And throughout the childish appeal runs the note of remorse more bitter than homesickness or unrequltted love the reaming for the caresses and care of a mother who has gone beyond recall.

"Send us a Christmas box if you

t can,", pleads the boys, and adds, "Do not say anything about this letter cause I write It in school. If you do we will get a whipping and do without our food " The little fellow who opines that he can do without Christmas presents but sister . can't cause4 she's a girl, remonstrates against alleged hardships at the home which is said to be the Julia "Works Institution for orphans, maintained by the state. Doubtless the discipline of the place is irksome to him while i may at the same time be for the best, but matrons can never take the place of mothers. "I am tired of staying here because we don't get enough to eat," he says. "If you come or send for us I will work, and I could help you n many ways. Please send a box for sister's Christmas."

Will Steel Market Break? P1TTSBURO. Dec. 19. Will steel prices break, like wheat and stocks, on the new turn of afalrs in Europe? Probably not at once. The tactics of the steel mills have always been to hofd prices, even in face of a decling demand, so as to encourage customers to take out the material already ordered. That course has proved very profitable in the past, and it would be strange Indeed If another course should be followed with order books eo well filled as they are at present. GOINO TO FLORIDA.
