The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-10-10

Strange characteristic OF the human
mindl II loves to take chances. All mer
are gamblers. They prefer TO take circuit
| Gus routes Mr.. Hutchinson showed these
men where they could make fortunes, anc
they doubted him because he was frank.
The informant continued: "When The
old gentleman saw that they didn't heeC
him, having given them every opportu
nity, he went on the stage, rung up th,
curtain, and said, let the play begin
'"rhe old gentleman is human like othel
men. lie was hurt to think he wa:
doubted. He didn't know why he should
be, and when the rains came and the
winds blew, and there was a devil OF 0
time, he folded his arms and looked on
from a secure observatory. That is all
there is 10 this wheat corner. IL Is the
alpha and omega OF the whole business.
| Ii YOU care TO look into il you will find
plenty Of filling, plenty OF side.shows and
branches and all that sort Of thing. But
you have the start Of it and the end, 30 I'm
as he is concerned"
-.
/ asked the informant II he knew somc-
thing Of Mr. llutchinson's boot and shoe
venture in Lynn, Mass.
"Only that he failed and settled for 10
cents on the dollar. In those days when
u man failed his creditors took whatever
they could get Mt the time Of the failure.
But after Mr.. Hutchinson came west and
laid aside competency he went back 10
Lynn one day. hunted up his creditors or
their heirs, paid them the remaining 30
cents, and added the legal interest.
don't say that WIS what he ought 10 have
done, and don't say he ought TO have
done IL. don't say that he In the only
man in Chicago who ever did such thing
| | only mention II 10 show you the differ
ence between the man as he is and the
man M the world looks ut him."
That tickle nation OF the carih-France
has handed down proverb that no man
Is entitled 10 credit for doing his duty. We
Americans are quick TO apply II where Il
fits. But how uncbaritablc we are TO the
man who Is sometimes 50 transparent that
he cannot do his duty.
'Thcre Is one thing about Mr. Hutchin-
son, think, that ought 10 he said, CON
unucd the informant 81 don't want 10
eulorize him too highly, but there is one
thing that N known on the Chicago board
| 81 trade M well rs know IL, and that is
this Old Hutch never in his lie made
q complaint against any member Of the
board In his character OF member. What
may have been said outside don't know,
but you understand me, he never pre-.
lerred charge against any member
They have hauled him up and, ~ tho
I,B,cs knows, he WIS suspended. He took
his medicine and said nothing. lie WIS
abused by men whom lac had put on their
feet. There Is nothing new in that"
=.
The readers OF the Itmcs have been in
formed that Mr.. Hutchinson, In spite Of
his love OF the commercial side Of life, is
an ardent admircr oi poetry aud patron
OF fine arts. II must be confessed that a
mnn who has fondncss for the poetry Of
Whittier Is not lar removed from some OF
those principles which incline us 10 the
belief that thcru is some other existence
than that OF today.
One evening, after day Of unusual ex-
element on the old board, Hutch" sat
by window in the Corn Exchange
bank. The room was quiet, for business
was over, except that Of the bookkccpcrs.

in. lie was In ahappy mood lie didn't
