FINANCE
FIRMER TENDENCY STILL
CONTINUES AMONG STOCKS
A Number of Leading Issues Add to
Their Recoveries Made During the
Closing Houi-s of the Market Last
Week
By Associated Press.
Neiv York, Dec. 2S.—The firmer
tendency noted at the conclusion of
last week's operations in the stock
market was continued to-day, a number
ot leading issues adding to'their recov
cries of that period. Most significant
among these was IT. S. Steel, which ad
v a need to 49, a point above its mini
mum. Bethlehem Steel rose 2 points to
its best price for the movement, while
Union i acifie, Reading, Krie, Canadian
Pacific Amalgamated, Smelting and
Northern Pacific were up from 1 to 2
points. Brooklyn Transit was the only
active stock to lag behind. Trading in
the first half hour, which was below
normal, was far in excess of last Satur
day.
Further improvement and greater ae
ti\ itv were recorded with the progress
of the early session, steel going to
49 14. with gains of l'/ s to 3 points over
last Saturday in other improvement
shares. The demand, according to pop
ular belief, came fron other sources
besides the short interest, theory being
prevalent that the market had been
over-sold, mainly because of the for
eign situation. Brokers with European
affiliations were reported as moderate
buyers of the international list. Inter
est in conditions abroad was heightened
by another decline in the London Ex
change to the lowest -point of the year.
Bonds were firm.

Keystone Minstrels at High School
Friday and Saturday
Special Correspondence.
Da uphill, Dec. 2S.—The Methodist
Cpiscopal church held their entertain
ment on Christmas night. The principal
feature of the program was a cantata,
entitled '/Colonel Grumpy's Christ
mas," which the older children ren
| dercd and the little tots had recitations
and other exercises appropriate for
Ohristmas. The church was beauti
fully decorated with ropes of spruce,
Christmas bells and a Christmas tree.
Next Friday and Saturday evening,
the Keystone minstrels will present in
the High school room at Dauphin their
up-to-date minstrel show. The members
of this company are composed of voung
men of Harrisbnrg and Dauphin se-
I lected for the good quality of their

| SONG 151 SI'HAM MADE FAJIOI'S
Vocalist Will Give "Danny Deever"
at Majestic New Year's
It is interesting to nolc how strong
a hold a song will sometimes gain on
public favor, as for instance the Kip
ling epic, ''Danny Deever."
"I have learned," says David Bisp
ham, "that if I do not put it on my
program I will be compelled to give it
anyway, for on more than one occa
sion I have tried the experiment of not
including it, but tllie people simply
would not go home until they had heard
'Danny' sung."
DAVID BXSriTAM
"Dainty Deever" sung as it is l»v
jSispham, is a wonderful bit of grue
some realism, ami the manner in which
I lie gives it is ..aid to make it one
of the most thrilling tone htures ever
painted.
"'lt is a curious tiling, - ' says a St.
Louis critic, •' to note liovv I his
"Danny Deever" giip people. Old
men and children, young men and maid
ens, yes, old Indies and gentle spinsters
-—there is not one that is not made to
sit lip and breathe hard, .inst. as the
rear-ianil man did. or feel hot and cold
by turns, and get 'white, o white' jiisb
as thy color sergeant did while tiles
on parade was whispering (o him."
No iiispham , rogram would be com
plete thai did not toutaiu this Dam roach
idealization of "Tontmv \tkins," and
it will of course be included at the
great baritone's concert at the Majes
tic Now Vent 's evening. Adv.*
It's a Grfod Letter, After All
Some one has advanced the opiuion
that the letter "c" is 1 he most unfor
tunate letter in the English alphabet be
cause it is always out of cash, forever
in debt, never out of danger and in holl
all the time. For some reason he over
looked the fortunates of the letter, so
we call his attention to the fact "e" is
never in war and always in peace. It
is the beginning of existence, the com
mencement of ease and the end of trou
ble. Without it there would be ro
meat, no life and no heaven. It is the
center of honesty, makes love perfect,
and without it there would be no edi
tors, devils or news.—'Fourth Estate.
The Problem
\\ ill is—'Are you going to take that
flat you were speaking about? liillis—
-1 don't. know. Of course we can keep
the baby in the Uitclien range during
the summer, but I don't know where
wo can putrlim in the winter.—Phila
delphia Ueeord.^
