My Indoor Garden.

When wake robin and columbine
The woods no longer know.
When bobolinks take migrant wing
Before the coming snow,
When mountain brooks that leaped and
ran,
Beneath the ice flow slow,
And upland pastures smoke with fires
From wasted dust of bareback spires;
Then, on my hearth 1 heap the pine
But still the summers joy is mine;
For here in a small maiden's eyes
Is lupine's blue to mock dun skies;
And as she fits on footsteps light
Are goldfinches in dipping flight.
] hear her tongue. so seldom still,
With chattering birds my rafter fill,
And In her smile is sweet, for bees
Or cumming birds on wing to seize
Where clings her tiny hand on mine.
! find green moss and creeping vine.

AS some poor Indian woman
A captive child receives,
And warns 1t in her Bosom,
And Ger it's weeping grieves;
And comforts IL with kisses,
And strives to understand
Its eager, lonely babble,
Fondling the little hand
So Earth, our foster-mother,
Yearns for us, with her great
wild heart, and croons in murmurs
Low, inarticulate.
She knows we are white captives,
Her dusky race above,
But the deep, childless bosom
Throbs with it's brooding love.

Holders of securities Of Mexican oil
properties Oh the other side Of the At
lantc appear TO be equally perturbed
with spectators and investors here
over the reports of increasing quanti-
ties Of salt water in the Mexican fields.
In London Mexican Eagle shares, like
our own Mexican Petroleum stock, have
had sharp fall in the market. and a
stage was reached in their decline that
caused representatives OF a dozen Lon
don Stock Exchange firms to approach
the London agent OF Mexican Eagle to
obtain information so as to be able to
answer the many inquiries reaching
them almost daily from the large pub
lie interested in the property. The re
PLY was made that there was no ground
for alarm and that various we'll known
oil fields IN Mexico. after having pro-
6uced large quantities Of OIL went to
salt water in successive periods. In the
case Of Mexican Eagle it was asserted
that the company had further large
areas Of oil-bearing territory held in
reserve for future development. Alto
gether the company holds oil rights on
between 900 and 100000 acres in
Mexico London Stock Exchange
correspondent. commenting on the
Mexican situation. says: The specu
lative risks attaching to the industry
are sharply silhouetted by the latest
developments, and oil drilling must
take its place alongside gold mining as
charged with all the elements of risk

general improvement in the iron and

stockholders of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation at the annual meeting yes

ever, Mr. Grace said, the indications
were that 1921 would be lean year.

There was big demand for stocks
in the loan crowd at the close of yes

premium during the market session,
loaned at an eighth after 3 O'clock.
Sears Roebuck and American Sugar

A Wide Spread

Maintaining fair market in certain
industrial stocks traded in lover the

days for the specialists An example
OF what they have to contend with is
afforded in the case OF Chevrolet

ing in the hands of the public has been
much reduced Trades are made occa-
sionally in the stock, however, but the
market is extremely wide. Yesterday,
for instance, Chevrolet was quoted

The change in the worlds price
