AN "OWHD" TO TALI
The melancholy days have como.
The saddest of my recollection
The fiirme' sbocketh his corn
And husketh bis pumpkins.
And county lairs are now the proper
thing;
The cold winds whlstleth
Thiough tho tiecs and through
Tho oung mans summer clothlnpr.
And he wondereth what ho didst
With his summer wages.
The babo ball suit is
Laid on n high shelf;
And soonly will tho young man
Get on his skates (steel ones)
And skim oer the glassy surface
Of the lake.
The summer resorter fleetli
Back to his home,
And the man led folks
Leave their suburban homes
And siek tho steam-heated blocks'.
And even the trees
Iiegln to leave
'Twas ever thus!

HEROINE OF HICKORY GROVE.
Miss Grace Waterman, a comely
young school teacher, Is Just now the
heroine of HUkoiy Grove. For some
time past she has vearned to distin
guish herself by killing a rattlesnake.
A few davs since her wish was grati
fied In a very unexpected manner. Af
ter closing her Oak Hill school for the
day, she had occasion to pass through
a meadow, and In doing so she saw,
Just ahead of her, a splendid specimen
of the rattler. Placing her books upon
the cround, she struck at the snake
with her parasol. The reptile was ready
for battle and Instantly colled himself
around the parasol. Miss Waterman
dashed the parosnl against it tree and
the snake was killed. Picking up her
books she continued on her way, but
in a moment she discovered that she
was surrounded by snakes of different
sizes, all of them In positions of at
tack or defense. The plucky git I armed
herself with a stout hickory club and
at once commenced striking the rep
tiles right and left. In nbout five min
utes she had killed every ono of them,
fourteen In number. Several of them
were over four feet in length. Three of
them had fifteen rattles. Miss "Water
man arrived home little worse for her

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Ntroot Hnviriv
New York, Oct. C Not for many wock3
has Wall street bom so dull iib today.
It woh offered as nn explanation that
the ovo of tho Jewish dny of atonement
called many brokers nnd operators .rem
the street. Hut there was a manifest
disposition to rcffrnln from trndlng. nnd
yesterday's sharp reaction seemed U ud
monlsh the bulls that conditions aro not
yet ready for n resumption of tho nil
wince. Tho favorable factors which de
veloped during tho day, although they
nftccted for a time the individual stocks
to which they applied, were Ineffective
In cnuslng n gcneiul ndvance, und most
