FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

NEW YORK, July 27.-The stock market today was typical of midsum- mer week ends on exchange, except that the trading was even duller than usual Such trend as the list mani fested at intervals was toward lower prices. while some SpecialtieS moved into the opposite direction. American Tobacco was weakest of the group, with Bethlehem Steel and National Biscuit following close. Of the rail roads, the Hill issues alone showed strength. The Hartman list showed a lack of demand The local money market was weak with the bank state ment showing close to twenty millions reserve above the legal requirements.

The CoIonePs Speech

There are two things to NnlCn we wish to call special attention in the keynote speech of Colonel Roosevelt to be delivered at Chicago on August 3. an outline of which was given to the Associated Press correspondent at oyster Bay on Friday night These matters are not at all connected.
 It was said by the correspondent: He dealt almost entirely with broad. economic problems and gave the inn pression that he will lay emphasis chiefly upon subjects of this nature, which he says both the democratic and the republican platforms have ignored"
 Here is the trouble with all the coloners schemes now and in the past They are too broad, lacking depth. detail and honest purpose. The colonel is general and diffuse and he is moreover like the Bandar Log monkey. always so busy in starting something new and different for the sake of novelty and difference that he has been unable to finish anything; always changing the subject.
 Broad. economic problems" suit the colonel much better than immin- ent. acute problems which must be solved, such as the tariff concerning which MT. Roosevelt has been per h threw his hat into the ring but throughout the seven years of his administration The nice thing about these broad. economic problems is that there is no hurry about their so- tuition: in fact if they are let alone they will solve themselves.
 Breadth with the colonel means a total lack of depth. It is a synonym of indefiniteness. The multitude may think it understands what the colonel means but it does not because the colonel. ordinarily either means noth- ing concerning the subject under dis cussion or else, he does not himself know what he means.
 The other feature of the outline tc which we alIude was the colonel's deprecating remarks concerning the Stanley report on the Steel Corpora ton investigation. recommending the dissolution of that great trust
 We remember time. not so fal
  champion trust buster though the record discIoses that he busted" none Again like the Bandar Log. he was about to do so when the subject was changed and he was away after some thing else. leaving the masses to be lieve. however. that something haC actually been accomplished.
 The colonel according to the out, line of his keynote speech is opposed to the dissolution of trusts but is ir favor of a regulation of them tha will not hurt business. Perhaps i the Steel Trust whose gross violation of the law he openly permitted ant whose representatives are now sup porting him was not under fire, thu colonel, would be as fierce a trus buster as ever
 But the colonel now proposes t regulate them. Regulate" has characteristically broad Rooseveltial meaning, concerning which there i no agreement The colonel once regu lated the Steel Trust when he per mitted it. contrary to the Sherman act to absorb it's rival the Tennesse Coal and Iron company.

Bafninu Boston.

After ten days we were able to find
our way around Boston. but not across
It. If you start to walk out in Boston
you always come back to the place
from which you started unless you try
to; then it is almost impossible.
The transportation is fine, after you
have committed it to memory. The
hospitality of Boston we shall always
remember, but not its street car direc-
tions. A Boston street car acts like a
broncho. You never know whether it
is going through the air like a Bird, un.
der the ground like a mole or beneath
the bay like a fish, The motorman
seems to make up his mind as he goes
along.
The Boston language is sibilant and
stylish. The Boston people love the
soft boiled r." Out west folks pro-
nounce "r'' good deal like a dog
chewing a bone. In Boston they deal
as gently with It as they can, as If It
were not to blame for being in the
language, although it doesn't belong
there.-Horseshoers' Journal.

FIGHTING THE RATEL.
This South African Badger Has a Grip
Like a Bulldog.

( tt't- FNtAf~~h DdudGT f1ao 2fIp
Like Bulldog.
There is a curious long nosed little
creature of South Africa called the
Fatel. which is said to exhibit a most
peculiar method of fighting its human
adversaries. The son Of Britisher in
South Africa who was using for the
first time shotgun had what hardly
could be called an amusing experience
with a ratel.
/ The boy saw the ratel creeping round
an ant hill. He cantered of at a not
very rapid pace, and the boy fred at
easy range. The animal turned heels
over head, much in the same manner
that tame squirrel will disport itself
IN wheel cage. The ratel paused
once, as If in pain, but never took his
eyes on the boy. The lad did not think
OF running, but dubbed his gun and
stood, prepared to meet spring.
II happened that the English boy had
never been told how the ratel fights.
Almost every boy in the veldt knows.
but this lad did not. To wait thus. ex-
pecting leap breasA high. is to give
the ratel exactly the chance he wants.
Hesitating not second, the rateI glid.
ed swiftly in and seized the lads feet.
The boy hacked him with the butt end
OF his gun, kicked at him, shouted his
loudest, but the ratel gnawed away
with the pertinaeity OF a bulldog. At
every blow the creatures teeth closed
like a wise. The boy seized his long
tall, wrenched and twisted it, but the
ratel would not quit his hold.
The struggle lasted for a shorter time
than It takes to tell it. The muscles OF
the lads instep were cut through, and
be tumbled backward-not at full
length. but against an ant hill. This
Circumstance probably saved his life. \
The ratel let go, as it does when its
victim drops, to spring upon the lads
throat and rip his stomach with its
hind claws. But the plucAy boy lifted
himself upon his elbows and lay across
the summit of the mound. That might
oniy have prolonged the struggle. but
his father ran up at the moment. The
boy was many months I'm bed and
many more on crutches.-New York

"HANG THE PRIsoNERsP
An Exclamation That Was Put Into
Effect as an Order.

An Exclamation That Was Put Ints
Effect as an Order
The young laird of Lochnow was a
character in the Scotch camp life OF
pthe early eighteenth century. He was
cool in action and full of fun in daily
life. One day he was detailed to com.
mand burial party and as he stroIled
over the battlefield his orderly came to
him in great perplexity.
"Sir," said he, there is a heap Of fell
lows lying out yonder who say they're
only wounded, and they won't let us
bury them like the rest What shall
we doT"
Bury them at once" replied young
Agnew without moving a muscle Of
his countenance. "for if you take their
word for 1t they won't be dead for a
hundred years to come"
The man saluted and started of in
all simplicity to carry out the order.
and Agnew had to dispatch a counter
order in haste to prevent his joke from
becoming tragedy.
This recalls an 'o'er true" tale OF
border life. Some Galloway moss
troopers were brought before Sir Will
liam Howard, who was an enthusiastic
mathematician He was deep in his
studies when the prisoners were
marched into the castle courtyard. and
lieutenant came running up to get
orders as to their disposal Enraged
at being interrupted, he cried. Hang
the prisoners!" and went on with his
work
He finished his problem and went
down with a cheerful mind only to
learn that his exclamation had been
taken for an order, and the prisoners
were all hanged.
