forced on him as security
Mr. Bailey was in the upstairs wait

stranger knew a nunber cf people in
Oberlin. in fact he was going down

TRADE IS EXPANDING.
There Is Stin Noticeable Conserva-
tism in Buying.

New York. Sept. -Bradstreet's
says:
Three factors helped to expand
trade in moderate way this week
fall festivals, the advance of the sea-
son and the ending of the vacation
period. On the whole, recent develop
ments are relatively more favorable,
but still conservatism in buying is eV-
erywhere visible and final purveyors
of goods display no particular ten
dency to forsake the policy hereto
fore pursued, that is, to buy frequently
and in small lots rather than literally
at any one time. This attitude is sup
erinduced in a large degree by the in
ability of retail distributors of wear
ing apparel, furnishings and the like
to measure the probable effects on
their sales of ascending prices for
edible commodities and the idleness
visible in many industrial lines.
In industrial circles the drift has
been in more favorable direction,
owing, chiefly, to diminished fears of
imm ediate strike of railway shopmen
on western lines and the resumption
of some New England textile mills, but
as regards this latter movement it
must be said that there is considerable
room for further Improvement before
anything like marked activity can be
proclaimed in the cotton goods line.
In iron and steel the long expected
fall buying of finished material has
not appeared.
The railways are doing more in con-
sonance with the season and there are
fewer idle cars than at any time since
December. Collections range from
about slow to fair.

the problems that faced the men who

He sat In his room in the college

and wrote his father that he could

try; that he wanted above all other
things in life to enter the school of
mines at the university
He waited five days, The answer
came. The same night there were
vacant room and a vacant bed in the
dormitory. Next morning came a
search. Under a table was found a
crumpled note that the tears of the
lad had blurred as he read. The letter
was taken to the president of the col
lege When this gray haired gentle
man adjusted his spectacles he pressed
the paper fiat on his desk and read:

Several years have passed since that

in search of any kind Of work that
strong hands and arms could perform
So there should be tempered judg.
ment shown, say l, in dwelling on
the present fate Of Jimmy Valentine
when it is considered that he was the
ambitious lad who left the crumped
note lying on the floor in his bedroom
and set out to fight the world single
handed.
That Jimmy should have lost in his
first grapple with life should afford
no reasonable person ground for re-
proach Those Of us who have not
lost as yet quite humanity perhaps in
cline toward comparisons which favor
our own acknowledged virtues, but
at the same time the environment of
our fellow beings at critical periods in
their lives should always be remem-
bered when the final estimate is made.
1t Is human to have human emotions.
1t is human to have inhuman ideas
concerning some of our fellow men at
various times: but. after all. why not
adopt the optimistic philosophy of Jim
my Valentine himself? For was It
not he who at the time "Frlsco Eddie"
bungled the "inside job" of q safe
lOoting expedition in Omaha sought to
soothe the latters feelings by saying
sympathetically:
"NobOdy is a failure until he admits
1t himself, You will never admit
you're failure, Eddie so cheer up.
You. therefore, can never be one"
Consequently Jimmy Valentine must
be given Il chance. His doctrine Is the
doctrine of hope Give him a chance
to apply it to himself and await un-
condemnlngly and dispassionately the
result.
If be succeeds in making a man Of
himself. a man such as his Creator In
tended him to be, who Is there to say
that his past has anything in 1t to
concern a critical world? Or who Is
there to deny to Jimmy Valentine his
birthright If he should miraculously
redeem it?
But should he fail in the great test
we'll perhaps no word should just
now be sent regarding him to the old
home in the little town, to the father
and the mother who would not under
