V A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS (Palladium Special) NEW YORK, Aug. 12 In spite of sound intrinsic conditions the stock market shows less responsiveness to the favorable existing conditions than is warranted. The most plausible ex planation is lack of sufficient cour ageous leadership. Many operators are absent on summer vacations, and not withstanding improved political con ditions a considerable portion of our industrial leaders remain fearful of coming legislation affecting the tariff and trusts. In this connection, how ever, it is highly assuring that candi dates of the two leading parties, one of which is sure to be elected, are both moderate in their ideas. Republican and Democratic alike are agreed that tariff revision downward is impera tive, but both parties are committed to a moderate treatment of the sub ject in order to avoid disturbing conse quences to business. Moderate action is also promised by both candidates in the treatment of large corporations. Neither party favors trust smashing. There is every reason, therefore, to an ticipate the handling of these two great problems in a manner that will be least disturbing. If these promises are faithfully fulfilled, it should mean a decline of extreme radicalism, which proved such a serious drag upon busi ness enterprise for the past year or two. In the West the disposition to cut loose from politics is much more pro nounced than here. This is because that section of the country is more largely dependent upon crops than the East which relies chiefly upon the ini tiative of capital. As soon as business men understand upon what lines to operate we may expect a fresh revival of enterprise. Among the timid there will be more or lees hesitation until after the election, or even until the new congress assembles in December, 1913. Crops are now of vastly more im portance than politics. Each week strengthens the outlook for a large and profitable harvest. Wheat is turn ing out much better than expected, the estimates of yield varying from 700,000,000 to 750,000,000 bushels. If the latter results are obtained the crop will exceed the previous high record" of 735,000,000 bushels in 1906. For corn the outlook is at least 2,500,000, 000 bushels and some estimates pre dict that the crop of 1910, which amounted to 2,886,000,000, will be sur passed. Corn, however, is somewhat late and still in danger of early frost, so that overconfidence in this respect is somewhat premature. As for cot ton, the latest advices suggest a yield of about 14,000,000 bales. This will compare with 16,000,000 bales last year and 13,697,000 bales in 1904, the second largest crop. In addition we have big crops of oats, hay, apples and fruits generally. As already stat ed, the agricultural products of the country this year will probably reach $9,000,000,000, or fully $500,000,000 more than a year ago. No better foun dation for continued prosperity could be desired. General business shows a tendency THE NAME STUCK. And Yet the Man Who Owned It Didn't Feel Flattered. They had been speaking of name sakes, and one of the group had men tioned with pride that not only were four nephews and two grandsons his namesakes, but that a business block lately built in his native town had taken its name from him. "And I like it," he said heartily. "I consider it an honor. "You know how I feel," he added, turning to one of his friends. "I hadn't been In your little town more than an hour before I saw your name at the turn of a road, 'Howard's Corner.' You must admit it's gratifying." "May be to you," said the other man dryly, "but, as it happens, the reason that's called 'Howard's Corner' Is be cause, when I was about twenty and knew more than I ever have since, I took the girl that I was courting out In a new top buggy with a livery stable horse and tried to show off how sharp a turn I could make. "I tipped her out just as a party of summer boarders came along. The buggy was smashed up some, and the girl rode off with the boarders, mad as a hornet. There was a young man among them whom she afterward mar ried. "I don't begrudge her to him, for I got a finer girl later on, but when the name the boarders gave that place in the road stuck and by and by was put up on the signboard while I was out west I can't say that it ever struck me as any special cause for pride."

For many years a man named Dot ton was a popular conductor between Duluth and Two Harbors. A woman from Duluth purchased a ticket, a re turn ticket to Two Harbors, and then concluded to return by boat. Some months later she wished again to visit Two Harbors and presented the re maining half of her former ticket. Mr. Dutton looked at it for a full minute, then said. "I think this ticket is good for one transportation, madam, but you will have to ride backward.' Chicago Tribunal towards increased activity. This is particularly true in the Northwest. Dry goods jobbers are purchasing more freely in anticipation of agricultural prosperity. In the manufacturing sec tions, particularly those depending upon the steel industry, there are al so signs of increasing business ex pansion. Even in New England, where strikes in the textile industry have caused special disturbances, the out look is improving. July bank clear ances in the United States increased nearly 8 per cent. In New York City the increase for the month was only 7 per cent, financial inactivity having kept the gain smaller than would oth erwise have been the case. At Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans and all other trade centers there were satisfactory gains for the month. In Canada bank clearings in July increased more than 28 per cent over 1911. In the third week of July, 41 roads reported an increase of over 8 per cent in earnings, and railroad man agers are confidently expecting still better results in August and Septem ber. Some of the less favorably situat ed railroads are making very poor net returns the Harriman lines, for in stance but when traffic increases as now seems certain, these losses should be reduced if, indeed, they do not en tirely disappear. There is likely to be a hardening of money rates arising from increased trade and crop require ments. From now on the latter are sure to extend. Fortunately the Eu ropean markets show easier tenden cies, which will of course tend to keep down interest rates, and no injurious stringency is in prospect. Our balances abroad have already been considerably reduced. Among investors there is ,a decided tendency to seek investments providing larger returns. Many indus trials hae been making liberal profits during the past year or two, and their shares are in consequence becoming more and more in favor with the in vesting public. In some cases this means assuming increased risk; but the higher cost of living and the gen erally satisfactory business outlook in duce not a few careful buyers to make such ventures. For bonds the market is not entirely satisfactory, low interest-bearing issues being neglacted in preference for those paying higher rates. The outlook for the general market is still for increased activity as soon as the leaders are prepared to as sume the initiative. From now on politics will be less disturbing; the harvest will soon be beyond doubt; business will have a chance to re sume normal activity; Congress ad journs soon; the international out look is clear; industrial conditions at home are intrinsically sound; increas ed activity in pig iron shows confi dence in that quarter; the financial situation is sound, and the railroads will soon be taxed te their utmost in moving the crops, so that there is every reason to assume a more cheer ful attitude towards the future. QUAIL SHOOTING. Some sf the Difficulties That Confront the Man With the Gun. "On of the difficulties of quail shooting lies in the very fact that would apparently make bis killing a simple proposition, his rising near the gun," says Charles Askin in Outing. "Let me illustrate: If a quail rose within ten feet of the gun and contin ued sailing around the shooter's head at a mile a minute gait the chances are that he couldn't be killed in ten shots, both the bird and the gun changing angle with a rapidity beyond he ability of the mind to calculate. In the same way a close springing bird may change his angle with regard to tbe gun so rapidly as to entail a long and accurate swing before he can be covered. The nature of the quail's flight fre quently makes this long swing un avoidable. The bird may rise to the north, pass to tbe west and be killed to the south. Had it been possible to foresee that the bird would swing about to the south before being killed the gun might have been pointed there, rendering unnecessary a complex gun movement, but meantime tbe quarry would probably have gone in some other direction. The quail work that calls for care and skill is cover shoot ing, und the only safe rule there is to point your gun as near the bird as you can when he breaks and shoot as quickly as you can get on." Daffodil Superstitions. Daffodils are not only poisonous and libelous, but most unlucky flowers, es pecially when single specimens are encountered. Herrick, who must of ten have gone through tbe experience without much barm happening, de clares that When a daffodil I aee Hanging down her bead to me, Guesa I mar what I trust be. First, I shall decline my bead; Secondly. I shall be dead; Lastly, safely burled. In Herrick's own Devon to this day tf you place a single daffodil on tbe ta ble of a farmhouse the farmer will Jump up and exclaim. "Now we shall have no young ducks this year." The evil spell can be broken by increasing the single flower to a bunco. St. James' Gazette. Important. "Yon seem anxious lately. In lore?" "You've guessed it."

"I have decided to become an artist Have you any objection?" v "No, provided yen dont draw oa The Scrap Book Won by More Than a Hair. Curtis Guild, former governor of Mas sachusetts, was once asked for the fun niest story be ever beard. This is the story he told: "An Irishman and a Jew were discussing the great men who bad belonged to each race and, as may be expected, got into a heated ar gument. Finally the Irishman said: 'Ikey, listen. For ivery great Jew ye can name ye may pull out one of me whiskers, an' for ivery great Irishman I can name I'll pull one of yours. Is it a go?' Ikey consented, and Pat reached over, got hold of a whisker, said "Robert Emmet' and .pulled. 'Moses!' said Ikey and pulled one of Pat's tenderest. 'Dan O'Connell.' said Pat and took another. 'Abraham.' said Ikey. helping himself again. 'Patrick nenry, returned Pat with a vicious yank. 'The twelve apostles.' said Ikey. taking a handful of whiskers. Pat emitted a roar of pain, grasped Ikey's beard with both hands and yelled, The Ancient Order of Hibernians:' " Two Ways. Wouldst thou be wretched? "Tls an easy way. Think but of self, and self alone, all day Think of thy pain, thy grief, thy loss, thy care. All thou hast to do or feel or bear. Think of thy good, thy pleasure or thy gain. Think only of thyself. 'Twill not be vain. Wouldst thou be happy? Take an easy way. Think of those round thee live for them all day. Think of their pain, their loss, their grief. their care. All that they have to do or feel or bear. Think of their pleasure, of their good. their gain. . Think of those round thee. It will not be vain. Can't Beat the Lawyers. On the occasion of a football match in England between a number of mili tary officers and a team of lawyers the former had prepared a splendid lunch for the visitors before the game. Both teams did thorough justice to the lunch, and. tbe legal gentlemen going in strong for champagne and cigars, the officers anticipated an easy vic tory. On looking toward the foptball ground, however, after lunch the offi cers espied a remarkably fresh looking lot of giants kicking the ball about and In amazement asked the guests who the strangers were. "Oh," replied one of them, finishing his last glass of champagne, "those are our playing team. We are only the lunching team, you know." Wanted a Consultation. So supreme was tbe leadership of Senator Aldrich over a host of political followers and personal friends that many a vote was cast this way or that or the other for the sole reason that "Nels says so." Some one was recall ing this fact in the senate lobby when another of the little group remarked: "That's the exact truth. I speak from personal feeling. I trusted Al drich's judgment implicity, and I don't know that It ever led me wrong." Then, as he contemplatively flicked the ashes off his cigar, he went on: "Did I ever tell you about a funny dream 1 had? I thought I was dead, and St. Peter was putting the usual questions at me before adding my name to his heavenly census. At last he figured out I was O. K. and told me to go ahead in, but I hesitated. 'Why, what's wrong?' says he. 'Most folks are In a hurry when I give 'em the word.' Well,' says I, 'I dare say it's all right, but I do wish I could have a couple of words with Aldrich before taking so important a step. " Los Angeles Times. A Brilliant Retort. After dinner speaking is an art, and, like many other arts, its excellence has much to do with the mood of the artist. Some of the best of our after dinner speakers sometimes fail, but it is not often that failure results in tbe enrichment of the world's store of epi gram, as it did in tbe case of Lord Erskiue many years ago. When Lord Ersklne was made a member of that highly honorable body, the Fishmongers' Company of London, he made an after dinner speech on tbe occasion of his first appearance among them as a member. Upon his return be said to a friend: "I spoke 111 today and stammered and hesitated in the opening." "You certainly floundered," was the reply, "but J. thought you did bo in compliment to tbe fishmongers." Just Like the Navy. At Fort Monroe some time ago, where one of tbe vessels of the navy was temporarily awaiting orders, a delegation of army officers stationed at the fort came aboard. There is a set naval regulation that nothing can be so on board ship until the com manding officer orders it. While the army party were looking over the ship 12 o'clock arrived. A junior officer ap proached the captain and said, with a salute. "It is 12 o'clock, sir." "Make it so," responded the captain, and eight bells were struck. Tbe army officers suspected that the navy men wanted them to ask some questions and get sold or that this was a bit of foolery got up to joke the land warriors. Some time after a party of the army officers invited the officers of the warship to dine with them. The dinner was pro gressing when a lieutenant entered and. saluting the senior officer present, said gravely. "Colonel, the major's blind horse is dead. "Make it so. re sponded the colonel, with the greatest gravity, and the dinner proceeded. Nothing was said at the time, but the navy officers tell the story. Land of Surprises. New Zealand is not exactly contigu ous to or a part of Australia, as many seem to imagine, there being a slight difference of some 1,700 miles between them. Things go by contraries in the Hand of the kangaroo. The farther north you travel the hotter it is 125 degrees in the shade in Queensland. Lignum vitae, which sinks In other waters, floats In Australian waters. The Christmas dinner is eaten in Mel bourne and Sydney whea it is over 100 degrees in the abade. BIG BOXING CARD AT THEJOLISEUM Principal Feature Is the Dil-lon-Donavan Go. Big Crowd Expected. What promises to be the best bout ever staged in Richmond will be held tonight at the Coliseum. Indications are that the largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing contest in this city will be on hand to greet the big card. Dillon and Donavan, the head liners, are both in the city and from the way they talk, are both confident of winning and are anxious for the tap of the gong. Although matched several times, this will be the first meeting of these husky middleweights and they will no doubt go after each other hammer and tongs. Jimmie Watts, the cleverest bantam weight developed in this state will have his hands full when he meets Johnny Dorsey In the semiwindup. These boys recently fought a ten round draw at Indianapolis. Watts is anxious to win as he is matched to fight Dick Coy at Indianapolis in the main event next Thursday night. The preliminary card could not be improved on as it will bring together the best of the local talent. The show will start promptly at 8:15 in order to give the out-of-town patrons time to catch their cars for home. What they say: Dillon: "I am the logical middle weight champion, and will defeat Don avan tonight to strengthen my claim to the title." Donavan: "Dillon will find in me a boy that can stand and slug with him. I am much the stronger and expect to get the decision." BEGGARS OF LONDON. Many of Them Partial to the Hired Sickly Infant Scheme. There is no city in Europe, according to an American citizen who has return ed from a business trip to England, where there may be seen bo many beg gars in the streets as in the British metropolis, says the Washington Her ald. "These beggars "halt, blind, maim ed' come for the most part from tbe 'beggars' colony,' the most lawless dis trict in all London. It is hidden in the haze of mean streets in the bor ough of Kensington and is called Not tlngdale. "These 'tale pitchers,' as they call themselves, are men and women who hire starved looking children by the day to enlist tbe sympathy of the be nevolent. There are 'old soldiers' and 'sailors,' with bogus beards and rec ords complete; there are 'shabby gen teel' men in tattered frock coats and carefully brushed broken boots, who talk of 'college days? there are the musical beggars, who live by singing; there are tbe begging letter writers, and, finally, there are tbe beggars who solicit under the pretext of offer ing matches, collar buttons or shoe strings for sale. "A tale pitcher who knows tbe ropes can hire a sickly infant at the rate of about 12 cents a day. An unusually wretched looking infant will be dearer, but a whole family of neg lected mites can be borrowed for GO cents and no questions asked.' Many of these professional beggars make as much aa $4 a day." WALTON'S FAST. The "Plunger" Did Evan Mare Than the Doctor Suggested. Race track lovers of some years ago all knew "Plunger" Walton Francis Theodore Walton, as he was christen ed. Everything that Walton did he did as thoroughly as be plunged on tbe races. This habit was illustrated by his famous fast. Rheumatism caused him considerable suffering for years. Across the street from him lived a doctor, who said one day: "Walton, you eat too much. That's what's tbe matter with you. Do as I say and you will cure your rheuma tism. Don't let food tempt you so much. Just taper off yonr meals, and don't eat except when you really feel like It" Borne time passed before the two men met again. The physician In quired what results followed from heeding bis directions. He listened thunderstruck to the following report: "That advice of yours sounded easy, and 1 didn't eat a morsel for twenty one days. No. sir; not a single particle of food passed my lips. Every bour that I was awake I did drink a glass of water. I suffered no great pangs of hunger. I was comfortable and bad a good time. It was my wife's anxiety that made me break my fast. She got tbe notion that I was losing weight too fast. You see, 1 once weighed 285 pounds. When 1 began the fast I weighed 246. At the end of twenty one days I weighed an even 200.

RICHMOND COLISEUM MONDAY NIGHT, AUG. 12 Jack Dillon vs. Bill Donavan TEN ROUNDS Jimmie Watts vs. Johnnie Dorsey EIGHT ROUNDS GOOD PRELIMINARIES BETWEEN LOCAL BOYO For the Children Little Lady Jan But ler, Youthful Tennis Expert. Photo by American Press Association. The young tennis player here pic tured with racket lowered is Lady Jane Butler of England. That is rath, er a high sounding name for such a plain looking, everyday tennis glrL She looks very much as do our own young tennis players, and if it were not for her title we might think her Just Mary Smith or Sally Jones of any state in the Union. Titles are well enough, we suppose, in the old coun tries, but here in our own land we take people, young and old. for Just what they are regardless of any claims they may have because of birth or so cial position. Strength of the Beetle. If asked to name the strongest ani mals most persons begin witn the largest the elephant and continue with oxen, horses, etc This is, of course, correct in so far as their total horse power is concerned, says the London Globe. But for real strength, proportioned te the size and weight of tbe animal, one must go to the insect world. Compared with Insects, the strength of almost any large animal, and especially of man, is absurd. A man is considered strong if be can drag a mass weighing three or four times as much as himself, but tbe beetle will walk with 500 times his own weight If a man were placed un der a wooden box with five times his own weight on top to hold it down he would remain there indefinitely. An Odd Chair. A Mr. Curtis, who lived in the reign of Queen Victoria, invented an acous tic chair, a high backed library one, which would enable the person sitting in it to hear, no matter how deaf he might be. Tbe chair had two barrels to fit each ear, but there was no need of a mouthpiece for the talker. Per forated plates collected the sounds of the room into a vase, and from this they were carried into the ears of any one seated in tbe "comfy" chair. Tubes could be attached to tbe barrels, con necting other rooms. Thus a deaf per son could do even more than a well hearing one, for he could hear sounds from the rest of tbe house. Pull A Game. A Jolly romping game for young boys and girls is played In this way: Roll back tbe rug from the center of tbe floor and on the boards make a small squaro outlined with chalk. All then join bands In a circle around it The music starts up and the children begin to dance around the square. Aa they dance they try to draw some mem ber of tbe circle into the square. Any one stepping inside tbe chalk bounda ries is out of the game, which contin ues until but one player is Jeft A new lightning rod is made of thirty small copper wires, woven into a loose braid, to provide a maximum of sur face with a minimum cross section, the theory being that a lightning dis charge follows the surface of a con ductor.
