Tho Dovll Bat by tho river Bldo,
By tho Stream of Tlmo, whoro you'll always And him,
Casting his lln In tho ruBhlng tldo,
And landing tho fish on tho bank behind him.
Ho sat at case In, a cozy nook,
And was filling his bnskot vory fast
Whilo you might havo scon that his deadly hook
Was differently halted at every cast.
Ho caught 'em fast as a man could count;
Llttlo or big, it was all tho same.
Ono bait was a check for n round amount
.n assemblyman nabbed It and out ho enmo.
Ho took a gem that as Suturn shone;
It sank in tho water without a Bound,
And caught a woman who long was known
As tho best and purest for miles around.
Sometimes bo would laugh, and sometimes sing;
For bettor luck no ono could wish,, "
And ho seemed to know to a dead suro thing
Tho bait that was suited to ovory fish.
Quoth Satan: "Tho fishing is raro and flno,"
And ho took a drink, somewhat enthused,
And yot a parson swam 'round tho lino
That o'on tho most tomptlng bnlts refused.
Ho tried with his gold and fishing gems,
Hung fnmo and fortuno upon tho lino;
Dressing gowns with ombrlodorcd horns,
nut still tho Domlnlo mado no sign.
A woman noxt wont on tho hook,
"I havo him now," quoth tho Dovll, brightening.
" Thon Satan's sides with laughter shook
And ho lnudod tho proachcr as quick ns lightning!

It was for tho President to load tho way in ono of tho groatost move

Tho figure Is staggering $50,000,
000 differonco In tho stock board
valuation of a stato's stocks for flvo
months is startling even to thoso
who know how stocks go up and
down. Tho Reno papers says every
one Is at a loss to understand this
chango for tho worse. "Thcro is no
feoling of panic and no ono seems to
bollovo tho bottom has fallen out,"
It rcasans. "Many guesses are mado
but thoy arc mostly born of a lively
Imagination. Tho thing is myster
ious, and moro so when stocks nro
weaker than over Just when labor
troubles are at an end nnd better
things might bo expected. Tho
mines are here, and they aro tho
greatest mines In tho world mndo
nono tho less so by stock fluctua
tions." Public Is Wnry.
Tho stock gnmo throughout tho
United States, is not being played
so heavily by tho gonornl public as
It was last summor. Affairs llko tho

In stocks with his llttlo savings. Now
ho wants to bo suro that ho is buy

go, but finds tho really snfo offer
ings nro too high priced. Tho stream
of money pouring into tho stock pits
Inst summer has beon shut off and
diverted to othor channels and things
nro settling gradually as a result.
Tho elimination 'of speculation Is
bringing about a safer stato of af
