wnlI Street wrecks.

"Wall street leaves an ineflaceable
stamp upon a man." said New York
lawyer the other day. 1T isn't so ap-
parent when he is on the crest of the
wave, for he spends his money freely,
and no one questions his means of get
ting il. But when he goes broke, He
is absolutely untitled for getting on his
feet unless he can do it In a day. He
has been accustomed TO seeing fortunes
won and lost in few hours. and he
can't see why fortune will not knock
at the same door twice.
Il know a man who went broke in n
crash six years ago. He is good bust
ness man when not imbued with the
fever of speculation. He could obtain
a good position at $1,000 year. But
he would have TO work and work hard
to earn his salary. So he is looking
for easy money'-to make his million
in a year; consequently he has bor-
rowed from his relatives until they are
tired of him. They want him TO go to
work, but doubt whether he will view
the matter in the light they do until it
is too late and the last golden opportu-
nifty has slipped away from him and
left him a speculative and misanthrop-
ic wreck. New York Press.

In his life of Bret Harte" Mr.. T.
Edgar Pemberton recalls story which
turns on the typical westerner's gift
for humorous understatements. In the
authors early days in California he
spent night in an inn, newly opened
After he had got comfortably to bed
he was aroused by the noise of scuf
fling and shouting, punctuated by oe-
casional pistol shots below.
In the morning, on going downstairs
he found the landlord with a bruised
eye, a piece of court plaster extending
from his cheek to his forehead and YET
with pleasant smile on his face. TAX
ing his cue from this, Harte said
"Well, landlord, you had rather live
ly time here last night"
Yes admitted the landlord. with 4
deepening smile. 1T was rather a live
ly time"
do you often have such lively times
round here" continued Harte, emboIi
ened by the landlords cheerfulness.
'Well. no." the landlord replied re
fiectively. 1.-THE fact is, we've only JUS
opened yer, and last night was the frs
time the boys seemed to be getting
really acquainted"

Dear AUNT Madge:
suppose it is sometimes possible for you to
procure ripe, incurred figs in the Ellsworth mar
ket-if not am sorry for you II you should
happen to find any at any time, let me tell you
how to prepare them.
Peel and beat them into jam, sugar to taste,
set ON ice for while, then serve as dessert, and
your mouth viii wabbls yum, yum, yum.
Yours truly, SUSAN.
/ think, dear s'Susan", that must be a
delicious dish, and | hope some of our
down east readers will be able to try it,
but said; Oh SusanI sitting under your
own vine and fg-tree, in that cline of
ripening fruit, do you realize that with us
the mercury is falling, falling gradually
day by day That already the frost occa-
sionally glistens in the early morning
sunlight and that fields are brown and
bare? But / thank you heartily for the
letter. Come again. AUNT MADGE
