Concerning the recent furry in the
Southern Railway stock, the New York
World said: There is little doubt, how
ever. that J. p. Morgan & Co. were forced
to buy a large amount of Southern Rail
way stock in order to prevent the con-
troll from passing into other hands. II
is not believed, however, that any fac
ton sought to dislodge the Morgan inter
ests, although early in the day it was
reported that the Rothschilds, piqued al
the loss of their great railroad system
and believing that J. P. Morgan had per-
haps had some interest in the PURCHASE
ordered their brokers through August
Belmont to attempt to purchase control
OF Southern Railway in the open mar
ket. This report stimulated the rise
which the public augmented by its heavy
rlunging. The story could not be con
frmed, but it has the merit of plausi-
bility."
The New York Journal evidently thinks
the control of the Southern was in dan
ger of being lost. 1t says:
1.-THE logic of the situation was that
the Southern Railway would have beer
shut out of its through connection tc

Gates people. The two roads, it is felt
should be worked tremendously, because
they are of national financial Importance
1.-The president of the Southern Rail
way, Samuel Spencer had not been prop
erly advised when, at 10 o'clock he gave
out the dictum: The Southern Railway
will never have ANYTHING to do with the

The turkeys became drunk-so

were dead. In order TO realize as

dead turkeys, she had them picked
so as to get the feathers, and the
caTcasses were thrown outdoors.
The next morning Miss Blake was
surprised to see her turkeys walking

It's only a small matter, and if l
could get hold of some one in author

The man next tried writing let
ter, but it remained unanswered, so
he went back in person. BY this time
he had become interested as well as
indignant. He wanted to see how
much time and labor it would take
to get the money.
On the second trip luck favored
him. WOrkmen were changing some
office partitions, and he managed TO
slip through when no one was look
ing and get hold of a man at one of
the desks.
How about it?" he asked, when
he had stated his business.
Everything here" replied the man
at the desk, "is done according to a
system. Now, if anything is due you,
you should make out a bill in regular
form and"
Make out q bill" cried the anna

However, that seemed to be the
only thing left for him to do, so he
departed to make out a bill; and
while he was doing il he kept getting
warmer and warmer, until he reached
a point where he made the bill for
services rendered, S157." Then he
returned to the Office and gave it to
the first boy he met.

he said to himself.

Stories of the red tape in the gov

only places where delays in the

There are concerns in every large

il may Il sc a week or so 10 untangle

of them not IoLg ago.
The concern owed him a little
money AM after waiting awhile for

the boy told him that all such ac-
counts were paid Saturdays at the
cashiers office. So the man came
back Saturday.

said the cashier. You'll have to get

Then the man started out after the
order and promptly ran up against
the boy again.

"and I'll take it in to Mr.. Smith"
The man did as he was told, and
