Stocks Bonds Cereals
STOCKS TOOK DROP
Rock Island Railroad Securities Were
Cause of Much Uneasiness Dur
ing Yesterday's Session.
New York, dune 22. The weakness
of stocks today gave an Impression of
less passiveness than the occasional
drop with Intervals of recovery last
week," The active desire shown to get
out of holdings of one or two stocks
was largely accountable for the chang
ed tone of the dealings. Hock Island
securities were a conspicuous example
in continuance of the sudden decline
which commenced in the closing deal
iuRs Saturday and which had consid
erable influence in unsettling the lone.
The movement gave rise to some
fears of financial embarrassment fac
ing the company or some of its re
lated companies. loiiays rumon-
hinted at a coming bond issue and
even at a receivership but these ru
mors were discredited in official quar
ters. Another supposition was of
heavy losses from flood damage to the
company s property, but this was tie
nied by officials of the company.
The weakness of Rock Island secur
ities was of undoubted sympathetic ef
fect on the whole stock market. There
were nothing In the general news to
prompt the selling of stocks. The ac
cumulation of banking reserves is
reaching a point that sems to necessi
tate active measures to lind employ
ment for these great sums. Traffic
officials of the great railroad systems
spoke with a tone of some encouiage
ment of the business outlook, also hav
ing small actual increase in tonnage to
report. Such increase was inferrable
from statistics of surplus idle freight
cars on June in, the total at that tim.'
having fallen to :!i!i.!t!)l, a decrease
since May 'it, of :;1,!U0 cars. ! lie clos
ing was weak.

Chicago, 111., June 2. WHEAT.
Nervous because of Dullish statistics
on one hand and favorable weather
for harvesting on the other. The fea
ture was the urgent demand for Sep
temher delivery and the. narrowing of,
the spread between that option and
the July delivery. Several leading
commission houses were free sellers
of July and active tniyers of Septem
ber. The selling pntfure on the
nearby month was caused by excellent j
weather for harvesting in the south
west. The principal bullish Influences
were the advance at leniting European
markets. Liverpool excepted, a de
crease of seven million bushels in the
amount of- breadstuff on passage, the
liberal falling off in the world's ship

Kansas. July closed unchanged; No.

The WKistling Girl
BY R. HsBBEU.
An old-fashloued burgh waa Gimp
town, full of old-fashioned people,
not one of whom pretendvd to deny
that Mellie, Rosa waa the prettiest,
lltelieut girl In the place.
Thus It happened that while other
gtj'ls were "spoke fojs" as soon aa
they : became of wise, sweet Mellle
Itosti wanted her sweetness upon
transient lovers.
Joshua Jones, the most apprecia
tive of these, had remarked to hta
mother,
"Naow, mammy, I don't blieva
there's a thing wrong with Mwllle. I
like her mighty well,"
"Oraclous, Josh!" said she, hold
ing up her hands iu. horror. "If
you're a-glttln' struck on that gal,
you had Just better git over it, as
quick us possible. My grief! A whU
tlln' gul in the Jones family! Ugh!"
"I can't tsae why Mell can't tie like
other gals," said her Auut Dorothy,
who didn't believe in old maid.
"Can't you stop this pesky whistling,
Mellie?" she asked her one day.
"Oot a new minister. They 8y
he's a young man --right smart tod.
Guess I'll invite him in. No tellin' ha
might - but no, of course not! Well,
I'll Invite him, anyhow," said Aunt
Dorothy.
A week or two after this, she waa
busying herself making the little
parlor look "spry," when a knock
sounded on the door. She ushered In
a fine looking young man with a de
cided clerical air, but pleasant and
kindly withal.
"I'll call Mellle as aoon as she fin
lubes her chores," Aunt Dorothy was
saying, when horrors! there arose in
that young lady's clear, plcolo-like
whistle, the familiar notes of "Old
Hundred."
Aunt Dorothy turned red and then
while; fidgeted about, and finally,
when the assortment of nolsea
stopped, went Into the kitchen, say
ing as she went,
"Excuse me, Mr. Havlland, and
I'll tell Mellle to come In."
"The new minister's in her.
Come In and be Introduced."
Mellle followed the Irate lady.
"Mr. Havlland, my niece, Miss
Rose."
When Mr. Havlland said, in an
amused tone, "Your brother Is a flna
Whistler."
"I I have no brother," she re
plied honestly; so the evidently pain
ful subject was dropped".
So the fleeting summer days found
the reverend Havlland Often at Aunt
Dorothy's house, or. In Mellie's com
pany, wandering upon the rocky
banks of Little River. 1 '
(Slmptown In general sai1 it waa
almost j scandalous . that 7.0 flue a
young man should be "took in" by a
pretty face, when vejy . one knew
that that face was disfigured by a
whist Hug mouth.
Miss Smith, whose age was an un
known quantity between twenty and
forty, and who had set her cap so
ofu-n 'that that artlole was-badly
frayed around its figurative edges,
said.
"No, he sha'n't be bamboozled,
not if I have to warn him myself!"
And It Is on record that she did warn
the daring man. :''
One bright September day ha
walked over to Aunt Dorothy's littl
cottage, Intending to invite Mellle to
accompany him upon an errand ot
mercy. As he reached the gate ha
stopped a moment. The front door
was wide open. Mellle, dressed In
jdnk calico, with a cap of the sain
material only partly concealing her
fluffy brown hair, was busily engaged
with broom and dust brush In the
hall. There was a happy look upon
her innocent fare. When, as If, bld
llke, she could not restrain her Yy,
the ruby Hps puckered lewltchlngiy,
and the notes of a hymn trilled forth
with startling clearness and truth.
Suddenly the unconscious war
bler was electrified into alienee by
the sharp words. " '
"Perfeckly shock In ain't it?"
Glsmdng up, she saw Aunt Doro
thy gtandlng with waterlng-cao in
hand. She was ataring at Mr. Havl
land. who leaned epon the gate with
a putzllng expression upon his lace.'
Not waiting to hear tola answer
Mollie nod to her own room, whera
she indulged In that which seldom
spoiled - her happy taoM-a good
cry." For she douqtea not mat sn
had forfeited her place In tha min
ister' esteem. . 1
But Mellle was surprised when her
auut handed her a note from Mr.
Havlland containing his request to
accompany him to the house of soma
poor people, who lived several runna
away.
"Shall I go?" she asked her aunt
"Of course! No use maktu' mat
ters worse than they be by refusln'."
So Mellle said she would accom
pany the minister, though her sen-
gltlve nature rebelled , against tha
trial. ' '-'-j .
"What Is 'the matter with you
day?" asked the minister, as may
trundled through the green fields.
Mellle trembled at his kindly tones:
but she could not be drawn nto coo-
versation until
But there, no matter! What right
have we to Intrude! Bufflce it to say
that the next day Mr. Havlland
asked Aunt Dorothy for Mellle'a
hand.
That worthy dame, though
"tickled to death" eould not help
saying,
"Eat, Mr. Havlland, she I a whig-
tlfn' gal; an' you know
A Carueback.
Her 1 wouldn't marry you if yo
whth the only man In tha world.
HI 111 If I had any such cinch aa
that you'd never get the chance.
