peated his effort before Mrs. Jones
guessed what was wanted. When she

BRADSTREET'S REPORT

In making a summary of business
conditions in the state for the yesr
1913 reports state labor was general
ly well employed but the lack of
snow for winter period of 1928
was a decided set back. A short
maple sugar crop, climatic conditions
and insect pests damaged fruit crop
and the curtailing of growing period
for corn made that crop a short one.
On the other'hand top prices were
received for all kinds of produce.
Outside of two or three cebters
skilled labor was in good demand
and several places found it impossible
to secure all unskilled labor desires.
The granite trade reports an in
crersed production over that done in
1912 by fully 1919. Other producers
of stone products note an increase
in volume of business. Overall and
garment factories havehad a success
full year Organ manufacturers
note a liberal increase in output.
Machine manufacturers report the
first nine months of the year showed
fully as good as normal but the last
three months were quiet. With ex-
ception of one wooden mill the wooden
industry reports Ia big year. Knit
goods manufacturers have produced
fully as much as usual. Reports
from five cities in the state give an
approximate expenditure in building
work of 81, 298,625 during 1913 as
against 1895, 700 for the year 1912.
Dealers in mill supplies report pres
ent outlook for business is the best
they have seen it. Generally an
optimistic tone predominates, altho'
none are incliued to remark that the
next two months will be rather quiet.
Failure reports for the year, affect
ing mercantile interests numbered
73, the Largest number reported
since 1906. The amountEof damage
done by fire was the largest recorded
since 1906, several large companies
suffered damage during the year
which brings total damage'up to ST.
030,645 from 148 fires affecting 1876
mercantile companies.

CUPID EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT
New Jersey Couple Meet, Woo and
Wed Ali Inside Of Thirteen
Hours.

Cupid exceeded the speed limit for
quick marriages when Piscel Balais Of
Clark street and Miss Rosa Razca Of
Cass street boarded the train at
Trenton, N. J., as perfect strangers,
and within 10 hours had ridden to
matrimony aud happiness.
The young couple had never seen
each other until they we're introduced
at the home Of a friend. The youth,
captivated, was soon riding on air,
and began his suit Immediately. At
ten he popped the question aggressive
ly, and the maid surrendered, not lay
Ing down her arms, exactly, but max
Ing better use of them.
At 1890 Miss Ra2ca had bought her
trousseau and Balais his wedding suit,
both purchases being made in a store
where the giTl was a saleswoman.
When the city hall opened the
couple were waiting to get the license,
answered the required questions in a
few short moments that seemed all
too long. Then they looked up a cler-
gyman and were married half an hour
afterward,

HORSE FELL INTO A TREE
Awaiting Aid, the Animal Tightly
clutehed the Trunk With Hls
Rear Hoofs.

Visitors TO Ferry Bar were much
surprised the other morning to see a
horse up among the branches OF a
tree. The animal had gotten in its
uncomfortable position by falling ten
feet from bank that overstopped the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
The accident occurred while the
horse was grazing In a pasture in the
rear Of the Baltimore Motor club at
Ferry Bar. John McMahon, S77 West
Fayette street, was at work on a mo
tor boat when he was startled by a
conVulsive rustling in the tree near
by. Looking up he was startled to
see four hoofs jutting through the
leaves and swinging madly back and
forth. A moment later the hoofs be-
came still and the horse wrapped the
rear ones around the tree, clutching
desperately to prevent q further fall.
A call was sent to the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and an ambulance was hurried to the
scene. Blocks and tackle were fast
ened to a tree stump on top Of the hill
and leather belts were wrapped about
the horse. When the work Of hitching
the belts was completed :. was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs of the tree
were cut off. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work Of the score OF
more of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal Of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re
vealed that outside of a few scratches
he was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ameri-
can.

The Hungry BuIlfroq.

'Did you ever know that the bull.
frog was carnivoroUs, or, in, other
words, cannibal?" said Nick Gilbert,
one of the operators at the electrical
bureau. 81 never did until several
years ago, when it was demonstrated
almost before my very eyes. I have
been interested in fish culture for
years and have made a study Of their
habits. So that I could study them at
closer range, built big aquarium in
my yard, one that held $50 gallons,
and along with fine collection of fish
stocked it with seven fine big bull
frogs.
"The sparrows used to drink water
from the edge Of the aquarium and
this day, while my wife was looking
on, one Of the frogs leaped UP, caught
the sparrow and took it beneath the
water. could hardly believe. that a
frog would attack and vanquish such
a fighter as the English sparrow is
known to be, so in the interest of sci
ence I emptied the aquarium, and
sure enough, down in the bottom was
the sparrow. The frog had taken him
down below, but either could not swal-
low him or else did not have the time.
Following that began to miss some
valuable japanese fantails, and, after
removing all the frogs but one, waited
until I missed another fish, when /
Hiiled Mr. Frog and found that he was
he, robber. Before that believed the
fish had been stolen by cats. The bull
frog is aggressive and can take his
own part any time"
