OLD DAYS IN WALL STREET


How the Brokers Used to InIuice in
BOcu' transactions.
An old Wall street man, long since
retired, spelling OF the numerous
change III IT, manners and customs
of the stock exchange said to the
New York Tribune writer: The
lambs that We have in the street in
these days were called ilunheys when
l was on change, some forty or fifty
years ago. a turnkey we regarded as
a man who, deceived by appearances,
went into the market without any
knowledge of it and generally lost all
he had.
I'VE have had bulls and bears ever
since | can remember, but the tamil
lar terms bull hackers and bear traps
/ have not heard in good many
years. They were the moneyad men,
the big spectators who coMbined
with each other for the purpose of
cornering the market; men such as
keene and Gould, Drew, Commodore
Vanderbilt and Jacob Little. In
those days the brokers used to play
lovingly among themselves for the
purpose OF keeping up appearances.
When they had no customers on
whom to practice, they would make
large transactions, which, by mutual
understanding, were not to be full
filled, and when the game was out
the securities were thrown back on
the market. These transactions,
often published in the commercial
newspaper, went forth to the world
as the evidences of value and the
condition of the money market to de-
ceive the unwary. The present man
! agement of the stock market renders
such transactions impossible. Be-
sides, the papers OF to-day would re-
! fuse to publish them

Had a volcano in MS Arms.

Courage like that sometimes ac-
credited to the red man was wit
messed at Shamokin,. Pa, the other
day. Irwin Derk, Charles shannon
and Clarence Fredericks broke into
Weldy's powder mill one night and
secured large amount of dualin.
Next morning the boys found it
frozen. Derk stacked 100 pieces as
large as a candle around stove to
thaw. The lads went skating, and
later Mrs. Derk discovered the ex-
plosive, partially melted. She sum-
moned her husband, who. after
wrapping clothes around his feet and
fitting gloves upon his hands. bravely
crept up to the suffering dualin.
Piece by piece he laid it in the
clothes basket, expecting every
moment that he and the house would
be blown to pieces. When he
emerged with the explosives he was
cheered by the by-standers. -Phila-

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service il the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
Is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains, magnificent dining
cars, sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant. and OF recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are Il double duty-to the company
and to travelcrs-and it is sometimes
Il task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and YOU can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

Modern Tendencies Toward the Develop
ment OF The !iight.
The despised left hand makes good
its claims in many cases to be the
DETER of the two. The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicetv
the strings of the violin are surely
as cunning as those that move the
bow. The hand that guides the reins
and steers with eXactness the horse
through the crowded streets is quite
as cunning as-one might say much
more than-the hand that yields the
whip.
But great is fashion, unanswerable
is theory, says Chambers journal.
1t would appear that as life becomes
more and moro complex we are be-
coming more and more specialized.
and the difference between our limbs
is encouraged, rather than hindered,
by every pair of scissors turned off
at sheffield, by every screw made in
Birmingham, and by every slap adj
ministered to the young offending
fingers that would dare shake hands
incorrectly.
1t is curious to note the vagaries
OF humanity in cases where no hard
and fast line has ever been drawn.
Although most right-handed persons
put on their coats left arm first, a
considerable percentage thrust in
the right arm first Soldiers fire
from the right shoulder, but sports
men are found who prefer the left.
In working with the spade, a proDor-
ton of right-handed men grasp the
spade with the loft hand and push
with left foot and right hand; though,
when using an AK, the same individu-
ais would grasp furthest down with
the right. The Persians mount their
horses from the right side, which is
the different side from that mounted
by the Europeans.
The buttons on coats, etc, are
| placed on the right side and the shed
| of the hair in boys to the left, evil
IDENTIFY to suit manipulation by the
| right hand. The great philosopher
Newton records that at first he con-
fined his astronomical observations
to his right eye, but afterward he
| managed to train his left But there
are persons who could not do this,
owing to the unequal strength of
their eyes. Strange to say, the
Chinese assign the place of honor to
| the left.
At kunyenye, in Africa, Cameron
relates being introduced to the heir
presumptive to the throne. the nails
| OF whose left hand had been allowed

never was required to do manual la
