best represent the great pathfinder" APP
parently 1t was face that changed. At
the request of his publisher, John Murray,
he once sat for his portrait to Henry
Phillips. and. when the picture was fin-
ished. he said to Mrs. Murray: II don't
much like 1t; 1t makes me look a great
deal too stern" She replied: L have
seen your face look very much like that,
DIR. Livingstone" The last letter he
ever wrote to Mr.. Murray came from
Central Africa few weeks before his
death. With a postscript: Please tell
Mrs Murray that I have seen my face,
for the first time In many months, in
Lake Tanganyika. and 1t Is very like
the portrait"

Stock Demand Falls Off.

The demand for stocks fell off to a
marked extent this week. and there was
little evidence of the pronounced strength
of the preceding fortnight. Traders were
cautious and stocks fiuctuated in an un-
certain way, with increasing heartiness
as the week progressed.
The converting Of Congress to revise
the tariff had the effect of slowing down
speculation, traders not wishing to enter
upon fresh ventures on an extensive
scale until there were more definite indi-
cations as to the probable course OF
events at Washington.
Large offerings Of stock and bond is
sues also depressed the market. In addi-
ton to the issues arranged for 1t was UNI
derstood that further applications for
capital were pending.
