LegisIating Against the Fakes.

If a bill now pending before the Con- necticut legislature becomes a law 1t will be more difficult hereafter for fake mine promoters to unload their secur- ties In the Nutmeg state. It is DSo- posed to regulate transactions in the securities of any mining or oil com pany incorporated under the laws of any state or territory and forbid their being sold or offered for sale until a sworn statement is filed with the secre- tary of state giving complete record of the financial condition of the corpo- ration. the location of its property. the amount of work done and money expended in developing it, and the worth and condition of its plant.
 Of course, neither the proposed law nor any other measure that it is pos sible to devise would fully protect peo- pie who are determined to part with their money anyhow. That class of people will continue to give up their surplus cash to confidence men, no matter how many laws are enacted for their protection. But if every state had a law similar to the Connecticut measure there would be a considerable degree of protection for the investors who are disposed to make some inves- tigation before buying mining and oi! stocks. It must De admitted that the man who would deliberately misrapre- sent and sell worthless securities would readily swear to lies cor cernp- tra value of the stuff offered were there no danger involved, but ;he pena -ias of perjury would cause some of them to hesitate before filing sworn stare- ments which could be readily proved false. And such law would do some good in educating investors as to the necessity of making some sort of in- vestigation before buying the mining stocks which public spirited and be- nevolent strangers are constantly of- fering them.
 Arizona is. perhaps. more interested than any other state in the union in the crusade which is being made in some parts of the east against the fakers who sell worthless mining stock. Because of the ease with which cor porations are formed in this territory thousands of mining and oil companies have been incorporated, the capitaliza- tion reaching billions of dollars. Some of them purport to deal with Arizona properties. but quite as frequently mines elsewhere are exploited. In- variably, however. they are known as Arizona corporations, and when they fail to do as they agree this territory gets an undue share of unwelcome 
 In not an instance, so far as we have noted. has a citizen of Arizona been implicated in the numerous frauds which have been foisted upon the east ern people, but this is point which usually escapes the attention of the victims.

Old Age Pensions.
Edward

In the June Cosmopolitan. Edward Everett Hale makes an earnest plea for pensions for the aged.
 Simply speaking" he says, the payment of an old-age pension, say of hundred dollars each to every citizen. male or female, who has passed the age of seventy, does not in- volve a heavy burden to the state.
 Let us now consider for q moment the advantages which the state, as ali organization, would receive from such a system. As matters stand, the man. agers of asylums. whether for the poor or perhaps fr the blind, or insane, or other invalids, are always al their wits ends to know what they shall do with the aged people who are crowded upon them. The almshouses of towns and counties are filled in the same way
 Now. all these old people are better cared for in the homes Of old neigh bors. or old friends. very possibly of sons. or of daughters. who would re- ceive them and take charge of them humanely if they could receive a little ready money for the extra expense. As society organizes itself. a very little money goes a great way In the average itOuSSlOlO oi dll AIntTlcdN- l ne moment it appears that a grandfather or a grandmother has one hundred dollars a year to his good, that moment We shall find that the burden thrown upon the state and town in their asylums is reduced by larger proportion than by the charge made by the pensions upon the treasury. Thus the pension system has the great advantage that it main tains life In homes, and that it abates the necessity for great institutions or asylumG
 Dr. Hale should remember, however, that the American people will never accept, even by implication, the doc Urine that children and grandchildren should be paid for performing a plain filial duty. A pension of the kind sug- gested would put a premium upon ill., treatment to which many old people are subjected by their children.

deserving of their name. They fill the want

with big stone at one end.
In the domestic cretonnes number of
artistic patterns are shown, among them
an all-over poppy pattern, a tangle Of
graceful flowers and stems. Another shows
garlands of roses strewn on a deep linen
colored background. These cretonnes cost
but twenty -, cents ass the yard and though

the making cost only 10 cents.
An especially handsome bar pin is in

of the metal repeated in the setting Of

One woman serves her breakfast cakes d.
rectly from the griddle to the family. A
small gas stove stands on a table at her
right hand, and on it is an aluminium grid
die. When the cereal is brought in the bat
ter also arrives. and the gas under the grid
die is lighted 1t is characteristic of an
aluminium utensil that heat distributes itself
through all parts of it evenly, not affecting
the surface directly over the blaze more
than the outside portions and the Sides For
this reason nothing burns In such dish so
long as there Is any liquid left. An alum
mum griddle needs no oiling, and so makes
without smoke. Milk will boil with no dam
ger of burning IL placed over the fire in an
aluminium pan. An aluminium omelet pan,
too, has advantages, since the egg batter
will bake evenly over the entire surface in
stead of requiring watching to keep IL from

The Man Felt Foolish.

In theater recently man down In one
of the front rows spied on the floor a large
hatpin with an amber top. Looking about
him, he saw that two women and their es-
corts had just sat down. To one Of the
former he presented the pin. A shake Of
the head indicated that he had made a mis-
take. Then he tried across the aisle. The
women seemed to be interested. The pin
was a curiosity and it's amber of unique
carving. They hesitated. but the pin was
handed back. Desperately he began the
search anew. Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners. To them he showed the pin.
They took it and enjoyed its pattern. Just
then the man felt a tug on his sleeve. 1t
was his wife, and she remarked: why
are you showing my hatpin to strangers! %
He, blushing, went over to the feminine
pair and explained. Its my wife's hat
pin," he said, but in such consciously guilty
accents that the women handed 1t back
with doubling smiles.
