THE GooOY, GooDY GIRL.

When Lucy was
an infant small
She was aamodel
child.
She never, never
cried at all,
But only slept
and smiled.
And then when Lucy
older grew,
And tried TO talk
and toddle,
She did no thing she
oughtn't to.
But still behaved a
model.
When Lucy was, say,
twelve years old,
And growing tall
and slightly.
She did whatever she
was told,
And curteseyed
most politely.
At sixteen Lucy was a dear,
AT eighteen quite a beauty.
She lived without care or fear
And always did her duty.
She was Perfection's Perfect Pink
A character unflawed
Unworthy thoughts she could not
think:
Her mind was fair and broad.
She said things she ought to say,
She acted as she should;
She lived her life the noblest way
Oh, my, but she was good,
What happened next?" you ask of me.
Well, / can't answer you,
just made Lucy up. you see
She's too good to be true.

PERSIA.

London, Dec. 22.-Persia yielded, to-
day, to the Russian ultimatum which
demanded that the Persian foreign
minister apologize for an insult to
NJ Petroff, the Russian vice consul
at Teheran at the time of the seizure
of the property of brother of the Ex-
Shah, which demanded dismissal from
office of w Morgan Shuster, the
American who held the post of treas
urer general and the payment of an
indemnity for compelling Russia to
send troops into Persia to enforce the
ultimatum."
The Persian charge dafiaires at st.
Petersburg called at the Russian for
eign Office to announce his govern
ment's decision to abide by the terms
of the ultimatum. Up to a late hour,
tonight, however, no public announce
ment had been made at Teheran of
the recession of Persia from the de-
tialt stand she originally took against
the demands of the Cars ministers,
even in the face of threatened aggres-
sion. The delay in making public the
fact that she had yielded to Russia
probably was from fear of the conse-
quences of public resentment. Mr.
Shuster is still without formal notice
of his dismissal. He is resolute in de-
claring that he would have nothing

Holiday Retail Trade for
Week Very Satisfactory.
Undertone Of Cotton Market In
dictates Steady Improvement.
Market for Wooden and Worsted
Goods still Calming.

New York, Dec. 22.-R. G. Dun g.
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade, to-
morrow, will say:
Tho holiday retail trade has been
very satisfactory, and i'll some of the
cities in excess of former years, re-
vealing noteworthy ability and Will
ness among consumers to spend.
Wholesale operations are naturally
held somewhat in check by the hol-
iday trade and by the settlements In
cident to the closing Of the year, but
there is no indicated change in the
more favorable situation business
which has been progressively mani
tested during the past few weeks
While the business Is seasonably
quiet, the undertone of the cotton
market indicates slow but steady inn
provement in the volume of distribu-
ton. Bleached sheetings We're adj
vanced half to 75sc, and the movement
of this class of goods is large. Drills
for converting purposes are iii steady
demand and some heavy sheetings are
being ordered moderately, while light
sales of print cloths and eonvertables
are reported. Mills are generally ad-
herring to prices based upon 4 3-16e
for 3Sl4-inch 6ix64s, but occasional
concessions are reported. Exports to
miscellaneous ports continued good
and some small Red sea buying is
being done, while shipments to China,
last week. aggregated 340o bales.
Steady Improvement continues in
the market for wcolen and worsted
goods. Footwear rules quiet with
supplementary orders, many manu-
faeturers are now running under cur
tailed production, preparatory to in
ventory taking. Jobbers find retail
ogod.
In the leather market occasional
concessions are reported in few de-
scriptions, principally harness leath-
er and shoe side upper: other kinds,
such as sole leather, of all calf skins
are decidedly strong A good part of
the declines so far recorded in do
rnestic hides is in accordance with
the inferior quality of hides taken Off
