had been unlocked from the carriage

rushed into the street and managed to
bring the fleeing steed to halt. Ex-

in the wake of the wingless

horse started from somewhere on the |

Transfers from Charles Flanders
cedar grove in Orange came to the city
to-day with three large loads of extra
long cedar poles which form a part OF a
contract the lumberman is filling for
the Consolidated Lighting Co. The poles |
average some thirty feet in length, al |
though the longest measured close to
forty-five feet. In the three loads there I
were twenty-four poles and the team
sters considered that two dozen were !
enough for any six horses in the vicin-
ity of Orange. Absence of snow has
seriously retarded the work OF hauling |
the poles to this city and the owner of
the cedar lot was at last compelled to
transfer the entire contract on wheels.

Women Are Not Domestic

Women are not by nature domestic.
They do not belong In their homes any
more than birds belong in the cages
where they have been imprisoned. They
are there for the same reason-causht and
put in and trained to service some thou
sands of years ago by men who chose
them slngly for this purpose, says a
writer in the Saturday Evening Post. The
proof that they have never really set
tied down willingly is that they have to
this day no Initiative about living in q.
house. They have never invented a sin
gle thing necessary to tighten the labor of
the home. Every device known In the
modern establishment for comfort or con-
venience was invented by man. Women
have been trained merely to do what is to
be done which ever way they are told to
do 1t. They are of all creatures In this
world the widest, the least capable OF
exercising the genius of civilization, be-
cause people in bondage never have the
liberty of mind necessary to develop any
kind of genius.
do not know IL men are to be praised
or blamed for this situation. Certainly
they not only have the advantage In
strength, but they have made the world
what II is, written all the Scriptures, de-
fined all the virtues for their own con-
venience, even set the I ord himself up
to be feared and served more particularly
by women with their heads modestly COW
cred, while they continue to hob-nob op-
portunity with the easier devil It has
all been very shrewdly managed, and
doubtless for the best. But I say we. the
women, are not what we were made to
be. We are merely the trained automa-
tons of an order of things we did not In

COTTON IS LITTLE
ACTIVE But STEADY
Active Months Sell About 13
to II Points Above Those
of Yesterday

New York, November 12.-The cot
ton market was less active today but
showed a generally steadier tone With
active months selling about 13 to IT
points above yesterdays closing figures
on covering. scattered trade buying
and support from bullish sources. The
close was or points off from the
best under realizing but steady and
from to IS points net higher.
Liverpool did not fully meet yester-
days local decline and first prices here
were steady 1 point lower to higher.
Private cables attributed the steadi-
ness of Liverpool to small offerings and
a moderate trade demand, and very
much the same situation appeared to
exist in the local market. At any rate
prices soon sold some IL to 13 points
net higher on covering by recent sell
lers who apparently found very little
cotton offering. Good weather was re-
ported in the south except for freez-
ing temperatures at a few points In
the eastern belt and there seemed
nothing to interfere with ginning of
the movement, while during the middle
of the day good many private wires
were received here from southern
points which claimed that there was a
poor spot demand and that offerings
were becoming heavier. These advices
failed to create any aggressive selling
pressure. however. and reactions were
limited. After the close 1t was rumored
that ocean freight room had been en-
gagged for the shipment of about 10000
bales from the local stock which now
amounts to considerably under that fig
ure, suggesting that shipments here
from the south have already been pro-
vided with an outlet and the situa-
tion in this respect may have helped
the afternoon advance, although De-
cember contracts did not fully main
tain their premiums. and November
continued to sell at a discount.

Chicago, November 12.-Heavy rains

ished shade off to lfc up. In proyi-
sions the outcome varied from last
nights level to 12hc advance.
Wheat spectators who had been the
most active buyers yesterday put lib
eral offerings today on a sagging mar
ket Cordova, Buenos Ayres and the
Pampas ali sent word that the drouth
was broken. Liquidating sales, how
ever, were checked by resting commis-
sion orders before any serious furry
developed.
Rallying power showed itself best
after Winnipeg sent word of a reduced
estimate on the Canadian crop and
gave figures to indicate the huge
amount already moved. 1t was said
that more than 70 per cent was off the
farms. There also were late cables
asserting that the Argentine rains
were insufficient.

market suffered break early as a re-
suit of fine weather and weak cables.
Subsequent firmness was helped by
signs that shipping call for old corn
had considerably improved. A few big
traders gathered in all the oats of
which scattered longs let go. The in
vestors ignored liberal stocks In Chi
cago and elsewhere, as well as the
chances of big imports from Canada.
Buying on the part of a leading pack
er who was said to have been operat-
ing on the short side of the market
tended to cause an upturn in provi-
sions. Serious prevalence of hog chol-
era throughout the best corn produce
ing states attracted increased atten-
tion.

WHOLESALE TRADE
CONTINUES BRISK
Weather Has Stimulated De-

Adequate

Business on Morris avenue continues
to maintain the high standard of brisk
ness that was set some two weeks ago.
The demand is very active and with
few exceptions the supply in keeping.
Prices are generally normal and there
is little upward tendency, with the ex-
ception of eggs and cotton seed hulls.
Produce dealers say that business is
getting more brisk every day and give
the cold weather the credit. They say
that the cold snap has had a stimulat-
ing effect upon the demand and the
supply is adequate.
In the fish market there is a heavy
demand for oysters and snapper. The
market is we'll supplied with snapper
and a carload of oysters was reported

TALKS ON THRIFT

ECONOMY whether public or private,
means the wise management of labor; and
it means it mainly in three senses:
Namely. first, applying your labor ra-
tionally; secondly, preserving It's produce
carefully: lastly, distributing its produce
."-Ruskin.
1t Is human nature to dream of success.
Some persons turn visions into realities.
Others keep on dreaming. In the matter
of getting ahead In the world financially,
systematic saving is the most practical
method of turning dreams into actualities.
The savings habit will increase your. in
come, provide for your future, establish
your credit. enhance your daily comforts
promote your general prosperity, and give
you better outlook on life.
Notwithstanding all these advantages
of saving many persons will not save
unless in some way they are compelled
to do so.
For instance, If you are buying your
own home and have monthly payments to
meet, you will take care of them first be-
fore you spend all your income In other
ways. Or If you have life insurance to
keep up you will not take chances by let
ting the date for payment slip by without
taking care of that obligation.
1t is possible to put yourself in a posi-
ton where you will feel that you owe a
savings bank account at least a certain
amount every week or every month. And
compelling yourself to maintain such a
systematic. plan of thrift will be a good
thing for you in every way. The results
at the end of a year will surprise you il
you have never tried this plan before.
The instalment plan of home building or
home furnishing works best when the in
stalments are first paid into a savin q
bank account. Then cash and the interest
earnings increase your buying power
When you buy first and save afterward
you are. burdened with the interest you
have to pay, in addition to the purchase
price.
Regular and systematic saving helps
you to resist the temptation to ill-advised
spending, and IT develops the capacity oil
turning the capital saved into remunera.
