suffrage prevails. II from the vote OF these
two States 40 per cent. be deducted for the
number OF women voting, the total is SOL 900,

WALL STREETS BEGINNING

the Dutch Traded.
The question Is many times put, but less
often answered: why does Wall Street
happen to be the centre OF the oity's trad
Ing district9' To say that 1t IL largely on
at the head OF Wall street may seem sur
prising. yet such Is the case.
The tree In question was known by the
early Dutch settlers as the "groot' tre.=.
1t was standing many years after they
landed in America and had stood for
centuries before.
TWAS 80 big that six men with arms out
stretched could barely girdle 1t. From
the point where II stood the ground sloped
away to east and west, ahording a view
Of both the East and North rivers, as well
as to the south, In the direction of the bay.
An easy bench had been built around
the trunk Of the tree, and tavern known
as Der Halle" stood close by. The tree
soon became the favorite loahng place OF
tho Dutch burghers, who were accustomed
to gather there, smoke their pipes and
discuss the gossip OF the day over their
mugs OF beer, while watching the farm
women row their clumsy boats across the
river from Long Island
Naturally enough. too. they talked busi-
ness as well as gossip when seated around
the tree, and the spot soon became the
recognized centre OF news and trade As
It was not convenient to have the actual
bargaining and exchange Of goods that con-
stituted the trade Of that time done around
the tree a space was cleared and set aside
for an exchange close by the tree.
This was the authorized market OF the
day, just as the stock market Is now.
1t existed until the land was needed for
building purposes, when the exchange
was moved indoors.
The character thus given the neighbor-
hood has ever stuck to 1t and Wall Street
Is to-day just as much the trading centre
as 1t was then. But the city founded by
the Dutchmen has grown so in Importance
that Wall Street is no longer merely the
centre OF New York's trade. 1t Is fast
becoming the worlds financial centre

From the Shoe Retoiie

The Black Forest of Germany, region
famous for centuries, is hundreds OF years
behind the present age In methods OF living
and conducting simple industries. This fact
ia strikingly exempliied in the primitive ways
the natives follow in making leather and
shoes. When farmer kills his beef he takes
the hide to the local tanner. who will keep 1t
for two years before he considers it At for

the shoemaker Ia informed of the fact.

before him and measured, and the work Of
making shoes for the family begins. II may

"Who. passing through the Valley OF Baca."
Diggeth for others well:
Who bestoweth cup Of cold water
And cooleth the burning head:
Who bringeth hope to the weary
And glveth the hungry bread.
Rewards OF life are neeting,
The rich man has his day.
But all he holds In his cold dead hand
Is what he has given away"

Who giveth the hungry bread.

More than the worlds applause.
And prize the simple God bless you"

And stand where Fleischmann stood.

And gave the hungry food.
Then garland his grave with flowers.
Sweet tribute to actions done.
And crown It with wreaths Of laurel.
In honor of battles won.
And carve in the pure white marble
That towers above his head:

HIS trumpet gave forth no uncertain sound:
And when there was a waning of the strife

He talked OF resting, but until the end
Back 10 the fray a longing gaze he cast;
And by those qualities we most commend
Stiii linked the present with a Florious past.
Keen TO uphold the Houses dignity.

And dying, leave a record wholly free
