STOCK 7RAD|NG
FALLS into RUT
WITH EXCEPTION OF READING
NONE OF LEADERS FLucTu-
ATE HARDLY A POINT.

New York, May 25.-stock trading
today fell into a pronounced nut after
the first hour and with the exception OF
Reading, none of the leaders fluctuat-
ed smuch as half point.
Missouri Pacific again showed tenn
porary weakness on fears regarding the
outcome of the note extension plan.
Bonds were irregular.
Little change from the dull and lr-
regularity Of last week was shown by
today's early stock market, initial
changes were normal, the only stock
to vary more than a very small frac-
ton being Bethlehem Steel, which rose
Nc. United States Steel and Amalga-
mated were slightly lower and the
movement elsewhere wac without
especial feature. London's range Of
prices for our securities was mostly
lower and general news from abroad
pointed to continuance Of recent re-
str1ining conditions.
The market closed heavy but for the
most part changes were unimportant.

We Are All Poor.

How much are you worth? Meas
ured by the tape line of this worlds
valuation you are rich or poor,
worth much or little, according to
the dollars you own. Measured
by the the rule of heaven, and you
are worth just what you can take
with you into the next life. A man
who possesses IN this life a million
dollars is not worth a cent one
moment after he is dead. Bank
books are out of place in a dead
mans coffin. Shrouds have no
pockets. All the wealth of the uni
verse could not purchase a single
moment of time or help a man to
retain his hold upon his earthly
riches for one hour You are worth
whatever of good deeds you have
to your credit on the other side of

A gentleman asked US Friday,
Can Mason or Odd Fellow in
good standing swear?" Sure he
can, but he won't if he is in good
standing. Every time a member
of these orders swears he violates
a solemn obligation. Watch and
you will hear very few of the men,
bers of these orders that live up to
their teachings, swear Laddonia

Plan to Make New Orleans Entirely
Rat-Proof.

Conversion of insanitary districts
into healthful ones and the proof
ing ofthe entire city against rats is
contemplated in the plans made by
the health authorities of New Or
leans for permanently stamping
out the causes of bubonic plague
The methods proposed are similar
in certain respects to those followed
by the Federal government at the
Panama Canal, while their execu
ton is as much an engineering
problem as it is a medical one Ac-
complishment Of the work depends
upon the passage of enabling leeis-
lation which bears directly upon
the building regulations and affects
practically every structure in the
city. The November Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, in an illustrated
! article, says
Ordinances designed to handle
the situation provide that all build
ings which rest upon the ground
shall have concrete floors and every
structure shall be PROCEED against
rats. Other ordinances abolish hen
houses within the city limits, ex-
cepting when they are thoroughly
rat-proofed; make stringent rulings
concerning the disposal of garbage,
and subjects shipping in the harbor
to binding regulations intended to
prevent rats from landing from
boats locked at the wharves. 1t is
planne that ships shall lie s #

Gen. Sherman's Real Words.

Gen. Sherman's definition of war
is often quoted, but few are familiar
with the utterance which led up to
the famous summary of war. Here
is what he said;
II confess. without shame, that
l am tired and sick of war. 1t
is all moonshine. Even success.
the most brilliant, is over dead and
maneled bodies, the anguish and
lamentations of distant families ap-
pealing to me for missing sons,
husbands and fathers. 1t is only
those who have not heard a shot
nor heard the shrieks and eroans of
the wounded and lacerated that
cry aloud for more blood, more
vengeance, more desolation. War
is hell" Winchester Qll) Times

Courage.

Because | hold it sinful to despond,
And will not let the bitterness
of life
Blind me with burning tears, but
look beyond
Its tumult and its strife;
Because | lift my head above the
mist,
Where the sun shines and the
broad breezes blow,
BY every ray and every raindrop
kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you l find no bitterness at all?
No burden to be borne, like Chris
uan's pack?
Think you there are no ready tears
Because l keep them back?
Why should l hug life's ills with
cold reserve.
To curse my myself and all who
love me? Nay!
A thousand times more good than
| deserve
God gives me ev ry day.
And each one of these rebellious
tears
Keep bravely back, He makes a
rainbow shine;
Grateful / take His slightest gift, no
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear. and when
the clouds are past,
One golden day redeems a weary
year;
Patient listen, sure that sweet at
last
Will sound his voice of cheer.
Then vex me not with Gliding Let
me be.
l must be glad and grateful tc
the end.
| grudge you not your cold anC
darkness
The powers of light befriend.
