Further on, hidden in the coarse grass which the sea wind combed over it, he stumbled on sea fowls nest full of eggs, and was also by good luck able to kill one Of the birds with a well-aimed stone. Being a bit of a dandy, he carried silver match box, which had kept the matches dry, so he was able to light a fire of dry grass and little sticks, over which he cooked the seafowl. He roasted the eggs in the hot embers, and though of an oily flavor, they were very palatable to a hungry man. Salt and pepper would have been a great improvement to this Thanksg1v- ing dinner alone on rocky islet in the lonely Indian ocean, but the sauce of healthy appetite made up for their absence The next day, as the shipwrecked sailor was finishing the last of the roast eggs, P. & O. steamer sighted his signal of distress and sent boat to his rescue.

Connecticut avenue is one of the fashionable thoroughfares of the cap- 1tal city, and on Sundays and holidays the side walks are crowded with people, On Thanks giving day morning, if it is pleasant. one can get fairly adequate knowledge of the winter 1ashlons from stroll down the avenue. for on that day the women of society put on for the first time, their cold weather garb The Connecticut avenue parade" is a Washington institution
 Just about week after Thanksgiving con- gress opens. Most of the members stay at home for the holiday, and then comes the rush to the capital. The president halls Thanksgiy- ing day as one of rest from his message wri ting labor. A presidents message always is long and In some parts it is of necessity dull, for it must deal with things which confessed ly nave no live interest excepting to the statis- tcian. President Taft is not as fond of writing messages as was President Roosevelt, and it is entirely probable that there is real thanks giving in the present presidents heart over the fact that on one day he has ample excuse to drop his pen.
 There are great many golf clubs in the District Of Columbia. They play golf all win ter long in this latitude and President Taft never misses an opportunity to go out on the links. Thanksgiving afternoon every Washing. tonlan who can, and who knows how to play the game, starts for the club house. The pres ident is member of several golf clubs, but it may be of interest to the American people to know that he seldom plays on the grounds of the club which is considered the most fashion able and exclusive in the country's capital.

Thanksgiving of the World

Sixty years ago there was some thing called a world, in which some of us were alive. It was world of four or five continents of jarring interests; a world parted by three or four oceans If I wrote to my brother on the other side of the world I might expect an answer in six months. If in the region where he lived the water failed, or the winds did not blow, the poor people there lay down and died of famine. The barns of Ohio might be bursting, but the starving people had to die.
 But 50 years have changed all that. All that has been changed because God has worked with his children, and his children have worked with

 There are thousands and thousands of govern ment employees in Wash ington who came to the capital to work, from oth- CT sections of the coun- try. Every New England employe who can, leaves the city for the old home a day or two before the Thanksgiving h oliday. They will tell you in Bos- ton, that during the fall holiday season, all roads lead to that city, the great distributing point for New England. All the govern ment employees are given one month leave each year. Many of them try to so arrange things that the Thanksgiving holiday will be included in the vaca- t1on season. Those of them who cannot get away, and who in early life were taught to make much of Thanksgiving, get together in small con- panles on the holiday to dine, and they call the dinners family affairs"

and Declare Big Dividend to-
morrow.

NEW YORK, May 26.-For the pur-
pose of declaring a quarterly dividend
of $1,0S0,j0O and the probable election
of a new president, the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company, will hold
its regular meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria tomorrow 1t is probable that
George Wingfield will be elected to
the presidency of the company, to
succeed Senator George S. Nixon, who
transferred his principal mining inter
ests to Mr.. Wingfield sometime ago. AS
vice. president of the Consolidated
company Mr.. Wingfield has been iden-
titled with the active management of
the property to a much greater extent
than has Senator Nixon. His election
as president, therefore, will be only
the logical outcome of the new condi-
tons which makes Mr.. Wingfield by
far the largest individual shareholder
in the big corporation.

is NO EXPECTATION OF
REACTION SOON.
Many Stocks Are Selling at Exceed
ingIy High Figures, Says Henry
Clews in Weekly Report.

NEW YORK, May 26.-(Special. =
Confidence and activity have cons d.
erably improved of late in business
circles, and in spite of high values in
Wall street there is little or no ex-
pectation of any immediate serious re-
action. Many shares are now selling
at exceedingly high figures, and the
returns upon them as investments at
present figures appear SO small as to
impose decided check upon new buy
ing. Yet sellers appear to be few and
far between, since investors find it i'm
possible to place their money else
where at more profitable rates, and
they are naturally indisposed to less
en- their holdings upon so strong mar
ket.
Speculation continues upon a mod
crate scale. The public have not TAX
en- hold with any special freedom, al
give a fair appearance of activity. DC
casionally there are indications Of the
largest holders reducing their lines Of
surplus stocks, though this is being
quietly done and in a manner not to
weaken the general market London
and some of the Continental markets
have also shown a disposition to sell
Americans owing to the present high
level of prices and in anticipation of
pending security issues. This move
ment, however, has not yet become
general Before long our principal
market leaders will begin to absent
themselves on summer vacations, and
indications are that an unusual num-
Der of our wealthy operators will go
abroad during the coming summer. If
the general market does not soon ad-
vance to a still higher level it will have
to recede to one which will admit of a
new buying element. Much will de-
pend upon our next harvest. 1t is
yet too early to form any reliable ex-
pectations The outlook as to wheat
though not entirely satisfactory, is bet
ter than a month ago, and there is
hope of a fair yield at unusually profit

EVENING CHIT=CHAT
By Ruth Cameron

three gu .ckest ways to spread news:
Telephone. telegraph and tell Wo-
man.
Then there are the women who do
not tell secrets, but who do not know
how to keep them.
Keeping a secret means more than
not telling it. 1t means keeping it,
guarding it, protecting it.
The passage where Hamlet is max
ing his friends promise to kesp a secret
for him seems to me one Of the best
examples of Shakespeare's wonderful
knowledge of human nature.
Hamlet is not content to make them
promise not to tell his secret, but they
must also promise not to LET it out:
by pronouncing of some doubt
full phrase,
AS Well, well, we know or We
could if we would
Or IF we list to speak, or There
be an if they might
Or such ambiguous giving out"
If you are telling a very important
secret it wouldn't be so bad a thing
to get your conf1dante to take Hamlet's
oath
But there is one better way TO be
sure of its safety and that is not to
tell it at ALL
If the suffragettes would distribute
literature teaching women how to keep
secrets they would be doing much for
the business standing of their sex and
maybe bringing it nearer the polls.

Option e ection.

ANDERSON, Ind, May 26.-Stirring
scenes marked today's local option
election in Madison county, which will
in all probability result in adding this
county to the dry territory Of the
Hoosier state.
The campaign of the "drys' has
been spectacular in the extreme, an
organization of the leading business
and professional men of this city
joining with the county Local Option
league, the ministers and the women's
clubs in working for prohibition. The
"wets" also had thorough organi-
cation, but every indication points TO
their defeat in today's election.

WO1mem'S EXCHANGE.
The Early Spring Walking Hat.

Your first spring hat should be a
walking hat And it should be COM
posed of materials which the rain can
not hurt, for it is certain to get wet
before it has been worn a week
1t is made Of coarse light tan colored
straw, and the shape is a concession
to the desire to wear a large hat, while
still being in style and wearing a small
one. 1t is trimmed with a heavy band
of pale blue satin ribbon and a large
cluster of viOlets fastened to the right
side. Time was when you had to wear
your bunch of flowers on the left or be
CONSPICUOUS. Now you can wear them
to the right, left, on either side or on
all four points of the compass at once.
Hats that are almost entirely crown.
with only the slightest bit of ruffled
brim, are to come back to us. 1t is

of the old shapes are coming back,

CONFIDENCE HAS
IMPROVED SOME

, able prices. The acreage of corn
should be considerably ahead of last
year and as this crop is also bring
ing very profitable figures, the outlook
in this respect is also satisfactory. Re-
ports from the cotton belt are gener-
ally eacourag ing, and the strength of
that staple naturally makes producers
more optimistic. All things consid-
cred, the agricultural outlook is fairly
good, but not extravagantly so. The
promise thus far is not for large crops,
much as they are to be desired, but
owing to high prices the yield will GER
ia My be profitable, and our farmers
as class. are as certain as can be at
this stage of the season Of another
prosperous year.
Our industrial situation shows steady
Improvement Nearly all lines of in
dustry are beginning to feel the slim
illus of renewed confidence Railroads,
the largest buyers of materials, are
making heavy purchases of iron, steel,
cars, locomotives and other products,
partly to carry out deferred improve
ments and renewals and partly for new
extensions, as we'll as to meet a now
growing increase of traffic Gross and
net returns plainly show that our rail-
roads are once more enjoying normal
conditions. Building and real estate
circles are experiencing a pronounced
recovery. In mercantile circles there
is also more activity. Reports from
interior merchants are generally of a
favorable character; consumptive de-
! mands are increasing, and a general
spirit Of hopefulness prevails.
The only quarter in which a sign of
caution is needed is in the money mar
ket. Our banks are in sound condi-
ton; loanable funds are still album
,, dant and rates exceedingly easy. but
there are indications of firmer rates
in the not very distant future. Loans
have now risen to the highest point
on record, and reserves have steadily
declined, though still ample for all
needed safety. Nevertheless our bank
ing resources are being steadily weak
ened by the prolonged outflow of gold
and prospects of it's continuance This
week about 5000, 900 of gold have been
shipped to Paris, London or Buenos
Ayres, mainly owing to the secretly of
commercial bills, our foreign trade con-
ditions being far from satisfactory. In
April our imports of merchandise were
$122, 100000, or $34000,000 in excess of
the same month last year Our exports

Fashion Disapproves the Face Veil
for Brides.

Do you know if you want to be a
really up-to- date little bride you'll es-
chew the face veil And that's mighty
good thing. After all, the face veil is a
real relic of the time you were carried
off into capacity by the strong arm It's
Il symbol of the age of slavery of Wom-
en-, and you want to get as far away
as possible from that age, don't you ?
You see the Turkish women wear that
face veil in its almost extreme form
even now. It's the same thing, really
So this is a time when fashion and
progress really harmonic. OF course,
you mayn't care for such a trif1e as
progress where so important a thing
as marriage is concerned, but, at any
rate, just to be fashionable, leave off
theiface veil.
The bride should be a thing of
beauty. She ought to be at her beauti-
fullest on the wedding day Now it
is a fact that veil can be either a
beantifier or an uglifier. Therefore it
behooves her to study well her style
the lines of her face and all the kttle
points that make for loneliness before
she fixes upon just how her veil shall
be adjusted.
The lace veil has an arrangement all
its own. SO have the net and tulle
variety. The bride must study what is
most becoming. For instance she may
wear the lace coiled in a graceful sort
Of cap. One bride this season, a very
fashionable one, too, has her filmy bit

are so many beautiful ways you car

many ways as there are of making g

last year. In other words, the excess
of exports last month, while below
$4,000, 900, compares with an excess in
the same month of 1908 amounting to
almost $46,0OO,0O0. Such an adverse
reaction as this in our foreign trade
must inevitably have an important ef-
fleet upon the gold movement; and
should Europe renew selling our Sc
curities it is evident that we must face
with equanimity further diminution of
our gold supplies, especially should we
have a poor harvest. Fortunately our
stock of gold s redundant, yet it should
not be depleted too rapidly The only
corrective in sight is frmer money
rates at home, something which our
prudent bankers, earnestly desire. and
something which a continuance of
present conditions is likely to soon
bring about Should Europe absorb
our pending security issues with any
freedom that would of course check
gold exports; but prices will have to be
more attractive to the foreign buyer
than now. The prospect of further
gold shipments has been somewhat de-
ferred by liberal sales of ninety-d day
bills in London. Our finance bills,
however, are not very popular in Lon
don, and there is a noticeable tendency
there to discriminate against them.
The tariff situation excites little in
terest in business affairs. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that no important
downward revision is to be expected.
How far the attempted advances Il the
schedules will be realized remains to
be seen Present indications point to
success of the "stand-patters," and if
the present fruitless opposition to the
Aldrich domination abates it is posi-
BILE that this troublesome question will
be settled earlier than at one time
feared, possibly not later than July.

OMAHA, May 26.-Despite the fail

bandits who robbed the Overland Linz
tied on the Union Pacific, Saturday
night, Chief Canady, of the roads de-
tective force, declared today that the
fugitives cannot elude the sleuths
much longer.
1--WE will land them in the peniten-
tiary or in the cemetery" Canady said
"Wei will follow them around the
world if necessary"
While it is impossible to accurate
ly estimate the amount of loot, it is be-
lieved to have reached $125,000 1t is
believed the hold-up plans were laid
in Reno, for when the bandits entered
the mail car they Immediately de-
manded the Reno pouch This leads to
a theory that a former employee of the
postal service is involved.
