How the japan ese Deal With Speeu.
latOrs.

The Japanese have short and easy
way of dealing with Stock Exchange
brokers. 1t was recently resolved to ar.
rest at the same moment all offenders on
the Stock Exchanges at Osaka, Yoko-
hama and Kobe as well as at the Rice
Exchange of Toxic, Otsu and other i'm
portant commercial centers. The police
inspectors received their orders only on
the morning of the day fixed, and strong
detachments of constables-all wearing
various disguises-then proceeded to
the vicinity of the Exchanges and
mingled with the crowd SO as to avoid
observation. A few minutes after eleven
o'clock all was in readiness. Six detect.
ives stationed inside sounded their
whistles, and before the amazed specu-
lators realized what was the matter tho
Exchanges were in the occupation of tho
police, the doors locked and the prison
ers secured. All the books, records and
papers were then taken possession OF,
and the whole "haul" was removed in
boats to the Central Police Station. It
is stated that the offense with which
these men are charged is specializing in
'margins." Over 700 delinquents were
put in prison. A month of this kind Of
thing in New York or Chicago-and-
well, what would become Of us!-Ner

slowly past one Of those brokers' offices.
She was dressed neatly and exquisitely
in white, and was so attractive in ap.
pearance as to be generally observed.
She was one of the prettiess of the few
pretty girls in the Treasury. Knowing
her quite well, and noticing her apparent
anxiety, asked her what the trouble
was. She said she wanted to know what
Northern Pacific common was quoted at,
and requested me to step into the bro
ker's Office aud look at the quotations on
the big blackboard. 1 complied with
her request, and informed her that
Northern Pacific was strong at 521. She
was much elated at the news, saying that
she was better off than she expected by
good many dollars. She had bought
Northern Pacific at so several weeks ago
on a small margin, and the stock had
hugged that figure SO long that she be.

She went back to her work with glad
heart, and, no doubt, with visions OF
