Agitation Killed Market

"The immediate effect was an idle
wholesale market. Prices began to
drop in an effort to tempt buying. But
still there was no buying. II was a
most remarkable situation. A few
days ago these products were in con-
slant demand at ever-increasing prices.
Over Sunday large shipments came
from the West, and Monday found the
wholesalers ready to meet the demand.
But the agitation and publicity given
the subject over the weekend practi-
cally killed the market.
at is too early for the slump in
wholesale prices TO have an effect on
retail prices. but in day or two retail
purchasers should reap the benefit If
the situation continues a short time
will suffice to bring prices down to
something like normal.
Promises are good for permanent
relief. Western railroads report large
shipments of potatoes consigned for
New York. Two Spanish ships have
arrived here with millions of pounds
of onions, and the public apparently has
resolved to buy sparingly of those ar
ticles which cost most. Receipts of
food products are now in great
er quantity than they were a year ago.

Joseph Hartigan, Commissioners of

sale dealers "were in a panic" because
retailers had suddenly ceased TO buy,
and the wholesalers, fearing an over
loaded market, began TO reduce prices.
He said il would be several days be

Prices on other foodstuffs are ex-
pected TO drop alphabetically and, &C
cording TO figures compiled by Mr.
Hartigan, the tendency toward reduc-
tions is already in motion. His re
ports showed retail prices compared
with those Of last Wednesday, to be:
Sugar, 8 cents a pound; a drop Of

And then as she turned the mare

laughed.
In his turn Steve set Ragtime's head
toward the town in the valley. And

She did not want to sleep. She was

boots and breeches and riding coat and
descended to order a not too wide
awake groom to saddle horse. And
in the very middle of his sensational

swung to the saddle and turned to-

Mile after mile, the roam mare plac-

One small, gauntleted hand made an
almost imrerceptible gesture toward
the unoccupied space beside her on the
fallen tree. But he chose the ground
at her feet. And after he had dispos-
ed his long length to his liking he an
swered her hurried question-ansWereG
it with an amiably lazy deiberation
that promised a sure return to a topic
of his own choosing, in his own good

statement. "He found me. And it

entirely boyish figure in diminutiye

into her flushed face, softly and not
quite steadily at her hostile indigna-

his wonder Of her herself.

Welded SIXTY-FOUR YEARS.
And a Cuss Word Has Never Passed
Between This Couple.


In a day of hasty divorces, when
minds are turning to seek ways in
which married couples may live hap
PLY, credit is due to M. and Mrs
Charles BOdine OF Philadelphia, who
have been married sixty four years.
The fact tbat they have lived together
that long is interesting in itself, but
their chief claim to public notice Is in
their statement that they have never
QuarIeled or even exchanged q cross
word.
The wife ascribes her happiness TO
these causes:
Because / think there is no one like
father.
Because am always willing to
humor his little ways.
Because | will DO anything in the
world to please him.
Because | have always given him
plenty Of good food.
Because | have always praised him
when he deserved it.
The husbands viewpoint of the mari
tai partnership and the reasons which
he finds for the unmarried felicity OF
himself and his wife are contained In
the following:
Because / think my wife is the finest
woman in the world.
Because never have q vacation IN
less she goes too.
Because | have always been ready
to listen to what she has to say.
because | have never wanted any
body else but 'motheE
The fact is that this couple continued
courtship after marriage and each con-
tributed to the union love, respect and
willingness to make sacrifices, each for
the other, in the little as we'll as the big
things. Most marital unhappiness is
based on MISUNDERSTANDING.

I'm not asking to be sure of you yet.
I'd never want to be too sure of you
unless all the rest of my whole world
had come tumbling down. And then
then I'd need to know always that I

His slow. infinitely gentle voice stop
ped. He sat head up before her. Then
silently they mounted their horses and
rode toward the town.
She rode with wide eyes fastened
upon his face; rode with lips parted,
all else submerged in that wonder
which quickened her breath. Once she
then shook her head at the made
quacy of the words They topped the
last rise in the dusty, winding road
and raised the river basin and the
town itself in that long period of ST

the roam mare.
Quite on mutual impulse they
clasped hands and looked into each
others eyes-quite unnecessarily it
may have appeared to the small group
on the veranda of the stucco and tim
Der place halfway down the slope be-
tween them and town-and there on
the crest of the hill, suddenly con-

Her chin came up; the line Of her
lips lost it's soft fullness. 1t was his
hot face which made her aware of how
surely her imperiously quick orders
had stung him. Then she was back,
knee to knee, at his side.

minute! l sent her to bed, and l

hour or two. Why, MI. O'N1ara, I'd
never believed that a girl could care

She sat long time, nursing one slim
knee between her palms.
''Mr. O'Mara," she appealed to him
at last chow might one reopen "a
rather difficult subject with-With
suddenly most difficult conversational
ist?'
Without turning his head he made
answer:
II think Fat Joe's method is as good
as any," he suggested. "Joe says the
only way to reopen any argument is to
take a running jump and land, all
spraddled oct, right in the middle Of
it. He insists that such procedure
leaves no doubt in the mind of any one
that the discussion is about to be re-
sumed."
She laughed little.
"Then shall we consider that I've
taken the-the jump and landed?'
Just when she was wishing most
that she could see his face he swung
around toward her. Again his gravity
was totally gentle thing. It made
her remember the self possessed kind

and Steve could not help but smile a
