Crookedness of Wall Street.

From Cent Per Cent.
In his report on the Equitable Lie Assur-
ance Society State Superintendent Hem
bricks sounds warning which Is of
especial interest to the public, and which
has broad and direct application to all
kinds of trusteeship where there is danger
of too close intimacy with Wall street. Mr..
Hendricks is entirely correct in his state
ment that popular confidence In insurance
companies cannot be restored until the
management of insurance affairs is taken
entirely out of Wall street. The disclosures
which have been made In connection with
the Equitable affairs have revealed the out
lines of situation which spells corrup-
ton in its most dangerous form.
The wonder is that SO much money actu-
ally does come into the street to lubricate
the wheels and keep them going. Estimates
as to the bed rock cost of keeping the ma
chinery of Wall street speculation in mo-
ton vary from $25, goo, 600 to $50 600 600 an
nually, before a base line can be reached
from which the public can figure get
ting an even break for its money.
These odds, great as they are. do not rep
resent all of the truth for to that tax must
be added money illicitly grabbed off in the
handling of the public's funds. This is
where the back-breaking drag comes inS 1T

The Strain of Entertaining.

This when she plays the role of guest
only. But she must entertain, and in her
role of hostess She has much 10 do and
plan, while changes of gowns go on Just
the same.
As her summer functions are very eIab
crate. there are many tradespeople to be
seen. Theatrical managers and vaudeville
agents are summoned from New York for
consultation. Caterers are interviewed in
person and by long distance telephone, that
unique refreshments may be served Car
penters. electricians and decorators submit
plans for a suitable background for he
entertainment. all of which Mrs. Fish SUI
perinends in person. She is tcrse: business
like and captious in preparing her enter
tainments. but she always gets results
which make even her own ja5ed acquain--
ances wake up.
Sunday Is apt to be a strenuous day In
Newport. To be sure. athletics, from ten
Ids to polo. are suppressed at the Casino
grounds and the elect make show OF
going to church. but il is a heavy day for
the hostess, because il is the day Of eNclu-
sive functions at which size is expected to
appear at her best. whether it be break

Hall Game on "The Press"

Hall Cane, in Harpers Weekly.
l wish to say that nobody admires more
than / DO the great work of the great now
elist known to the world as The Press"
This novelist publishes his novels In serial
form only, and his grip is so intense that
few of us can sit down TO breakfast before
learning the latest developments of his
story. His romance is the most romantic
We meet anywhere; his pathos the most
pathetic, and his power the most powerful.
His originality is so startling that it makes
all forms of invention look like the fabrica-
tons of children at play, and his versatility
is so extraordinary that 1t is impossible to
predict whether he will raise his curtain
tomorrow on tragedy a farce in high
life or low life. the land or on the sea
He Is the great world-novelist, and he
goes on from century to century, making
stories Of surprising interest and value. His
page is always open and can never be
closed, and whatever his subject, we are
compelled to read of 1t. Such is the now
elist called the Press-the novelist of life
and in no country that l know of is he so
faithful, so truthful or incorruptible as
In our own.

cripple at the same time. She generally
bites, and once she has opened her pocket
book to hand me one fifty for something
that cost me nineteen cents, / don't care
IL the boss does see me. He wouldn't dare
to stop my game for fear of driving the
| woman out of the store in huff before she
had bought what she came for. 1t don't
do to interrupt woman when She thinks
she has bargain on the run.
Its soft money to offer shoe strings and
other things easy to carry in your pockets
to the brokers. They toss bill at you and
never take anything-and you never in
tended that they should. But the presen-
tation watch game is my favorite when !
feel like enjoying myself right.
The "Phony" Watch Game.
i buy a watch that looks like it was in
a gold case for three seventy-five, and take
it around to engraver I know, and he
puts in the inside of the front lid: Pre-
sented to John Jones by James Smith, in
grateful acknowledgment of his gallantry
in saving my daughter. at the loss of his
leg, in d runaway, June u, 1904 Then
tidy up bit-put on collar anyway-and
when the pawnshops are closed l go into a
saloon in a good quarter of the town.
Never try the game until the pawnshops
are closed some wise guy might trip you
up by asking why you didn't go to pawn
shop.
Well, when you spy out a group of
fiush-lookers having several rounds Of
drinks at table you act as if you were
half dazed with liquor and tumble in
your pockets for money for the drink you
ordered and discover you haven't a red
and declare you've been touched of your
Wad. and then suddenly discover that
you've still got your watch. and pull that
out, and lurch over to the fiush-lookers
and show it to them-with the front lid
open, of course.
You humble something about being
broke-touched-and you don't like to
do it, but you need the money; and it's
shame to treat the man so mean
who gave it to you, but-and the first
thing you know some one bites and asks
how much do you want for the watch?
You see, he sees a chance to get good
thing for song-he's a CRATER, and 1t
twenty-spot for a three seventyfive
watch.
But if you think there's no man in the
crowd who'll bite 50 hard, you ask for
loan of ten dollars, the watch to be left
with the barkeeper till next day when
you'll redeem it, and the barkeeper can
hand back the upney, and all the time
you're swearing you'd never part with
the watch for keeps. But | don't like to
work the game that way unless I'm right
up against it, That's too much like doing
man dirt who befriends you. The other
way you're simply doing up CRATER
who thinks he is doing you up brown.
Appeal Of an Empty Sleeve.
Some days when 1 want to have the
feeling of a millionaire at the end of a
day l stick my right hand into the top
of my trousers; a friend straps my arm
tight against my body and I go out into
the world minus an arm as well as leg.
An empty sleeve appeals when a wooden
leg won't; and if it's your right arm
that's gone-thats everybody's best arm,
you know-the more you'll feel like a

And so it goes until the harvest moon

is this unseen and unidentified tax which
makes 1t almost impossible TO win In Wall
street
The public has hit upon the proper meth
cd Of beating Wall street, and that Is to
keep away from the stock exchange, and
to withstand the temptations to engage in
the game of speculation in that theater of
hazardous activity. 1t has been said that
the only way to beat the horses the stock
market and gambling table is to keep
away from them. This is the plan that
has been adopted by the great mass OF
people, so far as relates to Wall street.
The public distinctly is not in the market,
and the recent disclosures of crookedness
and business immortality In high places fur
Their emphasize the popular determination
to stand aloof and watch the play from
safe distance. Wall, street is no place for
the publcs money.
And when 1t comes to that the hun
dreds of thousands of small capitalists of
the nation can very well spare Wall street
from their program. They have numerous
and diverse legitimate opportunities for the
investment of their money without sending
1t to the stock exchanges or boards of trade
to be teopardized, and four times out of
five, lost. True, the country is, growing up
to the over-distended corporate capitaliza-
ton, but there Is so much wind and water
in existing issues of stocks and bonds that
only those who are in a position TO give
close study of values can make invest
ments with safety on the big exchanges.
Even those who by long experience, train
ing and familiarity. with the situation are
best qualified to act intelligently lose
money more often than they win.

Mans Selfishness.

From the Saturday Review.
On a general survey of all the greater
qualities men usually claim for themselves
that women are on an inferior moral plat
form. With many protestations women are,
perhaps, inclined to admit that some sort of
plausible case can be made out for men.
But on one thing women are unanimous.
They assert a Self-evident fact which
cannot be contradicted that men are abom-
inably selfish in little things.

Written f,r The star
In recent article IN The Star the hobo
was described as n man who is always go
ing about the country looking for work
and praying that I've won't find it. Well
there comes a time in many a hobo's life
when d., quits looking for work-retires.
That happens when he tries to ride the
rods of freight car some day when he
has too big swallow aboard, and mscal-
Culates the speed Of the moving train and
falls under the car wheels and wakes up
later in a hospital TO find that leg or an
arm is missing.
