entire spring and well into the summer.
Then came painters and gardeners.
The piazza disappeared: new picket
fence. exactly like the old one torn
down by the Howeses. was erected;
new shutters were hung. new window
panes were set: he roof WAS newly
shingled. Captain Cy senior had in
his day cherished New England fonc-
ness for white and green paint: there
fore the new fence was white and the
house was white and the blinds bril-
liant green. Rows of box hedge. the
plants brought from Boston, were set
out on each side of the front walk. The
Howes front door bella clamorous
gong-was removed. and glass knob
attached to spring bell of the old
fashioned Jingle" variety took its
place. An old fashioned flower garden
Captain Cy's mother had loved po-
sies-was laid out on the west lawn
beyond the pear trees. All these
changes the captain superintendent.
When they were complete he turned
his attention to interior decoration.
And now Captain Cy proceeded to
literally astonish the natives. Among
the Howes improvements" were gilt
wall papers and modern furniture for
the lower floor of the house. The fur
niture they had taken with them; the
wall paper had perforce been left be-
hind. And the captain had every scrap
of that paper stripped from the walls
and the latter recovered with quaint,
ugly, old fashioned patterns. stripes
and roses and Powered sprays with i'm
possible birds fitting among them.
The Bassett decorators had pasted the
gilt improvement over the old Whitta-
ker paper, and it was the Whitaker
paper that the captain did his best to
match, sending samples here, there and
everywhere in the effort. Then upon
the walls he hung old fashioned pic
lures, such as Bayport dwellers had
long ago relegated to their attics, pic
lures like From Shore to Shore
"Christian Viewing the City Beauti-
full" and Signing the Declaration y
To these he added. bringing them from
the crowded garnet of the homestead,
oil paintings of ships commanded by
his father and grandfather and family
portraits executed-which is a pecul-
iarly fitting worldly deceased local
artists in oil and crayon.

~ politics in their seasons, but
county politics and local affairs al

initiation. Her scholars had enjoyed
themselves and would have liked her
to continue, but the committee and
the townspeople thought otherwise.
There was general feeling that en-.
joyment was not the whole aim of
education.
There was difference of opinion
concerning Miss Seabury's successor.
A portion Of the townspeople were for
hiring graduate Of the state normal
school, young woman with modern
training. Others, remembering that
Miss Seabury had graduated from that
school. were for proved ability and
less up to date methods. These latter
had selected a candidate in the person
of Miss Phoebe Dawes, resident of
Wellmouth and teacher of the Well
mouth downstairs for some years.
The arguments at Simmons were hot
ones.

might sayY' demanded Alpheus Small

want our teachin' to be abreast of the

WORKING AGAIN
 FOR FREE ZONE

MORALES, Ariz., Nov. 2i- Working together with the munici- pal governments of all the other cities along the international bouu- diary in Mexico, tae ayuntamiento o1 Hogales. Sonora, is engaged in pusn. ing with the Ieoerai government a protect to restore the free zone, which had existed from tE.e early history of the republic. and was abolished about ten years ago. The Zona fibre as it was known in Mex leo. was a strip of territory twenty miles wide, along the boundary from the mouth of the Rio Grande tO the Pacific ocean at Tia Juana, near San Diego, into which all for eign merchandise was entered with payment of but a small part of the customs duties. At first 1t was entirely free, then the amount to be paid was fixed at 10 per cent, which was raised afterward to f5 per cent of the total duty When any such merchandise was sent beyond the free zone it paid the remainder of the duty imposed. As great quan- titles of the commodities crossing the line were consumed within the free zone they were sold there nat urally much cheaper-by the amount of the duty unpaid-and the cost of all such merchandise was much cheaper than in the rest of the republic, or on the American side of the line. That worked nat urally a great disadvantage to bor- der cities Matamoras, Laredo, Pied ras Negras, Ciudad Juarez, tEl Paso) Nogales and Tia Juana,- which they are endeavOring to re- gain.

The movements nearly balanced each other In the cases O. the leading issues the changes were small, though gem orally higher. The early advance was characterized by a speculative move ment in copper issues.

 In the late session the market showed sign of weakness, and did not respond to the manipulation in special stocks. The broader outlook however, on the whole was regdr- ded as brighter.
