"You're Looking Wonderful, Mr.. Sum-"

mt your Birthday Party. We just
didn't know about it-that's all. Won't
you tell us, Mr.. SUM-
And Mr.. Sun again came out from
the Purple Cloud and said:
"'Why, you see when l change into

Yes, perfectly, now that you've ex-
planned. But still we want to know
how many years old are you? And
you certainly have Il Birthday Party
more than once year. such as People
have. Won't you kindly tell us the
meaning of thnt-we've seen you wear
this fine red robe quite often, you
know
TO be sure I'll tell you,' said Mr..
Sun. In the first place of all l can
not tell you my age for I've forgot
ten it. Truly ana really I've forgot
ten. Now that I've lived so many
years it's hardly worth the while re-
memhering just exactly the time. OF
course, l know that little Boy or a
littI" Girl would think it very strange
to forget ones agc-but then YOU see
l AN so old. Besides l have such a
great deal to think Of. There are al
ways the sick People to be made well,
and there are the Picnics and Swim
ming parties l have to attend, and
there are the Crops to he grown and
the Flowers in the gardens, AMI oh
such thousands Of things that ! can
not remember my age.
And as for having more than one
Birthday year--that is perfectly
true. l have them whenever | feel
like it-but usually l have one when
I'm going to work very hard the next
day, TO make folks fine and warm, and
the things in the gardens grow. You
see when I'm feeling so strong and
well think l ought to celebrate, so
! give Birthday Party.
Everyone admircs me when wear
this robe, and it's just the same to
me as though they We're all saying
that they wished me many happy re-
turns of the day-for they all are

more than grateful. Eut we must
sing you a Girthday Song And they
all joined hands and danced around on
the top of the hill singing, TO Mr..

acres who want important meas far reaching in character. and vital to the re- public passed while you wait, seek to create the impression that the President is anxious for Congress to adjourn be- Tore the conventions and that Congress is wiclSedly thwartng him. Every hu- man being with two ideas above a Hot tentot knows that Congress is just as anxious to adjourn before the conventions as the President is. Why in Heaven s name would Congress desire to remain Tn Washington even one day longer than IS absolutely necessary for the proper transaction of the public business?'
 NOW SPEEDING UP
 In the Senate during the past week there has been general speeding up of business. The army reorganization bill is well under way, and the prospects for it's passage within two weeks are good. Ad- ministration leaders are confident that the measure will be in conference within three weeks. Appropriation bills are be- ing taken up as rapidly as theSg come from the House, and the legislative bill is about ready and can be passed as soon as the army bill is out of the way Gvery- where there are signs of unuslaf leKfsla- tive activity. Republican senaxors joir, with the democrats in expressions of hope ludt dll important DuSlneSS can be. dis pensed with a view to adjournment at least in time for a long political cam paign.
 With the defense legislation assuming tangible shape the revenue issue is looml ing as the next important task before Congress. Just now, however, there is delay in the ways and means commit tee owing to the apparent determination of the Senate to increase the peace strength of the standing army over the 10000 as proposed in the Hay bill
 Owing to the uncertainty as to how much money will be required foyss army expenditure the ways and nj ans com mittee will defer action.
 Chairman Kitchin's original plan was to call meeting of the committee to draft tentative revenue-raising programme as soon as the Hay bill parsed the House Scarcely had the bill bsen sent to the Senate, however, when word came to him that the standing army figures would be raised to 1S0,00O. Such an increase, MT. Kitchin said today, would require at least $40, OOO,OOO additional revenue yearly, and he is unwilling to begin planning revenue raising when ther6 exists so much un- certainty about ths amount of money that will be needed.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE STOCK MARKET Irregular Fluctuations Re strict Stock Dealings on
 Wall Street

New York, April 2.-Irregular fluctua i tions marked last weeks restricted stock market dealings, the international situa tion contributing largely to that uncer7| tain condition. War specalties copperS and sugars were strong in the later trad i ing but rails and other investments were| backward despite additional remarkable earnings.
 Heaviness of rails was traceable to in il dications of an extended controversy bel tween the roads and their employes| There were signs also that our stocks were again being iiquidated by European| interests.
 Coppers and kindred shares were ia i vorably influenced by reports that in Il quiry for copper has attained such pro- portions as to keep most of the largeIi producers busy for the greater part of the year. An average price of 271s cents| was quoted for deliveries up to the mid year.
 Conspicuous industrials, notably United| States Steel were under persistent rel straint, mainly in consequence of tho note of caution issued by trade authori- ties, which intimated that the high level of activity had been or soon would bel reached. Nevertheless, independent man. ufacturers ordered further upward price revision of materials most in demand,
 Foreign exchange furnished the basis of much inconclusive discussion. Active trad l ing in the new Dominion of Canada bonds and the Anglo-French war issue over1 shadowed other features of the bond market. The three classes of Canadian bonds sold well above their subscription prices and the Anglo French as touched 957s, equaling their high quotation of the year. but are still considerably under the best quotation of last October. Further investment buying is expected to follow the disbursement of April 1 interest and dividend payments. tH.

of about four clerical assistants, while he himself smoked meditatively and re- celved frequent emissaries from the kitch- ems of the McAlpin.
 His English was as perfect IS his French, and he has recently been del1V- ering lectures at local colleges in both tongues. He assured me that he had not actually cooked anything in some years. His business is to make up the daily nleEu-a work of art-and to display his executive ability in the management of the kitchen force and all associated there with. He owns a handsome uptown resi- dence, and has two motor cars. Now and then he presides as president over the Societe Culnaire Philanthropique.
 While talking with him a white-capped kitchen man came in with something on ts plate. They spowe together in French, but the note of authority was very evil dent in Mons. Panchard's voice. He tast- ed the delicacy, talked more French and finally dismissed the man with "Toute de suite (pronouncing it, "too de sweetD.
 Feeling proud of having caught that much, I remarked, 50, it was too sweet, eh, Mons. Panchard?'
 NO, mo-" he replied, "it was not sweet at all.'
 'But didn't you tell him it was too sweet?"
 He thought a moment, then burst out into hearty French laugh. "Ah, I see,' he said, still smiling, you heard me say 'toute de suite That is French for at once or immediately

New York, April 2.-(Special.)-I every Birmingham representative who visits New York would only do something absurd ridiculous, or heroic, writing about them would become easy but, as it happens, many of them do not. Now, there's M. Lightfoot of Birmingham, who is at the Aberdeen-in spite of that name he has made no mis-step, nor has he done anything calling for chronicler, un- less it be worth while to note that he has been making some very successful purchases.
 However, in order to "hang" something on him, it may be remarked in passing that he eats and eating suggests cooking, while cooking suggests chefs And there in lieth jest on ye correspondent. Once
 thought that chefs were cooks. And investigation proves that they were, but that they are not any more. This knowl- edge came about through a long chat with Mons. Edouard Panchard, chef at the Hotel McAlpin, Broadway and Thirty third street, and incidentally the largest hotel in the world
 When I called I expected to find him bending over a stove of some sort, at- tired in white, and redolent of kitchen coors. Nothing of the sort. He received me in his private office; he was attired after a fashion that even Fifth avenue could not criticize; about him was staff
