UNCLE DANIELS hANDkERcAIeF.
H~w Old Daniel Drew Played n Financial
Game on the BOYS.

Game on the Boys.
The hlunder of a messenger boy IN the
stock exchange day or two ago, by which
an order intended for one broker was given
10 another and the operations of a prominent
Spectator exposed, recalls story that Wall
street men love TO tell of dead-and gone Uncle
Daniel Drew. Mr.. Drew was squeezed one
famous day by operators in Northwest stock,
and he laid down big pile OF money Ia loSses
Not unnaturally Mr.. Drew felt grieyed. while
other people were correpondingly high
spirited and happy. 1t was great thing to
catch the WHY deacon mapping, and hundred
jokes went the rounds in celebration of his
uISsstting.
Some of these bits of humor fell upon Uncle
Daniels own ears, but he didn't seem to pay
much heed to comments that made all the
rest Of Wall street laugh hilariously. Some
young men old enough to know better even
went so far as TO accost him personally and
laugh Iii his face. Behind the smile that
lighted his face 1t Is barely possible that the
recording angel heard a gritting OF teeth, hut
the festive brokers did not hear any such
thing, and they went ON their way reloicin,
for many days. One evening laC coasr,-
CATION Of them were in an uptown club,
when all unexpected in marched Uncle Dan
iel Drew. He called only for moment: he
was hunting for a man whom he did not find
1t was not an excessively warm night hut
Uncle Daniel seemed to be much overheatsSi
and two or three times he drew out his hs
white handkerchief and bathed his face in it :
and finally out Of his pocket with the hand
kerchief came slip of white paper to float
and circle round till it settled at his feet on
the floor
Mr.. Drew didn't notice that he had los,
anything; the speculative gentlemen before
him did and the foot of one enterpriSnc
broker was blg enough to cover the slip Of
paper over as it lay there on the floor Mr..
Drew went out The eager crowd gathered
up the white scrap, and this in the Wall
street kings own unmistakable handwriting
was what they they saw: Buy me all the
Oshkosh stock You can at any price you can
get it below par" Oshkosh was already
pretty high Everybody was agreeing that
it was too high, and that tumble was newt
able but the handwriting of the millionaire
operator plainly exposed on that slip Of paper
| was sufficient to convince the eager crowd in
the clubroom that night that some new
| scheme must be afoot to send it further sky
| ward Right through the milestone they saw
| il all, and then and there they made up q
pool to buy ~ ,00o or 5000 shares the next
| day. They did, and the man who sold i, Il
them was Daniel Drew. He bIandly told
| them all about it as they saw their money al
going to pot, Oshkosh declining a dozen point,

had been carefully planned Haistonr IL
