A TRUE FRIEND.

During the French Revolution a
very good man was thrown into pris-
on and condemned to die. This man
had a dog, water spaniel, who was
most faithful to the man while he was
at home, and when the man left his
home to go to prison the dog fol-
lowed. OF course, he was refused ad.
mittance, so he went to neighbor's
house, where he boarded and lodged,
but his time was spent Sitting in
front of the prison door.
His faithful watch at length won
over the jailer, who allowed him to
enter the dark place and enjoy an
hour with his master. After that he
was allowed this hours pleasure until
the day the man was led to execution.
The mans only true friend. the dog,
walked to the burial place and never
rested until he saw the man laid
away and then he laid himself over
the grave, where he remained for
three days.
The neighbor at whose house the
animal sought lodging enticed him
home after the third day of watch
and made him eat, but the dog escap-
ed an hour later and again sought the
burial place. Three months passed.
Each day the dog went to the neigh
boris for food, and then back to his
place of watch, but each day he was

sKYLARKs.


John Burroughs relates that Il
number of years ago friend in Eng
land sent him score of skylarks In
cage. He gave them their liberty
in a field near where he lived. They
drifted away, and he never heard or
saw them again. But one Sunday a
Scotchman from a neighboring city
called on him and declared, with visi.
BILE excitement, that on his way along
the road he had heard skylark. He
was not dreaming, he knew it was a
skylark, though he had not heard
one since he had left the banks of
the Doom, quarter of a century or
more before. The song had given him
infinitely more, pleasure than it would
have given to the naturalist himself.
Many years ago some skylarks were
liberated on Long Island. and they
became established there, and may
now occasionally be heard in certain
localities. One summer day a lover OF

the Knights of Pythias, which have
only two lodges in Brooklyn, namely,
Elcelsior and Ben Hur. These bodies
belong to the Eastern and Western

have had rather trying time to main

unfortunate, however. that the two
warning factions have not been able
to unite, for it would then serve to
attract new members. So long as the
quarrel continues, men will hesitate

is duly represented.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 5.-Unless some

that being that the two leagues be
made a third party to the national
agreement and be given representation

quest was hardly presented before it
was emphatically denied and the East

this request, waived the point. and it
looked as though the warning factions
among the minor leagues had come to
a definite understanding.

WHOLE LIST WEEK.
Due to Collapse of Consolidated Gas
Money Market Rapidly Growing Eas-
Ter.

New York, Jan. 5.-The professional
view OF the weakness which developed
| In the stock market today was that it
was largely duR to the sympathetic eff
feet Of the collapse in Consolidated
Gas, which proceeded today only less
violently than yesterday The period
| OF greatest weakness in Consolidated
Gas today. however, was while the
general list was making a sturdy stand
against the reaction and was showing
degree of positive strength in some
quarters. The action Of the market
warranted the implication that the
support was in the interest of facili-
tating a process of liquidation and the
pursuit of this purpose had the later
effect of weakening the whole list. The
unexpected adverse decision in the
Consolidated Gas suit yesterday IN
doubtedly took the interests most
largely committed to the long side of
the market unawares and interfered
with their plans. Evidence more or
less reliable especially that growing
out of the movement OF the market
itself, has kept clear the fact that eff
fective support for prices has been Of
fered for months past in connection
with the accumulation Of securities
that was going on. The consensus of
opinion has been strong that the peri
cd Of renewed ease in the money mar
ket after the turn of the year would
facilitate a revival of speculative ac-
tivity and ,conduce to still higher
prices for stocks. The money market
is rapidly growing easier, but so many
speculative holdings of stocks appar-
emily have been waiting FOR this op-
portunity to realize profits that the
selling outweighs the demand. The
enective selling was withheld for a
time early today while measures were
taken to -~2ady the market but it's re-
newal after the steadying of prices had
been attained had a strong influence on
speculative sentiment and discouraged
hopes Of present efficient leadership of
a campaign for further advance The
Consolidated Gas decision undoubted-
ly has had a bad effect on the specula-
tive confidence engendered by the as
sumption that government activities
were to move in further in favor of the
corporations. The refusal Of the SUI
preme court to entertain the govern
ment's appeal to reopen the Standard
Oil fine decision was industriouslv
cited 10 offset the effect Of the gas
case. but its effect was marred bv the
announcement of the attorney generals
