THE UNIVERSAL ENDING
BY Berton BraIey. :
Wherever you tarry the neighbor-
hoods merry
With many a rollicking air;
The rag" visitation has conquered
the nation
And seized on the people for fair; =
From ocean to ocean the feet are in
motion;
Though many regard them
askance,
By night time or daytime or work
time or playtime,
Everything ends in dance!
When banqueters gather to feed and
to blather
They end with the tango or trot;
While every convention you happen
to mention
Will turn to dance, like as not;
Bold anarchists, plotting, will finish
by trotting,
Providing they find there's a
chance;
Wherever a gang goes you're certain
of tangoes-
Everything ends in a dance!
From cheap bill collectors to pursy
directors,
From burglars to Kings of the
Street"
They one step or two step or prac-
tice a new step,
With eager and lyrical feet;
From breakfast or dinner each saint
and each sinner
Arises to whirl and to prance,
And some day sermon will end in
a German
Everything ends in a dance!

fielder, made very messy error IN
the fourth inning yesterday that al
lowed Marsans to score the only Red
run. Archer pegged badly to second
to get the Cuban athlete stealing.
The ball rolled to center and Marsans
rolled for third.
Johnston let the pill ooze through
him, and the gent with the natural
tan stamped on the home plate to
show his happiness at getting there.
Whereupon there were loud cries of
rage from the 1000 spectators scat
tered through the stands, and many
inquiries were heard as to why that
guy Johnston was on the team.
These unkind remarks ranked in
the heart of the Southerner. He is
sensitive and feels deeply all criti-
cism of his playing ability. So in the
ninth inning young Jimmy proceeded
to show the natives why he was wear
ing big league uniform.
There was one out and Uhlir was
running for Clarke because Bill
Sweeney had made an error. Con
zales, another of the numerous in
ternationals with the Reds, soaked
a long fly to deep center. Johnston
took up his station in the path of the
descending pill. Uhlir trekked down
the line toward second, watching
Johnston. The latter clutched the
pill and then glance dat Uhlir. The
baserunner turned his back and
started for first. Immediately John
ston hurled the pill in the direction of
Safer, and before Manager Herzog
could warn his hired man a double
play had been completed and the
game was over.
That play of Johnston more than
compensated for a missed grounder,
or several mechanical miscues. It
showed he uses his head as well as
his hands and feet in playing ball
and is alive to opportunity. His quick

RIFT IN WAR CLOUDS
 SENDS COTTON UP
Returning Confidence in European Situation Mani
 fest in Buying

New York, July 29.-There was a feeling of relief in all speculative circles today over the announcement that efforts to locaiize the, European war zone gave promise of success. This was particularly true of cotton, which not only showed less activity before the close developed very positive strength. The opening was unsettled and very nervous with prices to 22 lower fol- lowing weakness in Liverpool and con flicting war news but after selling off to a net decline of II to e4 points with August showing the most weakness, re- turning confidence in the foreign situ- ation made itself manifest in general buying from all quarters and the mar ket advanced fully 25 to s2 points from tho low levels. closing very steady al s to 12 points net advance.
 The closing out of several remaining bis long interests early in the day em- phasized the oversold condition of the market and pressure was therefore greatly restricted when shorts tried to get back their cotton.
 The upturn was aided by an active
 
 steadily accommodating cotton since it sold under 12 cents while there was a feeling in many quarters that the steady high temperatures in Oklahoma and Arkansas furnished more than an offset for the cloudy conditions in Texas which may not result in the gen. eral rains so much needed in that state. On the other hand further rains in the eastern belt led to favorable advances from that section which were in line with reports issued by trade paper here covering Georgia and Alabama A private condition report issued at noon was about in line with those previous ly published and pointed to a slight increase in the coming government re- port.

MARKET REACTS
 RATHER SHARPLY 12 to 13 Points Net Advance for Day-Weather Re-
 ports UnfavOrable

New Orleans, July 29.-Cotton reacted rather sharply today from the downward movement based on European politics. The more favorable trend of cable news served to cause pronounced buying wave on an oversold market. From the lowest to the highest there was rise of 26 to 29 points. The net change for the day was an advance of 12 to 13 points. At the highest levels the most active months were Is to 1T points under yesterday s last figures.
 In the early trading m accumulation of selling orders and poor cables caused a recession of 10 to 12 points, which put October down to il .S2c, and all months to new low levels. This decline did not last long as little fresh short selling made it's appearance, and scalpers took to the long side as soon as they were able to gauge the trend of the reports of the day from Europe Offerings became slender and hte markets firmed up rapidly.
 Weather reports were unfavorable on the whole, the drouth in the west was unbroken, but little attention was paid and the markets firmed up rapidly.

FOREIGN MARKETS SUSPEND BUSINESS New York Almost Only Ex- change in World to Pre-
 serve Its Stability

New York. July 29.--The local stock ex- change was almost the only important market in the world to preserve its sta bility today. though at times storm sig nals were in evidence as result of the semi-paralysi sat London and Berlin. Latest war developments caused the Brit ish and French markets practically to withdraw from active operations while other European exchanges, including Frankfort and Hamburg deemed it ex- pedient to initiate Amsterdam, Vienna, Madrid and Montreal, which suspended business.
 An unusual feature of the London mar ket was the nominal quotations posted for many American issues, while those in which transactions were made declined 2 to points. Opening prices here were in- clined to follow London's lead, but a sud- den reversal followed an active buying movement of Canadian Pacific for Berlin.
 An important factor in the advance here was the extensive purchases credited to investors, an element long lacking in the financial district. To the buying of this character might be added the substantial support accorded by leading banking in- terests. Best prices were established in the final hour, when foreign advices were increasingly encouraging.
 Foreign exchange was unsettled, but the refusal of many brokers to quote rates served to restore a semblance of order. Business was 100000 shares under yester- days active session.

 Lucullus Imported Cherry Trees
 Cherries are among the good things that have come to Europe out of Asia. Tho tree was introduced in Italy about 70 B. C., by Lucullus. who obtained both the fruit and its name from the city of Cerasus, in Pontus. It was first planted in England some two centuries later and soon became acclimated, but the real impetus was given to English cherry growing in 1540. when various fine kinds were brought from Flanders and planted in Kent.
 And still. as your journey by the boat train through Teynham you may see the very first cherry orchard planted in England.
