the Newspaper Men.
The newspaper men in the street have
lost a warm friend in Flower says the
Now York Press. In the last year and a
half he made a dozen or more richer than

months before Christmas they were wont
to congregate to learn the financial news
of the day, the trend OF the market, etc
He or some other member of his firm would
walk around the room, saying, "Wcll, boys
we are going to put Federal Steel up about
six points today" Then, after a few min
utes of general chat he would continue:
Joe how much do you want? Can you
stand 100 shares" Joe says he can, and
the order Is booked. Charlie, want a hun

Small Captive.

GARNERVlLLE, N. Y, June 1.-Marion

from her parents, Arthur Clark and wife
of New York, on May 81, was discovered two

summer
Mrs. Wilson said that she had made ar
rangements with her husband to send all
correspondence to her by way OF the st.

Sloatsburg. Mrs. Wilson has called at the
St. Johns postofflce a number of times dur
ing the last few days.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Wilson went to
the postoffice taking Marion with her, as
she had done on several occasions before.
The Clark baby attracted the country peo-
pie by her appearance, her large blue eyes
and pink complexion being particularly
noticeable.
The curiosity which the child aroused
made her captors grow uneasy and they
kept her closely confined at the Youmans'
home. As soon as the notices OF the alb
duction reached the neighborhood, the peo-
pie began to suspect that the child was
Marion Clark. They felt positive OF it
because the child wore the same clothes
as at the time when she was stolen.

as to the whereabouts OF the child. At this
Mrs. Wilson weakened and made confess
sion. The baby was then produced, but the
sheriff took both prisoner and child to Magis-
trate Herbert at West Haverstraw
Mrs. Wilson refuses to make full state
ment.
