Here is hard luck story apropos OF
efforts to make a little sum in Wall
street: A young man started with 500
and ran it up to $1,000, or $40 less than
an even $4,000. The desire to round
out the $4,000 goaded him on. He
said to his broker, IF can make that
additional $40 ON quick turn | wi
draw out my $4,000 and invest it
real estate" It was strong bull mai
ket, but things appeared sky high. an
he picked out an active stock to sell
short. / think he landed on T. G. and
l., which had a phenomenal rise and
was due to drop anywhere from 10 to
80 points. He sold 100 shares at par,
intending to close it out at SO. But
instead of going down the blamed
thing scared to 1926 At every three
points gain he sold another 100 until
he was carrying all he could tote. In
"a hours he lost nearly every cent 1t
had taken him three months to make
With what little he had left he bought
T. /. on the recession to 116, friends of
the Hanover National bank assuring
him that it was going to $50. Then
came the fireworks and the funeral
The bottom fell out of the speciality
and young DR.. Knowall found himself
$4,000 in debt He hasn't been in
Wall street since.-New York Press.

uer Grievance.

Distressed by her cooks frequent
complaints Of toothache, q mistress OF
the upper west side decided few
days ago that 1t was time to recon-
mend heroic remedies.
Hannah, there is no use putting 1t
Off any longer. There is DR.. Jones over
there. He promises to extract teeth
without pain. Why don't you see him
and have it over with?"
Hannah scarcely relished the sug-
gestion, but after another nights suf-
fering sorrowtuNy announced, "'Deed,
/ kin Jess stand dis no longah," and
asked permission to go to DIR. Jones.
Her mistress rejoiced In the thought
that the agony was at last to be end
ed. When an hour later, however, she
beheld Hannah march down the area
way steps, the whites of her eyes fash
ing and her head bobbing with We
hemence born Of righteous fury, visions
not only of lost molars, but of a de-
parting cook came before her. She en-
tered with the dignity Of an insulted
African queen.
Anything wrong, Hannah? Didn't

mistress.

Fun Has q valuable side.

"Ehow me q man who does not
appreciate humor," said John Kendrick
Bangs to me, land 1 will show you
a man who Is morbid, cynical, I'M
responsive to every call Of nature.
Such a man is worse than a pessimist
and more to be pitied. Take some of
the greatest and most successful men
In the world. Humor has always play
ed an important part in their lives.
Often q funny incident has marked
the turning point Of a great mans
career. Often some ridiculous con-
dition has been the impetus Of new
start In life"
Mr.. Bangs is right Did not Colum-
bus apparently hopeless task Of stand
ing an egg on end make thinkers OF
the wise men who sat around him?

cause he once saw boy punished for

Gutenberg invent the printing press

The many thousands of miles which
q man unconsciously travels in his life
time, taking into consideration the
PAGES his footsteps measure as he
walks about each day, are enough to
make him sit down to rest for the re-
mainder of his life.
But now q German scientist has
come forward with some still more
startling facts concerning the journeys
which our eyelid undertakes every
time it winks, and it is not possible for
us to see, he says, unless we wink.
Unconsciously we wink once second,
SO that for the time we are awake dur
ing the day we voluntarily wink from
$4,000 to $4,000 times and in year
have moved our eyelids down and up
again no less than 18,250000 times.
The distance that the eyelid travels in
Its great speed Is measured from a sin
gle Involuntary wink.
This, the scientist says, is quarter
Of an inch both ways, the eyelid NOV
ing equally up and down, SO that, TAX
ing the movement of both eyelids into
consideration, they cover some $4,000
inches in a day. The eyeids Of man
who has lived for 30 yeass will have
unconsciously travelled third of the
way around the earth, or about 1920
miles, calculation sufficient in itself
to cause the victim Of insomnia to fall
into dreamless sleep as he reads it.

She Waited.

Even a Scotchman cannot always be
humorous, if he would. Like other
people, however, he is sometimes
funny without meaning to be. The
Scottish-American thinks that the
message sent by a young man in
Peeblesshire to his waiting bride may
have kept her from worrying over his
nonappearance, but that she must after
all have received it with mixed feel
ings.
The bride elect lived in village some
distance from the home Of William, the
bridegroom. The wedding was to be at
her home. On the eventful day the
young man started for the station, but
on the way met the village grocer, who
talked SO entertainingly that William
missed his train.
Naturally he was In what is known
as state of mind" Something must
be done and done at once. So he sent
the following telegram:
Don't marry till come. WILLIAM
If the bride elect knew her William,
she probably knew how he felt when he
sent the message and forgave the men,
tai confusion which resulted in what
she must have looked upon as q need

THE State Prison doors have at last
closed on the participants in the Paterson
horror. and they have begun weary life
of solitude and toll with ample opportun-
ity to reflect upon their evil ways and with
possible chance of becoming better men.
They received the full extent of the law.
anything else would have been mockery.
There were the usual petitions for clemen-
cy, and the pleas of counsel for light SEN
tence owing to the previous good character
of the criminals were not wanting. But
Judge Dixon very wisely remarked that he
was not dealing with their past life, he
proposd to sentence them for the crime
they had committed. Before the words
announcing the courts decree had fairly
died away, there was talk of possible par
don,< But the Court of Pardons of New
Jersey has not yet made reputation by
liberating before the expiration of their
term of imprisonment criminals convict
ed of such crime as that of the Paterson
fiends.

SEVERAL years ago Thomas F. Fitz-
gerald, one of the brightest newspaper
men in Trenton, achieved the idea of
compiling legislative manual, book OF
valuable information that gave promise
of being an indispensable addition to the
library of all who have occasion to keep
in touch with state affairs. AS the years
came on the book increased in size and in
value The latest edition just sent out is
as different from the first book as is day
from night, yet the original issue was
thought to be perfect. The original idea
of Mr.. Fitzgerald was probably to issue a
useful work, at the same time increasing
his yearly income. Now the latter con-
sideration seems to be secondary Cor
rectness is the first idea and the manual has
reached such perfection that it is accept
ed as an authority on all points which it
touches. It is now part of the life OF
the man who has devoted much time and
attention to its publishing.

Faithful Shepherd Dogs.

A cold spell in Montana killed q
sheep herder in the Great Falls dis
trict Two feet of snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer
indicated 40 degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on
the prairies while caring fer the sheep,
and it was three days before his fate
was known to his employers. Two
shepherd dogs were with him when he
died, and one Of these staid with his
body while the other attended to the
sheep, just as though the herder had
been with him. The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and
back again at night, guarding them
from wolves and preventing them from
straying off. Neither dog had any
thing to eat during the three days
vigil, so far as could be ascertained,
but the $500 sheep thrived as well APP
parently as though directed by human
agency. The singular fact about the
matter is that these faithful creatures
would have starved to death rather
than harm one of the sheep left In
their charge.-Portland Oregonian.
