When pa was my age he was glad
To do just as they told him;
He never made his parents sad,
They never had to scold him;
He never, never disobeyed,
Nor punched his little brother.
And day and night he always made
Things pleasant for his mother.
When pa was my age he would clean
His shoes when they were muddy;
He never thought his folks were mean
Because they made him study;
He always tried his best to be
For goodness celebrated,
md he was praised by all-but, gee!
How pas degenerated!

The Sea GUT.
The woods are full of merry minstrelsy;
Glad are the hedges with the notes of
spring;
But DER the sad and uncompanioned sea
No love-Iorn voices ring.
Gray mariner of every ocean cline.
If I could wander on as sure wing.
Or beat with yellow web thy painless sea,
I, too, mighE cease to sing.
Would l could share thy silver flashing
sWoop.
Thy steady poise above the bounding
deep,
Or buoyant float with thine instructive
trust
Rocked In a dreamless sleep!

Too Bio an Insult,

Angrily the head of the haberdash-
cry concern stormed into the employ
ment agency and demanded an inter
view with the manager.
Il understand" he said, that you
have been recommending as Al col
lectors certain young men whom you
represent as having collected money
from US. If they can get it from US,
they can get it from anybody That's
the way you make it appear, con
sequently your clients land good Jobs. y
With visions of possible libel suits
rising before his guilty conscience,
the agent attempted seli-justificatoin.
You are considered pretty hard
nuts. you know" he SAID
oh, that's all right said the
man. 1T amt that I'm kicking about
but not one of your men has ever col
lected a dollar at our shop, and it
don't do any good to lie about it. -

WEATHER HAS LITTLE
EFFECT ON COTTON
Market Opens Steady With
Prices One to Four
Points Up

New Orleans, MarSh 17-Cold weather
over the south had little effect on the
cotton market on the opening session of
the week, although it was generally con-
sidered to be an unfavorable feature of
Importance Fear was felt for young cot
ton in the earliest sections of Texas. but
beyond moderate buying in the early
trading. the day saw no operations of
importance tending toward higher prices.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were to 4 points up. This was
the highest of the day. At no tifhe We're
bulls aggressive. Shorts were nervous in
the morning session., but gained conf
dence later owing to the absence of bull
attacks. The forecast of fair and warm
er weather for the entire belt also helped
the bear side, especially as it was fol-
lowed by reports from the belt to the
effect that farm work was again under
way as the result Of dry weather. In the
afternoon the market was forced 5 to I
points under Saturdays last quotations.
The close was steady at the lowest Level
of the day.
The lack of active trading was gener-
ally ascribed to the fact that this will
be a short week, all markets closing
Thursday night. Moreover, the census
bureau will issue its final report on
ginning Thursday morning. This Is an
important report and. both sides have
adopted a waiting attitude pending it.

PRICES co LOWER
IN STOCK MARKET
Foreign Selling Here, Con.
tinuance of High Money
Rates All Unfavorable

New York, March 17.-Although the
stock market at no time today was SUBJ
jected to severe pressure, and dealings
were slow, prices once more went lower.
Abandonment of the plan for segregation
of the Hartman properties, depression ef
the European markets, foreign selling
here, engagement OF s2,O0O.OOO more gold
for export to France and continuance of
high money rates were all unfavorable.
Wide fluctuations of the Hartman
shares were forecasted by what happened
in the London market before the opening
here.
Union Pacific fell nearly points and
Southern Pacific advanced about as much,
the latter stock rising ON the belief that
the company would fare better with a
new dissolution plan than under the
abandoned one. At the opening here the
Hartman stocks moved less widely than
abroad. Southern Pacific soon lost its
initial decline of 1 point, and Union Pa
cific sold 2ss below Saturdays close. Lon
don selling here estimated at 1900
srares, was one of the principal causes of
the markets weakness. The effect of
the unexpectedly good bank settlement of
last week was partly offset by the further
engagement of gold for export
Liquidation of New Haven continued,
the price falling to 114ls, loss of Az
points and a new low record. Goodrich
touched 29, also a new low price for the
decline and drop of points.
The petroleum shares Central Leather,
Woolworth. Rumeley and some other spe-
cialties were weak. The bond market was
depressed. Total sales par value, $l,601,-
600. United States bonds on call were un-
changed.

PRICES SAG AFTER
FAIR BEGINNING
Cotton Comparatively Quiet
Closing at Net Decline of
4@6 Points

New York, March 17.-The cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet again today
but prices sagged off after a fairly steady
start and closed steady at net decline
of 4a6 points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points in response to higher
cables than expected and renewal OF
arbitrage buying. The weather map
showed low temperatures in the south.
but generally clear conditions following
the heavy rains of last week and the
prospects were for continued fair and
more seasonable weather tomorrow. This
may have encouraged some of the local
selling which had been held in check
last week by talk of delayed farm work,
but its influence was offset to some ex-
tent by the long range forecast for re-
newed wet weather before the end of
the week, while early advices from the
south indicatd continued steadiness in
the spot markets. At any rate offerings
did not become heavy during the morning,
and after reacting to about the closing
figures of Saturday the market ruled
fairly steady until shortly after midday
when selling was more active following
reports from Berlin that a furtfpsr delay
was apprehended in Balkan peace nego-
tiations
In the absence of any important sup
port the selling proved sufficient to send
the market to net loss of or points,
and the close was at practically the low
est, although steadied by covering some
of early sellers Private wires received
here from an Arkansas spot firm reported
that Liverpool correspondents had cabled
that their importing season was abso-
lutely closed, and this may have had
some influence on the late break. Ian
cashire and Liverpool are both supposed
to be well supplied with raw material
and most predictions of any material
improvement in export demand have been
based on expectations of a revival on
the continent following a settlement of
the Balkan war.

CLOSE NERVOUS IN
THE WHEAT MARKET
All Other Leading Staples
Show Firmness-CrOp
Report Is Good

Chicago. March 17.-Assertions that the
United States has larger surplus of
wheat than there can be any possibility of
finding a European market for before July
l. sent prices today to new low level
for the year.
The market closed nervous, Ad5sc to
1sc net lower.
All the other leading staples showed
frmness. corn finishing 1sal4c higher than
Saturday night oats a shade off to a
like amount up and provisions unchanged
to an advance of Sc.
Estimates were current that interior ele-
vator and mill stocks of wheat are 29,Ooo
900 bushels more than last year, farm re-
serves 34000,000 bushels more, and enough
increases in the visible to make the total
100000 bushels in excess of the ag-
gregate supply Il months back. This
was declared to mean that the United
States could export s0,000,000 bushels il
there were foreign buyers for that
amount, prior to the coming in of the
new crop. Though prices gave way under
British arguments it was seen after sew
eral hours bullish control had been trans
ferred
Flattering reports of the crop south
west helped to turn sentiment in favor of
a decline. and so also did the slaclxness
of call for cash wheat at Minneapolis and
Kansas City. Large worlds shipments also
had an influence. Seaboard clearances of
wheat and flour equalled 10000 bushels.
Primary receipts of wheat were 1,239,00
bushels, compared with $4,000 one year
ago. In spite of the weakness of wheat
corn held steady because of covering by
shorts on account Of a forecast for un-
settled weather
Oats hardened because of belief that
O. reaction was due after a continuous
break for almost one week. Light run of
hogs at nearly all packing centers ga e
iirmness to the provision list. The mar
ket also was helped by the small stocks
on hand in packing houses as shown by
the semi-monthly statement.

TRADING IS BRISK
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Decline in Meat Prices While
Fruits Go Up-Rains
Affect Shipments

With the return of cool weather brisk
trading on the wholesale markets was in
evidence yesterday. There were few
changes in prices outside of meats and
fruits. Meats went down and the prices
on all kinds of fruits went up. Bananas
are especially scarce. and the price has
gone way up fer this time of the year.
Another thing that is affecting the sup
ply for Morris avenue is the extensive
rains of last week which delayed ship
ments of produce and fish. Unless ship
ments improve rapidly prices are expect
ed to advance further. Yesterdays cor
rected wholesale quotations follow.
