The Hearts of Sam Houston,

The Hearts of Sam Houston.
 In the Memoirs of a Senate Page" Christian F. EckIof recalls the years just prior to the outbreak of the civil war. when Sumner. Wade. Douglas. Hamlin. Houston. John F. Hale. Breck- fnridge. Thomas and Jefferson Davis were debating the great questions upon which the north and south were at variance. They were an imposing body of men. mostly clad in black broad cloth and wearing high silk hats.
 But there was one senator who re- fused to be dignifed-Senator Hous- ton of Texas. Day after day." says MT. Eckloff. during spare moments he sat there in his seat carving hearts out of soft pine wood. They were pieces about the size of the hand. When he bad completed one of these works of art he would summon a page and. pointing toward some fair spec tator in the gallery. would say. Give this to that lady up there with Gen. eral Sam Houston's compliments
 Mir. Ecklof remembers Houston as one of the gentlest and kindest of men.
 Sock and Buskin.
 In the early ages theatrical perform CTS disguised their faces with wine lees or rude pigment Aeschylus. the fa- nous tragic poet. introduced masks. which were of various kinds. express ing every age, country, condition and complexion. All were constructed with the greatest nicety and precision The dresses were also adapted to the characters assumed by the actors. What was known as the buskin was a hunting boot. Those worn by tra- gedians had soles three inches thick. composed of layers of cork. and were laced up in front as high as the calf Sandals were also worn, and many of these had thick cork soles. The col ors of the foot coverings were various red being the favorite hue for war riors and purple for other characters Slaves wore a low shoe bearing the name of sock. which was also the ordi- nary footwear of comedians. From this circumstance arose the we'll known phrase of 'sock and buskin." so generally associated with the drama.

MACK CONFIDENT.
Is Sure That His 1910 Combina ior
 Will Be a Flag Copper.

We have not shown just as strong ly las we might so far this season. said Connie Mack recently. but I will say that I have the strongest and most resourceful team that I ever have shaped for a pennant fight, and I don't except the Athletics of 1902 and 1905 which won American league pen nants''
 Compared with the Athletics that started the season of 1909, Connie says they are 75 per cent. stronger. The team is playing better ball and with more confidence than last fall. when 1t was nosed out of the championship by Detroit.
 Mack. Nothing on earth can keep the Athletics out of the pernapt running this season except wholesale accidents and the collapse of my pitchers.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
TRADERS DISCOURAGED.
Attempt to Move the Market Practi
 caIy Given Up.

New York. May 1.-The stock mar ket sank into lethargy today. The failure of the reopening of the for eign stock markets to revive any ac- tIvity in the dealings was 8 diScour-
 agement to the trading element and
 they practically gave up the attempts
 to move the market even over the one
 eighth range required for the mini

 velopments were not important, but stocks were unusually unresponsive to such as there were.
 Eome influence was allowed to the Hooking Valley receivership as a fac tor in the stagnation. The Hawley projects of consolidation and exten- sion furnish about the only matter of that kind now available for the consid- the check thus opposed nullifies its possible effect. The hisconsolate traders bewaI the lack of leadership in the market and point to the void left by the passing of F. H. Hartman and the lack of successor to that
 restless spirit of enterprise.
 The resumption of business in Lon
 don found that market under the re-
 pressive influence of the mourning pe-
 riod for the dead king and with the
 prospect of another adjournment on Friday for the funeral ceremonies. The neagre business that originated there
 today was on the selling side in New
 York and established a lower level of opening prices. A desultory attempt to renew the advance in Reading was followed by a 1anguid bidding up of Brooklyn Transit, which about ex- hausted the resources of that market
 further advance in the foreign ex change rates today, when the report ed bond sales in Paris, if completed, ought to cause a downward tendency, gave rise to vague uneasiness over a possible hitch in these negotiations. The continued sluggishness of the bond market and the conservative views regarding the money market held by bankers emphasize the inn portance of an extensive sale of bonds to foreigners Rates on mercantile paper are rising again, with no de- mand on the part of bankers for the small supply in the market.
