SPECULATION VS.. THRIFT.

chicago News: AS an Xemp1ar of
the destiny of those who embrace
'get-rlch-quick' schemes and scorn
the old-fashioned methods of industry
thrift n Frank G. Andrews of
Detroft cannot be said to have spent
his life in vain. Mr.. Andrews is a
young man who arrived in Detroit a
few years age with a capital Of SLIPS.
By dint of nerve and %quickness in tax
ing advantage of opportunities he Sc
cured a foothold in the speculative
world and from that time on made
money rapidly, becoming a million
aire. Always a blatant advocate of
the lucky throw as opposed to caution.
sound methods and economy, he has
done what he could to imperil the
general prosperity of the public.
Having been lucky, Andrews, like
other young Napoleons of finance"
seems to have concluded that he was
lnvincible. He invented several
maxims which probably he, himself be-
lived at the time. He openly approx
ed speculation and declared that hu-
man life is too short for the slow pro-
cesses OF thrift 1t vas his theory
that mo man should work after he
is 49, and he believed that all his
good fortune came as "the result Of
taking chances" He found success
consisted Sin an indomitable faith in
your own proposition" Probably his
philosophical view of gambling SEEM
ed correct at the time. His boastful
sayings doubtless in no way o%verstatcd
his faith in himself.
That he should have dipped into
speculation once too often and brought
himself into a predicament in which
not even his "indomitable faith could
save him was inevitable. He has sue
e in wiping out his fortune in Il
hurry. Not being an Garner or a say
er, but having been trained through
out his life to the idea of getting mon
ey without labor, it is not surprising
that he should have embezzled funds
intrusted to his keeping. From the
bank of which he was vice president
he took $1,000, 900. leaving absolutely
no security. His fortune is gone and
so is his credit. Any clerk who man.
age to set aside 81 of his earnings
weekly is now better off than the
erstwhile rich and boastful Spectator.
Youths who may be tempted into spec
ulation would do we'll to note his ex-
ample.

\ Takes In Horse Show In New York and
Creates a Sensation.
Carrie Nation created sensation at
the horse show in New York City
Thursday. She harangued the great
gathering on the evils of overdress,
attempted to break bottle of cham

quietly and took seat in the tier She
had been there only few minutes
when her gaze rested on the box where
some mem bers of Vanderbilt family
were sitting. She studied her pro-
gramme and then descended to the
promenade. Stationing herself in
front of the Vanderbilt box, she de-
livered TRADE on overdress. In the
box were seated Mrs. Alfred G. Wand
erbilt, Reginald Vanderbilt aud Miss
Nicholson. Alfred c. Vanderbilt was
leaning against the rail of the prom
enade and did not see Mrs. Nation APP
proach.
"You ought to be ashamed of your
selves!" the woman screamed at them.
You ought to be ashamed to wear
such disgraceful clothes. Take them
off; take them off, and attire your
selves more modestlyl"
Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail, came over to where
Mrs. Nation was standing, whispered
in her ear and pushed her
away. The outburst of the woman at
tracted crowd of people and the oc-
cupants of the Vanderbilt box were
evidently very much embarrassed.
Mrs. Nation then turned her atten-
ton to other boxes Finally she start
ed for the cafe, where she bore down
