Letter from Leslie Prescott to Mrs
 Walter Burke.

NaItPr i1UTkc.
 Congratulations, my dear. Very sensible Of you to be married quietly. Just as soon as dad can be moved we are going to New London where mother has taken a house for the summer. I have teegraphed Jack to send little Jack over to me, and expect to spend the remainder of the summer at the seashore.
 We have had terrible upheaVal here. am going to tell you about 1t because you have known all the beginning Of fl, and you might as well be in the finish. although the things is not finished yet,
 The other day, after mother came from the hospital, she walked in upon me when I was crying. She insisted upon knowing what was the matter She said she realized l had not been myself since l had come over 10 be with father. II was then she made me telegraph to Jack for the baby. So insistent she was that I did it by telephone, and when I came back from the phone I was crying harder than ever.
 What Is the matter, Lesie7" she che asked, Don't you want little Jack Co come to you?"

Tt was good thing, Mir. Mungle l that you had a very magical charm when the Zumzee came with the bar. rel around his waist and the iron poi upon his head!" Raggedy Ann said.
 Indeed, 1t was!" the new Captain Thingum agreed. For l could not | thump the Zumzee with my silver sword when he was. dressed that way! It would have dulled my pretty sword."
 My" the magical hobby horse laughed. Didn't the zumzee hop around and howl when Mir. Mungle wished the barrel and the iron pot to be filled with fire crackers?"
 And it was funny to see the zum- zee hustling to get out of the barrel and to get the iron pot from his head!" Raggedy Andy said.
 T wonder where the Iumzee is now?" Mrs. Mingle said as she passed the ice cream to everyone.
 Mrs. Mingle had very magical cupboard from which she could take any kind of goodies she wished. So all she had to do was to turn the knob of the cupboard door and wish for as much ice cream and cake, or anything else she might think of and reach inside and get it, A magical cupboard like that is worth having, I can tell you. That was one reason why the Zumzee wanted 10 chase Mrs. Mingle and her friends from the cunning little cottage. He was very selfish and he wanted to live in the cottage and have all the nice things for himself.
 T 'spect the Zumzee is sitting in the brook cooling off, Captain Thingum said Tor when he ran away, the Zumzee's clothes were smoking from the fire crsckers!" The zumzee, however, vas not sitting in the brook cooling off ss the Thingum said. Instead. the zumzee was plan ming how he could outvit the Rag Eedys and their friend and capture Mrs. Mingle's cunning little magical cottage all for his very own
 Less sec" the Zumzee unused as he scratched his head. If I put an- other barrel around my waist and an iron pot on my head, they will make magical fire crackers come inside the barrel and they burn. must think of anothed way. The Thingum has a ner silver sword and with that he may try to cut off my ears!"
 But you haven't any ears, foolish zumzee," 8 Snickle laughed as he walked out in front of the zumzee and looked him over.
 That is quite true. snickle'" the Zumzee said after he had felt all around his head. "The Thingum cant cut off my ears, that's V Vhat!"
 T will give you fine sword. Zum- zee!" the Snickle said. Then you can cut off the Thingum's earsl" So the Snickle gave the Zumzee very large sword and the Zumzee ran to Mrs. Minsls's cottage crying, Here ] come to cut e ,he Thingum's ears! Here

BUTTERMILK BENEFICIAL

With the coming of hot days, Mir. Mann of Anytown was wont to visit soda fountains and ask for butter milk.
 Few people know how important a part the use of sour milk. in any of its forms-whether buttermilk or one of the many especially prepared concoctions--plays in fighting intes- tinal poisonings.
 Lactic acid, which is the acid con- tained in sour milk, Is a medium in which putrefactive germs cannot thrive. So, if one can keep some

 There were two places in the room in which man might hide, under the bed and in the big wardrobe, which took the place of a closet. The officer laborousy got down on his knees and flashed his light un- der the bed and then inspected the wardrobe, as 1 reflected that, while his bravery might be all right, his strategy was not If man had been hidden in the wardrobe the officers kneeling posture would have handi- capped him severely against a dash by a desperate criminal.

WALL STREET STOCK EXCHANGE REPORTS.

New York, April 3.-Stock prices improved at the opening of today's
 market. Added to continued short cov-
 ering, fresh buying. well distributed throughout the industrial list stimu- lated fractional advances Independent
 steel shares responded to favorable
 reports of conditions in that industry. Prospects for searly action on the Dawes report, combined with more favorable outlook at Washington, aid- cd the forward movement ill the early
 dealings. Gains of 1 to points were recorded by DuPont. Schulte, Union Pacific, New York Central, Texas &
 Pacific. Pittsburgh & West Virginia and Atlantic Coast line. A growing de-
 mand for railroad issues was reflected in buying of the dividend-paying stocks. Profit taking developed later
 in a number of representative indus-
 trials, forcing General Electric and
 Studebaker' down point. American Zinc preferred and Wheeling X Lake
 Erie preferred also suffered sharp losses. Foreign exchanges opened low CT.
 Wall Street Noon--Brisk buying of railroad stocks, which advanced 10 more than points, sustained the gen. eral list despite intermittent bear sell ling of motor issues and renewed liquidation of low-priced industrials. The demand broadened considerably, embracing oil. shipping, tobacco, mer- chandise and chemical issues. United Fruit jumped points, Sears Roe- buck s, Woolworth and Laekawanna F each. Southern Pacific rose more than a point to a new top price for the year at 90 5-S and Missouri Paci- fic preferred reached new high lever at 39 S-S. Renewed selling pressure against the motors brought point loss in Nash and Willys- Overland preferred. General Electric yielded points and United Cigars broke 10 points 10 a new minimum figure at 1sn. Call money opened at If per cent.
 The closing was irregular. Mixed movements took place in the late dealings, bidding up of the shippings being counteracted by heavy selling of some of the foreign oils and coalers. Stock prices moved upward in the carly part Of today's market with spe- cial strength developing in the rails but fluctuations became confused la ter when selling broke out in some Of the pivotal industrial issues. Sales ap- proAimated S0o,000 shares.
