A Soldier Yarn.

Sir William Arbuckle is a capital

him exceedingly popular at society

story, at an annual South African din.

days gone by, was commandant and
governor at the Cape. The supply
from home, and necessaries of all
kinds for the soldiers, was generally
sadly deficient. and the men were oft.
en- IN a pitiable plight in the way of
clothing. There was, consequently.
much discomfort. So Sir Harry had
them on parade, said some pleasant
things to them, complimented them
on their soldierly appearance, told
them what splendid fellows they were.
talked Of the service they had seen
together, and so forth. When he had

a smile. of old John Bodewin. John
was a lawyers confidential clerk, and
he had the p%ernicious habit OF going
to a ~neighboring saloon every MORN

whisky. He was not proud of this
habit; hence, after the whisky. he al.
ways took a Glove.
But one morning it happened that
there were no cloves on the bar. and
John, having considered the matter,
swallowed a small Jaw onion from the

the tell-tale whisky odor. no doubt. as
well as the Glove had always done,

3RoFlT FROM PATENT OFFICE
Il Is the Only Government Depart
ment That Does Not Cause Loss
to Uncle sam.

Tie patent office Is the one depart.
ment of the government which actual.
ly yields a proft-something over $50,
O00 for the last fiscal year, during
which the fees amounted to $t.SS7, 900.
The records show $1,000 applications
for mechanical appliances, on which
$4,000 patents were issued.
lnasmueh as the past year shows
an increase of 1000 applications, it is
evident that invention. instead of
growing less, is on the contrary.
steadily increasing. and while many
patents are secured ON which the in.
ventors realize little or nothing, yet
fortunes are now and will continue to
be made from new and practical ideas.
In most cases the cause of failure
to realize expectations will be found,
says Popular Mechanics, in the nat,
ural tendency of IN inventor to mag
nifty the possibilities and minimize the
difficulties of selling his invention.
While an occasional find" is made
by some one working along a line III
which he is poorly informed, hun.
dreds waste time and money develop
ing some device which when finished
proves to be either old or without de,
mand.
If the inventor would have his at.
torney make a search of the records
before instead of after completing his
invention he would save money and
be able to work out his ideas along
different lines from those already pro-
tected by patents.

FINANCIAL REPORTS
CAUSE OF TURMOIL
News From Railroads Also
Tends to Relieve Market of
Threatening Situation

NEW YORK, July 31.-The important
financial and railroad news which be-
came known last week went far to
explain the recent turmoil and unset
tlement in the stock market. and served
at the same time to relieve it by the
settlement of threatening situation.
The surrender to an international syn
dicate headed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of
holdings accumulated by the 50 called
Pearson syndicate, looking to the form
alton of railroad combination, reach
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
transformed the speculative position.
The transaction in its first bearing re-
lieved the stock market of necessity
for forced liquidation, such as the
Tuesday stock market gave an ex-
ample of.
The selling out of loans to the hard
pressed holders of the stock designed
to form the combination threw the
market into Generalization on that day,
An excited rise in price OF corn caused
the temporary apprehension that pros
pective partial failure of that crop and
fears of the country,s general credit
position were involved in the acute de-
preston of the stock market.
While the trouble which overlook the
ambitious project for the formation of
new railroad combination must ;be
traced primarily to the market depres-
sion growing out general causes, prob
ably 1T was much aggravated by the
attitude of powerful groups whose in
terests were likely impaired by the pro-
posed new project. The Obvious alb
sence of any protective measures in the
stock market for some time past was
explained by the unwillingness of these
opposing interests to afford support, for
the extrication of the. embarrassed
party.
The moment chosen for the relief of
the perilous stock market situation. was
the moment of surrender of the ag-
gressiye new projectors in the rail-
road world. The antagonisrns involved
lay not only in the railroad field, but
in the industrial as well, touching some
OF the most powerful financial interests
in existence.
The surface showing of Improvement
In the banking position was allowed
It's due influence on sentiment The
private settlements of the week in
volved placing of large blocks of Sc
curities abroad and there sprang UP an
important demand in. the open market
for foreign account. The foreign credit
account of the New York money market
was correspondingly strengthened.
