"Hc would sing an old time darky
song to the guitar and finish 1t by
dancing an intricate little step; he

Menace of city sport.msn.

'@The quail, or bobwhite,r says a writer in Farm and FiresiAe, ifs one of our prettdest as wen as one of our most useful birds. He deserves to be called national bird just as much as the American eagle. Why should the farmers and land owners allow his de struction and what seems to be his eventual extermina<ion7
 Hunting is . pleasure and recrea- ton farmer could have night at home on his own farm if hc could save the game from the city sportsman Why could not the farmer, when he has per nattted the quail to multiply and to be- come a benefit and blessing to the community, have the much needed recreation in shooting the surplus game? I think the farmers could be 50 organized that they could control the wandering and the wantonness of the city spoTtsman and preserve bobwhite and other game"

Th. Publio mak.s tt. M.rket.


 The public makes the stock market. The impression that few operators can advance or lower prices as they please is sadly mista ken one. If this could be done by a dozen men, or by a hundred, or thousand, there would be no need a stock market, for these gentlemen could combine and enrich themselves beyond the dreams of ava rice.
 . No; the stock market is made by the public. When the public Is scared and refuses to buy the market laIguishes, business halts, and uncertainty pre- vails- When the public is badly scared it becomes panic stricken and unloads by wholesale, and all must take their losses, big and little operators alike I do not mean to say that large op- erators are not able to influence the market to certain degree and under favorable conditions, but they cannot do this to the extent that most persons imagine They make their money by operating skillfully on the aide that they think win win, whether the bull or the bear side.-Jasper in Leslie's.
