the course of the market. Many per.
sons yield to the agents artful and per-
slstent solicitation. and conclude to fisk
little. In the course of few days
the man who has parted with hundred
dollars or more Is Informed that the
stock bought for his account has unex-
pcctedly fallen in prrce, and his money
Is lost AS Il matter of fact. the nves-
tor has been swindled. The scent and
the broker are IN collision. No stock
was either bought or sold. The broker
gave the agent certificate of purchase
and sale, To make the transaction look
regular and then the two thieves di-
vided the victims money. The stock
exchanges can sometimes discipline
such brokers. as they lately tried to do
but 1t is almost impossible to bring the
law to bear en- the advisers" and
agents" who are as adroit as they are
INSCRIPTIONS. The only way one can
get the better of them Is to let them
alone.

It Is doubtless true, as a writer In the
Atlantic Monthly points out. that the
reading world Is getting rather fastidl.
Gus In the matter of the villains 1t finds
In fiction. The rascal frequently fig.
ured as the hero In the fiction of an
earlier day, ana the Robin Hoods and
other pleasantly impudent knights Of
the road had long popularity. Thanks
to IAN improved cthicar standard, the
writer of the Atlantic article AYERS, the
modern author. however, Is expected
to make his heroic figures good as well
as great. II he makes u rascal heroic
and fasclnatingly accomplished he must
take pains to stamp him plainly as n
villain ana then kill him Off with be.
fitting pathos ana ignomlny In the last
chapter. II would be pleasant TO sup
pose that the disappearance of the he
role rascal Is due to finer ethical stand
ards" but unfortunately the elevated
literary world of much less desirable
characters. The old time self-confessed
rascal was pretty bad, no doubt, and
should not have been left around the
library where boys of venturesome
spirit could learn to admire him. But
1t is exceedingly doubtful II he has no,
made way for n much more disreputa-
be and shabby parsonage. The SNUG,
| sclf-sutiiclent, dlstressingly punctilious
men ana women who have appeared In
some of the recent problem novels
and in the so-callcd historical romances
are much the worst rascals in all fic.
ton. Compared with them, Iago Is an
honest man and gentleman of sensi-
tive honor. These are the men and
women who strain at gnat on ques.
tons of abstract principle and swallow
a whole camel In the matter of bad
conduct; who pose as persons of deli
cate scruples and find their scruples
getting in the way of common honesty;
who indulge In strange sOphlstries and
by n Hall Caine-like inversion of logic
arrive ut the conclusion that in many
cases 1t would be wrong to be right
and right to be wrong, ana therefore
quite sanity to be piously wicked all
the time. The punctilious rascal in the
cheap problem novel, the mock-humble
person who narrates the story of his
past life In the historical romance and
the unreal hero of the ordinary trashy
yarn are certainly not so entertaining
as the debonair highwayman of earlier
days, and in vast majority of cases
they are much worse morally. AS q
general thing the smugger and nicei
they are the more depraving is their
| example.

Probably no other article of daily
food has been so frequent disturber OF
the household peace as pie. So admir-

dangerous are those Of bad pie that Il
