THE BOYS IMAGINATION.

A small boy in Long Prairie heard
from the Third Reader the story Of
the eagle that carried off a child and
went home TO tell his folks of the
wonderful incident that had fired his
imagination. In the telling he be-
came the hero of the story, and the
scene was changed from the Alps to
the vicinity of Long Prairie. And
papa proudly went down the street
and repeated his sons version as an
actual fact.
An operation ought to be per-
formed on a man like that. The boy
had a vivid Imagination, a faculty
for projecting himself into the
world about him, and stupid papa
couldn't tell the difference between
that and the sober recital Of facts
to which his dreary life was accus-
toned.
Not that that sort of thing should
have unqualified approval. The boy
should be trained to distinguish the
actual from the visionary. But
nothing should be done to prevent
his having visions. ~ Red Wing

Habeas corpus writ Refused.

Trenton N. J May 10.-Judge Lam
ming, in the United States district
court, refused to grant a writ of habeas
corpus, applied for by counsel for Anna
Valentino, who was to have been
hanged at Hackensack on May 70 for
the murder of Rosa Silva.
Counsel for the condemned woman
claimed that she had not had a fair
trial. but County Prosecutor Keester.
Of Bergen county. denied this allega-
ton. saying the trial had been impair
tial.
Judge Lanning said that it was not
the custom of the federal courts to in
terfere with the state courts by issuing
writs of habeas corpus. An appeal 10

taken on the refusal to grant the writ.

James D. Colt, an attorney, is receiver
of the company, which is a New York
concern.
Mrs. Anna L. H. Weiss, upon whose
petition the receiver was appointed,
charged in her petition that her hus-
band was induced by the company to
begin on September u, 1902. to give it
orders for the purchase and sale OF
stocks and securities. He was induced,
she alleged, to pay on margins an ag-
gregate Of $3.50 in smaller sums until
his death last February. After his death
she was told that there was due to her
on her husbands account only S169.
She alleges that she was induced to
accept this sum and sign a receipt for
it upon the belief that was all that was
due her
She alleges in her petition that the
whole account was fraudulent and so
manipulated as to show loss of the
money her husband paid, and that the
company owes her $3.50.

Advice on Investments.

J. Hampton Moore, the new chief
Of the bureau Of manufactures Of
the department of commerce and la
Dor, is noted in Philadelphia for his
perspicacity. Slim, quick, bright
eyed, Mr.. Moore has the appearance
of a young man of elegance and
leisure. He is, instead Of that, a
hard and successful worker, and in
Philadelphia his advice upon fnan-
cial matters is valued highly.
A young woman the other day
said to Mr.. Moore:
Il have inherited $4,000. I hesi-
tate whether to invest this money
in government bonds, which pay
only 3 per cent, OF in Zaza gold
mine stocks, which pay 10 per cent.
What do you advise me to do?"
Mr.. Moore smiled.

The cullinan Diamond.

Speculation is rife in mining cir
eles as to what might have been the
fate of the Cullinan diamond had it
not been picked up on the surface.
A stone of that magnitude if car
ried to the washing machine would
not pass through the cylinder and
might conceiyably be picked out and
carelessly thrown aside with the dis
carded humps. If, on the other
hand, it reached the rollers it would
inevitably be smashed into several
pieces.
Wells, the old Kimberleyite, who
had the good luck to find the record
stone, is said, by the way, to have
been rewarded by a check running

RECEIVER FOR
BROKERAGE FIRM
Haight and Freese Charged
With Engaging in Ficti-
tious Transactions
ACCUSATIONS OF FRAUD MADE

New York. May 10.-On complaint
of Wridgway Bowker of Camden, n.
j., Judge Lacombe appointed Walter
d. Edmunds, of New York, and James
d. Colt, Of Boston, receivers in this
state Of the Haight & Freese company.
Bowker's claims against the company
amount to $4,000.
Roger Foster, counsel for the receiv-
ers. charges that the Haight & Freese
company is insolvent, that it has for a
long period been engaged in fictitious
brokerage transactions. It is further
charged that members of the company
have been guilty Of misuse Of its as
sets. The receiver, Edmunds. was in
charge of the company's main Office,
but was unable to give any estimate
of its assets or liabilities.
Judge Lacombe also granted an order
restraining New York banks and trust
companies from paying out any money
deposited by the firm. Mr.. Foster said
later that some assets Of the firm had
been found in the Seaboard and Con-
solidated National Banks, but they
were insufficient to meet the debts. Mr..
Bowker's affidavit states that he de-
posted $4,000 with the firms Philadel-
phia Offices, and alleges he was in
duced by George w. Turner to permit
a man named Daniels to manipulate
his account. He further alleges that on
January IL, 1903, his account, without
warning, was closed out. Bowker
swears that the firm bought and sold
no stocks whatsoever, and made up
fictitious accounts of alleged stock
transactions. which were given to its
customers The firm had, the affidavit
declares. more than 5000 customers.
whose claims amounted to more than
81, 900, 900.
An affidavit made by Arthur M.
Johnson set forth that he had been
employed by the firm in various capaci-
ties and in q number of the Offices. He
also swore that no stocks were bought
and sold on margins for customers, and
explained at great length the method
employed by the firms managers in
making up the alleged fictitious sales
accounts, so that each customer would
be a loser A similar affidavit made
by John NJ Warwick, another en-
ploye. purported to corroborate the
statements Of both Bowker and John
son as to the methods employed Dy
the firm.

A Man Of Many Titles.

1t is reported that King Edward
is about to bestow a peerage on Sir
George White, the defender of La
dysmith. Acting on this report, the
London papers suggest that the most
appropriate title would be Lord La
dysmith. Field Marshal Sir George
White seems to have collected all the
letters of the alphabet after his
name, for he has the grand crosses
of the Bath, the Michael and
George, the Star OF India, the In
dian Empire and the Victorian or
der, to say nothing of the d. c. L.
of Oxford and the LII. d. of Cam
bridge and Dublin. Doubtless, how
ever, he prizes most of all the Y. G.
with its plain bit of bronze, that he
won many years ago in Afghan

Snuff In the Senate.

The return Of Tom Carter to the
United States senate from Montana
is expected to revive the snuff tax
ing habit in that body. Owing to
the lack of users Of the ground weed
among the present members Of the
senate the custom has fallen into
disuse. But the two tiny mahogany
snulfboxes, one in the recess at each
side Of the presiding officers chair,
are still in position and are always
kept well filled. Ten OF twelve years
ago there were a dozen snuff takers
in the senate. 1t was a common
sight then to see Carter, ex-senator
George Of Mississippi, the late SEN
ator Beck of Kentucky and others
walk down to Captain Bassett's S
chair and take a liberal pinch Of the
powdered stuff from the latter's
gold and silver snulfbox. Nowadays
it is a rare thing to see a senator
indulging in the luxury.
