'"BRADSTREET and Dun
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Post Holiday Season, It Is said,.
Is Not So Dull as Might
Be Expected.
Jan. i6.-Bradstreet's

New York, Jan. 16.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Trade shows an increasing disposition
to throw off the quiet OF the post hol-
iday period. Wholesalers are seeking
with fair success for spring business
and statesmen are beginning to send
In orders.
In retail lines, the clearance sale 10
widely In evidence. Except where un-
e~seasonable weather checks operations,
retailers are meeting with fair suc-,
cess. In the wholesale and jobbing
trade conservatism governs and the sit-
uation seems one OF careful buying.
This feeling has resulted In q careful
keeping down OF stocks. Very much
the same feeling animates cotton man
ufacturers. who find margins raw and
manufactures narrow. This has had a
stimulating effect upon prices OF high
conservatism also is patent. A very
general curtailment Of leather output
IS apparently decided upon. Iron and
steel are quiet, and pig iron prices are
still low.
Business failures In the United
were 1868, against 282 last week, 291 In
h like week of 191o,t219 u1909, 431 In.
1908 and 234 In 1907.
Business failures in Canada for the
week ending with Thursday number SO,
which contrasts with ~ last week and
with A for the same week in 1910.
Dun's review today says:
Business conditions remain substan-
tally unchanged. From leading cities
come reports which indicate a diversity
of conditions with, on the whole. a
fair degree of activity.
In some mes the receipt of a salts
factory volume Of spring orders is al
ready reported.
Interest in iron and steel centers
largely on developments In the export
trade. Recent orders from abroad in
clude an important contract for tin
plate, while a substantial tonnage OF
structural material has been sold In
Canada for bridge building urposes
The difficulty regarding specifications
on the Pennsylvania railroads order
for 150, 900 tons Of rails has been adj
Further purchases Of 220 loco
motives are reported.
The pig iron and cast pipe iron in
terests are reported to have been ac-
tive buyers Of late.
More buyers are in the dry goods
markets attending the opening of cot
ton blankets, mems wear and other
lines. There has been considerable ac-
tivity in bleached cottons.
Many visiting buyers are in the
Boston footwear market examining the
situation there. 1t is believed some fair
orders will be booked, owing to the
small holdings. The somewhat firmer
tendency of the hide market last week
has not been continued and at present
h situation is decidedly weak.

MAX PEMRERsT0N

When a woman learns to love and is
iioved. she has no past" I said: "all
that should concern her Is the happi-
ness OF the man to whom she has given
Iher life. In you own case I believe
that we Shall read the story of bygone

&c sure she turned her head at this
and looked me full in the face. 1 have
never seen so a emotions ex-
pressed upon a childish face-joy,
doubt, love, fear. Quick as all her
iaace 70 read an enigma. she under
!stood me almost as soon as I had
spoken: A light of wondrous thankful
mess shone in her eyes. There were
long minutes together when we sat
there in silence, and the only sound
was that of her heart beating.
On. She cried, IF 1t We're true. Dr..
Fabos, II We're true!"
Il will prove it true before we have
been in England a month"

Wings"
IF we were birds to fly over the
;hills!"
The hills will b. kind to us. To-
day, tomorrow, whenever it is, Joan,
will you cross the hills with me?"
She promised me with a warmth that
betrayed her desire; and fearing to
dwell upon it, I left her and went again
to the little river to see what message
1t had for me. Did the waters still
subside. or had my fancy been an hallu-
Icination? Standing this day upon the
very brink of the chasm through which
the river flowed, I knew that 1 was
not mistaken. The stream had sub
sided by another foot at the least; it
no longer raced and tumbled through
the gorge; it was scarcely more than
warm to the hand. Some one without
had diverted its course, and would dam
1T altogether when the good hour
came.

lay and sentenced to one months iIn-i
2risonment. AS he had already spent
more than a month In jail while await
ng trial D,Aulby was given his free-i

dndings Of the court. The judge AMI
lounced that he had found D'AulbyI
guilty of fraud In connection with theI
sale of a Corot.
The Countess D'Aulby, who alsol
was on trial with her husband, but,
against whom the charge was aban-|
ioned by the prosecution, was acquit-
led.
D'Aulby was accused by the Duchess,
De Choiseul-Praeslin with fraud in con-
nection with the sale to her late hus-
band, Charles Hamilton Paines, of Bos-
ton, of a collection of pictures. The
duchess withdrew her complaint after
the case had been in the courts for sew
eral days, but the public prosecutor re-
fused to stop the proceedings.
The defendant maintained that IL the
pictures Were not what he represented
them to be 1t was because he had BEEN
deceived.

The True Equality.

From the Los Angeles Times.
THE late Senator Dolliver,' said a
washington editor, lowed a great part of
his success to his thorough understand
Ing of the American character.
Fl understood the American people,
and he admired and sympathized with
them. I'll never forget an after-dinner
speech of his on equality.
He said that in America We understood
by equality not that we were all equals in
learning, in intellect and so forth, but that
we We're all equals in the power to be good
and honorable and generous.
And he told, by way Of illustration, how
a Fort Dodge church once gave a charity
concert where the best talent volunteered
the city's leading singers, elocutionists
and actors.
Eat the end of the concert the chairman
went up to the organ loft and said to the
little boy in patched clothes who had
blown the organ:
Well Freddie. what do we owe YOU
for your work this EVENING"
THE little boy o at the chairman

the talent give their servioes?'"

r.. &. %. REPRESENTATIVE.

Ottumwa will not be represented
this year by a local representative at
the national convention of the P. e.
TO- sisterhood which meets in ST.

that the organization throughout the
state is formed into groups OF three
chapters each and that to which Of
tumwa belongs is made up Of Chap
tiers G, H and of Ottumwa, Abba and
Keosanqua.. Thus each city Of the
group is given q local representative
every three years and this delegate
represents the three chapters Keo-
sauqua sends the delegate to ST.
Louis this year.
Arrangements have been completed
by Chapter o, the ST Louis branch Of
the national organization of P. E. O.
clubs, to entertain the national con-
vention In St Louis the week of Sept
26. Sessions of the convention will
extend through Thursday of that week
and many social functions have been
arranged for the entertainment of the

ton at the buckingham hotel, which
