A newspaper when properly con-
Quoted, is but a mirror of the
community in which it is published,
and when its columns do not carry
the business announcements of all
the merchants in a community it
speaks loudly of the lack of
enterprise therein-tells a story to
the world that is not complimentary
to the people of either the town or
county. A good paper is worthy
of patronage, and if it does not
secure husinss it is better to give
up the ghost better for the editor
and better for the community"

A small West Philadelphia boy

is on the dog. "A dog is a
animule with four legs, a tale and
pants but he never changes them.
He wags his tale when he is glad
and sits on it when he is sorry. A
dog is a useful animule because he
bites burglars but he is more
trouble than he is worth when he
tracks mud on the carpet. A bull
dog is the king of beests."

Market Yields Poor Returns to Bears Efforts
STEEL COMMON UNDER PRESSURE,
WITH ONLY MODEST LOSS.
GENERAL TONE GOOD.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.--Despite the
hopeful comment Of the press over Sun
day there was a general turn to sell
stocks soon after the opening. The
Street was very suspicious of the heavy
selling of Steel common from London,
and took II to mean that some Of the
big American buyers were getting out
by the London route.
1t was soon evident that the liaui-
dation was not to be very serious, de-
spite the heavy selling, for the buy
ing was excellent and the support of
Steel common around 63 actually stag
gered the bears. The latter tried to
make the most of rumors of Illness

accident to Mr. Morgan yesterday,
claiming that he, too, was ILL.,

The sensation on the local stock mar
ket was in Washington Railway and
Electric common. The advent of c. L.
King as president has been responsible
for the stronger tone of the market,
but the movement today must be, ac-
credited to some other influence. The
story on change would not down that
an increased dividend on the common
shares would be a matter of short
time. There were also other rumors OF
matters too much in embryo to be
seriously considered at this time. Sales
at a5 were moderately heavy. Capital
