New York Market
FINANCIAL

New York, Sept. 30.-In its essential
characteristics, today's stock market
traversed the ground made familiar by
contrary movements of the last fort
night. Industrials extended their losses,
while rails and utilities were relatively
strong.
Further downward price revision and
curtailment Of operations were noted in
several of the important lines of trade,
especially the automobile industry and
advices from steel centers strengthened
the impression Of impending price con-
cesslons by Independent manufa cturers.
Selling agents of the leading copper
companies were reported to be offering
the refined product at a fraction under
recent prices and other base metals
notably lead and copper, were quotably
lower.
Equipment shares eased with steels,
despite the belief that the transportation
companies are completing plans for pur-
chases of large quantities of materials
in the final quarter OF the year and oils
were less resilient than usual.
The only noteworthy stock market
feature was an early drive against the
shorts in crucible steel, which carried
that stock up Sl2 points to 135, the net
gain, however, being only N points
Other issues Of the same class were lower
by fractions to almost points at the
irregular close.
Rails made their highest quotations in
the last hour on brisk inquiry for
seasoned issues Of the Pacific and
granger divisions at net advances of /
to about 2 points, while secondary rails
also hardened moderately and specialties
sustained additional losses. Sales amoun-
ted to 925,000 shares
Call money opened at 7 per cent, rose
to in the early afternoon and closed
at 8, the maximum rate of the past few
weeks, Time money was scarce. save
for 80 and 60 day renewals and foreign
exchanges, especially London and Paris
rates continued to react.
Convertible railway bonds were active
and strong, liberties irregular and for
eign issues featureless. Total sales,
tpar vRIuel aggregated $4,000, ,00o Old
United states bonds unchanged on call.

older brother as he came home from where he was working downtown and told my father and mother what he had done-enlisted in the local militia company. My mother didn't say any thing. She went back to the kitchen and pretended that something was keeping her very busy, but my father crossed to the closet where he kept his Civil war relics-his discharge pa, pers, his badges, dagger taken from a Confederate f0u. v0m1rT now the people who have since moved in and moved out of that old house have used that closet.
 It wasn't much of a war, but along in July they started to ship some of the boys in those thick, hot uniforms back from Chickamauga. They shipped them back on cots, and when they lifted them off the train they were such skeletons we hardly recog- nized them. At least half had typhoid fever before the last of them, drib- bling home by handfuls, had returned. Six of them died. The insanitary camp had proven as disastrous as any enemy bullets. Our boys, "brave as the bravest," were unprepared for the strenuousness of war.
 My brother didn't come back on a cot, but he came back with the color gone for good from his cheeks, and where 1t had been easy for him to laugh before he now made unsuccess- full attempts. And yet he came back uncomplaining. He sat around the house for day or two. I remember the nights were beginning to get cool right after school. the tomato vines had already been frosted and the yard was filtered with fallen maple leaves. Then he went about it to pick up the threads of life where they had been broken. No-no country could lick the United States. History had re- peated.
 And the years passed. I remember going back home once along about Decoration day. The old place Lad run down a good deal and things had changed I noticed the gray hair on fathers head when he came in from the garden and took off his hat; no ticed mother limp as she nervouSly pottered about to tidy up the rooms as tribute to my unexpected arrival For long time they had been alone now-just the two of them.

Excuse me leaving before the ladies, but l am a man of regular habits," and woggling his head from side to side he hopped aboard his floating couch and making himself snug he closed his bulging eyes and was soon fast asleep.
 ''Father Frog is very nice," said Little-Girl. "He knows when it is going to rain, so he calls 'croak, croak,' that the thirsty flowers may know they are to have a good, long drink of sweet water"
 'He knows lots of big words" !" said Big-Boy, "'he must have learned them from the Dictionary Man"
 Madame Garden Manual fluttered her leaves and wrapping her covers about her, started toward the house.
 "Honeysuckles and briar bushes" she exclaimed, "I was to meet the Dictionary Man at four of the clock to discuss the meaning of some flow ere words. He is very helpful, and he has introduced me to Benjamin Botany, another library friend, who promises to be very interesting. Run, children, runw

. good many years now, but each time the day comes around I'm back there n fancy.
 There's no use going back any more .a-except in fancy. For the little white haired man who hung out the flag every Decoration day morning isn't \ there any more; strangers would be sitting on the front porch. There wasn't much sentiment in his makeup about most things, but he never missed hanging out that flag. He'd fought for it. A thousand times-now that it's too late-Tve been sorry I didn't take more interest when he tried to tell me about those days.
 Somehow, on those days, the sky seemed a bluer blue when the words of the speaker at the Monument of the Unknown Dead" were carried off by the faint breeze that muffled, too, the song of the quartette and the music of the village band. But close in my ears were the chirps of the in- sects in the bluegrass and the tweet of the robins that hopped about in the branches of the evergreens.
 There was one teacher we had who took her work seriously. She is gone now, too, but in those days her eyes Mashed vitality and the color came and went in her cheeks as she interpreted our history lessons. She was at her best when she told us of the treachery of Benedict Arnold, the man who thought more of personal ease and comfort than he did of his country at ., time when its existence was in jeopardy. How she taught us to hate Benedict Arnold and all that his name stood f0ri

Father Frog and the "Lowly Worm


 "Croak, croak, croak," objected old Father Frog, 'I am getting hoarse. They promised to be down to see me on the third day of the third month at three of the clock and they haven't come," and he opened his mouth wide and put out his sticky tongue and caught dozen imp flies that were going to lay in- sect eggs on the plant leaves. Father Frog was a friend of the garden and Madame Garden Manual found him very useful.
 "Croak, croak, croak," Father Frog was all puffed up; he was up set because he was a gentleman of regular habits and didn't like to change them.
 "Hee, ho, he-ho, he-ho! called Big Boy.
 "He-he-he-o-o," piped the little Elf-Man, don't forget me-"
 "We weren't going to, but you said you would ride on Father Frogs back" reminded Little-Girl.
 He said what?" asked Father Frog, swelling up with offended dig nifty.
 "That I would jump on a frogs back and take a ride," said the Little Elf Man, "but not your back, sir"
 "That is we'll. You must remem- Der that 1 am very old and even if you are fairy you must not take liberties"
 "Down in the ground lived a little
 earth worm, All that he knew was to twist and to
 squirm,
 One day they caught him and put
 him on hook And that was his end, says my little,

Old Oscar Owl Helps the Garden
- - 0zoE

"Poor old owl, he can't see in the daytime, can he, Garden Lady?" asked Big-Boy.
 "Not very well, for the pupils of his eyes are very sensitive to the strong light of day, so he contracts them; that is, he makes them small until they are mere sits; then of course he can see but little. But when night comes the pupils of his eyes become very large and he has keen sight. He then hunts the field mice that eat the grain, and the barnyard owl is better than a cat for catching mice in a granary." Doesn't he eat birds?" asked the Elf Man, who was swinging on a long, slender bridal bush switch. Sometimes he does, but you must know that certain birds tease and torment him; because of his poor eyesight they follow him around and insult him, by picking and pecking until the poor owl is glad to see the moon rise and the sun go down. You see even some of our sweet little birds can be unpleasant at times. The crow and the blackbirds are his worst tormentors, and some people say the crows and blackbirds harm the grain fields" The Garden Man ual Lady looked off into the clump of trees and the children wondered if Oscar Owl was among the dark branches and could hear her words of praise. They felt worried for him He seemed to lead such a lonely life around in the dark. It was fine to know that he was a friend of the garden.
 Little-Girl clapped her little pink and white hands, and Big-Boy spat- ted his bigger brown ones. "Hurrah for the Elf Man." cried Big-Boy, "he can make a poem."
 "He can make a noise," corrected old Father Frog; eff I couldn't sing better than that I would keep my mouth shut" and he opened it very wide, for several imp flies were sail ing in his direction, and he wasted no time in putting out his sticky tongue and catching every one of them in the trap.
 every we'll done," said Madam Garden Manual. "Very we'll done, indeed You deserve a decoration from the School Garden Army. l am proud of you"
 Old Father Frog puffed up until he was in danger of splitting his white vest; that would have been a calamity; for it wasn't changing day, for you must know that Father Frog changes his colors ever so often; quite frequently, in fact.
 ''Father Frog has glue on his ton gue," said the Elf Man im-pu-dent- ly; "that's how he can catch flies"
 "Croak, croak, croak, cr-cr-oo-a-a- k' Father Frog was in a hopping temper and Madam Garden Manual had to ask him in her sweetest voice to remember his dignity. This calm ed him at once.
 "That is just the trouble, madame, but I apologize to you. This elf per son compromises my dignity by his light manners. It is true that l have

asked Father Frog.
 "Why, l was singing a little song about the, earth worm," faltered the Elf Man, "he is the gardens friend; he pushes his way in and out, in and out under the earth and he breaks up the sod and lets in the water and refines the humus. Yet some people dig him up to put on hook for fish 1 bait"
 "Well, the Earth People have to have fish for food. Perhaps he is fulfilling his destiny," said the Frog, ''who knows? And I wish you wouldn't sing You hurt my ears"
 "oh, come now, Froggie,p said the Garden Manual Lady who had fol- lowed the children down to the pond, ''the' Elf Man has a very remarkable voice for one so small and he is quite right about the earth worm. 1t is foolish for the Earth People to take such a busy little helper out of the soil when they might find some other bait. Why he is helping them to get food by preparing the soil for things to grow"
 The Garden Manual Lady minded neither the wet grass nor summers suns nor rain nor mind; she just lived outdoors. Now the Story Book Lady was afraid of getting her ruff1y skirts soiled, so she only came out on fair days. She said she could en- joy all kinds of weather in her stor- ies but in real life she wanted calm. The Dictionary Man agreed with her because of the crick in his back, and they seldom ventured off the porch when the. others of the party were getting soggy though happy in a gentle rain or the fresh morning dew
 "Tell about Father Frog and what good things he does to the garden, Garden Manual Lady," said Little Girl.
 But Father Frog was bashful and didn't want to be praised. "I am feeding myself, am I not? Oh, we'll, perhaps l do help-croak, croak, croak," and he puffed up again and looked so funny that Little-Girl wanted to laugh but she was afraid that it wouldn't be polite. Besides, he was afraid that he would burst. Down on the bank of messy pond Lives fat old frog who is very fond Of all imp bugs that the garden
 blight.
 Old Father Frog gives them a ter
 rible fright"
 The Elf Man was singing another song and Father Frog pretended to be very much insulted, but, indeed he was fiattered to be called a good friend of the garden, so he just puffed up and croaked at the Elf Man just as you have seen a big dog bark at a little one that is an moving it; as for being fat he was very proud that he could puff up at will. 1t always made him look im- portant and impressed his visitors. And as for being old, he rather liked that; wisdom comes with age and he was counted seer among the gar den folk.
 ''The Elf Man is inclined to tease," said the Garden Manual Lady. "But he wouldn't be an Elf Man if he were solemn and silent like Old Os- car Owl who lives in the clump of trees by the gate. Not that oscar Owl is bad neighbor, for he catches mice for his supper and mice eat the farmers grain. By Cecilia Reynolds Robertson.

1 been down South, down in the old South-Mississippi
 'Well," said my father, going over to the sink to wash his hands, you've come home. When I call upstairs for you now in the mornings I'll get an answer. Mother will tell you call up there every morning just the same, even though I know there's no one there. Maybe you can help me weed my garden, my backs pretty lame from getting down among those onions. And the lawn ought to be moved. To- morrow's Decoration day and the parade will be going past here."
 "That's something I've missed these last two years," said. Do they still keep 1t going?"
 The look that came into their faces
 "Still keep it going?" my mother gasped. "What kind of teachings did you pick up down thereT
 "They were all right. mother" I as- sured her, "but I never heard March ing Through Georgia sung at all and they did show me how there was a good deal of bunk in Uncle Toms Cabin and there wasn't much para disc about those Northern prisons either, ! learned. But I was sitting out on the porch this morning watch ing tine automobiles go by. Most of them were driven by folks who have only been over in America a few years folks who came over here and picked out the land that's jumped to such a high price. It struck me how you had grubbed along here as pioneers, put ting up with all the hardships, driv- ing 30 miles for flour while you waited for the railroad and going through all sorts of privation. And now the coun- try around here's settled-two-thirds of it by foreigners who haven't yet lost their old country accent-and where's your part of the results? Maybe you've given too much thought to your war relics and the state encampments of the G. A. R. and the LincOln's birthday meeting and all that stuff. It seems to me"
 My boy" my father began in tone that told me his fighting blood was up, Eff you'd given the best four years of your life fighting for some thing as we had to fight you'd feel differently about it. Maybe l didn't realize fully what 1t meant when I went in--I was only eighteen-but l knew what 1 was fighting for by the time we stopped that charge at Get tysburg. We had 'cOpperheads' then folks who said the war was foolish and stayed home to make profit from 1t. It's all vague to you-you came so long afterward. You can't understand how we old fellows feel when we come across one another wearing the little bronze button, but I wouldn't exchange my little bronze button for all the au! tomobiles in the county!"
 Yes, there's strangers living in the old house now. They've probably changed things around a lot; it was pretty Old-fashiOned inside The last time l went by it 1 couldn't stand to take any more than just a buried glance in it's direction, but I saw they'd cut down the lilac bushes. Yet l fancy they hang out a flag on the old porch on Decoration day morning. They'd have to; his spirit would make them do it.-Chicago Tribune
