Wall street appears to be enjoying
itself once more. 1t has put off it's
sackcloth and ashes of a short time ago
and donned it's best bib and tucker, and
also has put on considerable of its war
paint and sailed forth for the slaughter
of the lambs again. All was pitch
darkness very few short weeks ago.
Now the Wall street sun is shining re-

scarce, the absence Of superiority is all

everything looked as if it was going to

in the bull arguments, for has not the
market great back log in it's billion
dollar corn crop and the glut of bust

West prosperous as never before? Is
not the western farmer waxing fat and

sheer joyousness? Truly so. Prosper
ity is in the air, capital is in the biggest
kind of demand, industries flourish and
the recession of the tidal wave in bust
ness is not yet.

his own view as to what ought to be

whereby all towns should be accorded
at least one representative with an ad-

Our city may felicitate itself over its
freedom from Ills and evils that beset
some of the great cities. We have neith-
er the aggravated aggregate of the
excessively poor nor the vast budding
into narrow quarters in tenement houses
that are the accompaniment of vast
populations. We have well organized
associations for charitable purposes
that can and do reach out and relieve
want and woe to a great extent. We
have had this winter surprisingly few
people apply for pecuniary help and
coal compared with expectations on this
subject in view of the coal scarcity. We
have active and efficient sanitary
boards that are on the alert to weed out
menaces to the public health and we
have not like the great cities vast san
itary work to do. We have plenty of
fresh bracing air that comes from the
fields and woodlands and mountains on
the one hand and the big sea water"
on the other. We have salutary laws
and exemplary law givers interrupted
and undefled. We have both vigorous
and an honest police force one that is
not in league with evil doors. We have

The profit-sharing or stock dist ribut-
ing plan of the Illinois Central rail-
road has not been particularly success
full. In other words, it is not being
availed Of generally by employees. 1t
was instituted in 1898, and in 1898 only
$50 employees had taken stock, and then
only to the extent of $500 shares alto
gether, or an average of a little over
three shares per man. Since 1898 the
annual report of the road has ceased
saying anything about the experiment,
which would indicate that stock pur-
chases by employees have not been in
creasing greatly. Reports concerning
the United States Steel company's plan
are that it is already meeting with
marked success.

with servants. I find the servants usu-
ally are not at fault. There are iso-
lated cases of lazy and dishonest girls,
but most of the foreign servants, espe-
cially those of Germany, are industrious
and faithful. Good servants win not
stay with an exacting and cruel en-

Usually a good servant will not stay

treat the maid as if she were human"

married Miss May Goelet there is not a
single wearer of the strawberry leaves
left upon the matrimonial market. The
young Marquis of Butte is the next in
rank of unmarried and unengaged BACH

his choice of a bride is naturally some
what restricted. Lord Hardwick and
Lord Granard are a couple of unmar-

affords another instance of a great and

heirs to two great dukedoms are still
unmarried. These are Lord Percy. son
of the present Duke of Northumber-
