lied in the spring of 1901 under the
laws of New Jersey with a capital of
$155, 600. He is virtually the found
er of Amalgamated, and without him it
never would have existed. From the
moment when he began to sell Butte
short in the stock market Lawson's
progress in the financial world has been
meteoric. He soon became sole owner
of producing mine, Trinity, valued at
more than $6,O00,000, and his holdings
in Amalgamated and other mines were
soon double that amount.
Lawson was born with the bear in
stinct. Before he went largely into
copper he was known as the most per-
sistent bear in the Boston market. He
was regarded as the ideal operator for
the short side He had good judgment,
and he was cool enough to Withstand all
shocks. His methods were daring and
original. He has had no reason to
abandon them, and they are the same
today as they were at first. Armed
with facts, real or otherwise, he enters
the arena prepared to shove a stock
down to the last notch. At the same
time he assails it in the press with ar
guments and statements that cannot be
met at the moment, and all the time he
is selling it short in enormous blocks.
At first these tactics unnerved the mar
ket sadly. 1t had never occurred tc
anybody that a stock could be bonn
barded in the newspapers. Lawson es-
tablished the reputation of being a hard
hitter and his blows left a mark. No
body had ever before had the assur-
ance to come forward and pound a
stock so openly and so apparently
aboveboard. His course of procedure
was not only novel, but it made the
business world reckon with him and
fear him.

millions. When Marie reached her ma
jority she broke the engag ement, and
the brothers, who before going had APP
pointed Therese Marie's guardian and
made the elder sister custodian of the
entire estate, did not return to demand
a division. To compel them to make

Therese, who had married a lawyer
named Humbert, had an immense safe
built into the wall of her house and
locked therein the Crawford millions, of
which she was the sole custodian. Upon
this plea she obtained immense sums
from banks and capitalists, and every
body was eager to lend money to the
woman who could give such ample Sc

A WOLF HUNT.

The most northern point of Scandi-
navia, or Finland, is inhabited by Laps.
They are divided into mountain and
field Laps. The latter live in the val
leys and are employed chiefly in agri-
culture; the former keep to the noun
tains, and they are very wealthy, ow-
ing to their immense herds of reindeer,
which Craze summer and winter in the
open.
If the snow is very deep in winter the
herds are brought down to the more
sheltered valleys. In spite of constant
watchfulness they are even there not
safe from the invasion of wolves, whom
hunger drives down to the lowland
from the forests. The mountain Laps
in consequence organize wolf hunts
during the winter.
They pursue the animals on ski, or
snowshoes, and, owing to the great
speed at which they can get over the
frozen snow, they soon overtake the
flying beasts and kill them. The hunts
men carry nothing but a short, heavy
spear, which they drive home with
practiced hand. Only when wounded
do the wolves attack their pursuers;
otherwise the cowardly brutes seek
safety in flight.
