FURTHER PROFIT-TAKING
AT OUTSET OF THE MARKET
Business Falls Away More Than Fifty
Per Cent. Compared With Yester
day's Early Session, hut the Prices
Were Well Held
By Associated Press,
New York, Jan. 20—(Wall Street)
—The swift pace maintained' by yes
terday 's market measured further prodit
taking at the outset of to day's session,
most of the leaders yielding fractional
ly, with a loss of 1 1-4 for Canadian
Pacific and one point for Bethlehem
Steel. The preferred shares of the lat
ter company gained 1 3-4, however, in
recognition of its increased dividend.
Kuniley common descended to a lower
price as a result of receivership pro
ceedings. The list, stitt'oned perceptible
before the end of tho half hour under
tho lead of Union Pacific.
Business fell away more than fifty
per cent, compared with yesterday's
early session, but prices were well held
in the face of continued realizing. Im
portant. issues like Reading, Union Pa
cific, St. Paul, Pennsylvania and tlroat
Northern sold above their best in tho
previous days. Missouri Pacific, which
was seeond in activity to Reading,
equalled its recent high. Canadian Pa
cific more than recovered its initial loss
and Bethlehem pfd added to its rise. U.
S. Steel was under pressure, also lead
ing coppers, but Smelting gained a
point. St. Paul convertible 5-s were the
feature of the bond group on extensive
buying at record prices.

An East Indian Prince Who Did Not
Fear Losing Caste.
Mr. Coningsby Dawson, the well
known English writer, tells the follow
ing anecdote of the East Indian prince
Sir Pertab Singh:
A young English lieutenant had died
of cholera in liis palace. The boy was
the son of an English friend. When
the body had to be carried out to be
placed on u gun carriage Sir Pertah
Singh went forward to lift it up. Be'
fore lie touched it he was stopped by
some English officers. They reminded
him that, by his religion, were he to
toucb the dead he would lose all his
caste and perhaps, despite his wealth,
never be able to buy it back. They ad
vised him to send for the sweepers,
who are outcasts. In spite of their
protests he picked up the body and
carried it down the palace steps to
the gun carriage.
A gasp went up at the sight. Every
one of bis subjects knew what he had
done. The next morning, when he
rose. 500 Brahman priests were wait
ing in the courtyard. He came out, a
proud figure, to face them. He knew
what they had come for—to make him
the lowest thing in India, a man with
out caste. He asked them what was
their errand, and they told him. They
had come to make him of as little ac
count as the humblest sweeper in his
palace.
Sir Pertab Singh laughed. "I be
long." he said, "to a higher caste than
any of you have ever dreamed of, and
you can't take it from me; you're wel
come to all the rest. I belong to tjM
same caste as the dead son of mj
friend—the caste of a soldier."
With that he walked back Into bit
palace, and the Brahman priests wen(
away, one by one, ashamed and puz
sled.

NAPOLEON VALUED TIME.
Ha Might Hava to Lose Battlaa, but Ha
Would Not Loia Mlnutaa.
After forcing the army of Sardinia
back toward Turin, Napoleon bad
■carcely taken possession of the beau
tiful Palace Salmatorl, at Cherasco,
thirty-tlve miles from tbe Piedmon
tese capital, when an aged marshal
from tbe Sardinian side came and In
j formed tbe little geoeral of tbe French
| that tbe king was about to propose
| terms of peace.
; "Terms!" shouted the young com
mander In chief In startling tones, as
lie pounded the desk, "It Is 1 who name
' terms. If you don't accept them at
once Turin is mine tomorrow!"
Although the directory, sitting in far
away Paris, bad reserved tbe right for
themselves and their trained diplomats
to accept or reject terms, the young
; general could not delay operations for
] weeks while messengers were sent
; back and forth between the camp and
the capital, so Bonaparte took it upon
himself to arrange an armistice. He
called a halt to all spurring for time
by drawing out his watch and. tapping
the dial with his foretlnger. ordered
them to sign Immediately, remarking:

His Indorsement.
The late Lord Roberts once sent his
i orderly to tbe bank to cash a check.
i says Pearson's Weekly, and tbe clerk
| wanted it Indorsed.
"What for?" demanded the soldier.
! "Well, It's the rule, and 1 can't pay
yoa the money until you do Indorse it,"
be was told.
"Oh, all right," grumbled tbe messen
ger. So he took back the check and bit
the end of a pen in deep meditation for
a minute or two. Then he wrote this:
"I beg to say that I have known
Lord Roberts for several years, and he
has proved himself times without num
ber to be as brave as a Hon. but al
ways kindly considerate to those who
serve under him. And I have, there
fore, great pleasure in respectfully in
dorsing his check."
Difficulties of Pronunciation.
What Is the most difficult English
place name for a foreigner to pro
nounce'/ That Is a question suggested
by a writer In the .London Observer.
He plumps for Southampton as the
most difficult "port of call" for the
Frenchman bound for England. Obvi
ously it cannot be spelled phonetically,
as there Is no "th" in French. We all
have these little International difficul
ties. But the Frenchman gets over
the sea to Southampton by calling It
"Sudonton."
