Foreign Depression a Factor.

Standard stocks. which have been I'M
affected of late by liquidation of various
low-priced issues, seemed more sensitive
today to adverse influences, and al
though there was little pressure against
the list such business as was done was
at the expense of quoted values.
. Reports from Europe indicated renewed
depression had come over the foreign
.markets and some reflection of this feel
.ng was visible from the outset here.
Failure of yesterdays rise to- create
: public interest in the market discouraged
b,fllish activity.
Bonds were irregular.
Suspension of the forenoon selling did
not help the list. Speculation became
stagnant and stocks showed mo recupera-
tive power when pressure stopped.
Moderate buying orders made their APP
pearance for the Harrimans and ,coAfers
and the. market in general stiffened.
Lack of detailed inform alton regarding
the continued fall in st. Louis and San
Francisco stocks and bonds curbed ag-
rressive builish operations.

Do You Whistler

''There are few more unloyely char
acters than the man that whistles"
was the frank confession of Harlem
graybeard. yet can't help feeling
sorry for him.
mot more than one man In a hun
dred that, whistles on the street OF in
other public places can carry an air
or has my idea OF music; therefore
Is efforts are nerve-racking. Most
whistlers never fail to whistle when
on their way home late at night, there
by numbering sleep. Most milkmen
wake people at an unreasonable hour
In the morning by whistling.
j. "Whistling is chiefly inspired by
contentment or high spirits-and it's
pleasing to know that so mapy< are
conditioned thus happily. Bu Sery
man that whistles makes every saaer
person within hearing distance un-
happy while he is at It. Which is q
great pity and hardship."-New York

New Ensland's ADVANTAGE.

Here is how the spirits of the wise
sit in the clouds and mock us. Even
at the risk OF arousing western preju.
dice, maintain that New England
and all broken, hilly, rocky countries
have a decided advantage over re.
gions of great fertility, in that human
stupidity and mole-eyed greed can
never wholly divest them Of forests
that their sterile crags and steep &C.
elivities must mainly be-left to wood

Brief Holiday.
Joy is like a bird in flight, which
dips In its passing and touches us
with its wings. 1t comes from out Of
far country and 1t tracks its way
on high. After that brief lowering
1t will recover its former attitude, its
speed, and song. It's throbbing heart
passes high over our throbhing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that fight ofSuntrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blitheness and teach It to
dwell among men. Why should It
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide so fixedly that It
would become peace. The holiday
season Is like that. 1t stoops for
q little out of space. draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its brightness
among men. AS swiftly as it came, so
swiftly 1t goes again. And yet each
year 1t draws more close and stays
for longer time;, It's radiance is re-
vealed to us more clearly, full of
grace and truth.-Collier' Weekly.
