United States steel recovered some uI
the ground lost in the hnaI days Of
the present movement were also made
by RcadinG and Union Pacific but i,
is noteworthy that the railway stocks
whole were far less consp!cuou.
and strong than the other group.
The further rise in the metal stocks
was concurrent with another advance
In the price OF the metal. which was
quoted at Ii IS to 10 cents per pound.
10 what extent the heavy advances in
copper metal is justiied by actual CON
uitions remains dcuataplc queslion,
various industries in which copper
plays such an important part now are
enjoying greater degree ui prosperity
than they nave known at any period
in the last two years. That mucn
can hardly be said of the steel and
iron industry, which Is less active al

construction of the hail and without
the credit extended by Turner Adolph
Setter, which enabled us to secure
the necessary material for building,
the completion of the hall would have

the first receipts of the Society and.
recommend that the new board of
trustees to be elected, take cognizance
of this arrangement. .a s~

of the outstanding accounts have been

The Ethics of Giving

A society has been started in the
metropolis, under prominent social
leadership, the praiseworthy object OF
which is to put a stop to foolish and
useless Christmas giving. A club has
been organized called the "Spug''
club, the members of which are vowed
never again to give a Christmas gift
which is not offered with whole
heart.
The more immediate work of the
club is to protect working girls
against enforced giving, to enable
them to resist the insidious approach
of the circulator of subscription
list for the purpose of buying a pres
ent for some one "higher up" in the
establishment where the girl may be
working.
Such requests are often little better
than mandate to "stand and deliver. -
The girl who single-handed might
not have the courage to refuse, would
be materially strengthened in refusal
by strong organization behind her
But such demands upon purses none
too we'll supplied are not the most ex,
hausting of the Christmas season
The habit of giving at this season
spreads like a ripple ON the water In
many cases it is simply system OF
mental bookkeeping, of debts and
credits. The social obligations and
the indebtedness for past favors arc
all nicely figured out, paid in the best
manner possible, and create an ever
widening circle of new obligations.
The Christmas giving which pro
ceeds from the heart and which does
not cripple the financial resources o,
the donor is very pretty custom
and should by no means be done ava,
with or discarded But it is we'll t
call halt upon forced and mere
commercial exchange giving.
An acceptable Christmas gift is sea
sOned more by love than by value
When the heart is taken out of tn
rcustom by mere selfshness and con
lventionality, it is custom bette
honored in the breach than in the OF
servance.-Minneapol Tribune.
