NO cam FOR SURPRISE.

| 1t is said that there is stir of sur
cause the Shipping trust syndicate Is
going to get for its services in guaran-
teeing the sale of s5O,000000 bonds al
bonus of $25.0O0,000 common stock and
81 500O 600 preferred stock. OF course
London is q big city, and there are
financiers there who know how to make
an honest dollar, but they shouldn't he
surprised because United States flnar
ciers; know how to make more honest
dolla's than they do. The United
STAR; Steel syndicate operation is re-
fcrreG to for their instruction and en-
shares of new preferred, and the same
amount of new common stock (market
value of both about $S4, ,00O) We're
given to the underwriters for a $25000,
900 cash contribution, which was ex
pected to be returned. and a general
guarantee of a fotation plan as a
whole. Ii is also pointed out that the
syndicate underwriting the new $780,
000 900 bond issue os the Steel corpora
ton, which gets $10,O0OO00 cash for its
services, without much probability of
being called on heavily to subscribe for
the bonds or exchange preferred stock
for bonds, is really better paid than the
Shipping trust syndicate.
Perhaps the Shipping trust syndicate
wont make as much in proportion as
the Steel syndicate did. but it will
doubtless be able to do pretty well for
itself These are great times and the
financers of the United States of
America are the greatest.

When in the halcyon days of old | was a
little tyke,
| used to FISH in pickerel ponds Tor mlnhoWs
and the like
And oh, the bitter sadness with whlch my
soul was fraugnt
When | rambled home at nightfall with the
puny string I'd caught;
And oh, the indignation and the valof q
display =,
caught had got away.
Sometimes it was the rusty hooks, some
times the fragile lines,
And many times the treacherous weeds
would foil my just designs,
But whether hooks or lines or weeds were
actually to blame,
| kept right on at losing all the monsters
Just the same.
| never lost little fish-yes, | am free to
say
1t always was the biggest fish | caught that
got away.
And so it was, when later on felt ambi-
tion pass
From calow minnows' joys to nobler greed
for pike and bass;
/ found ii quite convenient when the beau
ties wouldn't bite
And | returned all b00tless from the Watery
chase at night,
To feign Il CHEEKY aspect and recount in ac-
cents gay
How the biggest fish that had caught mad
somehow got away.
And really fish look bigger than they are
before they're caught
When the pole Is bent INTO bow and the
slender line Is taut,
When fellow feels his heart rise up like
doughnut in his throat
And he lunges in Il frenzy up and down the
leaky boat.
oh, you whove been a-tshlng will indorse
me when | say
That it always is the biggest fish you catch
that gets away.
IT'S even so in other things-yes, in our
greedy eyes
The biggest boon Is some elusive, never
captured prize;
We angle for The honors and the sweets of
human life
Like fishermen we brave the seas that roll
in endless strife;
And then at last, when all is done and we
are spent and gray,
We own the biggest fish we've caught are
those that got away.
| would not have 1t otherwise; It's better
there should be
Much bigger fish than have caught
aswimmlng in the sea;
For now some worthler one than | may
angle for that game,
May by his nrtS cnttce, entrap and compre-
bend the same
Which, having done, perchance he'll bless
the man who's proud to say
That the biggest fish he ever caught were
those that got away.

DANGAho Us no oRoss THEM.

| Many parents are sadly aware that II
is dangerous to cross their children
but Just how dangerous it may be has
, been revealed by a Chicago girl VINO,
having reached the ripe age of sixteen
naturally knows what is good for her
self better than her elders know what
is good for her. This girl reads novels
of the romantic kind, and when she
gets interested in one she is interested.
She had one that suited her the other
night and she was reading it with close
attention. When in her reading she
had reached the crisis in the love affairs
Of the heroine her grandfather per-
emptorily ordered her to turn out the
light. He objected to paying gas bill
for novel reading. The girl was too
absorbed in the thrilling story to heed
the old mans commands, and after a
reasonable wait he turned out her light
with his own hand. Interrupted at
such a moment, the girl was too IN
furiated to control her actions. Selling
the butcher knife, she attacked her
grandfather and he fled shouting for
help, while she pursued him with homi-
cidal fury Finally the police came and
carried the girl to the nearest station.
OF course the grandfather ought to
have known better than to interfere in
that way with the girl and doubtless
the court will show him that times are
not what they were when he was boy,
and had to mind. A girl who likes to
read romantic novels doesn't want any
old fogy interfering with her pleasure.

A pretty actress was before one of the
New York courts the other day on the
charge of being an unfit person to have
the care of her child. One of the items
of evidence put in by the prosecution
was a someW nat risky photograph OF
the actress, but the judge disposed of it
by observing that, while the photograph
was certainly outre and something that
no delicate minded woman in private
life would permit, the fact was to be
borne in mind that the profession fol-
lowed by the young woman was of
character that made such photographs
more excusable than would otherwise
be the case No doubt, said the learn
ed judge, the motive in this instance
was nothing worse than that which in
