Wives and Husbands.

Going down town the other morning
spied just opposite pretty little woman.
She was enjoying an animated CONVERSE
ton with her neighbor, one of the brethren,
who seemed to find an equal amount Of
pleasure in the society of his fair friend.
Their gay interchanges thought were in
terrupted by Il third party, who had stopped
outside for minute, and who proved to be
the husband of the lady. What did he dor
Join in the chatp No, indeed; he pushed
his way into the seat between the couple,
and after settling himself to his entire sat
isfaction, half turned his back upon the
woman and drifted into conversation with
his friend
Everything was discussed, from politics
to the latest play. Again and again the
gentleman friend attempted to include the
poor wife in the talk, but monsieur would
have none of it. Left to themselves lit
tie later on, he fell to reading his paper and
she stared out of the window. From the
sweet face all life and animation had fled,
and she sat, this woman who but little
while before had shown so much cheerful
ness, sad, depressed being, thought and
feeling paralyzed by the man at her side.
| overheard a young woman say to her
companion upon recent occasions II can
pick out in twinkling every married
couple in this car The men read and the
women gaze into space" and she punctu-
ated the remark with hearty laugh.
A sad commentary this, but the girl was
right. | notice, however, that the women
try to keep up semblance Of interest, If
only for appearances sake-a woman will
do so much to keep up apprenticeship

About the middle of the last century,

were ignorant of its nature. They

dominion of scientific laws which ap-

EASTERN INVESTORS IN THE WEST.

In his very entertaining article in the
Business Relations in the West" Mr.
Charles S. Gleed relates an anecdote of
the late Jay Gould which fairly Illus
trates the methods by which the stock
jobbers and corporation mongers of the
east have obtained their great foothold
west of the Allegheny mountains. An
eminent ex-Chief justice OF one OF the
western states once put before Mr.. Gould
business plan. Air. Gould listened in
tently and intcrposed no discouraging
remarks. When the lawyer had no more
to say, Mr.. Gould remarked briefly that
he could not cooperate with him.
(Which do you doubt, my words or my
fngers?" queried the astonished lawyer.
Neither" answered Mr.. Gould. con
the contrary. L think you have outlined
most excellent, conservative business
scheme. But such things are not
wanted in New York. If, instead of
showing a certainty of making fair
interest on a large investment, you
would show a probability of great
profits on a small investment, you would
have what will go here"
If in a single instance an eastern CAPT
talist has made a large investment in
western property expecting only such
returns as ordinary business brings to
the investor, nobody has ever heard of
1t. On the contrary, only 10y holding
out the hope Of extraordinary and even
returns upon small invest
ments have so-called eastern capitalists
been induced to embark in western en-
terprises.
The plain truth is that unless the west
finds a way to wiring the water out of
the stocks and squeeze the fraudulent
bond into proportions representative of
actual investment, III few years more
these eastern capitalists, so-called, will
swallow the great west bodily.
