Brunt, who pitched brilliantly all the
way. Bradley played great ball be-

team hit the ball hard and timely and
accounted for most Of their runs with
their bludgeons.
Manager Vandervecr decided to
start his son against the Bradley
sluggers but the young man saw the
finish from the bench. 1t wasn't his
dad who Withdrew him, either, it was
his own good judgment, in fact the
best he used all day. He seemed to
put them In there where the boroites
liked them and consequently was
mauled to the extent of 10 sound hits,
including a homer by Singer that
bounded over the center field fence
Deboskey finished the game and was
touched for two safe blows but kept
the locals from crossing the plate dur
ing the inning and half that he work.

EGYPTIAN DONKEY BOYS.
Legs and Tongues Equally Active.
They Are canny Too.

"A happy go lucky lot are the donkey
boys of Egypt, bright and full Of fun,
quarreling one minute. then singing,
though the latter sounds to American
ears like an awful wall Of misery.
Scantily dressed in their blue gowns,
their bare feet toughened to endure
any heat or kind Of road, they add
greatly to the interest of the many
trips taken with them in their land.
The donkey boy has picked up a
few words Of English, which his quick
wit enables him to use effectively.
The demand for backsheesh is begun
at the first acquaintance and is kept
up constantly.
To reply with decision nothing"
or "Bulrra Tomorrow backsheesh,"
sometimes has a quieting effect. But
begging Is part of the business, and
cigarettes, books, white gloves and
slippers were asked for, while one boy
with seeming unselhshness pleaded
for money to buy sugar cane for his
donkey.
They sing the praises Of the animals
constantly. This very good donkey?"
HE very fast urging him on with
the "Ah-a-ah"; and you answer, mo,
don't go fast, Ala mahlak, ala, NAH
lak' Slowly. Upon which the boy
will urge. ooh. Madam, one gallop!'
Many of the donkeys were fine
looking and decorated with gay bril-
dies and saddlery, and with the hair
cut In fantastic patterns, says q writer
In the Travel Magazine. A donkey
sheikh owns the animals at any given
place, and the boys hired by the day
in charge Of them get their pay from
the traveller, while the sheikh is paid
for the use of the animal.
This explains in part the constant
plea for backsheesh. which should
never be given until one disnounts
at the end Of the trip, and then at
the last minute. as they are never
quit, satisfied, demand more and may
make It quite unpleasant for the
traveller. 1t is a good plan to have
an understanding in the party and
all pay the same sum, according to
the distance covered.
The boys fully earn their pittance,
going many miles sometimes for two
or three piastres. They are quick TO
recognize the nationality of the tour
list Riding one day with two ladies
at Luxor one of them said:
THAT is very good donkey You
have. had him yesterday"
YES" said the other, "his name is
George Washington"
Why" replied the first, 'that is
strange; yesterday it was Tommy
Atkins
Later the rider said to the donkey
boy:
why did you tell me that the don
keys name was George Washington
and yesterday tell my friend that his
name was Tommy Atkins?"
oh" answered the boy. 'she Eng
fish, and those English no like George
Washington"

STOCKS STRONG
REACH new
LEVELS
Prices Bound Upward, Led by
Steel and Industrial Lists.
Rails Active
BY w. S. COUSINS.
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Under
the, leadership of the steel, motor
and Industrial stocks, the n1ain
body Of speculative stocks swung
into higher price levels in the
short session OF the stock market
today.
Price movements were decidedly
mixed in the railroad and oil stocks,
some stocks going forward to
higher prices, while others declined
under fairly heavy selling pressure.
United States Steel and Stude-
baker continued at the head re-
gpectively of the steel ana motor
stocks, though the independent
steels in the former group and
General Motors, Willys-O Overland
and the allied motor accessory
stocks gave newf.exhibitions OF
strength.
Money Market Strong.
The rise in the resrve ratio of
the New York federal reserve bank
rom 76.5 per cent week ago to
1872 affoded an evidence Of the
strong position Of the money mar
ket and confirmed impressions in
" e~AA 6tAOCI lAAoLI y -dO EdnGG
in call money rates to per cent
reflected nothing more than pre-
paration for month-end financing,
The weekend business reviews Of
the principal mercantile agencies
were perhaps the most favorable
with respect to present performances
and optimism in their outlook, that
have been seen since the end of
the summer.
Expansions of the operations of
Bethlehem, Replogle, Youngstown
and other important steel manufac-
turers was vouched for by the Of
hcials of the various companies.
Bethlehem'S rise to above so, Re.
plogle at %, Universal Pipe at "a,
Studebaker above A, United States
Rubber above 40, Kennecott above
80 and numerous other excursions
into higher price levels placed many
of the most active stocks in new
high ground for the movement, in
some cases representing new highs
for the year.
Rails and Oils Strong.
While the rails and oils were some
what irregular, few stocks in each
group gave special demonstrations of
strength; Pure Oil and the Pan
Americans, with Standard Oil of
California, were the best performers
for the oil stocks, Pure Oil making
a new high at 27%. In the rails,
Pittsburgh and West Virginia gained
only four points and made a new
high at IS. Frisco common, Mis-
souri, Pacific, New York Central and
Atchison made the best records for
the rails.
A number of new specialties like
American Linseed joined the active
group today and were pushed along
to higher prices. Old line Industrial
leaders like American Can, Baldwin
and Cast Iron Pipe were conspicu-
ously inactive and slightly reac-
tionary.
