NEV YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Oct. 13. tUP)-.
Fairly heavy profit taking develop
ed on the stock market today to
slash into early ] to 3 point gains
that had carried the list to further
new recovery highs.
This resulted in an irregular close.
Trading volume slackened slightly
from the heavy pace maintained last
week despite the active opening
hour in which blocks up to $4,000
shares appeared on the tape and
tickers got behind actual floor
transactions.
Rails as a group led the market
In the early advance and rail bonds
joined in the rise. Carloadings for
the week of October 10 generally
showed good gains over the 1888
week, earnings of Class A roads
the 1885 week and railroad equip
ment buying increased.
AS result Of these favorable
signs for the railroads, several car
riers went into new highs for the
year or longer. New York Central
Southern Railway. Chesapeake
Ohio and Louisville & Nashville
were among the roads to make new
peaks on gains ranging to more
than 2 points.
Another strong group was in the
Woolworth led by opening on
10000 share block and rushing to
63A for more than 3 points ad-
vance. Sears Roebuck jumped more
than to a new high of 95 as the
company reported four weeks sales
ended October 336 per cent better
than the corresponding 1885 week.
Montgomery Ward also reached
new high as did Spiegel-May- stern.
Retail trade figures We're excellent
and stores over Columbus day were
crowded.
Excellent steel operations : the
rate now at a high since 193O-re-
suited in U. S. Steel making mex
high in early trading and other
steeIs were firm. Later they eased
to fractional losses. The same hap
pened in the case of General Motors
which pushed through to high
of 1874 and TIM eased fractionally.
DoW-Jones preliminary closing aV-
erages showed: industrial 1888 up
0.24, railroad 59.s5 up 0.3o, utility
34.31 off 0.49.

Long after the rest of the house
was still, Bob sat up in bed in
his little room off the kitchen,

magazine. The night outside was

Then, suddenly he sat up and lis

rection of he roar, he saw small
bright lights like new stars NOV

Slowly he turned back to the

HIS is the story of a dog who
was a witness for himself in
a court of law.
There is a boy in Los Angeles
who owns dog, and, like most
boys, he loves that dog dearly.
But man who lives in their
neighborhood did not like the dog
and he went to court and tried to
have the dog destroyed.
The boy pleaded that his dog
was NOT vicious. The man shouted
that it WAS. The judge thought
a while and then he said, Bring
the dog into the courtroom. He is
on trial here-he'd better be pres
ent."
The dog was brought to the
courtroom. He came in slowly
and quietly. He walked up to the
judges bench wagging his tail.
He was friendly and seemed
wanting to be liked.
The judge looked him over and
said: There is nothing bad about
this dog. Case dismissed"

UNDER THE HOUSE

~ NCE there was a little boy
~ named Rolla. He crawled
under the house one day and did
not come out for a long time. All
the other children wanted to crawl
under with him but he would not
let them. They wondered what he
was doing under there.
The next day Rolla took lots of
little spools and nails and laths
with him and the curious children
heard him hammering all after
noon. Still he kept his secret.
This strange game went on for
days and days. Then Rolla said
the rest of the children could
come and look. What do you think
they saw? Well, I'll tell you. 1t
was a wonderful net work of little
railroad tracks with cars on spool
wheels and stations and switches
and box-cars. The tracks ran all
around and up and down under
the house.
After that when the neighbors
wanted to find their children, they
looked under Rolla's house. There
they were, being railroaders.

Skeet, q Bird

~ NCE upon a time there we're
~ four little birds living in a
nice warm nest. They were too
young to fly but one of them
(Skeet by name) wanted to try.
He kept getting up on the edge
of the nest and tottering back and
forth. His mother used to say,
"Skeet if you don't stop that
you'll take a tumble"
But the next day when the
mother went away to find some
nice juicy worms for the baby
birds lunch, Skeet got up on the
edge of the nest and fell off!
He tumbled right into the farm
yard. There was a big yellow cat
there and he saw the bird hit the
ground. He rushed over to pounce
upon him, BUT just at that
moment a little boy was walking
by. He saw the cat and he saw
the bird and he knew just what
to do. He did it.
Skeet was saved and the boy
climbed up the tree and put him
in his nest. 1t was a close call.
No, Skeet never did try THAT
stunt again. He waited till his
mother taught him to fly.

Molly had to think quickly. She
did.
There was a huge cannon
nearby and beside it fuse. She
found that the cannon was loaded
for firing, so she lighted the fuse
with a bit of smoldering rag and
fired it,
Naturally the British halted.
They thought surely Washing
tons men must still be some
where nearby. Then, while they
hesitatod, Molly picked up the
unconscious soldier and carried
him two miles to her fathers
home. There she nursed him back
to health.
THE soldier was grateful to
Molly and sent her bolt of
lovely dress-g goods. But Molly had
had very little finery in her life
and she put the cloth carefully
away -. to save.
While the British were delayed
trying to find Washington's army
that brave band of men, was
marching, marching through sleet
and snow to Morristown.
Months went by, then Molly
heard that Washington's men
were again on the march to New
York. She wanted to see her hus.
band to tell him about their fine
new son. So away the brave girl
went to the battle of Monmouth.
This was in June, 1878. When
Molly arrived, it was a scorching
hot day. What with the battle
and the unbearable glare of the
sun, the men were becoming
exhausted. But Molly carried
water to them from spring near
the battlefield. Not only to the
parched mouths of the soldiers,
but water for the cannon as well.
The grateful men would cry
out at sight of her, Here comes
Molly with her pitcher" After
while they shortened it to MOLLY
Pitcher!"
The battle grew worse. SO did
the heat of the sun and the men
fell exhausted. Molly carried
water to them as fast as she
could, but at last she saw her
young husband fall fainting by
the cannon he was firing. That
was most important cannon,
