much of the reported early return
of F. II. Hartman to the financial district
as a presage OF active steps in various
enterprises in contemplation for the rrop-
critics connected with his name. The pres
ence in his company of President Louis
Hill of the Great Northern added to the
speculative impression made by reports of
his movements. The half monthly decrease
OF S,5o7 in the number OF idle freight
cars reported and a helpful factor In the
days advance. The rise continued with
increasing animation and buoNancy up
to the very end of the day. There was
some discrepancy in the decrease In the
daily average Of loans reported by the
banks and in the actual increase In that
item on Friday of over 100000. The
trust company statement also showed a
liberal expansion OF credits. The forces
at work for REFRESHMENTS OF the money
