Boss BraxtOn and the WenCh

Having temporarily run out of
Raw Material for his literary
gems, Boss Braxton, editor of
the Holbrook News, came out
last week with a full column
"nigger" story. Being so proud
of the composition. the Boss
gave it prominence by a position
on the front page among the
patent medicine ads instead of
in its proper place as an editorial.
The painted picture of the
distress of the heroine of the
narrative-a wench- awaiting
at the marriage altar by the side
of her second choice during the
delayed hanging of her hus-
band depicts the anxiety of the
Boss awaiting the result of his
printing bids.
He knew the trap was fixed,
as did the wench, and remained
only to be sprung, but what if
the rope should break? That
had not been thot of before.
The delay of the supervisors
caused the Boss to lose heart
and tremble. In his distress he
admitted being the highest bid
der and being so much the high
est stated he would withdraw
his bid as soon as Atty. Jordan
could be seen. Jordan was seen.
But instead of his bid being
withdrawn the rusty machinery
was readjusted and oiled and
the trap sprung not on schedule
time but later.
His nerves being quieted by
Jordan's good work as a ma
chinist, the Boss took a e w
hitch in his shoe string grip on
the News and has now settled
down as a writer of literary
gems and "nigger" stories.

1t was more dominant tone than
that presented in the earlier trading,
and while there were important STOCKS
that moved up to, but not above the

WALL STREET MARKET
FAIRLY ACTIVE; FIRM
Operators Show Less Disposition to
Overstay Advances and Take
Profits More Quickly.

NEW YORK. October 1S.-Around the
immediate opening there were more or
less positive indications of repetition
of broad, strong market. Higher
prices were established quite generally
throughout the list and the opening
was decidedly strong.
Very soon after, before the end of the
first hour, the market turned the other
way, the advances were generally lost
and the prevailing figures on many Sc
curities were lower than at the close
yesterday.
1t looked as if traders were inclined
to be nervous, and at least determined
not to overstay their market, but TO
cash in on profits when in sight. over
staying having been an expensive eN
perience to many operators.
