tTHE BOUNCING BIDDY."

Twas In the year OF 'sixty-three.
l ran away to sail the sea,
And learn to be q sailor.
Our vessel was q clipper ship,
I'll never forget that awful trip,
We made with Captain Taylor.
She was the fastest craft aflOat,
A bOnny bouncing sort Of boat,
TwOuld make q guy feel giddy.
Her name was painted fore and aft,
They. called the saucy little craft
"The Bouncing Biddy"
One day while sailing DER the main,
We ran Into q railroad train.
That stood upon q tresSeI.
And as our masts went overheard,
Our noble Captain loudly rOared:
Farewell, my bOnny veSgeli
Bring up the biggest cask of rum,
And dish Ii out to everyone;
Look sharp, We blooming middyW
And OIL 1t was q sight to see,
We all got drunk as we could be.
On board the Bouncing Biddy.
Whenever q wave would wash the deck,
And sweep sailor from the wreck
We thought we all would smother.
But as we rode the mighty swell,
The drunken crew would loudly YELL
Aha! there goes anOther?
80 one by one they passed away,
Before the breaking of the day;
And I'm the only MILDLY"
Now left to tell the awful tale,
The sole survivor Of the gale
That wrecked the Bouncing BIddy.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-Heavy buying of Sugar company bonds and bad break in the New Haven issues on publication of reports, later denied officially, that a reorga nization was contemplated, were the chief features of today's active deal ing in bonds on the stock exchange. Ac- tive United States government issues official reports that no new government financing was contemplated before March 15. French government securities were reactionary. the 7hs and ss dropping about a point each to es and 93% respec lively. Lyons 6s dropped 1A and Uru- quay Ss, 1, while Mexican As moved up a point
 Eastern Cuba Sugar 7hs was the fea- ture of the trading in that group. After opening at 105h Saturday, and closing at 10s. they opened today at 109, climbed to 1l3H. and then fell back to 110k, or up 2A on the day. Punta Alegra Is showed extreme gain of 3h points and Goodyear ss of 1881 were in good de- mand, but Donner Steel refunding Is were weak.

l NEW HIGH LEVELS
 REACHED BY MANY ISSUES UPON CURB

NEW YORK, Feb. 13. = Another series of bullish demonstrations in special stocks sent number of issues to new high levels for the year in today's curb market. the most ac- tive of the year, but heavy profit taking later caused some irregulari- ty The number of individual shares traded in was the largest this year.
 Higher prices for various grades of crude oil resulted in active specu- lation in the oil group. New high records were established by Salt Creek producers at 23s, Mutual oil at 15 and Mountain producers t Is s, these prices being shaded somewhat before the close. Gulf Oil of Penn sylvania closed BE points net higher at 621a Gains of to points also were recorded by Cumberland Pipe. Standard Oils of Kentucky and Ohio and Humble Oil.
 The feature of the industrial list was a break from 72k to Ga in Glen Alden Coal. refleeting speculative disappointment over the failure of the directors to place the stock on a $6 dividend basis. It closed at 67A. Goodyear Tire issues moved to new high records on reports of increased earnings but were unable to hold their gains.
 Diversion of speculative interest to certain industrials resulted in rela- lively less activity in the mining shares, changes in which were com paratively unimportant.

 ouSy and Distrust
(Continued From Page One.)

of good will and however important may be the special topics of discus sion, the permanent values of the conference lies in the fact that here are generated powerful currents of mutual understanding and friendly interest supplying the motive power through which any remnants of sus- picion and distrust may be removed and the injurious influences of car Her antagonisms may be overcome. Elimination Of oDnr2el.. o 2
 All problems find solution among those who desire to be friendly and just and the present imperative de- mand of civilization itself is that nations shall set themselves, with all the resources of their intelligence and skill to the elimination of sources and diligently seek. for their mani- fold ills. the cures which can only be found in friendship and good faith.
 Tn this conference of American republics it is sought not only to buttress the foundations of amfty, but to take full advantage of its op- relations require many advantageous arrangements which our future rela- tions make possible. The conviction which has led these gatherings is that of a distinct community of in terest among the republics of this hemisphere that 1t is no prejudice to other interests wisely to conserve our own. These republics, each ap- proximately safeguarding it's sover- eighty and independence, voice the sentiment which is the essence ot Pan Americanism sm-the sentiment ot mutually beneficial cooperation.
 There are happily no controversies that cannot be settled by the pro- cesses of reason. No interest IS cherished which could prompt ag- gression. There Is no nation among us which entertains any ambition which runs counter to the aspira- tions of our free peoples. We re- joice in expanding life; we are proud of our traditions and achievements; we all desire the development of re- sources, increased facilities of educa- ton and the improvement of common lot of humanity. This conference means the practical direction of our material and spiritual forces to gain for all the American republics the enhanced prosperity which waits on the friendly collaboration of states secure in their recognized equality. in their mutual respect and in the supremacy of the common sentiment of justice.
