EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There is a little girl in our street
who rejoices in the possession of a
dinky little pony and pony cart By
reason of this good fortune she is, of
course. the envy and admiration of al
most every child in town. There is
scarcely a child in the neighborhOod
who is not passionately anxious to be
Dots friend.
Except-and hereby hangs the tale
except Donald. Donald = sturdy
youngster, a little older than Dot of
the pony cart. He moved here few
months after she did and had hardly
been domiciled a day before Dot saw
him and experienced love at first sight
Intoxicated by the position of dis
tinction and power which the pony
cart has long given her, Dot inmedi-
ately set out with serene severity to an
mex Donald.
Both fgurative1y and with the aid
Of her pony cart, literally, she went
after him. She came UP to his home
in the morning and offered to drive
him to school.
She took his sister driving
If he went to the oth=s end of the
town after school to play with other
boys she drove after him and humili-
ated him in the presence of his com
rades by urging him to get in and take
a ride with her.
Growing concession Of all for her,
she even offered to let him ride on the
ponys back.
All this had its Inevitable result
Donald being a genuine boy-that his
| initial liking of her soon changed into
disgust and dislike.
Had Dot of the pony cart approach
ed Donald in any other way, I think
she might have won out. for she is not
an unattractive little girl But she
failed so utterly because she tried to
drive her pony cart over an obstacle
that not even her plucky little beast
could surmount-and that was the in
trinsic nature of boy and man.
Thus are girls and women every
where trying to do the same thing with
wealth or popularity or beauty or some
other kind of pony cart. And if the
man is a real man they almost newt
ably meet with failnre.
Man wants to pursue. He does not
want to be pursued. Whether you like
| it or not you might as we'll make up
your mind that that is a part of the
cave man nature that is sill left in any
man worth the name.
'eThey also serve who only stand and
wait" was surely said for women in
love or, better still, for all women at
all times.
I do believe that a woman who
wants man to fall in love with her
may go after him, but only in the care

where she will be likely to meet him.
She may make herself as attractive as
possible to him. She may study his
tastes. But she must reve let him

Sometimes I'm sorry for her. for she
is spirited little creature. and takes
her defeat hard.
And then again, I'm glad for her.
For, just think. she's learned now,
when it must cost her 50 very much
less, a lesson that many women pay for
with broken hearts.
After all. I guess she is very. very
lucky.

WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY.
Decline Due to Political Agitation and
Foreign Disturbances.

New York, Aug. 19.-The reaction
airy movements in stock which began
the earlier part of this month con-
tinued with little interruption this
week. Practically all issues of i'm
portance fell to new low records for
the year under the lead of Union Pa
cific. Liquidation came from myster-
icus sources and was accelerated by
heavy short sales. In the absence of
definite information the decline was
again attributed to a combination of
circumstances in which political agita-
ton and arrested business at home,
together with uncertainty as to the
foreign situation, were most promi-
nent.
Lack of support at receding prices
was some of the most disturbing ele-
ments of the movement, and belief
that substantial interests were holding
off was heightened by the cautious ut
terances of many prominent financiers.
Some Improvement was shown yester-
day, however, following the publica-
ton of a reassuring statement from
the Hartman interests.
Conditions In steel and iron bespeak
extreme conservatism, with slight bet
terment in other industries except tex
tiles, which are even more discour-
aging than in recent weeks.
