COUNTRY MERCHANTS FLOCK TO NEW YORK
WITH NEWS THAT EYERY SECTION IS PROSPEROUS
Ten Thousand Buyers From South and West With $100,000,
000 to Spend Tell East to "Cheer Up."
New York City. Tea thousand
business men and women from the
West and Southwest are In town
pending, it Is estimated, 9100,000,
000. They hare driven "pessimism
from the groat down-town Jobbing
district with stories of assured pros
perity and aro spreading joy and cash
among the hotels, theatres and other
amusement places.
This Is the annual buying period
for the spring trade and reduced
rates on the railroads are bringing
merchants here from the small towns
In far away Texas as well as from
Chicago, St. Louis and the big cen
tres. The registration at the Mer
chants' .Association Is within a hun
dred odd of the phenomenal registra
tion last spring, when prosperity was
at Its helgnt. Nearly 2000 buyers or
their representatives, about one-half
of whom are women, have registered.
They are coming at the rate of nearly
200 a day. As only a portion take
advantage of the special railroad
rates It Is estimated that the total
number of buyers at present here Is
about 10,000.
Hotels Are Crowded.
c Every hotel that caters to the out-of-town
custom is crowded, the big
hotels have all they can handle and
the family hotels are turning hun
dreds of people away. The buyers
are being entertained nt cluhs, din
ner parties, theatres and with auto
mobile trips by the merchants who
are receiving the benefit of their
trade.
S. C. Mead, secretary of the Mer
chants' Association, said of the Influx
of buyers:
"It means that the country Is all
right. The men who are coming to
New York now to lay In their spring
stocks are mainly from the West and
Southwest. I have not heard one of
them talk about hard times. They
laugh at the Idea, and I tell you their
optimism Is having a big effect here
in New York. Our merchants rather
had the Idea that trade was going to
be dull this spring, but they have
changed their opinion in the past few
days. Buyers have registered here
from towns of not over 1000 popula
tion in Texas, the new State of Okla
homa and the entire Southwest as
well as from Chicago, St. Louis, In
dianapolis, Detroit and the other big
cities.
"The most encouraging reports are
brdught from Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, where the crops have been
good. I have been surprised at the
number of new faces and have been
told that scores of new business
houses are springing up."
In the shops of the H. B. Claflln
Company, Tefft, Weller & Co., C. B.
Bouss, the Chelsea Trading Company
and others extra employes have been
hired to take care of the Increased
trade. Thore has also been a boom
in the mall order business, while re
ports from commercial travel.-! a are
to the effect that conditions nre as
good as they were this time last year.
Alexander Bombard, representing
one of the largest houses In Galves
ton. Texas, said:
"We have had splendid crops down
In our 8tata, and we have no patience
with hard-time talk. I nm here to
purchase one of the largest orders for
expensive dry goods that our house
has ever put in. Texans have money
to spend and they are going to spend
It this spring. My advice to Now
Yorkers Is to cheer up."
A. S. ScmmcB. of Detroit, said:
"I guess I wouldn't be buying $50,
000 worth of clothing, mostly expen
sive, too, if we were running bread
lines in Detroit. The outlook in our
section is very bright, and I am sure
It Is going to be a good buBines
year."
"Business was never better In my
State," said Chester L. Walbrldge, ol
Baton Rouge, La. "We anticipate n
big spring trade, and 1 am going to
take South with me the biggest stock
of goods that I ever purchased. Not
even the coming Presidential election
has scared us."
Similar statements were made by
business men from Chicago, St. Louis,
Louisville and other cities.
H. C. FlBher, of Buffalo, said the
merchants there are preparing for a
great ruBh of trade.
New York Alone is Nervous.
"We are not worrying anything
like the New York merchants seem to
be," said Mr. Fisher. "It appears
that New York is the most nervous
town In the country. Further afleld
you find more confidence to the block
than there Is here to the acre."
Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Newman,
representing several departments ol
a large Chicago store, spoke for the
Middle West.
"We expect to do a banner busl
ness this year," said Mr. Newman,
"panic or no panic. There is no fear
of overstocking In Chicago, and I be
lieve the same Is true of the Middle
West towns. I expect to purchase
more goods on my present trip than
ever before, and I've been a buyei
for a good many years."
Representatives of firms In Colum
bus, Cincinnati and Youngstown, .,
had the same thing to say.
Irwin Hochsteln, of Atlanta, Oa.,
declared that Southern city to be lust
as prosperous as the big towns fur
ther north.
Cheer Up! Money's Plenty.
"New Yorkers should cheer up," he
said. "There's plenty of money
around, and people are spending all
the more freely for the temporary
stringency."
Albert Freseh, of a MemphlB firm,
said he understood that the planter;
expected a good year, and added that
as the planters fared, so fared the
South.
CONDITIONS ON MARS. 5
S Fmm "Tri Call (I Another Wrl" ky Chirlts
Trat. In Mi Metrasolltsn Mmrlnt.
The days In Mars are of about the
same length as ours: twenty-four
hours, thirty-nine minutes, twenty
three seconds. Mars makes her orbit
around the sun In a little more than
686 days, therefore the seasons are
almost twice as long as they are with
us. The atmosphere of Mars Is rich
in watery vapors. Oceans can be
seen, and at the poles thick Ice, which
melts when summer comes. The
variations in temperature are ex
treme. Mars receives only half as
much solar heat as our globe does.
The sun appears half as large, and
the nights receive their light from
two moons, which nre smaller than
ours Deimos and Phobos.
The weight Is such that one of our
kilograms would only weigh three
hundred and seventy-six grams there.
A man Is only able to carry his own
weight on his back. Transported to
Mars, he could carry three times as
much, something like two hundred
and twenty-five kilos. In taking ob
servations of Mars through the tele
scope, one can see a distinct red
disk, marked with more or lesB bril
liant spots. Some of the spots which
are greenish are the oceans, other
very red ones are the continents,
greater In extent than the. ocenns.
which Is the opposite to the way the
earth Is disposed. The most bril
liant spots are the Ice-covered re
gions of the poles, and the clouds
are almost equally bright. The at
mosphere of Mars Is moro transpar
ent than ours, and Us sky Is incom
parably clear.
The waters of Mars are more di
vided nnd distributed In Inland seas
joined by long nrms, which are some
times incurving, but oftenest almost
rectilinear, and which mark the bril
liant surface of the planet with dark
lines, just as the line of lead divides
the panes of glass In our church win
dows. All these dark lines form a
pattern which Is relatively symmetri
cal, and which does not seem to have

have been disposed to consider these
lines as canals dug by the Inhabitants
of the planet for the needs of their

France's Opiam Peril.
Just now France is having trouble
In both branches of hor service. The
army has been declared Incompetent
and Inefficient In many particulars
by some of the men highest In that
branch of the service.
Opium, valued at several thousand
dollars, has now been found in the
stores of several Oriental curio
dealers in Marseilles. A search was
made upon the complaint of the wives
of naval officers who declared that
their husbands were obtaining and
using the drug. Investigation shows
that the habit has Increased to an
alarming extent in the navy, aud
there are not wanting those who con
nect this disclosure with the many
accidents that have occurred to the
French navy iu the past eighteen
months.
The French peasant Is tho most
frugal and the most productive force
in European economic life, but how
long he will stand the burden of mili
tary and naval expenditure when It
seems to result In so little real good
to the country Is a question. The
most disheartening thing to France
is that the naval authorities have i
been endeavoring for some time to
stamp out the opium evil, but to
have been unable to accomplish much
along this line.
dome of the Almost Unbellcrnblo
Tricks One Roger Docs.
Then I resolved to teach him to
spell his name. I drew the letters
of tho nlphnbet on square bits of
cardboard and laid them in front of
him, the letters of his name mixed In
with others which he was not to use.
I did not teach blm the names of tho
lettcrn but simply said: "Let me see
you spell your name. Whero Is tba
first letter? The second let
ter?" and so op until he had spelled
the word. I spent five or six lessons
teaching him, but ho learned very
rapidly. I thought, however, that
when I tausht him another word, and
asked for the letters In order, he
would not know which "first letter"
to choose. For this reason I drilled
him very carefully In his name, aud
did not teach him anything new for
several months. Then I taught him
to spell his last name. He seemed to
learn It as fast as I told him tho let
ters, and did not confuse the two
words In the least. More surprised
than over) I taught him still another
word, with the same result.
Next I decided to try arithmetic. I
taiii','i him to add every combination
of two as far as twelve. For Instance,
I would Fay, "Show mo six and two,"
at the same tlma putting his foot on
eight. He seemed never to forget
after I had onco told him. Later I
taught him to odd the "threes."
Suddenly one day I noticed that when
I said for the flrBt time, "Wheru 1m
seven and three?" ho put his foot on
the correct answer before I showed It
to him. I thought It was only lin uc
cldent, but I said, "Show me three
and eight." He put his foot at once
on eleven. I gave bin problems In
multiplication and division He got
them nil right. 7ho problems were
entirely new to him nnd In no case
did I indicate the result to him be
forehand. Not knowing what to
think, I took out the letters and said,
"Spoil dog." This was a word which
he ha J never spelled before, and I
gave him no clew whatever, yet he
spoiled it correctly and without hesi
tation. I said, "Translate It into Ger
man, Roger," and he spelled It
-hunn." Then I said, "Spell it In
French," and he spelled "chien." I
merely placed the letters of the words
before him, mixed In with others, and
he put his foot on the correct letters
in turn. I showed him playing cards
which he had never seen and he
picked them out correctly. Not once
did I previously indicate the proper
cards. He seemed to know them
without even being told. I resolved
to experiment a little, so I took out
the figures again and said, "Show me
two times three," at the same tim?
fixing my attention on the eight. He
put his foot firmly on eight. Here
was the clew! All this time when
he seemed to be learning so rapidly
he had been simply getting tho card
of which I thought.
No further education was neces
sary. He could spell anything which
I could spell without being taught.
I asked for "Constant I noile,"c
"phthisic," "pneumonia," nnd for
problems like two times three plus
four divided by two minus one. He
never made a mistake. Fractions
presented no difficulties to him. He
selected colors correctly the first time
he saw them and made change as
quickly as any cashier. I also found
that he would do his other tricks for
me without being asked. If I merely
thought of him as he looked when he
was a "dead dog" he straightway be
came a "dead dog." At first he would
not perform at all for any one else,
but sometimes when another person
was working with him and several
other people were present he got the
cards I thought of when I was out of
sight In the farther corner of the
room. Now, however, he will per
form for several of my friends, when
I am not present, selecting the cards
of which they think. Of course, he
does not do quite so well for them
as he does for me, and if I am pres
ent he gets the card I think of re
gardless of any one else. From B. B.

Woman Walks After Twenty Years.
Attributing her recovery to con
stant prayer, Miss Lucy Mackey,
of Washington, Pa., who for nearly
twenty years had been confined to
her bed with her right arm and right
leg completely paralyzed Is today
able to walk about the room appar
ently completely well. Heretofore
she had been compelled to lie on her
back In a perfectly helpless state,
in regard to her restoration to health,
Miss Mackey said:
"1 attribute my cure to prayer
alone. I have prayed almost con
stantly for the last twenty years, and
I have always felt that God would
In Ills own way help me. This morn
ing I was lying In bed and praying.
All at once something seemed to pass
through my body like an electric
shock. From that moment I felt
stronger. I knew that my arm and
leg had regained their strength. I
Immediately got out of bed, but while
my arm and leg had been made
whole, I could scarcely stand for diz
ziness. As soon as I, have clothes
made I will go out and tell the peo

Window Caused War.
A terrible war was once caused
by a window.
It was in the days when Louis XIV
(the Grand Monarch) was dazzling
Europe. His Minister, Louvois, was
superintending on the King's behalf
tho building of the Paluce of Trianon
In the park at Versailles. Louis In
spected the buildings one afternoon,
and declared one of the windows to
be out of shape and smaller than tho
rest. ThlB Louvois denied, and tho
King had the window measured,
with the result that he was proved
to be right, and he openly before all
the court ridiculed Louvois.
But the Minister had his revenge,
for with the angry ejaculation that
"he would find better employment
for a monarch than that of Insulting
his favoriteB," he embroiled France
by his insolence in a quarrel with
the powers, which ended years later
only in the Peace of Kyswick, after
a war which entailed the loss of
many lives and the expenditure of
large sums of money.

.Good Business.
George B. Cortelyou, the Secretary
of the Treasury, was talking at a din
ner about the recent panic.
"There's a Btory about a well
knowu railroad man In the panic that
Is almost too good," said Mr. Cor
telyou. "This man is kind-hearted,
and he was deeply moved by a letter
that a country parson wrote him
when things were looking their worst.
"The letter ran like this:
" 'Dear Sir As the pastor of
Church, my aim has always been In
vestment and not speculation. Re
garding your railroad as a sound busi
ness Institution, solid as a rock, in
1904 I purchased 400 of Its shares
at 106, sinking my little all In them
and a great deal more. They have
now fallen to fifty-five, and I am un
done. My congregation I cannot face
as a bankrupt, and at my age seventy-two
years what am I to do?
I throw myself upon your mercy.'
"WeJI," said Mr. Cortelyou, "the
banker read this letter several times
and each time his pity for the poor
old parson Increased. Finally, call
ing In his stenographer, ho wrote to
the man that, considering all the
painful circumstances of the case, he
would himself buy back the 400
shares at 106, the price the parson
had paid for them.

generous letter, the parson wired to
his brokers:
