said when they reached the hotel.

He only nodded, and lifted his hat
as she went up the steps but instead
of going to eat, he sat down on a
bench outside, and waited for her
there, rejecting on the nature of his
new experience.
Like most successful men, he looked
on all theories as trash. good enough
to amuse clever oilers, but never to
be taken into consideration in real
life. He never asked about the prin.
ciple on which any invention was
founded; his first and only question
was will it work."
Considering himself as the raw ma.

Presently Margaret came out of the
hotel, expecting to find him waiting
for her within the hall, and prepared
to be annoyed with him for taking sc
long over a meal. She stood on the
step and looked about, and saw him
sitting on the bench at a little dis
lance. He raised his eyes as she came
towards him and then rose quickly
Is it time?" he asked.
Yes, she said. Did you get any

Owosso High Wins.

Successful forward passes on the
part of the Owosso high school foot
San team, and several costly fumbles
by the st. Louis high players, won
the game for Owosso at st. Louis on
Saturday afternoon, 16 to 6. A SER
res of forward passes enabled Amos
OF Owosso to cross the st. Louis goal
for the first scoring of the day.
Barrows Of Owosso made Owosso's
other two touchdowns, recovering
5fse ball on a tumble by the home
team, and running thirty yards for a
touchdown. Later he blocked a kick
grabbed the ball and after a forty
yard run, crossed the goal for Owos-
SOS third and last touchdown.
Thorold, the st. Louis captain,
scored his teams only touchdown,
Eith several long end runs.
According to the Owosso boys, the
nome team lost the game by fumbl-
fng and unsuccessful attempts at the
forward pass, while the visitors used
the latter play repeatedly, with re-
uarkable success.
Bentley played a star game for
1wosso. He was in practically ev-
sry play and his tackles were sure
and hard. Four 12-minute quarters
we're played. Maybee of Alma acted
as official in the contest.

clearings of the country. In this
city the loss in clearings was, or
course. very largely due to dimin-
ished speculative activity. In other
leading cities the decline for the
month was much less noticeable. For
instance, Philadelphia showed a loss
of 5 per cent, Boston per cent and
showed an increase of 16 per cent,
Kansas City per cent, Minneapolis
IT per cent, San Francisco 13 per
cent. Los Angeles 22 per cent, st.
Louis 2 per cent, New Orleans 4 per
cent, Galveston 80 per cent and At
lanta IS per cent. Taken by sections,
the Middle States show a decrease
In clearings of % per cent, New
England per cent and the Middle
Western States only 1 per cent, while
other Western States show an in
crease of 9 per cent, the Pacific
States an increase of 10 per cent
and the Southern States an increase
of 5 per cent. 1t will thus be seen
that New York Is still the great CEN
ter of depression; that the further
away one travels from this city, the
less the reaction; and that in many
cities, especially in the West and
South, the volume of business Is
still considerably ahead of last year.
When comparing clearings some al
lowance must be made for the fact
that values are generally on a lower
plane than year ago. In the iron
trade reactionary SYMPTOMS are still
observable owing to much of the
present capacity being unemployed,
and lower prices are needed to slim
ulate orders. Somewhat more activ-
ity is observable in cotton goods, due
rather to buyers recognizing the
scarcity of cotton than to any in
crease in consumption of cotton fab
RIGS.
The present situation as a whole
warrants more cheerfulness. The
country is still passing through a Pc
riod of readjustment, evidently not
entirely completed. In all probabili-
ty it is going to be a quiet winter for
u duc dJ large. lie ulSdSIeTS So
long expected, however, have not oc-
cured and the outlook for a salts
factory solution of some of the gray
er economic problems of the day is
more encouraging than has been the
case for many months. Industry is
taking compulsory rest after a pro-
longed period of excessive activity.
Under the new conditions we should
ere long be accommodating a fresh
supply of capital. Investors have
withheld from the market for so
long a period that funds must be ac-
rumilating. Undigested issue must
be in process of assimilation. Bank

the year the stock market was active |

conditions is being recognized, it is |
showing equal readiness in discount |

tn. Shark Is,a Slow Swimmer.

One i'll service nature has done the
ahark-namely, that Of placing TRAN
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning Of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware Of this popularity. for had
ne been SO he would unquestionably
abandon his habit of swimming close
to the surface Of the water and would
IN that case be enabled to approach
MS victim unobserved. The shark is a
slow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, GAS darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was a
poet and does not appear to have been
n close observer of the habits of in
habitants of the water or he would
ffsve known that a shark would have
no more chance Of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would of overhauling

musical selections that were in har-
mony with subject and very mater
tally aided in making the meeting
the rousing success that it was.
Next Sunday the meeting will con-
vene at three o'clock. This will give
us an opportunity to attend the
union services in the Congregational
church at four o'clock. DR.. Klump,
former Owosso man now president
of the national board of arbitration,
