Orange Shortage Is
 Likely This Christmas

Advices from Florida orange grow CTS to local produce men indicate that a shortage or oranges Is likely to be prevalent this year during the Christmas holidays. The oranges which will be on sale will probably bring slightly higher price than usual owing to the limited supply and strong demand. The causes at- tributed for the shortage is the fact of smaller acreage planted and ob- verse shipping conditions.

Bright Outlook In the Trading Centers
 Say Priuate Wires
sHANNON A CO.'S LETTER

New York, December -(Special) After considerable early irregularity with a mixed tone the cotton market turned firmer in the later trading on better spot advices indicating that domestic mills were again showing an interest,". The rally started in New Orleans and buying from that source was primarily responsible for the upturn here. which was helped along by local shorts covering their early sales made on depressing pri- vate cables form Liverpool, where some express the opinion that no real support from ancashire can be ex- pected before April.
 Our guess would be that if English mills postpone buying till that time they will find very poor selection quoted at pretty stiff prices. The and obstacles have not been entirely removed by any means, but 1t does not lack a good market to be short.
 Trading has been very active to- day, and the stock market in the main distinctly strong. New high levels have been reached in Pacific oil and one or two other specialties. Money has varied quite sharply in rate, ad- vancing at the close. As we get on In the month the expected December reaction has not occurred and this IS causing considerable uneasiness to the short position. In fact, a good deal of the buying In the past few days is attributed to this source. There is a rumor that Standard Oil of New Jersey is to declare a large stock dividend. The market evinces increasing breadth and activity pro ducing accommodating uneasiness in those short of stocks.-Post & Flagg.
 HUBBARD'S LETTER
 New York, December 15.-(Special.) ) The market has been quiet and steady during the day with slight improve ment in the afternoon due to fur ther short covering. The ticker re- ports Germany would be unable to pay the January indemnity in full was passed by without much comment.
 The trade is becoming more im- pressed all the time with the lack of pressure from the south and there fore are beginning to feel that the fact that the government estimate was larger than expected has little to do with the general situation be- cause of the steady consumption of cotton by American mills and larger exports to Europe.
 The British board of trade shows very large exports of yarns. which indicates that In spite of complaints to the contrary more business is be- ing done in England than generally believed.-Hubbard Bros & Co.

THE VALUE OF SILENCE.

The other day a man testified In
court that he told everything he
knew, and everything that happen
ed to him to his wife.
"Humph," commented the magis-
trate, you belong in Heaven!"
Or in the home for the feeble
minded, say i. For there is no
doubt that people get themselves
into trouble by talking too much in
the family circle, as well as outside
of it. Indeed, 1t. is even more dan
gerous to blab everything you
know. and think, and that you think
you think, to the partner of your
bosom than II is to a rank stranger
for strangers have not the same un-
canny memories that husbands and
wives have, nor have they the same
opportunities Of arising and cast
ing your communications in your
teeth.
Many are the men and women
who have been lured by some To-
quacious mood into telling to the
ones to whom they are married
the unexpuSgated stories of their
lives, and who have never heard
the last of 1t. Perhaps, they told
of some youthful folly. Perhaps
they confessed some wrong, COM
mitted years and years ago. and
that has been repented in sack cloth
and ashes, but, in either case, the
indiscreet babblers furnished the
whip of scorpions with which they
were fiayed the balance of their
lives. /,
There was never a family scrap in
which their Skeleton was not bru-
tally dragged out Of the closet
which II was hidden, and they were
made to live over again the old
shame and the old remorse. Worse
still, the man and woman who told
the things~that they should have
kept locked In their own breasts
furnished to their wives and hus-
bands and unending food for suspi-
cion, and doubt and jealousy.
The sinners may know that be-
cause they have once stumbled, they
will forever after watch their step;
that because they have been burnt
children they will hencefcrward
Keep a safe distance from the fire,
but II takes a bigger understand
ing than the average husband and
wife possess to enable them to ap-
preciate this. The minute they find
out that their idols have feet OF
clay they jump 10 the conclusion
that all the balance of them is mud,
and their faith Is gone in them.
When people get married each is
entitled to know that the other.
brings over no liabilities that will
endanger the prosperity of the new
firm. Beyond that the slate should
be wiped clean. and new account
started. so when either husband or
wife is tempted. to tell the other
things that are done and past, and
that cannot be helped. or remedied,
or changed now. and that would be
bitter knowledge 10 the one who is
ignorant of 1t, why. he or she should
go of and count a million back
wards before speaking
Never was there a more faIiacious
theory than that II makes for. do
nestle peace and happiness for hus-
bands and wives to tell each other
everything. On the contrary, what
people don't know don't hur, them.
and no other conversations should
be so carefully censored. and So

much deleted as that which takes
place between married couples.
Nine-tenths of the family squab-
bles could be prevented by a little
judicious silence. All married peo-
pie know that there are certain
subjects which even to mention is
like waving a red flag before a mad
bull. Why. then. should they not
avoid riling each other bN refrain
ing from discussing the topic that
is as good for a fight as a nickel is
for a ginger cake?
Women complain much about the
way their husbands lind fault with
them and criticize them. yet they
fail to realize that they, themselves,
furnish the inside Information on
which their husbands base their
structures. Except in extreme cases
OF extravaganza and bad cooking. no
man really knows what sort of a
manager his wife is except from
what she tells him herself.
Therefore, II every time she is
seduced by sign that something is
marked down from 81 to $I.sS into
buying an article she doesn't really
want or need, she runs to him and
tells on herself. IL she is always
telling him how much less some
neighbor runs her house on that
she runs hers: IL she blabs every
times she spoils garment in the
making, or ruins a dish in the cook
Ing, she Is simply impressing upon
her husbands mind that she is
thriftless, and a bungIer. and that
he hQQ a hrfn L.. h.
matrimonial bargain.
But IL she has sense enough to
keep her mistakes to herself and
put on the loud pedal when she
makes a good, trade. and cooks a
good dinner, she will convince her
husband that she is paragon
among wives, and he will brag about
her achievements to his fellows. II
there ever was time when a wom-
an should put a guard upon her
tongue, and be wary about what
she says, II Is when she talks to her
husband about herself.
And why should woman burden
her husband. as so many women
feel they have a right to do, with
all the unpleasant things that have
happened In the home during the
day. Suppose the wash woman did
fail to come. Suppose Johnny has
been bad. and Mary and the child
next door did have a fight, and the
cat ate the cream. and the butcher
delivered the roast when you tele-
phoned for chops and Sarah broke
a plate, and You got letter full of
walls from your mother and Mrs.
Jones did not invite you to her
party, and your new hat isn't be-
coming. They are all vexatious
enough trifies to you. but your hus-
band canf help a single one of them
and there Is no sense In worrying
him with them. Heaven knows. he
has troubles of his own, and Just
your srist> of doleful news is often
times the straw that breaks the
camel's back.
After all, a leaky vesselis pret-
ty poor thing. isn't il? And we
are weak. contemplate creatures
unless We have the strength to keep,
our own counsel, and this is true IN
every relation of life. Husbands
and wives should tell each other the
loving things, the tender. kindly.
things. tile things that will make
edeh other happier. The rest is ST.
