shifted he luffed his Sails.
His Right Hand never knew what the
Left Hand was up to. One Evening he
would preside at an Endeavor Meeting
SO as to keep himself Strong with the
MilkDrinkers and the Early Closers.
Next Evening he would slip out and
Bombard the Alcohol in order to
square himself with the Saloon Keep

would mean his Ruin if the White
Ribboners ever caught him going into
a Life Saving Station, so when he
wanted to buy a short line of Fusel
Oil for the organized Hoboes he would
sneak up an Alley and crawl over the
Transom.
In order to get a better side-hold on
the untrammeled Voter, he Joined all

when the time came he could have the
Home Delegation under his Thumb. He
had heard that the Office should seek
the Man and not the Man the Office,
but he felt certain that when the Gov
ernorship came seeking him, it would
not have to carry a Search Light.
AS soon as the Hon. Trimmer had
got well started in Politics, he went to
a. Surgeon and had his Back-B Bone re-
moved. He had seen a lot of Spineless
Statesmen copper the big Lozenges
while the Stiff -Necks and the Bull
Heads would Fan Out when they came
before a Convention. He had read in
History that Clay and Calhoun and
Webster fell down on their High Ambi-
tions because they had too many Posi-
tive Convictions and sometimes rubbed
the kittenish Voter the wrong way OF
the Fur. The Hon. Mr.. Trimmer re-
solved TO be different from Clay and
Calhoun and Webster and II did not
come hard 10 him. He could have
been Different without trying.
He resolved never TO have Opinions

well-worn clothes and white shirt.
His particularly in the matter of linen
earned him the nickname of 'Old Boiled
Shirt" He was cleanly in his habits
and possessed refinements of speech
and manner that suggested an inter-
esting history; but of his past he could
never be persuaded to speak. One
part of it is certain; he was soldier
in the Civil War, for he drew pension
of $6 a month-boundless riches in his
community. Now that he is dead the
club threatens to disintegrate. This
would be a pity, as it's membership is
probably unique. 1t includes on its
roster a dealer in fake monsters for
dime museums barber" for an ana
tomical exposition:" the inventor and
peddler of an overnight cancer cure; a.
watcher for a crimps joint where sail
ors are Shanghaied; a compounder of
knockout drops" an instructor in the
gentle art of picking pockets, tat
tooer of indecent designs, and three
composers of blind mems begging
verses.
All the technical signs in Wall street
are those which usually precede
boom Most of them are little disap-
pointments. Everybody thought that
the announcement of the Northern Pa
cific-Great Northern settlement would
start a rise, but the rise was begun
in anticipation of this and a great
many of the traders meant to realize
the day after. Now it is a common
saying in Wall street that it is "al-
ways the unexpected that happens"
and 1t is true; and it isn't a. matter
of natural forces or of chance either.
Big manipulators used public expecta-
tions to carry out their speculative
plans. In this case they did not want
the rise to begin so soon; they meant
to check it before 1t had gone very far
in order not to strain the money mar
ket at this time. The public cannot
be got into movement of this sort
until the rise is we'll advanced, and
as a preliminary the people who have
been holding the stocks for long time
with paper losses to wear them out.
must be disappointed again, again and
again in order to be shaken out. 4"
Thus II came that with the announce
ment of the big news, the disappoint-
ment of a decline was planned. and.
