TAKING OF PROFIT
TRUSTS SECURITIES
STOCKS THROWN INTO THE MAR.
KEr IN LOTS LARGE ENOUGH
TO GALL DROP.

New York, Sept. 15.-The scarcity OF
stocks in the closing days OF last week.
which forced the bears to retreat was
no longer the governing feature OF tho
market when this weeks trading pc
gan. Liberal supplies from all sources
ef1ectually checked enorts 70 put
prices higher.
The recent rise apparently readjusted
an over sold condition and the market
was not in a condition to assimilate the
heavy offerings on profit taking sales.
Some minor shares gave an exnlotioh
Of strength but the market generally
was under pressure.
Lack Of confirmation Of the rumors
put out to explain the advance IN
Union Pacinc, Reading and Canadian
Pacific made buyers cautious, and the
fact that large speculative interests
were supplying stocks with sunlclent
inducement to the bears to begin SELL
ing.
Copper shares rallied briskly on the
announcement that the price of the
metal has been marked up to. u cents
by one large selling agency Bullish
operations in Reading and Can were
resumed with some success toward
midday, exercising a strengthening In
nuence all around. Bonds were 1rregu-
lar.
: D. i
traders to take profits at the opening
today and large blocks Of the favorite
shares were marketed. The tendency
was downwards although further ad-
vances In a number Of cases gave the
list an irregular appearance. Beading
advanced a point following it's rise on
the London market. Canadian Pacific
declined two points and Union Pacific
a point on heavy realizing. Virginia
Carolina Chemical lost a point.
A wave Of selling orders again
stripped the market after the rally had
been carried to point where the list
was ruling at or above Saturdays
close. On the rise Reading eclipsed its
early high figure, touching 1873. To-
bacco was also bouyant, American
jumping points. The reaction forced
down Union Pacific point and Chesa-
peak 4 Ohio also before weak. Other
wise the pressure lessened after prices
sold off half point or SO.
The market closed weak. Bears were
active in the late dealings and sue
ceeded In uncovering some weakly
margined long accounts. Lowest prices
were made for most Of the representa-
tive stocks. with particular heaviness
In Steel and Union Pacific. Reading
went back below Saturdays close and
Can reacted two points when the
general pressure became too severe

DAILY HINTS ON
FARM TOPICS
By K. A. Kirkoatrick
BY K. A. Kirkpatrl
dcw To Keep Men Employed the
Year Round on the Farm.

Hcw To Keep Men employed the
Year Round on the Farm.
Diversified farming for dairy
arms IL one of the best ways to keep
men and hired help employed the
rear round on the warm. Dairying Is
he standard illustration of an ideal
.ype of farming, because 1t provides
winter work. When IL is combined
With other enterprises, this IL q very
important point. Wholesale dairy
ng alone is one of the worst possible
kinds OF farming for keeping mon
md horses busy. II the farmer ha,
nothing to DO but milk cows and
.aise the feed for them, he has la.
oor problem between milkings eact
nan can milk Is not enough to keeI
aim busy between milkings. Few
men can milk over ten to afteeI
vows because the muscles of the
wrist become too tired. In we'll man.
aged dairying whore milk 10 sold
Wholesale, IL requires about 15t
hours of work per cow per year. Ter
,r twelve cows will only furnish
work half day for one man, but {
man can ordinarily care for as many
ls twenty or twenty-five cows. Thi.
would mean full work seven days In
the week with no ono to take the
work II the man became sick. Two
men can take care of this number OF
COWS and work about half time al
other things. II one man IL away OF
sick, It is possible to get the chores,
done. The two men can raise feed
tor horses and hay and silagc and
some grain for the COWS, and in ad.
dition, can raise cash crops to sell o.
to do other kinds Of work.
II the wife and children help milk,
this provides for extra help needed
at milking time. The one man can
do his share OF the milking. haul the
milk and with q little help In har.
veSting, raise the feed for twenty OF
thirty cows. II his wife and children
milk he may have full years work
This Is merely another way OF say.
Ing that datrying Is only q partia!
days work. The wife helps with the
milking and does house work be.
tween times or the children go te
school between milkings. This II
the common practice in all dairy sec.
tons where nothing but milk, but.
ter, or cheese Is sold. It Is the Gus.
tom not only in America, but In Ill
sther countries.
Occasionally a farmer has such
rood cows OF. has money enough SC
that he can hire men to milk even
though he does not have work for
Them between milkings. A much
more satisfactory way of solving
The problem Is to raise some kind Of
:rops, fruits or vegetables for sale
Men can then DO all the milking ant
.an be kept probably employed be-
tween milkings. This 10 the way
that the problem is usually solved or
the most successful farms. Somt
hines the crop sold will much more
than pay the entire labor bill.
The same problem arises In kaep
ing horses. TO haul milk and man,
ure and raise feed for the cows door
rot keep horses busy, bNt this com
bined with other enterprises or crops
makes good business.
Winter dairying helps the labor
situation as there Is then less WORK
On cows at the time when crops re-
1nire the most work.

CHAPTER XIX.

The Jeffries case suddenly entered
Into an entirely new phase, and once
more was deemed, Of sufficient public
interest to warrant column after col
umn OF spicy comment in the news
papers. The town awoke one morn
ing to learn that the, long-sought-for
witness, the mysterious woman on
whose testimony everything hinged
had not only been found,but proved
10 be the prisoners own wife, who
had been so active in his defense.
This announcement was Supplying
enough to overshadow all other news
of the day, and satisfied the most
jaded palate for sensationaliSm.
The first question asked on all sides
was: Why had not the wife come for
ward before? The reason, as glibly
explained by an evening journal OF
somewhat yellow proclivities, was log
cal enough. The telling Of her mid
night visit to a single mans rooms
involved a shameful admission which
any woman might well hesitate to
make unless forced to 1t as last
extremity. Confronted, however, with
the alternative Of either seeing her
husband suffer for a crime Of which
be was innocent or making public &C
acknowledgement Of her own frailty, she
had chosen the latter course. Nat
nrally, ii meant divorce from the bank
ers son, and undoubtedly this was the
solution most wished for by the family
The whole unsavory affair conveyed a
good lesson TO reckless young men OF
wealth to avoid entangling them
selves in undesirable matrimonial ad'
ventures. But It was no less certain
went on this journalistic mentor, that
this wife, unHalthful as she had proved
herself to be. had really rendered her
husband signal service In her pres
ent scrape. The letter she had pro
duced, written to her by Underwood
the day before his death. In which he
stated his determination to kill him
self, was, of course, complete vindt'
cation for the man awaiting trial, His
liberation now depended only on how
quickly the ponderous machinery Of
the law could take cogni2ance Of this
new and most important evidence.
The new turn OF affairs was nat
nrally most dlstasteful to the police.
II there was one thing more than
another which angered Capt, Clinton 1t
was 10 take the trouble to build up
case only to have It suddenly demol'
tished. He scot'ed at the Suicide let
ter" safely committed to Judge Brew
ster's custody, and openly branded 1t
us forgery Colcocted by an immoral
woman for the purpose Of defeating
the ends Of justice. He kept Annie a
! prisoner and defled the counsel for
| the Defense to do their worst. Judge
Brewster. who loved the fray, accept
ed the challenge. He acted promptly
He secured Anule's release on habeas
corpus proceedings and, his civil suit

Getting Rich.

When was but little lad,
My father used to say;
"Savc all the pennies that you get
And you'll be rich some day.
Now, father was a thrifty soul,
And wise among all men.
He saved his pennies and made good
But times have changed since then
cannot save en- as he did
Although I've fumed and fused.
Tire pennies that try to save
Are gobbled by some trust.
That S What They All Say.
