BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Speak well of thy neighbor or not
at ALL
Not long ago I had the pleasure of
meeting a man who had been travel
ing for many years as the ships doc
tor on one of the coastwise steamers.
1t seemed to me that in the double
capacity of doctor and traveller he
must have met many unusual people.
So one day 1 asked him to tell me
about some of them.
We'll Miss Cameron he said.
there was a party of four who sat at
my table two trips ago that beat any
thing I ever struck. Now maybe you
won't believe this, but sat there with
that time l never heard one of those
people say a good word about any
body. They raked everybody on the
boat fore and aft, made fun of them,
talked scandal about them and ran
them down generally. They had
steward on the ship, and what they
said about each other when any of
them was rash enough to leave the
table first, was a caution"
The other day I received a letter
from one of my letter friends and
promptly thought Of the ships doctor.
Some day will you please write
something to suit such individuals as
this?" requested my correspondent.
Il am going to give you actual con-
dividual is my next door neighbor. I
was out one morning watching for the
postman. My neighbor was on sim
liar errand at her front door. A styl-
ish looking woman, with whom l have
since become acquainted and found TO
be a model housewife, passed by. 1
remarked to my neighbor on the
pleasing effect of her costume. Don't
you think it is awfully loud? 1 don't
believe she is much good either she
said, L wouldn't say a word of harm
about the woman for the world, but
have seen things that didn't look
just right to me-
Just then a neighbor passed draw
ing some chicken feed in a child's
wagon. She had been to the market
and gotten it cheaper. Look at that
said my neighbor, Z think I would be
through the street
@ Did you know Mrs. c. had gone to

Mrs. C?-Pm afraid I don't know
her. Don't you remember-that
woman who went up the aisle at

could keep this up indefinitely, but
have some regard for your time"
My letter friend suggests that I
write something condemning these
I don't see much need of it. Do
you?
1t seems to me they are self con-
demned. No one who doesn't belong
to their ranks has any use for them,
and even those who do, talk about
them behind their backs, for there is
no honor among character thieves.
But one thing 1 do suggest. Condi-
tons like these have a beginning.
These people weren't always as bad
as that. They must have gradually
grown worse. Now hadn't you and
I better see to it that we never
never make the first start towards {
such a beginning?

BUSINESS CONDITIONS SCUM

I
At last the stock market, which is
accepted by many as the barometer
to the trade and financial conditions
throughout the country, has begun to
respond to the influence of the better
business conditions that have been
prevailing for some time now and the
certain approach of a fine prosperity.
Notwithstanding these signs that were
to be seen on all sides during the
past few weeks, the stock market has
continued in something of a fit of
the blues. But it is coming out of
them in good shape.
I'VE have had another week of inn
proved undertone in the stock mar
ket," writes Henry Clews, the New
York banker, in his current weekly
financial review; and he continues:
Prices for active shares now show a
satisfactory advance compared with
previous low prices, and the reaction
which began Wednesday though in
duced by temporary stringency in call
money was no surprise. The money
market is now an important factor in
stock market operations. Mercantile
demands are becoming more and more
insistent Earlier representations as
to an active fall trade are now being
fulfilled. In all parts of the country
business is becoming daily more and
more active. The railroads are over
taxed in bringing present crops to
market, and it will be some weeks
before present congestion is overcome.
The arrivals of grain at some of the
interior points are beyond all prece-
dent. AS yet cotton and corn have
hardly begun to move, these crops be-
ing the last to ripen. Thus far there
has been little injury of consequence
to either of these crops, which of
course means a heavy movement later
on One of the most encouraging
features is the satisfactory increases
in gross earnings reported for August
by many prominent systems Sep
TENDER and October returns are sure
to be even more satisfactory. Our
great Industrial establishments are
running on full time, particularly the
steel industry, and many Of these
concerns are likely to close the cal
endar year with much better balance
sheets than year ago. Labor is well
there being an assured de-
mand for willing hands in almost
every line of employment at good
wages. In short, business conditions
from the Atlantic to the Pacific are
eminently sound and satisfactory.
Political conditions are also improv-
ing. Discomfort is disappearing,
largely owing to the more satisfactory
state of commerce and industry. The
wide and insistent calls of the politi-
clans who wish to be N the limelight
are happily losing their effect, the
public being weary of agitation. Po-
IiticaI scares are possible between
now and election day, but the dispo-
sition to ignore the politician is more
pronounced today than at any time
in the last two years. Hysteria at
present belongs exclusively to the
politician. The average man has been
thinking. He has about decided for
whom he will vote next November
and now wishes to be let alone and
get to work"

Paul Booker, formerly Of Grand

from the line and about the same dis

While Pierson is not in the heart
of the country where the revolution
lists hold sway. enough of the turmoil
was felt in Pierson to make things
decidedly unpleasant.
Rebels appeared at Pierson and
often made demands Of the storkeep-
ers for supplies. According to Mr..
Secord it was dangerous to refuse
them.
