Effort to Lift Price on the Stock Market Followed by a Reaction . Apparently Sewn Had Mttlc to Do i With tho Action. New York. Feb. 14. -Yesterday's pro mise of risln price for stocks was not held to-day, and the failure of tho ef fort to lift prices was followed by a re action. New had llttlo to do, apparent ly, with the action of the market. Tho decisive Influence was the perception that the Improved demand incited by yes terday'a encouraging action of th mar ket was being taken advantage of to re alise on the part of the purchasers of yesterday. The professional traders ac repted this as an Indication that yester day' operations wern designed for a bote turn on the market. When they perceived the renllrlna thev off ere I prtee down, with the ready adaptability of that class to the most available movement of prices under the early buy ing which hi-lped to absorb the realizing was helped out by the demand for lndon account. The prosaic termination of to day's meetings by contrast was followed by considerable selling of Ntocks all through the list.

St Louis dlo4e-Democrat la there such a thing as a dog's anthology.- a voiuma made up of the many passage In literature that apeak ef man. faithful little frlendT What a pleasant book It would be, hoar der to the heart of the world, to old and young alike. ''Ma Is the god of the dog" said Uaronv "Love ma. Jove my dog," said the JCngtlsh poet, 'lie Is tho only creature faithful to the end." Mid turn eat old Crabbe. Far tack, In Ik very dawn of letters, wa read of Argue, the olassle type) of fidelity and watchful nee. Us fiiead of Ulysses, the dog of Homer. n Charlotte, C. LEFT one set 40-inch Picker Ma- Bolls and Coilers. Write After a aepaatlon of more than 20 years, when friends had forgotten, and even the loving wife mourned him as lost, old Argos knew hla lord. "He knew and strove to weep, In vain . be tried to crawl and kiss his feet. Yet, all he could, his tail, his ears, his eyes Salute his master and confess hla joys. Soft pity touched hia mighty master's soui, Adown hla cheek a tear unbidden stole." fn all tioetry there Is nothing more tender Jfhan those lines that tell how the ralthfur creature, taking one last, lonu look at hla master, lies down "and lets life softlv ebb nwav." Literature is full of dog pictures; his cheerful bark echoes from many a printed page, his blight eyes gleam In many a work of art, nls graceful limbs are fixed In monument and statue. Shakeapeore. of course, has left bright sketches Of dogs, both great and small- Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart, ana all the others" and r.s we know from "fair tradition." was In real life a "lov er of man's humble friend." None but a dog-lover could have bo beautifully described the hounds of Theseus: "Their heads are hung with ears that sween aw.ir the mornlnir flews. Crooked-kneed and dew-lapped, like Thesaanan nuns; Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth I'ke bells. Each under each. A cry mora tunable was never hollo'ed to, nor cheered with horn. In Crete, In Sparta, nor In Thessaly." In "The Two Oentlemen of Verona we read of Luunc-r, who loves his dog and haa a more than human fellowship with him. He calls Crab the "sourest dog that ever lived" because he did not weep with him when his family were In trouble. Ho says: "Oft had I taken Crab's faults upon me and bent beneath the stripes were meant for him," and soms to think It no more than Crab should do for him In return. In "The Taming of the Shrew" the lord tells his huntsmen to "tender well the hounds." and master and man dis cuss the doings of Merrlman and Clow der, of Silver and Bellman and Echo, as If thoy were Intimate friends. Al most a volume might be filled with the doings of the dogs of Shakespeare. The sour, little, spiteful Pope had one amiable weakness If It be a weakness In that he was a man of dogs. He must have loved them, too, or he. could never have translated Homer ana his Argus with so rtuich feeling. He had one real dog. named Bounce, whese epitaph was well written by himself, and In "Tho Rape of the I,ck" he makes a pnerty by-play, In which the lap dog brightens up the. scene, where the court lady rev els In "Puffs, powders, patches, Bibles, billet doux. i Many are the dogs of the plowboy poet. Who can forget the "Twa Dogs," one his own favorite, the other "keeplt for his honor's pleasure," a "gentleman and scholar of high degreeT" Nothing better did Burna write than the story of his brave Luath. "A plowman's collie, A rhyming, ranting, raving blllle, Whn for his friend and comrade had him: An' In his freaks had Luath ca'd him After some dog In highland sang Was made lang-ayne Lord knows how lent. ITe waa a gash and faithful tyke As ever lesped a dlteh or dyke. Ills honest, sonsle, baws'n't face Aye gat him friends In Ilka place." And what a natural thing when Luath speaks of the poor man's children: i "The young anes ran tin through the house, My heart has been sas fain to see them That I for Joy has barklt wl' them." And after the hlghpborn dog telle of the ourses that darken a lofty estate, how delightful the finishing touch, when the "twu ilogs" "Got up nnd shook their lugs. Rejoiced they were not men, but dogs." Fngland's Smallest Dwarf. London Kvenlng Standard. John William Holllna who has Just died at Stoke, waa probably the small est adult dwarf In England. Borne years ago Barnum A Bailey offered 250 pounds for the privilege of exhibiting him, out the offer was refused.
