Stock Market

New York. nctober 26-Operations
in stocks to-day centred about the
steel group, 1t was not until after
the close OF the market that knowledge
OF the governments suit FOR dissolu-
ton OF the United states Steel Cor
poration reached Wall Street, never
theless pressure against the Steel
stocks was constant and severe.
When il was announced that the
United states Steel directors ut "a spe-
cial meeting to-day had met to give
official sanction to the plan for ter
lease and reducing ore rates on the
corporations railroads, prices rose
somewhat. But the Improvement was
not for long. Selling OF United States
point of the day and a drop of nearly
: points from the high figure of the
session. Despite the frequently re-
peated report that the government
was soon to file its dissolution suit,
the street was not prepared for the
announcement that the suit had been
fle6.
United States steel is now selling
nearly 20 points below the high price
OF the year The decline has been
gneraliy attributed in large, part to
selling by holders who feared such an
action as was begun to-day by the
government.
What effect the actual filing of the
suit will have upon United Statss
''Atti otiIcT STOCKS is, OF course,
proh!ematical. 1t has been believed
by some observers Of the financial
market that suit against the largest
OF ti' countries industrial combina-
Iions would serve TO bring to head
the issue which has proved so dis
quteting and would have ultimately
u beneficial effect.
The Increase In Norfolk and West
ern's dividend rate to c per cent. had
no pronounced effect upon the stock,
as the change had been anticipa ted.
The stock rose less than point
touching its recent high figure OF

We went to every party within 80
miles. The way we used TO rush home
to get dressed for a party! The first
one there got the best clothes, you
know Many's the time I've got out
to a party wearing more OF my
brothers clothes than my own.
"Of course we played tricks on each
other. But IT was all taken in good
sport For instance, more than once
I've got home late and found all the
Stats out OF my bed. But l always
got EN- back, you can wager!
Our one regret was that We had
no sisters. We didn't have any girl
company at home because We had no
sisters. We could go out all We
wanted to, but it wasn't the same as
having a bunch of pretty girls drop
ping in to see a fellows sister.
And work! How We fellows did
work out there on the farm. We used
every muscle we had. But it was
good for US. We had something for
it all. We had good health and good
spirits and We grew up into big,
strong men, with manly ideas.
But what DO I get out Of this here
work in the city?"
81 work all day for some money
that I've got to hand right out again.
Do I get anything for it? = head
ache! That's all
Il go home with my headache. I'd
like to find my wife home ready to
coddle me up a little and that sort of
thing. you know.
We'll. I find my wife's been through
the mill just the spme as l have.
IShe's been figuring how TO make both
ends meet and keep up appearances
as good as the neighbors. She wants
the house and the children to be a
credit 10 me and that takes money.
She knows that if she looks shabby
the neighbors will begin to gossip that
I'm not doing so well, and it might
hurt my business.
she's got to keep up with the
church-which costs money. She tries
to keep up with the times by belong
ing to a club or so-and it costs
money. She's got to pay three times
as much for everything as We did
when We were first married, while our
income hasn't kept up in proportion, to
say nothing Of the children growing
up and needing more money.
We'll, what's the result? My wife
gets a headache, too.
$50, when 1 get home, we both have
headaches. And that seems to be all
we get out of alife the way most of us
are living it now.
IT tell you, something isn't right
somewhere. But what's an ordinary
man going to do about it?'

longer, but that the period of human
usefulness is being heightened. Few
men are worn out at 40 or so or even
so years of age. AS in many other re-
lations OF life, the personal equation
must be taken into consideration
Some men are worn out at 80, and
others never wear out. A few days
ago there came word that Murdo Nc
Kenzie, a cattleman Of the Panhandle
had been appointed manager of a 6,
900, 000-acTe cattle ranch in Brazil
Now it happens that Mr.. Mckenzie is
20 years Of age, time of life far be-
yond DR.. Osler's limit of usefulness.
Mr.. Mckenzie is not only going TO
embark in an entirely new undertak-
ing at his advan ced age, but he has
signed contract for FIVE years at a
salary of $50, 900 a year. Here is an
inspiring example of the virility of
manhood which does not sink beneath
the mere weight of accumulated years
1T would not be at all difficult to
quote many historic examples Of men
who did their very best work when
they were over 90 years Of age. At 40
years men and women are only reach
ing their prime For a fine example
OF active maturity one need only point
TO the supreme court Of the United
States, where a magnificent group of
old men are still in the harness in the
high service Of their country. Of course
DR.. Osler may laugh at his Joke but
he has not contributed to the peace
and contentment Of some thousands
OF men and women in this and other
lands who have reached their three
score and find themselves still young
