THE BISTItESS AND MAID. A Very Quaint IU'prMtnUUnu of* V?*nllollf Oil! I'lthr. Doris in Frank Leslie's Weekly: "And what is your new girl's name?" my neighbor asked, as we lingered over the 6 o'clock tea eui??. "Her name is Gertrude." "Do you think she will live up to It?" "?She may. 1 never knew a Gertrude who did outside of a novel. And I asked her her mime arid begun to call her by it at om-e, as if I had a perfect right to d<v " "My dear, hadn't you?" "So rt-al right, of course; only the ri?:hi of Impertinent custom. Think how I would have blared if she would have asked in?? my name and then proceeded to call n\e Doris." My neighbor herself stared for a moment or tivo. Hut they are not parallel cases." "Exactly parallel. Gertrude Anderson gives me her services for what we call a sufficient recornpnnse, though she know*, and I know, that the hrneflt Is I larrly on niy side, but this places our relationship on a purely business rounThejre Is nothing In me that entitle* nn1 to any service from uny hu11)210 b< hig except that for which I can gjvetn equivalent. 80 KhUe 1 pay <i<Twe stand on equul grounds, nru! If I were n-iCv a ludy I would call her Miss Anderson." Aii. that theory is very nice, but It would never work. Servunts, as a class, are too presuming." 'It Is the class feeling that makes them so?our attitude of placing ourselves above thorn. Nature has nof, placed us there. We are all God's women, and while I might be able to t?ach my housemaid to play a sonata, she tnlKht In return give me lessons In ^ome far higher grace. I know the woman grandest In Christian virtues who ever came Into my life was a little Irish washerwoman, with a face like o saint and n soul to match It. When pile told me the history of her early days I felt that I could sit at her feet and learn to he noble. And she did not know (lie greatness of the life she unfolded before me. She spoke deprecntlngly? 'nshamed to trouble 1110 with her troubles.' She did not realize that she had taujfht me a lesson In courage, In lov Ing kindness?yes, In sublimity of soul ?that has helped mo to be a bettor woman ever since." "Well, you will certainly admit that 6ho was tho exception to the rule?" "Just as a specially high-minded j woman Is the exception to the rule In 1 what we c.-\li 'our class,' Not long 000 I i met, at a woman's club of esthetic tendencies, half a dozen women whom T knew well, and who employed each from one to four servants. One of these mistresses,' before her fortunate marrloge, had made sheets on a sewing machine for a dollar and a half a dozen. Another had walked thvough snow and rain, Ill-fed and Ill-clad, to sin#; In the chorus of an opera. Another had worked In a restaurant where only men retorted?men who smoked In her presence and talked slang and perhaps Innguage less permissible occasionally. Another had spent the best years of her life behind a counter selling goods to the multltudt?. Not one of these women had had the advantages of education. Two of them eould not write nor word an ordinary letter with perfect Inverness; yet these were the women who talked of servants as 'a class." creatures by nature 'inferior'? not to be considered us beings on the eame plane with us." You Have llrrn Tiler* Before. ? Chicago Record: A pretty girl of 18 always has some boy admirer. Usually he Is a very young hoy. It Is a matter of history that very young toys always fall in love with girls who are old I'nough to marry. One girl on the south side has a df>voted beau who Is 7 ?ears of age. He pf-nds candy and writes sprawling love letters tn her, and she addresses him by nil the sweet baby names In her repertoire. Tho young man who has aspired to be her real beau Is 23 years of age, very dignified for his years and Inclined to email Jealousies. This young man and the pretty girl wore seated In the parlor one eVenlnn when the telephone hell rang. A maid came to the door and told tho pretty girl that she was wanted at the phone. Shn hurried away. The young man aunter"d after her. and overheard the ?>nversntlon, or rather, her half of it. "Hello." "Yes. Is that you, dear?" a "Isn't that lovely of you?" "Tew; certainly I received your letter. It's the sweetest letter I ever received/ v.?uuruver io-morTow, men, and we'll I pf> to the motineo together." I "Why, you darling boy!"

Many of the professlonaUtradura have concluded that liquidation has about run its course, and there has been a cessation of the bear campaign. Opinions have differed among the professionals as to whether conditions In the stock market are ready for u sustained advance Jn prices again. The bears made an abortive effort early In the day to raid the market and directed an attack against Sugar and Chicago CJas. The faUure of the raid encouraged the bulls to aggressive action, and there were Indications of the reappearance In the market of Home of the large buying Interests which were t)romlnen( In the late rise of the market. This professional buying carried prices up quite strongly, net ndvances throughout the list ranging from one to three points. But the bulla were apparently satisfied with a short turn nnd they commenced to sell to realize profits about half an hour before the close. This carried prices down In some cases below last night's close, and where net pains remained they were In almost all cases fractional. The success of the bears was frustrated In part owing to the special strength In Sugar and Chicago Gas upon which they relied to work a sympathetic decline in the balance of the list. Sugar was strong on the decision of tho treasury department to hold Dutch refined sugars conditionally liable to the countervailing duty, which applies to Imported sugars upon which an export bounty Is paid. Chicago Gas derived strength from rumors of a compromise with the threatened competition. The market showed considerable Increase of activity ns compared with the last few days, but was still almost purely professional. London changed from its recent attitude and sold stocks here. Additional reports of railroad earnings for the second week In October all show handsome Increases and many vague tumors were atlont of still mor? striking Improvements to be shown In statements not fr*et Issued. Tho large movement of cotton along Hues recently released from quarantine restriction was shown by reports and gave strength to the railroads affected. The exchange continued firm and (lie local money market easy, the small withdrawal of American eagles from the Rinlc of Kngland Tor shipment to New York, n">t being considered of Importance. Some business is being done In the placing of loans on long sterling which l.s in effect the lending of money abroad. This naturally tends to keep up the rate of exchange. The continued ease of the local money market and the large resources In hand by Interior banks owing to the large payment of debts following the crop movement are the Inducements for thus deferring the movement of gold this way. The marked net changes were gains of six points ]>y Hocking Valley preferred; 2*; by Manhattan; 2 by Metropolitan Traction and Now Jersey Central; 4 by Rubber preferred; 3 by Minneapolis & St. Louis second preferred, and 2%' by Pullman. Bonds wore strong In sympathy with stocks. One 250,000 block of Union Pacific collateral trust notes was sold at 60. and another block of 1 HO,000 at the same price. Total sales $2,325,000. U. S. 4*s advnneed *4 bid, and the G's coupon declined Vn per Cent bid. The total sales of stocks to-day were 402,200 shares. Evening Post's London financial cablegram : The stock markets wore Idle to-day, but the tone was steady. Americans were especially good and closed quiet at the boat, though the support here Is only professional. The dullest market was Brazils,which were fiat on reports that the negotiations for the sale of certain Brazilian state railways to a foreign syndicate have been suspended. I am Informed in credible quarters that the sale of American eagles yesterday and to-day by the Rink of England Is really for Germany, the reason given being that owing to the lightness of many of the sovereigns withdrawn, it pays bettor to take eagles at the present price, Tho amount ?-r eagles withdrawn to-day was 62,000, and tho total amount of bullion taken was 72,000 pounds. A cable from the Financial News New York correspondent attracts much attention here. It affirms that New York banks have loaned to Loudon a large amount of money on long sterling bill*. Evidences of this are very scanty here at present nnd wonder Is excited as to how such an operation can pay with discount rates her* at 2'zir per cent. Still tho report Is not entirely discredited.

Wheat was helped by | renewal of the continental demand for ; ; American wheat, December closing "?c 1 I higher. There was a slight disposition , to play tor a reaction in corn and a odvance was the result. Oats closed , Vitobic higher. Provisions closed ai . small advances for porl; and ribs, witn lard substantially unchanged. j Wheat was steady at about yesterday's closing price at and for u few minutes after the opening and then it was subjected to some bearish influences that caused it to decline 1 per cent per bushel during the next hour. May was not as weak as December during the time referred to, owing, It was supposed, to the action of the bull clique, who, as on the day before, BCld December at or above 91c, and bought th? Mav whrm It ivaa weak. The com para live firmness during the first few minutes wus because of a further reduction lu northwestern receipts and .steadiness of the Liverpool and Paris markets, both of which quoted prices unchanged from the previous day's closing.. The bearish news came partly from the northwest, and purtly from abroad. Heavy rains were reported in Argentina. The Liverpool corn trade news revised its previous estimates of European requirements, making the amount only 72,000,000 bushels Instead of 128,000,000 bushels as previously calculated. That had some depressing effect, but more serious news was the reported sale at Duluth of 200,000 bushels of No. 1 northern wheat to Chicago for deliver on December contracts, which was made possible by the higher prices ruling here. Thi* rather staggered the trade, December at substantially yesterday's closing prices, yOTitfj) 91c, and before the effect of the Duluth transaction had worn off a decline to j 90>/(,c hud tuken place. Chicago receipts i were 204 cars, or thirty-four over the estimates. Minneapolis und Duluth reported 887 curs, against U20 last week, und 965 the correspondlnn day of the year previous. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were smaller than Monday and Tuesday, the total being under 350,000 bushels. Kradstreets report on the world's visible supply showed an increase of 4,271.000 bushels. About 12 o'clock the market began to show signs of firmness. .Sales were reported of two cargoes of No. 2 red winter at Toledo and one cargo at Detroit for Immediate oxport to the continent. This Indication of a revival of the foreign demand encouraged local buyers and the price began siovvlf to mend. December advanced to 9tVs<JT9l%c, and was bringing OlVa^lOpC at the close. Corn was steady even when wheat was weak in the forenoon und was very firm later when wheat advanced. There wus considerable buying on the theory that a reaction wis about due, following the recent heavy decline. Shorts were also numerous. Tne roreign demand which for two weeks has been apathetic, revived In force to-day. The opening was a shade oasle- on the liberal receipts. 059 cars, ind the low?r cables, but the decline was soon made up. The visible Increase was 2.430 UOO bushels. Charters were for 57.1,000 bushels. December ranged from 26c to 25H-C. closing %c higher at 26c. Oats were higher and firm at the advance. Trading was not important, the firmness being due principally to llffht offerings. New York did considerable bidding all day, Elevator interests were fair sellers early, as usual, sympathy with corn was an important factor. Receipts were 242 cars. December ranged from 18%c to 18Hc, and closed HWc higher at 18^,(^18%^ Provisions were steady on a small amount of business. The continued bad reports from the yellow fever district caused a small opening decline. Shorts were good buyers find the cash demand was considerably Improved, which fact caused a recovery of the opening decline and a small advance besides. The firmness of wheat and corn helped townrd the end. At the close December pork was 5c higher at $7 80; December lard unchanged at J1 30tfT4 32Mf. find uecemocr riu? jyjv higher at *4 50.
