Trading seemed to be stimulated by the
announcement that the courts had grant
ed an extension of time for effecting dis
solution of the Hartman properties Gov
ernment intervention In the railroad rate
casesSw before the supreme court was
taken b. &nean that final decision in these
cases HSAild be postponed indefinitely.
Elimination of the rate cases and the
Hartman merger tangle from the spec
uative situation as disturbing influences
for some time to come encouraged bull
traders, and in the rise of the afternoon
opera tions for the long account were car
ried on more confidently A noticeable
feature was the scarcity Of stocks, some
issues rising sharply on comparatively
small buying.
There was. some further selling of bonds
today, but the general tone was better.
New York city As were traded in at
around the recent low levels. one of
these issues striking a new low point.
Indefinite reports We're heard of further
financing soon to be attempted. Money
market conditions were studied closely in
view of the large requirement for new
capital which are pressing. Recent indi-
cations of a slowing down in some lines
of business in the opinion of bankers,
may point TO a lessening of requirement,
for funds in commercial chanAels, with
a consequent Increase of available capital
for imperative new financing.

EVENING CHAT
ST Didn't Stop a Moment"
BIZ RUrA CAMERON.

"Keep busy to keep happy" is one
of the wisest bits of advice the prov
erb makers ever wrote.
There is nothing that 1 ask of life
any more fervently than that I may
be "too useful to be lonely and too
busy to be sad,' to the very end of
my days.
But we should not forget that there
is another angle to this matter, as
to everything else on earth. One must
keep busy in order to keep happy, but
one must keep fit in order to be able
to keep busy. And in order to keep
fit, one must not drive ones self too
moment full of BUSINESS.
81 don't see why I'm so tired
tonight" 1 heard woman say the
other day. ct haven't done any heavy
me-"
what have you been doing?" I
asked.
Goodness" she said, don't ask me.
1t would take half the evening to tell
you I put the house in order and
suit fitted. While L was there l did
half a dozen little errands and put in
an hour at the dentists. This after
noon I wrote a big batch of notes in
regard to some statistics I am getting
for our women'S club, spent an hour
or so at the telephone making ar
rangements for our college sorority
banquet, finished that waist I was
making-and what else did I do? oh,
yes, 1 know, washed out some silk
stockings and channels gloves. and did
up two of my fussy collars"
"Then you were pretty busy most
of the day?" I asked.
Busy I should say so,'' she re-
torted SCI didn't stop a minute
And yet she wondered why she was
tired.
81 didn't stop a minute''-how Of
ten that could be said of the average
woman's day.
How many women fill every hour of
their waking time crammed damned
full of such activities, rushing breath
lessly from one to another; often ner-
vous and harried because they are
afraid of not being able to get every
thing in, or of having some unexpected
call made upon them, or Of not being
on time for some appointment! How
many women fill their days with six
teen or seventeen such hours, and
their weeks with seven such days, and
then wonder why they are tired and
nervous, why they are easily fretted,
why they don't enjoy life as much as
they did when they were younger!
No day should be planned so full
of activities that there will be no
passive time left. Every day should
time kept for the unexpected call or
for just relaxing.
Only so can one be fit to really en-
joy the great privilege of being busy.
Labor is the salt of life. Do not spoil
your capacity to enjoy it. For eff the
salt have lost it's SAVIOUR. wherewithal
shall 1t be salted?"

MILESTONEs.

One day, when the skies were blue above
and the earth beneath was green,
She told me a tale of her youthful love,
in the days when she was queen;
The tale she told was of olden days, in
the days when the lannon's roar
Called lovers out from their roSied ways
to the hate and the stress Of war;
She told the tale and she seemed ashamed
of her tears that fell in showers,
And turned away like a creature manned
and hid in the garden flowers.
Twas long ago and my mem'ry fails but.
gathering piece by piece,
Twas merely one of the stranger tales
that's born of Wars caprice;
A regiment passed and it halted there-a
rest-then the old advance,
A parting glimpse of a soldier fair with
promise in his glance
A word from him while the cannons slept,
to brighten her anxious hours,
Then silence came and the maiden wept
and hoped in the garden flowers.
IT'S years since then but the drums sharp
beat brings back a distant day,
1t echoes the tread of their marching feet
and pictures the dusty way
1t brings back a maiden more than fair
and a soldier clad in blue,
A peaceful face in the trenches there and
lonely heart that's true;
I would that some of the kindly Fates
would conjure the magic powers
To bring him back to the woman who
waits and weeps in the garden
flowers!
John D. Wells.

WHAT rs A WHITE MANe

The decision of Federal Judge Rud-
kin, of the state of Washington, that a
Hindu may be naturalized may become
important in connection with the
solution of the japanese question. The
| Hindu was admitted to citizenship on
| the strength of his own declarat ton
| that he was descended from the Aryan
race.
As between Hindus as a race and
the japanese, there is nothing to the
advantage of the former considered as
| immigrants or as citizens. The whites
Columbia have exhibited such hostility
to Hindu immigration that the British
government has been forced to sane
ton restrictive measures against it.
Eindus cannot freely enter Natal, or
any of the Australasian colonies of
the British empire. Their appearance in
some numbers at Vancouver some
years ago created a crisis such as we
are now familiar with in California.
1t is perfectly clear that an influx
! of Hindu laborers into this country
| would be bitterly opposed and, conse-
quently, a judicial decision giving them
an eligibility to citizenship now denied
under our queer, Anticipated naturaliza-
ton law to the Chinese and Japanese
assumes an aspect rather singular if
not absurd To the japanese, discrim-
ination in favor of Hindus as against
them, whether in the naturaliza ton
law or the California antialien land
laws, must seem like an insult unless
| their application for naturalization be
accepted on similar grounds.
The Japanese claim that they are of
an entirely different race from the
Chinese. If the courts be called upon
to answer the question: What is a
white man? they are likely to en-
counter as great difficulty as did the
the government departmental official
! is determining what is whisky.

would have run into the adjoining room,
but John Vane was too quick for her. He
entered by the same window that she her
self had used and stood with a grin on
his face.

tones that made the other back involun-
tarily toward the window. This woman
is my wife and has been for the last three

and when John Vane had withdrawn with
the speed of a convict, Bachelor Bob
turned again to his wife and drew her
close.

village now?" asked Eileen with little
wistful smile. ''It will spoil all our fun
and mystery and your book ladies will be

says UNCLE CIV

A goodly ambition is so to live that
men may say of you, His funeral sermon
was no pious mockery, neither is his cpl
taph lie" I sometimes wonder if the
exact truth were told over the mortal
portions of the dear departed and chiseled
upon the monuments whether there
world. A good many of us smother con-
science, dodge the tax assessor, the police
and the prosecuting attorney, expecting
the minister to take good look at our
bereaved kin and put a good face upon
a bad record. We leave 1t to our wives
to write the inscriptions Tor our tonbs,
Knowing that family PRIDE in the absence
of a tender feeling, will insure us a false
but acceptable last word.
The prospect of passing out at par value
would trouble a good many OF US. We'd
be more or less like the Irishman in the
story who was bejabbered if he'd stay
dead If the priest insisted upon holding
him up as horrible example. A consid-
cradle number of model citizens, good
follows about town, church members and
politicians that we have known would
arise to musS up their cerements, diSar-
range the rest in peace floral tribute
and scare the assembled mourners into
fits If they could hear their real records
discussed after their departure.
The old motto which abjures US to speak
nothing except good of the dead is mighty
kind to the deceased, but it's a poor in
ducement to the living to tread the
usefulness. better public policy would
be to tell the whole truth about the dead
ana put q more k1nOly construction upon
the acts of those who still with us.
There is something sadly ludicrous in
the chaplet of laurel that love and gentle
custom place upon the brows of the
cussedest old curmudgeon who ever af-
flicted a community the moment that he
ceases to breathe. There's many a
mourner who takes comfort in hearing a
well-meaning purveyor of obituary plati-
tudes lament the demise of the man in
the coffin that would call halt if there
was a possibility of those same lamenta-
On the whole, we are wondrouS kind
to the departed-too unreasonably kind.
There was not justification for the atu-
tude of Mrs. Spriggins, Of Puckyhuddle,
who wanted to plant jimson weeds on
the grave of her favorite enemy in order
that all the world might know that there
was at least one person who hadn't been
fooled by the parsons patter, but it would
appear to an unprecedented observer that
she was partially right when she arose
and broke up the formal services by re-
marking that it wasn't good judgment to
make a saint outen a sinner tn minnut
that he shut his eyes to sin no more

QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

[Fron the Philadelphia Record.l
Never tell a fat girl she is all wool and
yard wide.
The fisherman's motto-An things come
to those who bait.
There is nothing platonic about the love
of misery for company.
A man is apt to think hds latest good
resolution is the best he ever broke.
Many a guilty man escapes because he
is so small he goes right through the net.
She-"There is no limit to woman's
sphere" He-''No; woman's sphere now
seems to be the whole earth
Blobbs-''It takes a certain amount of
cheek to kiss a girl Slobbs-"Cheek?
What's the matter with lips?''
Sillicus-"When you hear a man wish
ing he were dead, it's a pretty good sign
he wants to get married" Cynicus-
"Or is"
You should remember that time is
money" admonished the stern parent.
But time hangs so much more heavily on
our hands," yawned the indolent son.
1t is certainly queer.
How a woman that's deep
Can call man dear,
And then make him feel cheap.

SELECTING OCCUPATIONS.

Boston has made great strides in the
effort to guide school children in their
choice of work. How this effort start
ed and what it means is explained by
Meyer Bloomfield, director of the vo-
cation bureau, and Laura F. Went
worth, executive secretary of the voca-
tional guidance department of the
Boston public schools, who are joint
authors of an article in the Survey.
The vocation bureau, through whose
influence the Boston schools were in
duced to introduce vocational guild
ance, does not aim at the placing Of
individual boys and girls in particular
Jobs 1t endeavors to study the causes
of the waste which attends the passing
of unguided and unframed young peo-
pie from school to work, and to assist
by experiments to prevent this waste.
1t aims to work out the problem of CO.
operation between schools and occupa-
lions, for the purpose of enabling both
to make a more socially profitable use
of human talents and opportunities.
It publishes studies of vocations from
the viewpoint of their educational and
other efficiency requirements. 1t con-
ducts a training course for qualified
men and women who desire to prepare
themselves for vocational guidance in
the public school system, philanthropic
institutions, and business establish
ments. Its interests therefore lie both
in the direction of personal service to
the individual and of constructive ex-

education and employment.
