A swfnbwene story.

Algernon Charles Swinburne, the
poet, tells how when q schoolboy at
Elton he found himself once in the same
railway carriage with the head master,
DR.. Goodford, who was grimly reading
o. newspaper. Mr.. Swinburne's father,
who did not know the peculiar shrink
ing of august head masters from
strange parents, interfered with the
reading by asking DR.. Goodford's opin-
ion Of Algernon Charles. Now" con-
tinues Mr. Swinburne, "as matter Of
fact DR.. Goodford had never set eyes
on me and probably did not even know
of my existence; but, enraged, | sup
pose, at my fathers rather unconven-
tional interruption, which he no doubt
considered a slight on his dignity, he
glanced down at me with scarlet face
and said deliberately, Your boy, sir
your boy is one Of the very worst in
school!' and then intrenched himself
once more behind his newspaper" 1t
was no use for Algernon Charles to pro-
test that DR.. Goodford did not even
know him by sight. do you think. !"
retorted Swinburne senior, that am
going to take your word before that Of
your head masterT So there were no
junketings for Swinburne junior in the
Christmas holidays.

ANNUAL REUNION.
of Methodist Chnrch Have
Happy New Years Day.

The Annual Reunion of the Metho-
dists OF Redwood Falls and vicinity
was observed as is customary on
Friday last, the first day of the New
Year.
The people came in steadily dur
ing the morning, leaving their
heaped tubs and well filed baskets
in the church basement, afterward
going up into the main room for
hand shaking and the renewing of
acquaintances and making OF new
friends. At the dinner hour they
focked to the basement where three
long tables at which abont $50 peO-
pie might be seated, were set three
times, 500 people being fed with a
well prepared and much appreci-
ated meal.
At 2:30 began the flow of soul
and feast of reason which, though
quite long, had several excellent Sc
lections especially worthy of men,
ton. Mr.. Wallace 5 solo, The Old
Sexton, was well rendered and he
responded to an encore Mrs. G. c..
Little's well written paper dis
cussed the church and its future
work. The little folks contributed
several excellent selections, Doug
las Corpron and James Smithers
doing nicely. Miss Ethel Bowers
entertained with a reading, entitled
"Constantius and the Lion, and
the singing Of Mrs. A. J. Jones
and Miss Grace Chadbourn was vel
liked.
After another bountiful meal Of
which some 800 partook, another ex-
cellent program was given at 7:3O.
DR.. Doran, the presiding elder, who
arrived late in the afternoon,
opened the meeting by an invocation
and at its close gave very inter-
esting talk on, What is man any
way?n bringing out the fact that
mankind is an eminently social be

Police for Lawson.

It's pity the police regulations do not cover the Lawson nuisance, for then there would be some way of getting rid Or him. As matters stand he appears to have the untrammeled liberty of beating the tom toms and keeping everybody awake night with his outrageous noise. The vague alarm which was felt in Wall street when he leaped screaming into It's midst has given way to a feeling of anger mixed with contempt and impa- tience. The conclusion has been very generally reached that whether sane or insane he is dangerous and that he Is really actuated by a motive deeper and more sinister than that of merely grati- flying an insatiate craving for notoriety. It Is peculiarity about Lawson that that those who know him best mistrust him most and most seriously question the honesty of his intentions. Legal proof appears to be lacking, but all Bos- ton, or at least that part of it with which Wall street has contact, believes him to be financially interested in a group of bucket shops centerng in the New England metropolis. On this un- proved assumption thu theory has been built that his campaign was organized and carried out to save himself and his bucket shops from tremendous loss if not extinguishment. One Boston story has 1t that Lawson was in the hole S4-
 
 nections and that as result of the scare he threw into Wall street he saved the entire amount and reaped a huge profit besides on the initial break and suhse- quent violent fluctuations. This same story deals with the case of one indi- vidual who had a paper profit of S700.000 fin one of the alleged Lawson bucket shops which he was not allowed to take down and which he saw vanish into thin air.
 Whether or not there is anything tan gible to the story of the Lawson backing of New England bucket shops 1t is cold truth that by reason of his crusade the bucket shops In question and others all over the country were saved from ruin and their colossal losses turned into profits. It is also notorious that by req son of this same firebrand performance his alleged enemies, H. IT. Rogers, Will Ham Rockefeller and others of the Stand ard oil crowd were able to wrest from Colonel Green and his friends coveted control of the Greene Consolidated Cop per company, which they had been plan ming for years to get. So far as can be learned Rogers and his Standard oil as- sociates were in entire sympathy with the slump in the market and that in- stead of being caught with the goods as claimed by Lawson, they were fixed to profit sublimely by the slump. If Law son is not working in alliance with the Standard oil spectators and the bucket shops he has certainly been playing in- to their hands of late If he is entirely honest in his wolf hunting he has badly failed for he has not bagged a single wolf. while multitudes of helpless lambs that come within range of his guns litter the landscape.

road and industrial pooled and individual pooled and individual investment hold ings of more than 100000 shares of stock. John D. Rockefellers individual holdings of railroad and industrial stocks probably exceed in market value $5O0,- 0000OO, which reducted to shares at par would be 100000 shares.

The Good Old Times.

There are people who talk today in Wall street about the good old times when there were giants in the stock mar ket and they mention in the same breath Commodore Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Wer- seheffer, Cammack and others conspicu- ous in their day as spectacular opera tors. That kind of talk sounds foolish to those who are in a position to com- pare those good old days with the pres ent time. Never in the history of Wall street have there been as many giants of such large size as now figures active ly in the stock market. In those good old days 1t was a rare thing for 8 trader to swing as large a line as 10000 shares
 At this writing there are fifty men, many of them entirely unknown to the public at large, who think nothing of buying or selling 100000 shares and there are many groups of financiers whose in- vestment holdings in single corporations range from 100000 to 100000 shares
 Messrs. E. H. Hartman, Jacob Schiff and their immediate friends hold own ership control of at least 2,500,000 shares in the securities of the Union Pacific combination with its 25,0O0 miles or more Of owned, allied and subsidiary lines and systems.

Queer Fish Brought Up.

The Lawson craze has brought to the surface some very queer fish. species of an emotional wave seems to have swept through the speculative zone. A somewhat similar phenomenon attends revival meetings and all kinds of cam paigns calculated to work on the varying phases of unbalanced human sentiment. Doubtless when the Lawson incident fades Into the perspective the ludicrous features of the affair will stand out in clearer relief than they do now The shrielxings and rawlings of the Boston freak have stirred up the entire menag- erie One phase of the excitement Is ob- servable in the tendency of many queer people to slop over into the advertising thereby find a vehicle for the expression of views about other people and the problem of stock speculation.
 Colonel William G. Greene lately a bad man from Arizona and old and New Mexico. was an illustration of this spe- cies of mania. As a literary production the effort was a dismal failure, but 1t added momentarily to the gayety of Wall street and was of passing interest to the general public, which may always be relied upon to take notice of the comi- calties of such a situation. Another person with a mania for notoriety, one William G. Young of Chicago. took ad- vantage of the Lawson occasion to se- cure a place under the headlines for one day on the announcement that he had come to take charge of the anti Lawson forces as the representative of the Standard oil and other important in- terests. Young turns out to be an ally of one "Sid" Nellie who made his money in Chicago in bucket shops. Following in the train of Colonel Greene and Mir. Young number of misfits jumped into the advertising pages of newspapers with communications addressed to H. H. Rog- CTS and other distinguished financiers, thereby inducing many people to read down the column to the signatures. It Is regarded by some light weights of a cer- tain class as a great feat if they can in some way link their names with the
