the original course of the river was
not navigable for more than nine
months out of every twelve.
'The opening of the waterway was
the occasion for a great celebration III
which three monarchs participated
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Hungary, King Alexander of Serbia,
and King Carol (Cherles y of Rou-
mania. The festivities of the day were
somewhat marred by the discovery
that the current through the canal
was so swift that while steamers
could rush through it in their down
ward journey they could not make the
trip upward, so that the old river
course had to be used for westward
bound traffic.
Wen the water is high the rocks OF
the Iron Gates are completely sub
merged but they are only a few fee.
beneath the surface and the boiling.
churning waves present a terrifying
sight to the timid passenger as his
steamer fights its way to the calmer
reaches in the vicinity of Orsova (pro-
nounced Orhhova), the first town in
Hungarian territory, five miles above
the rapids and ten hours journey by
boat below Belgrade, the peace-times
capital of Serbia
Instead of the gloomy gorge which
most travellers expect to find, the
banks on each side of the Iron Gates
present a beautiful picture of gently
sloping hills, bountifully wooded. In
the early summer these woods are a
fairyland of flowers and the winds are
fairly weighted with the fragrance Of
wild blossoms in countless variety,
while a short distance from the river
the huntsman finds deer, wild boar,
bear and other games in abundance.
the charm of the scene are
the songs of myriad birds which make
their home in the forests.
CAS- the river progresses eastward
into Roumania the wooded hills dis
appear and are succeeded by barren
sand ridges"

Pretty soon the girls father sug-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET REMAINS STEADY
Though War Stocks Drop With the
 Spread of Peace Rumors.

New York, May 9.-For want of more definite or specific reasons, the uncertain trend and professional tone of yesterdays market were accepted as the logical outcome of recent events. Washington's reply to the Berlin note seemed to have been fully discounted, but the shifting phases of conditions south of the Rio Grande were again reflected in the compara- tive heaviness of Mexican issues.
 War stocks followed a more con- sistent course, in that they displayed greater weakness with the spread of peace rumors. As a matter of fact, these rumors appeared to originate largely from interested sources, in- cluding what is technically known as "sold out bulls.'' Certainly the inter national list gave no hint of momen- tous proceedings abroad and the for eign exchange markets conveyed no intimations of an approaching change.
 The most hopeful or constructive sign was furnished by the railway list, which figured to a greater extent than ordinarily in the days opera tions. Union Pacific was foremost among the standard shares, recording a maximum gain of 1-S points, with lesser gains for St. Paul, Canadian Pacific, Reading and Lehigh Valley.
 Low priced rails more especially Rock Island and some of the issues WAACn once IOrInSQ integral parts or the Gould system were in general de- mand later. Rock Island rose 4 to p 1-2, it's best quotation for a very long time. Renewal of activity in these long dormant issues was made the occasion of much conjecture and gossip.
 Shipping shares again divided hon. ors with the automobile group. Mer- camille Marines and United Fruit sug- gesting further accumulation by sub- stantial interests, with higher quota tions for Maxwell, Studebaker and U. 8. Rubber. The motors fell away later, however, on failure of the Max well directors to act on the common and second preferred dividends.
 U. S. Steel fluctuated narrowly most of the day on reduced offerings, clos ing with a small net loss. Bethlehem Steel, on a single sale, fell 19 points to 445. Weakness of United Railways Investment common and preferred made those issues the feature of the utilities group. Total sales of stocks amounted to 725,0O0 shares.
 Bonds in general were regular. but Rock Island issues, notably the de- bentures, were very strong. Total sales, (par va1ue) were S3!5l4O. GOO
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call

In the fourth. with two men on and one out, Duggan hit to Lord. who threw wild, Mum grabbing the ball out of the air and stabbing at Duggan as he slid by into first base. Umpire Ford called Dug gan safe and Lord kicked so strenu- ously that he was chased from the field, an extra fine being added because he persisted in removing his shoes at the players bench. Kilhullen then threw the ball out of the grounds when the umpire's back was turned. A mo- ment later the Lowell bench set up a howl of derision at the umpire and he ordered them off, with the result that he forfeited the game when they re- fused to go.

HUSBANDS WORK AT HOME! - LESSONS IN
MATRIMONY FOR MEN-NO. 3.

MA / NlNlOyIN 1 T.
BY WINoNA WILCOX
Having established his wife in his
home and guaranteed its, expenses,
what further part should man have
in it's operation? 80
theoretically, a woman runs the
house alone, but practically man
does a great deal more about the
house than he is ever given credit
for.
Silence concerning the double
moral standard is not deeper than
that which conceals the double,
working standard for husbands and
wives. The woman pulls down the
shades when the husband wipes the
dishes. The man is so conventional
that the only household accomplish
ments to which he ever cOnfesses are
making a rarebit and walking the
baby to sleep.
Man is, a creature with a homing
instinct. In early married life he
often finds it a new kind Of sport to
fuss about the house-under the or
deTs of his superior officer. This
idylIic state glorifes many middle
class fiat. 81 love thee to the level
of every days most quiet need, by
sun or candlelight-"
Whether man will continue to APP
ply poetry to the problems of the
home is decided by the character of
the woman in command.
Some women are surprised and
grieved every morning Of their lives
to find the same old household roU-
tine facing them. In such a home
the work is never done, the wife is
always tired, there is work waiting
for a tired man every night and life
becomes sordid and vulgar.
Duplicate all the conditions except
the character of the wife, and the
home may be artistic, systematized
and a D1acn Of Oeace for a man IN
