Mark Wynne crept away from the room and Millte did not know, that he had heard those words until long afterward. Be- fore morning dawned again Peter Jen- kins' happy spirit had winged upward alone.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT IDEA.

Samuel Blythe, in the current issue of national
publication urges the voters of the country
both the democratic and republican parties and to
organize in their places conservative and rad-
cal party; the conservative stick close to the ira
ditons of the founders, and the radicals to engage
in nothing more radical than mild experimental
ton in new ideas in government
The great trouble with the Blythe suggestion is
that most Americans inclined to be radical
on some subjects and conservative others Most
Of them would like mild experiments along some
lines. but would balk others, for personal or
sentimental reasons say nothing of conscientious
scrupes.
1t is doubtful If Mr.. Blythe really hopes to get

The MARKETS


New York, April 5.--Stocks were
little more than steady at the out
set of today's session, firm but dull
during the intermediate period and
active and strong in the final hour
under the impetus of a broad in
quiry for standard rails and equip

Further liquidation for profits
accounted for the uncertain tone Of
the morning, although several Of

Coalers led belated demand for
rails, New York. Ontario & Western

these issues was noteworthy from
the fact that early rumors in the
financial district touched upon a
possible suspension of operations at

In our day and generation have become so
accustomed to the superlatve, the best In cheats,
frauds and fakes that only the colossal in size or
brilliant in execution attracts attention for longer
period than a few hours. This latest furnishes q
sensation that will not be forgotten easily. For

locate the directing agent of Organization that

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
MARK TWAIN STILL A "BEsT SELLER
(From the Brooklyn Eas

II the report is accurate that Gabriel Wells, deal
er in rare books. has Just paid to the p. r. Collier
& Son company 100000 for single edition de
luxe set of Mark Twains works. enhanced in value
by autographed title pages done by Mr.. Clemens
before his DEATH and also introductions to the var
ious volumes written by number Of we'll known
authors, that we may regard Mark Twain still
the best of best sellers. For it is estimated that
the Clemens estates royalty on this one sale will
be greater than contemporapeous best seller gets
from edition of 100000. and the general sale Of
Clemens works is keeping up. The assertion that
his earnings has been greater than those Of any
known writer in literary annals seems almost
justified.
Let the man or woman who has despaired OF
the American reading public be reassured. 1t Is
not true that "have altogether gone astray."
The sense and taste of the masses have not been
wholly demoralized. For Mark Twain Is. above
all other things, wholesome. human utterly free
from pruriency affectation. He never tried to
be Shakespeare or Milton or even W. D. How
ellis He found his own field and filled 1t. 1t is

Any reader can get Twain from the public IL
braries. In the nature of things. that makes ac-
tual sales the more impressive. The book-lover

"A sassafras leaf looks like a
hand inside glove, but only with
three fingers"
That's right, Susie" said Uncle
Wiggily, with another twinkle OF
his pink nose. Except that some
times a sassafras leaf has what you
might call but one finger, ana
sometimes it has two, and again
three, all on the same branch. Bu.
now let's hop along and see IL you
can pick out some sassafras."
Sammie and Susie were eager to
do this. They hoped beside the
bunny uncle and once Sammie
Istopped and cried:
"Tve found sassafras."
That's wintergreen,' said Uncle
Wiggily. Wen gather some of
that later"
HThen Susie stopped near little
bush and cried:
"This is sassafras!"
"No, that is birch" spoke Uncle
Wiggily. "Try again"
So the rabbit children tried again
and this time they found a sassa-
fras bush both at the same time.
Uncle Wiggily pulled up some Of
the roots, as they are stronger than
the bark for flavoring cakes. Sam
mie and Susie each took a taste.
"Oh, how good that isl" cried
Sammie, smacking his lips, for
though the sassafras was strong
and smarty, and would have hurt
your tongue, the rabbits did not
mind it.
II want a TASTE" said Susie, and
she nibbled q little OF the sassafras
root. Uncle Wiggily was pulling up
some more for Nurse Jane when, al
of sudden. the bad Bob Cat
jumped down out of tree.
~ want taste, tool" he howled.
II want a taste of whatever you
have there, and then l want lot
of ear-nibbles! But first I'll take
what you have" and, very impo-
litely, he made grab Of the sassa-
fras that Susie held in her paw.
Not knowing how strong and bit
ing it was, the Bob Cat took a big
nibble, but a moment later he drop
ped the roots, and stuffing his
front paws in his mouth. away he
ran. crying: lice water! Ice
water."
'Ia! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. "That,s the time he got Bit
tent" For though 1sassafras ism
too strong for rabbits, 1t is for Bob
Cats. Then when the bad chap had
run away the bunnies gathered
more of the smarty roots and took
them home. Nurse Jane favored
a cake with hers and Mrs. Little
tail made tea which cured Grandpa
lGoosy's cold, SO everyone was hap
py except the Bob Cat.
And IL the cow doesn't drink up
all the water in the goldfish bowl,

they'll have to fly like canary

was generally assumed by wheat
traders that deliveries on May con-
tracts in Chicago would be much
larger than had heretofore seemed
probable. Throughout the session
the effect was to increase selling
pressure on May and eventually to
weaken July and September. al
though at first the late months
showed gains on account OF some
uncertainty over crop conditions In
parts OF the winter wheat territory.
Slowness Of export demand for
wheat was subject of much COM
ment. The only new business with
Europe announced today was In

emily purchasing wheat on just
