Just the Thing

George LETTER, the A. H. Woods
booking manager, is telling story
worth repeating A stock actor. who
was to appear in costume play, ac.
cording to George, went to a pawn
shop kept by Abraham Levinsky and
his wife to buy sword.
"Sure, got one" said the old man.
However he indie, ated by his actions
that he didn't know what a sword is
Finally he called his wife, who told
him she didn't think they had one
Noticing his evident confusion, the
actor made several stabbing motions
and said:
"You know what sword is. I want
to kill man." The old pawnbroker' s
face lighted in a smile.
"Oh," he said. so you want to kill
man. Ell? Veil then I sell you a
pistol"

Writes to Beethoven

A letter addressed to the composer
Beethoven was received in Vienna the
other day from a woman in the prov
inces. She wrote she had recently
heard some of his music and was
anxious to place her daughter under
his tuition. The postal authorities
delivered the letter at the house in
which Beethoven lived and where he
died so years ago. The concierge
said no such man resided there, so the
postman sent it to the dead letter Of
fee

Courtesy Pays

A man may fight fercely to hold his
own in business; but he does not need
to fight to get ahead of someone in
the elevator, or up the car steps, or
at the postoffice window. And no
matter how strong competition is,
business and personal courtesy make
it easier and pleasanter for every
body.

Flying in TriangleS

When focks of wild ducks and
geese have to go long distances they
form a triangle, to cleave the air more
easily, and the most courageous bird
takes position at the forward angle
As this is a very fatiguing position,
another bird ere long takes the place
of the exhausted leader.

BOOM IN STOCKS
AFTER HARD SLUMP
ENDS IN NEW DROP
Rush of Buying Short Lived,
but Second Rally Helps
Prices Again.

A short iived rally on the Stock
Exchange at O'Clock to-day pro-
duced one of the widest markets IN
months. After steady decline,
with practically all of the stocks
reaching new lows for the year, a
wave Of buying set in. Prices jumped
one, two and thre points between
transactions.
At one time General Motors ad-
vanced five points between sales
Baldwin Locomotive was run up from
l05 "a to 109 as fast as the excited
brokers could get in their bids. Cru
chile Steel went from POS 1-2 to 21O l-2
in the same manner. Other stocks
made almost as sensational advances.
The rally ceased as suddenly rs it
began, and practically all OF the
stocks fell off almost as rapidly as
they had advanced. The movement,
which only affected the highly specu-
lative stocks, was generally believed
to be a concerted effort to dive
shorts to cover.
It was assisted by a slight drop in
the rates for call money, which
opened at II per cent, dropped to l6
q just before . o'clock and to Is a few
minutes afterward.
! The rally was succeeded by a heav-
mess on the part of the entire list,
which left practically everything well
below las. nights close, making this
the fourth successive day Of the
decline.
United States Steel dropped to 81

EXPECT
NORMAL SCHEDULES
DURING RUSH HOUR
Hoboken Terminal of D. L. &
w. Ends Worst Storm Tie
up In Its History

Omoials Of the steam roads
handling the commuter throngs said
late this afternoon. that they have
been able to overcome the difficulties
caused by the storm and expect to
give trivually normal service whom
the rush starts hOmeward.
Trolley lines In Bergen County. N.
y are still finding II difiCuit TO over
come the handicap under which the
storm placed them.
The ID. L. & w, which brings in
approximately 10000 commuters
every morning. suffered the worst
he-up in years. During the early
morning hours travellers were delayed
on an average OF forty-two minutes,
but before noon sorNrioe was about as
usual.
The Central Railroad OF New Jer-
sey announced that by niEhtfan II
would have trains moving on sched-
ule with the exception OF a few trains
ON short runs, and that express trains
leaving at the usual time would make
the stops ordinarily made by the
dropped trains.
Train and trolley service on Long
Island was completely tied up. The
only service on the Long Island Rail-
road was occasional trains, far be-
hind SCHEDULE, running between
Jamaica and the Flntbush Avenue
Station.
Considerable anxiety was feh this
morning by Long Island Railroad Of
hcials for passengers on a wading
River Branch train. which has been
marooned n mile and one-half east
OF Kings Point since yesterday noon.
No word has been heard from the
train. and II is known that at this
point drifts have been piled up to a
height or twenty-five feet by the wind
sweeping in from the Sound.
Two passenger trains have been
stalled since yesterday afternoon be-
tween Douglaston and Bayside on
the Port Washington Branch OF the
Long Island Railroad.
Great snow drifts made westchester
County roads practically impossible.
Even on the heavily travelled roads
where horse-drawn snow swcepers
had attacked the previous fall Of
snow new drifts had formed over
night.
In the section between Mount Ver-
non and White Plains, hundreds OF
business men gave up the task Of
getting 10 their New York offices
until the snow sweepers should have
chance to cut through the drifts
which, because Of tho rugged charac-
ter Of the country, in many places
uhOked the paths to a depth OF five o.
six feet.
