desk at one end there came a great
rappiDg with a gavel.
The first business was au announcement.
1t was that the firm of X. & Co. had sus-
pended for the second time In three years.
Somebody, probably personal enemy OF
X, started to cheer, but was suppressed.
Then the business of the morning be
gan. To a high signboard, whore the
sugar stocks were displayed, there came
out n certain small figure. think it
was Ill "a. That meant that sugar had
gone up. There was a rush towards that
desk and the men hustled each other to
get to 1t quickest. Another figure went
up. Sugar was still rising. queer wave
passed through the room. Men lowered
their chins in their coats and, raising g
their fingers ran towards the sugar desk
with a determined look in their faces and
began to buy. Sugar was going up-up.
But no it wasn't. Somebody was bear
ing the market and selling out fast. The
figures came down again and the men
stepped away, some looking pleased and
some looking quite crestfalleu. II was
very odd to see them. They might nave
been creatures living upon another planet,
with different Interests, SO little did they
seem like the men whom one meets bowing
and smiling upon the street.
The rising OF the price OF sugar was
caused, n visitor told me, by the bulls
who We're buying up so as to make sugar
scarce. This would raise the price quickly
according to the law OF supply and demand
Blta as so IN as the bears-those who wouldn't
let it go up-began selling, the prices wen
down again. The bIl's We're much disap
pointed by this loss OF their chance to make
a fortune. There is no way Of making II
quicker than by n successful bull.
BOYS IN THE KNOW
During this time the messengers OF the
exchange were running wildly here and
there. Their business is TO take MESA ges
from the floor of the Stock Exchange out
into Wall street to the office OF their broker,
In the broker's office there sit many people
with money to invest, and the people buy
and sell according 10 advice taken by the
mcssengers. A ticker tells the exact
state OF the market, bat the man the Stock
Exchange likes to send his own private
information by n messenger boy. He VIII

There was minutes work with an erasure,
and the figures 1O2 had gone up to 1O4.
Another wild onslaught was made. Again

But he had found the brokers side and was
whispering to him. Other messages from
other boys came pouring in. For minute
1t seemed as if my broker was a magnet
round which all things drew. He was hid

AS quick as he had bought he sold. Ny
stock, which bad bought at 1O2, he sold
for 119, and on every share made SIT.

GOOD GUNS FOR MILITIA.

furnish the National Guard of the various
States with Springfield rifles OF 45-ralinre
III exchange for any other type of rifle
now in use, has been referred to the War
Department for an opinion as to merits.
- Assistant Secretary Doe, who is in charge
Of militia matters and thoroughly expert
eilced in them, has, after careful consider
alton. given the bill strong Endorsement,
but has suggested that 1t would be og esen
greater benefit to the militia if its pro-
visions were extended so as to authorize
the exchange of the new Springfield rifles
OF 45-calibre for arms of the same ma Ike
and calibre already in the possession Of
the militia, but which have become Worn
out and useless as a result OF long con-
tiIued use. Under the bill as it stands
it would have been impossible to exchange
the old Springfield rifles held by the militia
for new ones, as the exchange is confined
to arms Of other make.
According to Gen. Doe, a good gun is a
desideratum to miltiamen and the govern
ment should see that they are all properly
equipped in that respect. In view of the
main purposes of the bill, it is believed
that it will be amended SO as to meet the
point raised by the military authorities.

Upon the floor OF the stock exchange
stood my broker. He is a tall slender
man, one of the many who owns seats
there. His name is well known in the
commercial circles of the whole country,
but I'm not going to tell it.
Before l went up to the visitors gal
lery said 10 him: II may want to buy
something today But I've got only $40"
That's enough said he, "if you buy
right. And If You buy wrong it's more
than enough. You've never bought be-
fore, have you?"
NO, and 1 want straight tip now.
You told me once If i ever wanted TO
dabble in stocks, you'd give me chance
I'm dabbling now -toethe extent Of $3O."
''rll hire You a messenger" said he,
land you keep your eyes open, listen
TO what You hear; belieye all you see, and
speak, when You do speak, as fast as
though Your house were ON fire. That's
the secret of buying on the Street.

help 'tiiBking how different things are
now In this great money center from what
they were years ago. Then Wall street
was Walled street." and only the few
millionaires who had paid fortune for
a seat could be present at the buying and
selling. People who had money TO iu-
vest were at the mercy of the brokers,
tfckers were unknown, and for an ear at
the key-hole men daily offered thousands,
in commissions and in information. Wall
street was a monopoly worse than the
tightese trust ever conceived. As 1t is
now Wall street belongs to me as well
as TO Mr. HavcmeSef.. But mat isn't what
started to tel, about getting rich in a
day.

how things are managed at the Stock Ex-
changer
"Yes, do" said 1, sbut will you tell me
how you knew enough to buy Just at that
miDute?"
"That's simple" said he. "The boy that
took the message for you-and me-fs a
brother to the lad who is in G's office.
He knows when theresssa big deal on and
he winks' his knowledge to his brother.
The lads haven't a reali right to do 1t, but
you can't help 1t, and, the offices allow IL
in a way because there's no preventing 1t.
And it would be against the boys own In
terest to tell. They know those boys
couldn't wear the jewelfy they do unless
they acted upon their knowledge for few
stocks for themselves Iftold this boy you
wanted to see Wall street at its best and he
made little money for yUu.''
''Will you send for ME some Black
Friday?"
'.Yes, If there is time to get a message
to you. Black Fridays are not planned,
| and it's sad sight. Men with brains
to keep up the interests of the country
are overwhelmed by the tide against them:
They can't sell and SO they can't pay, and
one knocks down another like a row or
tcnpins before n swift ball.
THE Wall Street fever is easy catching.
There's woman with green veil WHO
comes down every day and never goes
home a loser; and then there's a we'll
dressed man commissioning as John Win
gate, an assumed name, VINO brings down
roll every day and has never gone home
with penny. He's a son OF great Eouse
with an allowance. His ambition Is
greater than his BRAINS
rs it gambling? - d.:
mo more than the buying and selling
of anything else. People are fond OF
calling capitalists gamblers. But it's
case of sour grapes. You've had your
taste OF Wall street and know its successes.
Now come back tomorrow and lose your
money by tip as straight as the one that
made It for you. Then you'll see that
there's brains behind it as well as a straight
tip"
