Once upon a time there lived a
king who had three sons, two OF
whom were bright youths. but the
youngest never had anything to say
for himself, SO he was set down by
every one as a simpleton.
Years went on, and the king felt
himself growing old. and he thought
II was time to decide which of his
sons was to succeed him.
This was not so easy, so he told
the youths that whoever should bring
him the most beautiful carpet should
he his heir, and, lest they should ali
want to 20 In the same direction and
quarrel. he went up to the roof OF the
nalace and blew three feathers up Ia
the air. saying:
"As they fly, thither shall you fol-
low"
One feather few east. another
west. and the third went in straight
line between the two for little way
and then fell suddenly TO the ground.
so one brother went east, ana
another west, and poor DUNN ing
was left to follow the third feather
which had gone no distance at ALL
whereat his brothers were mucn
amused.
Dummling sat down beside MS
feather. feeling very sad and dole
full and he was Just thinking that
all chance OF the kingdom was d.
an end for him, when he discovered
that all the time he was staring at
a trapdoor In the ground. He lifted
IL. and found steps leading down
into the earth, 80 he went down the
sta,rs till he came to a door. and
then he knocked,
Immediately he heard voice
singing

FEW YORK. April a.-Stocks acted
~ tired today. The close was not
VI materially lower. but trading
i lacked snap. All the reasons
for advancing prices seem
10 ne known and the public is beginning
10 demand something new. The coal
mine labor situation has been robbed OF
It's speculative value because IL has de-
terloratcd into a mere holiday for the
miners Professional traders vainly I'm
aeine they have discounted all the good
news regarding business and crops. So
perhaps they will get the reaction that
is so long overdue,
would seenl reckless TO say reaction
cannot come, but as matter OF fact
there was nothing In the action OF the
list today that was not the proper thing
for a Tuesday In a bull campaign. Not
