A EoD Who yyus N Fighter.

Nine-tenths of The men in our regiment,
said veteran, conceived dislike for our
odjutant simply because they regarded him
as fop. He was n handsome fellow, lit
tic proud perhaps of his clear complexion,
fine features, and shapely form, and given
to extreme nicely in dress. He discarded
the ordinary frock coat and the blouse, and
had made to order roundabout or jacket,
on which was placed all the gold-lace orna-
mentation that good taste would allow.
His whole makeup, taking in cap, jacket,
and trousers, was jaunty, if not fantastic.
The boys marked him down flop and call.

was transferred to brigade headquarters Ms
Adjutant General, and the men of the bri-
gade came to share the distrust of his old
regiment, but ut Stone River there came 10
all these men a revelation in character. At

Everything was in confusion major-gen-

regiments, officers and men were losing
their grip, and what Ind been furious

panic. At this juncture there came into the

The boys turned in amazement to regard
his movements, and as he rode with a sort
of forlorn hope into tho very faces of the

plunged forward. They were driven back,
but they made fgat for it, and oil along

IN A RuCKET SHOP.
Backing the Sock Tiger in small veu-
lures.

Bucket shop speculation is considered q
triae more respectable than playing policy
and fraction less than ordinary stock spec
ulation through the medium of an exchange
broker. The bucket shop is the middle
ground to which fortunate policy players
and less fortunate street. operators re-
sort for further chase after unearned
wealth. Its patrons come from every class
of society, without respect to age, sect or
occupation. The numerous bucket shops
in the vicinity of Third and Chestnut streets
are daily throngtd With heterogeneous mss
of humanity who are willing to bet ON &
game that makes the dealer rich. Theri
are boys scarce ten years old; there are
hoary- headed men old enough to know bet
ter; clerks, broken-down business men,
street loafers, physicians without clients,
sporting men of every sort who meet daily
10 talk of stocks and values - and put
up their money ON the most perfect game
ever conceived for allowing a man to i'm.
poyerish himself. Besides these there are
great many people who fear to be seen in
a buclketshop, who sit in brokers' offices
and get "points and send their orders to
the but k It shops by district telegraph mes
sengers. But most remarkable OF all, some
of the large stock brokers who operate or
the exchange patronize the bucket shopi
through the medium of their Office boys.
The method of operation is very simple.
A bucket shop is miniature exchange
whose quotations come direct from the New
York Exchange. The broker transacts all
the business. He buys of any ons who
wants to sell or sells when any one wants
to buy. He requires only one per cent
margin, charges one-eighth of one per cent.
commission when the deposit is made and
like amount when the transaction ia closed.
The profits to the Spectator are usually
limited to two hundred per cent, although
some of them ore more reckless and have
no limit The margins put up on any one
stock are usually limited TO one hun
dred dollars, but the number of investments
is unlimited. Thus one operator who has
"point that St Paul, which is selling at
95. is on the rise will instruct the broker
to buy him five shares OF that stock and de-
post his margin of five dollars. If by
happy chance st. Paul, which he bought at
50, should go to 96 the investor is 1915
ahead after deducting brokers' commission.
He mny leave it in or draw it out ut any
time until it touches 81, at which point lie
has reached the limit and must draw out.
II. however, the stock goes down he can
draw out at amy time what there is left I'M
Ill it touches "a, when his margin is cover
ed and mis- money is gone. No stock is
bought or sold. That is n fiction. The
whole transaction is bet on the rise or
fall of stock in the market. Philadelphia

of colored citizens last Sunday. The two
women and the two men who wanted to be
joined in matrimany were standing up to-
gether and the Justice married one of the
women to both the men and both the women

since to get it all Strengthened out.--Atsens
