How "pepo Billings Got a Bargain.

TOW 'TSp Bill09S Got Bargain
c. X G Billings, who has paid a
larger sum q, money for trotters and
PAGERS to drive on the road and anna
teur matinee races, and owned more
of them, than any ten horse lovers in
the country, tells Of very sad exper-
fence In the first horse he ever owned
In his life.
When quite young man, Mr.. Bill
ings fancied fast trotting mare
priced to him at $4,000, bnt not having
more than $500 to his name, he per
suaded his mother to advance him the
balance, which she did after much
begging. In due time his father heard
of the fast trotter his son had bought,
and expressed desire to try her.
The request was complied with, and
after a few spins on the board the old
gentleman asked how much he had
paid for her. six hundred dollars,

well, Charley, the mare Is not
worth it," said the governor, but I

habit the suffragettes have. have
photographed a lot OF these strenuous
DANES. and find that they are more
likely to be taken with a child In their
arms than women who don't care a
rap about the cause
The severest criticism leveled at
the suffragette movement is that 1t de.
stroys a womans desire for family
life; but these pictures don't show It.
Maybe the child element Is introduced
for effect-I don't know. Maybe The
children are just borrowed for the ocs
casion, but. no matter what the mo-
tive or whose the children It is a

FIND SITUATIONS FOR WOMEN
Eastern Organization Is Doing Good
Work for College Students
and Graduates.

Mrs. Henry Wise Miller is chairman
of the committee In charge Of the em-
ployment bureau OF the Barnard Col
lege Alumnae association. The OBJ
iect Of this committee is to find EN-
ployment for Barnard girls who are
working their way through college
and for graduates. According to
Mrs. Miller there Is a good demand
for college trained women as stenog-
raphers and private secretaries, She
has had applications from lawyers
and the heads of large business
houses who say that they want
women with brains who have been
taught to work Independently, and to
get such women they are willing to
pay minimum salary Of 500 a
month.
Mrs. Miller finds 1t hard to get col
lege women to fill such places.
This is said to be the FIRST employ.
ment bureau established by WON
ans college, The system is the same
as that employed in the mems uni
versity clubs of New York and the
work has increased so much since the
bureau was established a few months
ago that in another year it win be
necessary to engage a paid worker
who can give IT her entire time.

CONFIDENCE FELT
BY Holders of Stocks--Favorabte In
ferences May Be Drawn From
This Condition.

New York, March Favorable in
ferences might be drawn of the con
fidence felt by holders of stocks from
the scanty offerings to sell in the
market today. 1t was this lightness
of supply which made it easy for
the professional traders to bid up
prices without being obliged to ac.
cept any great amount of stock. The
actuated demand was small and con
fined almost wholly to the profession
al trading element.
News bearing on security values
did not seem to be considered of sui
ficient Importance to prompt any
large shifting of position in the mar
ket on the part of the more substan
tal inside interests. An attitude of
waiting was maintained on their part
The absence on winter vacations of
many persons accepted as leaders or
authority in finance and in market
movements is a feature of the posi-
ton The effect is suggestive of in
difference to the movement of the
stock market, and abstention from
any share of it's activities, although
large assumption based on these APP
pearances might lead to false conclu-
sions that prevailing opinion was in
favor of coming period Of dullness'
and narrow drift of prices, not long
maintained in either direction
The annual report of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was studied with usual
interest by reason of its vast scope
and representative character
The profitable results of the years
business had an important influence
in sustaining confidence and in the
firm undertone of the days market
The increasing number Of bond issues
sold to bankers Is testimony to the
unimpaired determination of the
great railroad corporations to proceed
with the work of building up their
systems.
Extra dividend disbursement by
the Lake Shore was taken to show
a desire of the parent of the New
York Central to enlist as large re
sources as possible from its sub
sidiary companies for carrying on ex-
tensive Improvement work. On the
other hand the reduced dividend Of
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
company dampened the hopes of pre-
ferred holders of the Rock Island
holding company for sharing in dis.
tributed profits. Reports of January
net earnings of railroads showed
some striking discrepancies in the
net return, which might be due tc
differences of weather condition in
