Miss MiIburn had finished her

out to visit Mrs Isaiah Langin, whose
home was some three miles distant.
The road that Miss Milburn trav.

the reputation of being the haunt of
bears, and Miss Milburn was keeping
a sharp lookout for those animals
when suddenly a sound resembling
the low OF a COW broke upon her ears.
The startled woman, thinking dis,

OUTLOOK is BETTER
Although Statistics of Actual Trans
actions Do Not Indicate So-Foot-
wear Orders Increase.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade says:
The industrial and mercantile out
look is better than statistics of actual
transactions indicate. The tone of the
financial markets is strong in spite Of
the recent advance in foreign discount
rates. The iron and steel trade seems
brighter in spite of the unsatisfactory
demand for pig iron. There is, how
ever, a large consumption of wire and
a better demand for structural prod
ucts.
The dry goods trade improves, al
though curtailment of cotton produc-
tion is still practiced, and the read.
justment made necessary by the high
price of raw material continues, the
government report during the week
indicating moderate and late crop.
Woolen and worsted goods are in bet
ter demand. The cotton goods trade
seems encouraging, the demand indi-
eating an enormous world cousump-
tion.
Orders for footwear increase slight
ly, but business is far from normal.
Sole leather is in good demand, sales
of lightweight cowhide union sole
having been made at one cent advance.
All kinds of upper feathers for shoes
are neglected. The hide markets are
weaker, with the exception of South
American dry hides, common varieties,
which are very strong

There have never been lacking insinuations
that the real reason for the admiral's reticence
arose from his desire to hide certain things which
had been said touching his parentage. 1t was
commonly reported at the time that John Paul

thrifty Scotch gardener at Arbgland on the Sol

upon whose estate Gardener Paul delved. Care
full inquiry has dsproved the scandal. Jennie
Macduff, the mother of the naval hero and the
wife of Gardener Paul, was a woman of charac-
ter, possessed in full measure OF the homely do
mestic virtues
It must be said here that the American ad-
miral added the name Jones to his family name
of Paul at the time when he first made applica-
ton for commission in the American navy Why
the name was added, though speculation has been
rife for more than century no one to this day
knows. The boy Paul, the youngest of five sons,
was born in little cottage standing In glade

apprenticed to ship merchant at White Haven.

The future admral's first voyage took him
to the Rappahannock river of America. Twice
or three times the trip was repeated, and finally.
owing to the death of his master, the apprentice
was released from his engagement at the age
of sixteen. An elder brother had settled on the
banks of the American river, and with him the
boy lived and studied for some time. He again

SAID BY THE YOUNGSTERS
Some Bright Remarks Worth Pre-.
serving, That Have Fallen From
Childish Lips.

A little girl, after listening to the
hymn, 'In heaven there stands an
ever open door," remarked that there
must be two heavens, "'cause grand
mad never had any open door where
she is" And a dear little country
laddie, visiting a city Sunday school
and hearing about the many man
sions" of the better land, later ex-
plained that they had been studying
all about Paradise Flats"
Ecclesiastical modes and matters
frequently are puzzling to the little
ones. A small Chicago citizen was ta-
ken to fine church, where the music,
windows, furnishings, and all acces-
sories were as impressive as the build
ing. The minister, living up to his
enviable reputation as an orator, in
dulged in brilliant rhetorical flight
'T know" he declared, who gilds
the sun and silVers the stars and
paints the flowers and tints the sky
and lends to the rivers their beauty,
to the ocean its glory, to the skies
their perfect light" and so on through
long and effective periods. Finally
came the interrogatory climax: who
is it, my friends, who performs all
these wonders? Who is 1t? Who?"
From the front pew where the baby
listener had been all eager attention
came a shrill, disappointed pipe:
You said you knew!"

the masthead of this vessel Jones, with his own
hands hoisted the first ensign ever shown on an
American man-of-war. 1t was the famed rattle
snake flag, with the motto Don't tread on me.
BY remarkable coincidence some time later on
the Ranger Jones displayed at the peak the hrst
bit of Stars and Stripes bunting ever flung to the
breeze OF an American manof-war. A little later
he had the honor of hearing fred in recognition
of the same flag the first salute which 1t ever
received from a foreign nation, the roar OF the
guns carrying with it the acknowledgment by
France Of the independence of the United Colo

John Paul Jones physically was not heroic
looking figure. He was only five feet tall and
of light weight, but in his fighting qualities his
ounces counted like other mems pounds His
face was grave and thoughtful and his eyes were
as sharp as his cutlass The feet in which Jones
sailed under Commodore Hopkins was miser-
able affair and Hopkins was the weakest Of COM
manders. Jones succeeded in inducing his supe-
ror to sail for Nassau, where under the direction
of the junior officer a vast amount of British
stores were seized. On the way back to the
United States the British frfgate Glasgow was
sighted, but it escaped the American feet owing
to the poor seamanship of Hopkins. court OF
inquiry was held, and It was determined that If
Jones suggestions had been carried out the Glas-
gov could have been captured or sunk Hopkins
felt disgraced and became bitter enemy Of his
subordinate.

Bradstreet's Review.


New York-Bradstreet review
says:
Improvement in tone rather than en-
largement in general is the notable
feature this week. AS a whole, while
demand is fairly good, buying con-
tinues cautious, there is little dispo-
sition to anticipate distant require
ments and trade lacks snap. Weather
conditions have not been entirely fav-
orable.
In addition, past free marketing of
crops and good crop results have help
ed sentiment, but political discussion
and price uncertainties have repressed
the demand. In one line, however,
that of cotton manufacturers, past cur
tailment, an absence of any apparent
weight of stocks and higher prices for
material, caused by official reports of
crop deterioration in September, have
made buyers more eager for some
lines of fabrics. Higher grade fabrics
note chief strength. Retail trade gen
orally awaits the stimulus of cold
weather, which, however, is quickly
following the widespread rain of the
past week. Collections, as whole,
are fair to good.
Iron and steel lines are reporting a
rather better feeling. A little en-.
largement of buying of pig iron is re-
ported. Mine products are active.
