The greatest happiness is in the
greatest usefulness.
The horse running loose out on the
labor-free life; and, a certain kind of
enjoyment. But let him become har-
messed up and yield himself to the
harness and respond to the calls for
service which come to him, he will be
far more useful and, if he is capable
of it, far more happy.
The care-free life Of one who is not
harnessed up to some definite useful
enss, falls short of the greatest and
most abiding joy. How seasons of
hilarity and seasons Of depression
often follow each other in such a
case! w. ~>~s .--~. .., ..ss.

Seeing the Girls Home in Vermont.
And clubs and things begun to meet,
And singing school was running strong,
And magic lanterns come along
Twas nothing strange that girls and boys
Should kinder share each others joys :;
But, when you scarcely hadn't seen

1t took some nerve I'll tell YOU that
To walk right up to Minnie Pratt,
Or Flora Flagg. or Susie Guile,
Or any girl that dressed in style,s
And ask if Won could see her home.

You had to ask her right in sight
OF half the folks. and where twas light /;
You had to use your optics SO
You seed her, though she didn't know +;
And yet. you had to wear the air
OF one who simply happened there;
You spoke to everybody near
And showed no signs of funk or fear,
But kinder fixed your walking stick
I'm shape to move COMPOUNDED quick,
And, when the supreme moment came,
You stepped right up and spoke her name.
My Gracious If she smiled and said,
With pleasure, Mr.. Buttonhead,"
You felt a load fal! off your back
As heavy as a pedlar's pack,
And grabbed her arm with such a pinch
She side-stepped bout half an inch;
Recovering from this slight alarm,
You eased a trifie on her arm,
And walked along so brave and true
You didn't care who spotted you;
And when she said. Good evening, Ben,
You vowed you'd not be scarf again,
But its. fact-you amt TO blame
You'll be worked up about the same.

Market News 5

NEW YORK. May 5.-Stock sales today were 1,250,00O shares. the largest total of any session this year. The activity was accompanied by gross gains of one to five points in nearly every quarter
 Among incidents which accelerated the advance were the optimistic views of Governor Harding of the federal reserve board and a concurrent re duction of the local re-discount rate for commercial paper
 The latter was generally interpret ed as proof Of the further relaxation of credits, the chief obstacles to i'm provement in trade and industry for six months. Rails dominated, more than score of those issues scoring advances of one to slightly more than three points. Features of this group comprised many of the low grade or ieorganized properties of the western and southern divisions
 Steels and railway equipments de- rived additional benefit from the United States Steel wage cut Steel common at it's best added nearly an ether point to yesterdays maximum, but this was shaded later. Improve ment in the independent steels was more substantial
 Shorts evidently deemed it advis- able to reverse their position in oils and motors and the same enforced procedure accounted for the strength of shippings, feathers. chemicals and food issues. where less material gains were registered
 The usual irregular conditions in the money market prevailed call loans holding firm on the exchange at per cent, with free offerings in the open market at 5&.
 Exchange on London was barely steady, but French, Belgian. Dutch and Italian rates continued to strengthen. even the German remit tance showing slight improvement.
