SO Foster has failed and ma an
outcome Foster falls heir to to vast
deal Of square, manly sympathy
here IN Washington. Foster was
a square, good American citizen
every time his republicanism would
permit. He and Noble were the
best OF the last cabinet. Years ago
Foster was rich and Brice wasn't.
Brice wanted Foster to give him an
office. Foster gave him instead $500
and directions to 60 to Wall street
and do something for him in certain
railroad stocks he, Foster, was tam
gled up with Brice went. He did
everything Foster told him not to
do and nothing he had been told
to do and closed the deal with a
profit of $4,000. Foster gave him
$4,000 for his recalcitr in dis
obeying orders. Then Brice went
on and on up the dizzy heights of
railway speculation, until now he is
camped way up above financial tim
Der line and on the snow capped
and chilly pinacles of money success.
1t is now his time to play the re-
turn game and start Foster. There
is no doubt but he will do it. Brice's
long suit is never Forgetting friend.
nor failing to come to that friends
rescue. If there had been no Fos-
ter there had been no Brice, and now
