DAILY SHORT STORY.
GRANDMA'S PET.
BY BRYANT G.. ROGERS.

When a person is referred to as a hoy
don, one knows that girl is meant. No
boy is ever referred to by that epithet.
Instantly there arises to the minds eye
a picture Of a girl from twelve to six
teen years old. She has gypsy face
and figure. She has very short dresses
and very long legs. She has long hair fly
ing in the wind. She is sunburned and
freckled and impudent.
She remembers a box on the ear and
an admonition about thirty seconds.
A hoydon romps. she climbs trees, she
JUMPS fences. she throws stones and
clubs, she breaks windows, she attacks
the grOcer's or the butchers boy at the
back door and fights with hands and
feet and teeth-any old way TO lick him
and send him away humiliated.
The hOydon hides behind the rose bush
and ''plunks' a stone al a tin peddier
driving past.
She makes up faces and filters at the
young man out with his girl.
She Crouches outdoors under a parlor
window when her sister Janet's beau
comes, and makes ghOstly wailings.
She turns hsndsprings in summer and
slides down hill on board or any old
thing in winter.
She hates the boys. and whether they
offer her peanuts or their love there is
hair-pulling unless they can outrun her
No wonder they never call a boy a hoy
don. He isn't in il with a girl-not by
a hundred miles.
June Eaton was a hOyden. She be-
gan TO be a hOyden at about a year old
and she kept it up until she was almost
nineteen. She ought to have been ia

Mexican news had a naturally disquiet-
ing effect upon the New York stock mar
ket yesterday.
Steel, which closed 5sIS Saturday. went
as low as 5s7s, closing SIS. Union Pacific,
from I54h Saturday, closed nearly three
points down.
The market was well supported through
out the forenoon and there was good
rally on the covering movement among
the shorts which this induced. Presi-
dents specific statement regarding his
personal views on the Mexican situation
also was a great help in steadying the
market.
There was a fresh outburst of liquida-
tion, however, late in the afternoon
which had such an upsettling influence
the market broke again more sharply
than It did either at the opening or dur
ing the weak periods of early Saturday.
The heaviest declines occurred in such
standard stocks as Southern Pacific, Un-
ion Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley, and
Great Northern.

Useless Protests Filed.

Protests continue to be received at the
Treasury Department against the finan-
cial redistricting OF the United States.
None Of them, of course, will have any
affect on the reserve board and the at
titude of Washington bankers in accept
ing the findings is commendable as well
as polite.
The Oklahoma banks, which have been
assigned to Dallas will appeal to the
reserve board to have the arrangement
changed so that they will be included in
the Kansas City district. Thirty banks
of Northern Michigan have forwarded a
protest to Washington against their as
signment to the Minneapolis district and
have asked to be affiliated with the Chi
cago Reserve Bank.
The Omaha Clearinghouse Associa-
ton passed a resolution requesting that
unless Omaha is made a reserve city,
the States of Nebraska and Wyoming be
transferred from the Kansas City dis
trict to that of Chicago.
At a joint meeting of the directors of

testing against attaching any part Of
