CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

It was a very active and at times q
very weak market on the Consolidated
Exchange. with nearly all the leading
stocks touching low prices for the day,
which were under the bottom quotations
reached on the New York Stock Exchange.
The advance in wheat dominated the early
market, while Attorney General Wicker
shams Chicago utterances advocating fed
eral control Of security issues came into
play later as bearish influence. The pro-
fessional element offered stocks through
out the day, while the uncoyertng OF nu-
nlerous stop-loss orders accounted for con-
siderable liquidation. Sales were the
heaviest in two weeks, aggregating 5,64O
shares, with ffty-six different stocks on
the list There was some active odd lot

SATISFIED H PUP.

When the late Clyde Fitch, who
translated "The Blue Mouse" was
putting on this production, he
brought to the theater the toy span
iel which appears in the second act.
The company had just been called
together and Mr.. Fitch, from the
darkness of a wicker basket, pro-
duced the spaniel, read him the
lines, and %thereupon handed him
over to Miss Barrison, otherwise
Paulette Divine, "the Mouse"
"But what shall we call him."

ooh, anything will do" suggested
MI. Fitch.

sATIRIsT HAS LITTLE W
HIS Work In Combating Worlds Evils
Has Been H~umorously Ex-
ageerated.

Every little while some wise man
tells us that what this country needs
is a genuine satirist, which, of
course, is true. But he goes on to
depict a scene of quite incredible ex-
citement-every fool up a tree, SOL
emn folk exploding, self-compla-
cency punctured, vice pilloried,
humbug stripped, and a small group
of very intelligent persons (himself
among them) besides themselves for
JOY at the well-directed cuts, bites,
stings, burns and rapier thrusts. Yet
he knows as well as we do that we
should all come off without a scratch.
When a great satire bursts upon the
world the surprising thing has al
ways been its utter harmlessness.
The vices do not "slink to cover"
The fool does not know he is being
killed. The wounds of vanity all
heal by first intention, and the de-
,fiated composites of our middle age
fill again as naturally as the lungs
de. While waiting for this nan of
genius to blow up all the follies to
the sky a good many writers might
be doing useful work at the reduc-
ton of literary terms to the actual
size of the thoughts behind them.
Perhaps some sort of practicable
table for computing literary shrink
age might in time be devised.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1910-02-18
SILENCE AND ITS RESULTS.

When husbands fall into the silent
habit, wives often resort to an ex-
pedient in nearly all cases disas-
trous-that is, asking questions. 1t
is well known that the masculine
mind dislikes questions. To escape
questioning, some men try d%iscour-
tesy, others meet it with evasion or
Misrepresentation, or by giving in
formation in so piecemeal a way that
the questioner grows discouraged.
Until men learn that the lives of
women are narrow and often mo-
n~otonous, and that women long to
share the more vital interests of the
day, they are not likely to acquire
the sympathy that will lead them to
more generous treatment.-Harper's
Bazaar.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1910-02-18
THOUGHT WELLS POISONED.

The quiet and picturesque little
village of Termonfeckin, near Drog-
heda, Ireland, had a sensation of its
own last week. The rumor got
abroad that all the wells in the vi
cinity of the village had been
poisoned by some malicious person,
and on examination it was found
that substances such as oil and
paints were floating on the surface
of each well. Near one well a dog
was found dead, while a dead cat lay
beside a second well. 1t was nat
urally assumed hat they were
poisoned while drinking water, and
the residents, becoming alarmed, re-
ported the matter to the police. On
making Investigations the police
concluded that the discoloration of
the water was due to a paint mixture
known as "Spanish brown"

EMOTION AND THE LANGUAGE
Peculiar Characteristic Noted In let
ter Written by Rescued Miner
at Cherry, III.

1t is noted that emotion may sim
plify language. One of the rescued
from the mine at Cherry, ILL.,, Joe
Peggati, an Italian, wrote a fare
well letter to his wife. Therein, the
proportion of Latin words written
by this man of Latin race is strik-
ingly small. Words of Latin origin
are nearly 40 per cent. in Shake
speare, and in Milton about 60 per
cent. But in this miners letter Of
"a words, only these eight were
Latin: Because, comrades, lamp,
mercy, property, quiet, safety, vir-
gin. But look at his Anglo-Saxon
vocabulary: A, afraid, all, also, and,
