FINANCE AND TRADE.

For a long period there has been
a strong speculative disposition in the
stock market based upon trade activ-
ity, easy money and war initiation"
writes Henry Clews, the New York
banker, in his weekly financial review
under date of August 26. Thus far"
he continues, this tendency has not
had free play owing to the policy of
restraint imposed by conservative
banking interests; also to the steady
pressure of foreign liquidation which
has shown itself at every rally. More
over, there is a feeling that present
abnormal profits are purely temper
ary, and that any undue speculation
continuance might lead to disastrous
consequences. This week, however,
there were notable exceptions,-the
outbreak of speculative activity in
United States Steel, International Mer-
camille Marine and Reading affecting
the entire market. On Tuesday this
activity assumed aggressive proper
tons. These securities reached the
highest prices on this movement,
Steel making a new record and the
days total sales ran over 100000
shares; the three shares just men
tened constituting about one-third of
the days transactions. The activity
If Steel was based upon the phenom-
email earnings of the company, which
surpassed all possible imagination and
inevitably placed the company in an
exceedingly strong position for meet
ing future emergencies. These profits
naturally created a belief that the
company cannot indefinitely refuse
stockholders larger share in present
prosperity. AS for the future of the
steel trade, it is recognized that war
orders cannot last much longer, and
it is peace, not war, which in future
must determine the basis of progress
Reconstruction demands after the
war will, as is already known, be
enormous. Neither Great Britain nor
Germany will be able for some time
to come to meet the demands upon
them from this source. The devasta-
| ton of Europe will cause an enormous

Attention is called to the Pittsburg

1t occurs to the Minneapolis Messen-
ger that the old soldier vote in Europe
will amount to something-if the war
ceases long enough for an election and
or there are any soldiers left to vote.
The Mankato Western Advocate con-
fesses that it is just old-fashioned

take enough time off from making

you call men hard names.
Some men look upon religion as
sort of moral fire escape.
Cold storage is a failure when it
comes to keeping an engagement
Don't forget to laugh when your
boss tells a joke with whiskers on it,
Some men are born poets, but most
editors have poetry thrust upon them.
Why isn't a family tree with a ghost
roosting on one of the branches
shade tree?
A shrewd politician is one who
knows just how much the dear people
will stand for.
When a woman breaks a mans
heart he hurriedly patches it up again
for some other female smasher.
Instead of running away from your
work try to find a more efficient way
of doing it. That is the secret of sue
cess.

might as well tell you why I came at
this hour of the night. 1 was afraid
If I'd suggest coming Maud would just
raise general bedlam. So, as 1 didn't
want to worry her, slid. Seer
John stopped short in his tracks.
Look here, Bill, that's hard to swal-
low. 1 can't imagine Mrs. c. being
anything but a perpetual dyed-in-the-
wool angel. L don't believe she could
get mad >"
Mad! Your Henrietta isn't one,
two, three to her when her temper's
up"
Henrietta! What do you mean? I
never knew anyone with a more bal
anced disposition. She's the sweetest,
most amiable girl you can imagine,
and if she hadn't been the prize she is
she'd have left a miserable hot-tem-
pered scalawag like me long ago.
Humph! snorted John.
Excuse mer sighed Billy. The
fact was he could hardly understand
his neighbours sudden fury. Secretly
he had always envied him Henrietta's
disposition. If only Maud would go
off at tangent sometimes so he
could coax her back! If she'd only
fight SO they could kiss and make up.
Anything to take away the deadly mo-
notony of perfection.
They turred a corner and the bright
light of the station doomed ahead
The two men entered the waiting
room just as the hands of the big
electric clock pointed to five minutes
of train time.
But John was thinking of other
things than the time ard made no eff
fort to purchase his ticket 1t &C.
Cured to him that he had more than
half meant what he said to Billy "I
suppose it has been my fault mostly"
he argued. I'll bet 1 am hard to get
along with, and 1.ere I've been put
ting the blame on Henrietta. Besid es,
I'd as soon get sick and tired of her if
she was always the same, like Maud
Crinkle.'
BILLY, I'm going home,'' he sud-
denly declared. I'm not feeling very
Well"
And Billy, suddenly realizing that
Maud might discover his absence and
worry herself sick. said eagerly Then
I'm not going a step, either. I'll not
desert you now"
And when the big express Numbered
in, the two men might have been seen
hurrying away into the dim vista of

CLOCKS.

CLOCKS
1t stands in its place in the hail,
A piece of the far long ago.
Mahogany, dignified. tall,
The sun. moon and season to show,
Its music is mellow and slow,
We bark to its pompous tick-tack-
The Grandfather's timepiece know,
But where is the Grandmother's clock?
Pray. did she escape from the thrall,
Escape from the years saddest blow?
Old time stand still at her call
Twas useless to measure the flow?
Perhaps in her glory and glow
She made of the tyrant a mock.
In vain do we curious grow,
But where is the Grandmothers clock:
Or did she like womenfolk all
Sweep, mother and bake. scrub and sew?
To reckon the minutes would gall,
Was this then the sum of her woe
A task when the sun would set low,
A task at the crow of the cock?
The pendulum swings to and fro,
But where is the Grandmother's clock?
Time answers from under the pail
And kindly the riddle unlock;
The Grandfather stands by the wall,
But where is the Grandmother's clock

Today is the time for the counciling
in Kansas by the several state political
i,nrties. And under our present pr1-
mary and election system these party
deliberations will be in the hands and
mouths of the candidates who have
been nominated for the state and
county offices and the party political
managers in the several counties, and
other political divisions of the COM
nionweaIth. Perhaps the time will
come. and possibly at no distant date.
when Kansas will have primary and
election system under which the lay
men in the parties will have some
thing more than an exceedingly indi-
rect voice in the framing of the plat
forms and policies of their PARTIES and
en- which their candidates for office
shall wage their campaigns.
