Going Home for Vacation

- a bit at the thought of going home for vacation.
|, She wants to spend her vacation with her chums. The girls"
have gathered din her room at night and told her of the swell" time
they have at thu shore, or up In the mountains, or at the lake. They
dhate about the young men who dance attendance upon them, upon the
walks, the canoeing, the bathing, the hops; and they openly bewal the
1sct nat b can't go with them. And sometimes she agrees with them
that 1T is mean" that she has to g home and miss all the fun. She knows
o n her vacation.
n mayb making up her mind that she viii write her mother and say
she won't come. she should look a.. the situation a little bit from the home
side Let her try to see the matter with her fathers OIL her mothers eyes.
1t won't be many minutes before she is wishing she could pack up right
away and start
For mother is eagerly reading every letter to see Just when her girl
Is coming. She is watching down the street or road, thinking that maybe
daughter will surprise her. She is mentally going the cakes and
puddngs and pies that her girl especially likes. She is thinking how she
Will mend up III her clothes, because the poor girl doesn't have time to half
take CARGO her things. Every minute of her day Is filled with thoughts of
the daughters Homecoming. And ever in her dreams a night are visions
oft the san happy event.
1t would be a thoughuess OF a heartess girl who would dsappoint
such a mother. There are not many Of the plucky army of bread winners
who would do such a thing.
Nor will the girl who goes home for her vacation lose as much as she
thinks. 1t ca a lot to walk into such a atmosphere of love as awaits
the home-going girl She Will come back to her work better for the
renewal of home ties. She will have hone of that discomfort and dis
satisfaction that often fills the girl who comes back from som crowded
resort. Instead, knowing that the eyes Of the home folks are 0 her, she
will be inspired to greater efforts. she will have higher ambitions, she will
which she has een surrounded, will make her better able physically ito do
her work than II she had worn herself out with the gayety OF a summer
resort.
SO the girl who knows that her mother wants her to come home for
her vacation should lot think she ID a much abused person. Rather, she
should retoics that she has = homo an. love awaiting her. and she should
likewise be thankful that 1t Is in hr power to bring 10 much brightness
Into her mothers life.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A STRONGER TONE.
At Times Yesterday Market Showed
 Signs of Buoyancy.

New York, August 1.-Dealings in stocks today were more Ict1ve, the dis tr1but1on wider and le tone stron- ger than in any rece 1t session. At times especially in the first hour, when transactions aggregated almost 100000 shares, the market assumed an air approaching buoyancy, which was temporarily arrested by profit taking. In the final hour, following the declaration of the regular dividend on St. Paul common, activity was re- sumed and higher prices were estab- lished.
 The movement today derived no small part of its impulse from abroad. London sending over a list of general advances, led by Canadian Pacific That stock opened here with new high record and a gain of four points, while practically all the speculative favorites were up point or more. A few specialtfes shared in the rise which was most significant, however, in the fact that it had it's leadership in the standard railway shares, partic- ularly those comprised in the north west. Steel held it's place in respect of activity, and sold at its best price in several weeks. Today's gains took in practically every issue of known merit, as well as many of the more obscure securities.
 The action of the St Paul directors could hardly have been based upon financial returns, which have been dis couraging, so Wall street interpreted the report of the regular dividend as an indication that the very powerful interests controlling that system are hopeful of the immediate future. a feature which probably has its basis on the crop outlook.
 Various important railways publish ed earnings today for June those ot the Pennsylvania system being most favorable, but without effect upon its stock. New York Central, Atchison and Atlantic Coast line also made material net increases.
 Bonds were dull, with gains in con- vertfble issue. Total sales par value aggregated $2, 2,142,000.

JOE WOOD GOOD ]
 FOR TEN MORE YEARS.
Brilliant Young Red so& Twirier
 Shows no Signs of Weakening.
He will not last.

He will not last.
 That's what they said about Joe Wood when he entered the ranks of the big leaguers They, said he would not be able to stand the gaH of big league pitching for moro than & couple of years, and yet this Is bis fourth full season with the Red Sux, and he seems to be just about as good as there is in the country in the hurlfng line.
 Is there a player, with years ahead of him as a player, that you had ra- ther have working for you if you were a baseball manager than the same young Joe Wood?
 He Is grand player in every de- partment of the game hitting, field ing and pitching.
 The reason they thought Joe would not last (that's no jokel is because he has a snap position You fans all know how he slings the ball and there is no need of describing that motion.
 The snap at the last. just before the ball is let go, is 8 strain on the young heavers arm. but Wood is a re- markaible young man.
 Although his arm is numb for A hours after he pitches game, he does not weaken in the slightest, and every year has more speed and better Strikeout record.
 He does not look as strong and rug ged as some of the other big line pitchers. but at that he tips the gcale5 at a little over 1s0 and Is as hard as nails all the time.
 He will be pitching when he ts S2 years old in big league, and that will be 10 years from now.

Cleveland, Ohio. August 1.-The rich Ohio stake of s5.000. the classic of the North Randall track, was won to- day by Baden, black son of Gingara, in three straight heats. The Jersey City horse was. driven by Rodney. While he easily defeated his field, the best time he showed, 2.07 IA, did not approach the mark for the classic.
 Rodney was presented the silver cup that goes with the event by President K. H. Devereaux.
 Baden was a distinct surprise. the talent having fancied Chatty Direct as the most likely to win first money. The mare sold against the field $50 to $40 before the first heat and was heay- fly played It is said that more than $10,000 was bet on the race. The mare finished second, the Wanderer third and Elizabeth Ray fourth.
 Billy Burke, under the guidance of Mcdonald, won the championship trot- tinlz sweepstakes, with $1,000 added money, in a performance marked for It's competition against time rather than starters
 Straight heat winners were the rule of the day. Annie Kohl having shown clean pair of heels in two heats of the 2.20 trot, Baron A. having shown straight in the 2.14 pace and WydTad having taken the POT pacing event by nosing out Don in the first heat, show ing a wonderful burst of speed in the stretch in the second
