Hopper first came into prominence
month or so ago when he made a
savage attack on ono OF the oamels

then he has been going from bad 10

LimouSlnes driven BY women arc
Hoppers special prey. lie knows that
women are too tender hearted to run
over him, so when he sees an cleo
ttic approaching he runs in front OF
the wheels. The driver stops and
opens the door TO see what damage
has been done Hopper then Jumps
inside. and the result usually is that
he is taken for a joy-ride as far as
the car is going.

A third speciality is to get in the
back OF delivery trucks. He has
made friends with a number OF driv-

The good roads bill introduced in
the senate yesterday by Senator c.

The senate measure vests the gov
ernor with complete authority oil

and divides the selection Of member,
OF the commission between the two
political parties in the house and SEN

what he said Of the Nesbitt bill. Tha,
Is, that in a general way II Is salts

Activity.

NEW YORK. March Isl. s.
Industrial Alcohol was the favorite
in strength and activity in today's
stock market, that stock showing
an advance of about six points. The
balance of the market moved with
in a narrow range throughout the
session and stocks appeared TO be
for sale on the hard spots which
indicates that some people believe
the general market is high enough
for the present. There was no news
OF importance.
With money rates showing an easy
tone, fundamental conditions strong
and public opinion in favor Of higher
prices we believe sood stocks should
be purchased on declines which are
bound TO occur from time 70 time
when the technical position of the
market is impaired by being over
bought. Market closed at slight de-
clines in prices.
