Bereft of his and TAIL
veteran charger staunch and bold.
He has weathered life's fercest gale.
The hero of many gallant raid
In many bloodless war; ..
A soldier of fortune, undismayed
BY battle and wound and scar!
Meath the guiding touch of little hand
He has travelled many mile
Through the wonderful realms of "Playlike Land"
Where the spirits of Fancy smile.
And many tale his lips could tell
OF journeys to lands afar,
Where beautiful maids enchanted dwell
And giants keep lock and bar! r.s.-
But strange to say. in his boldest fight.
Though he halted rested not
Through all his travels by day and night
He has stood in the self same spot!
He ridden far, he ridden hard;
He has borne fierce taunts and blows
And oft has felt sweet reward,
kiss on his worn-out nose.
And though he is rather the for wear.
And is crippled and SCARED and old,
In the eyes Of his master he still is fair
And worth all his weight in gold

NEW YORK. March 21,--By refus-
ing to break their word Of honor half
dozen men lost the chance of making
millions OF dollars in an hour of
trenzied Wall Street speculation.
This story. which has been sworn
10 in a series of attidaVts, may sound
20 the initiated more like product OF
persian imagination than a matter OF
fact account Of a business transaction
in New lork Clty.
II appears. however, that during the
psnir in Wall Street on May .. of last
year when Northern Pacific stock was
corncred and forced up 20 $500 share
.o0 900 shares were held by James j..
mn Lord Strathrona, Lord Mount
.aeuhen and John Is. Kennedy.
These men just before the panic had
given their word to J. Pierpont Nor
gan that they would not sell their
stock. 4 rival corporation was seeking
to oust MIR Morgan from the control
of the Northern Pacific. and II Mr..
Hiu and his three friends had soid
all or a moderate proportion OF tnelr
stock. it would have succeeded in its
purpose.
The situation thus stood as follows:
70 sell ,aeir stock meant to get for II
at least part oi it seven times its par
value; to hold their stock meant to
lose millions of dollars and to Yke
their promise 20 Morgan.
In spite of lhe tremendous induce
ment the four men kept both OF theii
promlse and their stock. Several Lon
don financiers held $2,0OO,oO0 worth o
Northern Pacific stock. but they, TOO
had passed their word, and refused u
sell, although they were offered $l4,
00O. 600 for their holdings.
The difference between yes and n
meant to them $12,000,00O In cor
cash.

TOPEKA. Kans., March 2f.-Mayor
farker of this town Is confronted with
a perplexing problem. Yesterday
| morning he sent for the Chief OF Po-
lice and told him to arrest the keeper
OF every joint and saloon found doing
business after one o'clock. This hour
was fixed Tor the forty-five saloons to
close.
Promptly at one o'clock every
saloonkeeper closed his place. but in
Just one hour they opened again and
ala land-office business up to last
midnight
The morning papers here heralded
the reopening of Topeka's saloons,
which was an incentive to a half dozen
ministers to charge Mayor Parker with
insincerity. The Reverend Doctor Nc
Farland OF the First Methodist EpIs-
copal Church led off In the attack up
on the mayor. charging that 1t was
the policy Of the city administration
To license saloons. and that the feint
Of closing them was q deception.
In an interview this morning Mayor
Parker said that the ministers and
others who are attacking him really
pay none OF the city's taxes and con-
tribute nothing to the city's revenues.
He said he would proceed again to-
morrow against every saloon In To-
peka and give the people dry

Mayor Parker is the second Demo-
cratic mayor In sixteen years, Much
