ing, when O'Brien was arrested for
disordcrly conduct. II is alleged that
O'Brien has ar income Of $4,000 q
year. For many months he has sup
ported about thirty tramps and vaga.
bonds. Stories are going the rounds
that O'Brien has been known to spend
as much as $500 in one day OF liquor
and other extravagance5 for himself
and his following.
According to the police, O'Brien was
born twenty-five years ago in Nash
vile, Tenn, where his father, a very
wealthy furniture dealer, had large
landed interests. Six years ago the
father died and his widow soo fol-
lowed. The property, the exact value
OF which O'Erien refuses to divulgc,
fell TO him. The boy, then l6 years
old, entered upon a career OF fast liv-
ing and large sums are aid to have
been'spent for liquor for himself and
friends.
A few days ago he is said to have re-
ceived $40, O0o from his income, which
he proceeded to spend in the usual
manner with his vdgabond friends.
Thursday he was robbed Of 5000, al
that remained. When he discovered
that he had no more money O'Brier
became crazed. At Harrison and State
streets he broke one Of the windows
of u cable car. Detective Wagner ar
rested him after a struggle. Mrs
Maggie Maggie was slightly injured by
the broken glass.

4 Good One on Mr.. blank.

The best April-fool Joke of recent
times was played on a Chicago commits
sion merchant a few years ago. Chi
cage commission merchants are not al
ways good natured and Mr.. Blank was
no exception to the rule. In fact. he
was unusually gruff, and was never
known to take a joke as such. That 10
probably the reason that he was a fav-
orite mark for the practical joker. On
March 81 One of his friends caused the
following ad to appear in the columns
Of a Chicago paper the following morn
ing:
Wanted-Fifty Maltese cats at once.
Highest prices paid. Bring them along.
Blank, Commission Merchant, S. Wa
ter street.
when Mr.. Blank arrived at his store
he was surprised to see a line Of boys
in front OF his store each with a cut
under his arm. When he learned what
II was all about he became a veritable
mailman. 1t was many weeks before
he recovered his composure.

The father had been out late i,o
night before, working on the books NJ
the Office" You know, and when no sat
down to breakfast with his wife and
Willie. rosy-cheeked, mischievous, and
lovable Willie. their only child, he was
not in good humor.
He found fault because the coffee
had cooled while breakfast was .ait-
ing for him). he grumbled because Ms
eggs were too hard boiled, and he m:de
his wife and child as miserable as lie
himself was.
The climax Of his ugliness was
reached when for some fancied sin Gil
Wiilie's part he rushed the boy into
the parlor and gave him n sound
thrashing.
When breakfast was resumed 1t was
eaten in silence except for the child's
half-choked sobs.
The father was sorry for what he had
done. He had a nervous temperament.
He did not stop to smoke his usual
morning pipe, but hurried away. Aa
he reached the door Willie came up 10
him with %upturned face and said:
willie wants to kiss papa. Willie
loves papa"
The fathers heart was tonched and
he regretted his actions. Riding down
town in the train he read in his morn
ing paper OF the death of a little boy
by being run over while at play by a
passing truck. He imagined the scene
and it was impressed upon his mind
Then his mind ran on with strange i'm

before he could tell his boy how much
he loved him. and how sorry he was 70.

or course there vas not one chance In

then! there was that one chance. The
idea soon developed into a presentimer,
that haunted him all day. He per,

DUN'S BUSINESS REVIEW.

flee 60 meet expenses all the caSon ii
the larger business does not come.
il is especially noteworthy that
prices of materials have varied quite
differently from prices of manufac-
turcd products, although In most cases
the advance last fall was commenced
by extraordinary uplifting of prices
for materials Thus, cotton In 2I.9
per rent higher than n year ago., but
cotton goods average only 1917 per
cent. Wool is about SO per cent
higher than u year ago, but wooden
goods are, ON the whole, about I per
cent lower. Pigiron is only Il per
cent higher than u year ago, while
finished. products OF iron and steel
average a. per ccnt higher. These
comparisons are important because
they disclose something of the grave
dis!ocatiou of prices which inadequate
consumption and combinations have
produced.
The market for wheat is weaker,
with no better reason than the Govern
mcnt report of wheat in farmers
hands, which is altogether out Of
keeping with the Government estimate
II year ago, and yet IL probably more
nearly correct.

WASHINGTON, March G.-According
to Il report on the organized militia OF
the United States, which has just
been prepared by the War department,
the United States, in need, can put
0,467, 1914 men in the field. At the close
of 1895, every State and territory, with
the exception OF Indian territory and
Alaska, had an organized national
guard. Total force of the militia num-
bers 1886 of which l02, GOA composed
the infantry, 5,2l5 the cavalry, 5,2G7
the artillery, Gt9 the special corps, and
there were LAB generals and staff
officers. The total appropriation al
lowed the militia amounted to $500, 900,
while the states during the same
period spent S2,s34,9 7h on these organ
izations. II is estimated that the
mobilization OF the militia could be
effected in the different states and
territories in from three hours in the
District OF Columbia to seventy.two
hours in Oregon, other state organiza-
tions assembling between these two
points.
New York is far in the lead of the
number OF men enlisted in the ma
tional guard, it's strength amounting
to l2,90l officers and men. Pennsyl-
vania is second with S,4s2, Ohio third
with o,4o3, Illinois fourth with Gee,
