Eldrid Scott Newton, who died Feb
10th, 1910, aged IL months and 8 days
The little Crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;
A mothers hope. fathers JOY,
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go, little pilgrims, to thy home
On yonder bissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thon hast gone before.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with him who gave;
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band,
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
When we see precious blossom
That we tended with such care
Rudey taken from our bosom
How our aching hearts despair.
Around it's little grave we lInger
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have persisted
With the flower we cherished so.
Gone but not forgotten.

NEWSOF WALL STREET
Market Is of Mixed Character, but Gains Are
More Numerous Than Losses Alton Dividend
Passed, but No Deeline FolLops

New York, June N.-The stock market
was irregular to-day and the news of
market interest was of mixed character,
but the lnumber OF gains in stocks con-
siderably exceeded the losses and the
market seemed to reflect an opinion that
on the whole the favorable features OF
the days news more than counterbal-
anced the bad. The most reassuring
news concerned the crops ana was con-
strued together with the reports of
weather conditions in the Middle West
since the close of the week.
The report said that In the States of
the corn belt, west of the Mississippi,
intense heat and drought prevailed dur
ing most Of the week and that the week
as whole was unfavorable, but yester-
days news showed that heavy rains had
fallen in Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, South
Dakota, and the Ohio Valley, SO that
the damage of the greater part Of last
week must have been greatly repaired.
Alton Dividend Passed.
The Chicago and Alton preferred div
idend was passed and It was announced
that It would probably be passed at the
next dividend meeting as we'll A few
traders sold stocks on this account, but
the market as whole disregarded the
announcement. Not share of either
the common or preferred stocks of the
company changed hands and the pre-
ferred stock Of Toledo. st. Louis and
Western. the dividend on which may be
affected by the action Of Alton, actually
advanced.
In a statement explaining the reason
for passing the preferred dividend It was
stated in substance that the management
had decided upon the conservative policy
Of putting earnings back into the road
instead Of paying them out in dividends.
The statement was everywhere applauded
