NV mother amused all her chill

and delightful mystery, but If
she had told US the secret it would
have lost its charm:
"Think of a number"
Perhaps l would think 'Four."
Double it."
l thought, but did not say,
Eight"
Perhaps she would say, "Add six
to it."
"Fourteen."
"Divide it by two"
"Seven."
"Take away the first number you
thought of and the remainder will
be three"
Sure enough, four from seven
does leave three. But l was very
much puzzled to know how she
knew, for the whole process had
been silent on my part. 1 nearly
always said:
"Let's try it again, mamma"
Suppose I chose 1000.
"Now double it," she would say,
as before.
1.-TWO thousand" l would say
quickly.
"Add ten to it," would be the
next command.
1.-TWO thousand and ten" That
was not hard.

cry, glad that l had chosen an easy
number.
"Tske away the first number you

One might think of ten, another
Aof seven and / of six. The result
would be the same.

victims in the various companies
which he promoted and which subse-

Wright had been in poor health since
his return from the United States,
where he made an unsuccessful fight
against extradition after his flight from
England. The strain of the trial. add
ed to his poor health, proved too much
and the shock of the jury's verdict of
guilty was the only thing needed to
snap the tension.
Full revelations of his immense
swindles have now been made

Wright swelled the assets and dimin-

shareholders meetings.
Wright promoted forty-one compan-

was the meteor of the financial world
in London. When he began his career
as a promoter in the British capital no
one knew him. He was reputed to
have made millions in the mines in
West Australia. He began business in
no small way. He astonished all Eng
land by inducing the late Marquis OF
Dufferin to accept the presidency OF
one of the first companies he f1oated-
the London & Globe Finance Corpora
ton.
The company was capitalized for So
600, 900 and offered its stock for sale.
The investing public, 1ulled into Sc
curity by the name of the Marquis OF
Dufferin, purchased the shares with
avidity. The London & Globe invest
ed the money thus poured into its
treasury in many enterprises. Worst
of all, it paid s3,75O,OO0 for the Baker
Street and Waterloo Underground
Railway-and it failed.

While the London & Globe Company
was at the flush of it's popularity with
the investing public Wright organized
the Standard Exploration Company.
The public simply threw it's money in
to Whitaker Wright's lap.
Then one company after another
was organized. The public bought
stock eagerly. Money was paid into
Wright's hands by millions. He was
at the pinacle of his success. He spent
millions of dollars for his own personal
qualification. He owned almost pal
ace in Park lane next to the famous
mansion of the Marquis of London
derry. He purchased a country home
upon which he spent money like water
He filed it was rare works of art,
paintings and statuary. He owned
steam yachts and gave lavishly to
charity.
Then came the crash The London
& Globe Company failed on Dec. 20,
1900, dragging down nearly a score of
London firms with it. Then, one after
another, the remaining forty compan-
les organized by Whitaker Wright
crumbled. Investors lost everything
Many noble English families were
ruined when the Wright bubble burst,
though some immense fortunes were
made in the early speculations.
The shame and disgrace of the col
lapse of the London & Globe. which
had invested more than $4,000 900 in
various enterprises, killed Lord Duff
ferin.
For two years Whitaker Wright held
off prosecution, but the clamor of the
public became so strong that Parlia-
ment compelled the authorities to
| move A warrant for Whitaker
Wright's arrest was issued and he fed.
He went to Havre, where he sailed for
the United States, only to be arrested
with his niece as the steamer touched
| the dock. He made hard fight against
extradition, but was beaten in the SUI
preme Court.
The early life of Whitaker Wright
is a sealed book. 1t is not known
| whether he was British or American
born 1t is reported that he was a
natura1ized American. 1t is known that
he lived in the United States many
years.

LAUGH AT PREMIER'S RLUNDER

The Hungarian journals are making

the premier, who. although a liberal,
is not free from the foibles of his
caste One of these is love to appear
at all functions in his uniform as a re-
serve lieutenant of Hussars. At a re-
cent public funeral since his accession
to office this led him into ludicrous
scrape. A regular captain of Hussars
of tory principles, who happened to be
on duty, spied the premier in his re-
serve uniform and, therefore, in the DO
sition of his subordinate AS one or
two little details of the uniform had
not been donned the captain peremp-
torily ordered the lieutenant" out of
the church to dress correctly" and
the premier had no appeal. Home he
rushed to rectify himself, but when
he got back to church the funeral was
over.

Senator Hanna's Said to Be the Finest
on Record.
Nothing SO elegant in the way of
credentials ever appeared in the SEN
ate as those of Senator Hanna, which
Mr.. Foraker handed up to the clerks
desk one day last week. That is what
the veteran employees of the clerks
Office say. Written on the finest parch-
ment, these credentials are bound be-
tween full morocco covers, labeled in
girt letters, Credentials of Senator
Marcus A. Hanna" and tied with
dainty bows of red ribbon, nice enough
for any boudoir. Besides the usual GER
tificate of the governor as to the action
of the state legislature, there are ele-
CANT inscriptions on the parchment
leaves telling what the vote was by
which Mr.. Hanna was returned for a
six-year term.

FUN FOR THE BROKERS.
Daniel J. SuIIy's Initiation Made Pleas
ant for Him.


ant for Him.
Daniel ]. Sully, king of the cotton
brokers, has become a member of the
New York Stock Exchange and made
his first appearance on the floor last
week. He had been doing things to
the cotton bears for some months. so
he knew he was in for lively initia-
ton. The moment he appeared the
doorkeeper yelled Tennessee" which
is cue for sroughhouse" work. The
brokers, expecting him, had armed
themselves with wads of cotton in
every conceivable shape. They moved
on Sully in body, raising the battle
cry, Use no hooks" and when they
got through with him he was a fair
imitation of the Dusty Rhodes one sees
in the comic papers The victim took
it all good-naturedly- As soon as pos
sible he made his escape, donned an
other suit of clothing which he had
provided against what was coming to
him and returned to the floor, where
he received quite different reception.
