that It is worth. And he is full of
happy conceits and surprising effects,
as in his drawing OF the frightened

The education Of the backbone of the
nation to-day was received in no incon
siderable measure from the pages of
the old Saint Nicholas Magazine"
And in the faculty Of that institution
of learning, for more years than one
would think to look at him to-day, Mr..
Herford has had an honored chair In
deed so much does American culture
owe him that we can hardly conceive
of scheme Of things educational with
out him. 1t Is highly gratifying to find
ing holiday season would be sadly in
complete without "The Jingle-Jungle
Book" The thought has sometimes
come to us that If Mr.. Herford were a
Continental artist more would be made
over here of his art" Instead Of re-
gardlng him simply as a funny man,
might it not be possible to think of
him In the same breath with, say,
Caran dAche or Boutet de Monvel?
He has, you know. in those pictures of
his a very great deal Of style. And as
a jingleist he has a quite literary quail
ity. Each rhyme has a something
which preserves 1t fresh beyond the
mere moment thereof. His Jokes have
flavor, as the jokes in Punch have
in contrast TO most Of our American
magazine fun, which makes them pc
rennially entertaining.
Mr.. Shaver's sketches Of the little
shavers" of New Yorks East Side are
not without sympathy and humor,
but he is a long. long way from his
master, Phil May.

that according to this clever man the

Another Thackeray Original.
A passage in the recently published
Clarendon papers suggests to an Eng
Iish commentator that OMeara, the
biographer of Napoleon, may have fur
nished Thackeray with the original
idea Of Barry Lyndon. O'Meara much
impressed a wealthy old Lady Leigh
with an appearance Of uncommon
youthful piety, and ended by making
her acquaintance in church. The
widows son got her down into the
country and kept her there some
months. Then O'Meara came again
ipon the scene. and the marriage fol-
lowed.
A Story Of Bismarck.
A story of Bismarcks brutality is told
in this Clarendon biography--a story
which testifies to the English diplo-
mats ability. Clarendon's daughter
Lady Emily Russell, in 1871 sat at
party in Berlin beside the despotic
German. when he suddenly said to her:

showed a natural feeling at this

NEW YORK LETTER

NEW ISNN LC ZEN
New York, March 14.-Because
Mrs. Szatners and her son don't
speak; the Big Sisters Association Of
Queens County is going to find a
home for the son, Francis, aged Ii.
The funny part of it is that Francis
and his mother are not on bad terms
at all. They would like to converse,
but they can't. Mrs. Szatners is
Lithuanian. Her first husband, Fran
els father, died eleven years ago,
and the woman put her baby in a
children's home in Brooklyn. There
the boy grew up. He learned to speak
and write English, and forgot the
Lithuanian tongue entirely.
His mother married another Lithu-
anian. Neither of them speaks any
English, and when they took the boy
home with them, four months ago,
they found themselves unable to talk
with them except by making signs.
The mother brought Francis into the
children's court in Brooklyn, to ask
the judge what to do about it, and
the Big Sisters got her to agree to
let them provide home for the boy
among English-speaking people.
A Broadway express pulled along
side the uptown subway platform at
Fourteenth street. The hour was 6
p. m. and the waiting mob charged
on every door of the train.
A little old woman in a black dress
came tearing down fight of steps

for the nearest door, into which some
Is or 20 men were trying to jam
themselves. In her hand was a stout
umbrella, and with it she belabored
upon their backs the men on the OUT
skirts of this mob. AS they jumped
aside, the little old woman advanced,
continuing to thump those in her
way.
A final handful at the door barred
her passage, and she got through
them by the simple process of grab
bling them by their coat collars and
thrusting them aside. Once inside
the train, she glared through steel
trimmed spectacles at another woman
who had watched her tumultuous en-
trance.

can during the heated period The
poultry market is in much better con-

lower than at any time this season.
For the first time in nearly three
weeks the fish market had change in
quotations. Mackerel prices were yes
terday 124Ac. 1t is said that there is
slight scarcity of this fish in the
local market, but no apprehension is
felt
Business in the produce market yes
terday was only fair. Prices are on
the upgrade and the vegetable supply
is limited. Lemons are now selling
at $7.50@S and the supply is none
too great. Irish potatoes were slightly
lowered yesterday, and are selling at
80 cents to 81.
The grain market Is having only fair
business. but prices are firm, and there
is d probability of a rising market in
the near future.
Business in the meat market is flour

Prices Show Tendency to

New York, June 19.--The cotton mar

day with prices showing a tendency to
ease off, owing to a favorable view of
new crop conditions, but with suffi-
Client support around the ring to accuse
of the rallies. The close was steady
at a net decline of / to points.
The opening was steady at decline
of to points in response to lower
cables, over night selling orders and re-

pean connection. Weather con-
ditions were considered gener-

some southern selling here under which
prices eased off to net loss of about
to 10 points during the morning.
rms carried October contracts off to
ll.49c and a this price there were
indications that some of the people
with European connections who had
been sellers for profits here, pre-
vlously were beginning to rebuy, The
support from this source, combined
with an increased demand from local
oulis and covering by early sellers
rallied the market during the middle
or the day with the active months re-
covering to about the closing figures
OF last night. Reports that boil wee

some scattering complaints of excessive
temperatures in the eastern belt helped
the rally, but offerings later showed
continued tendency to take profits
on long cotton and closing prices were

BOUNT|FUL RETURNS |
FROM KANSAS FIELD !
Wheat Sent Down Following
Splendid Harvest-L0ss
l 1-8c to l lac Net

Chicago June 19.-Bountiful returns
from harvest fields in Kansas, where
farmers thought the wheat crop almost
ruined a fortnight ago, sent the market
today decidedly down grade. The close

Corn finished sc to ssQ&c off and oats
at a decline of shade to h4Ssc In pro-
visions the outcome varied from last
nights level to an upturn of 15c.
Cutting of wheat was general today all
over Kansas and little cutting has also
been done in Nebraska. The yields re-
ported were surprising. Advices from
acre and the grain was said to be heavier
as the cutters worked north. In addition,
the bears had notices that the Missouri
crop would be of record size, largely Off
setting any loss ip Kansas.
Good rains in North Dakota and less
pessimistic tidings from South Dakota
gave early disbursement to bulls. When
this condition was emphasized by fear
of big shipments of new grain the re-
sulting weakness became SO pronounced
that the sale of 100000 bushels of cash
wheat here failed to check the decline
in futures. More than half of the amount,
too was for export.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and -four
equaled $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts

Official reports of continued drouth
started the corn market sharply higher,
but later private advices of fair rains in
sections of Illinois, and the southwest
caused a break.
Selling from the large elevator COM
panies overcame an excited buying furry
in oats. Unfavorable crop reports from
important producing states were what
stimulated the desire to purchase.
Provisions were mainly affected by an
advance In the price of hogs. Offerings
remained scanty until fair improvement
