viii especially interest those who took
an interest in the money question dur
ing the first Mckinley BRYAN cam
paign. The central thought is the
manipulation of the financial system of
the country by few men through the
control of the gold supply.
Richard Dawson, president of the
great Metropolitan National bank, the
biggest thing on the street. George
Ketcheu Grinnell, a young metal
lurgist who has studied radium and
has an electric furnace in the basement
OF his house, begins to make most
mysterious epOSitS-alWayS in assay
Office gold checks. In two months he
has ten millions on deposit, in three
fifty millions, and more seemingly
coming. Where did he get it? The
facts furnished by the detectives in
dictate that it must have been manu-
featured. William Mellen of the In
ternatiOnal Distributing Syndicate is
called into counsel. He Eliminates and
comes to the same conclusion as his
friend. The fountains Of the financial
deep have been opened-gOld is to be
come as cheap as iron. What can be
done to avoid the effect of the coming
Hood? The conclusion reached is
simple one: Sell bonds which are pay
able in gold. and buy stocks which
represent all values above debts.
Then came a paradoxicaI panic. The
choicest bond issues were poured on
the market and the poorest stocks be
gan to mount. Nothing like it was
ever known. Then young Grinnell
called on Isaac Herzog of Wolff, Her
zog. & Co. 1.-THE accumulated wisdom
of i've thousand years was in this He
brew bankers business soul" He un-
dertOok the commission to buy fifty
million in bonds, all bought by drafts
on Dawson's bank.
The denouement came when Mellen
and Dawson discovered that they had
been tricked-that GrinneI had no
gold factory; that the assay checks he
had deposited represented the fortune
of his prospective father-in-law, eau
tousIy converted into. gold and held
for the great coup. s"Then you DELHI
erately-'' said Dawson at the final
interview, his voice husky with rage,
Don't" answered young Grinnen.
"Of course assumed that business
training and Wall street practices did
not kill the imaginative faculty. That
is what I had to work on. No finan-
cier can be. great without imagination,
and you gentlemen are great finan-
cieTS.''

Woman, I'd advise you not to fool
with this question. You may find it a
serious one before you get through. In
ten years, starting in with six hens, they
have sold enough eggs and poultry to
come to $50, 900, and their income next
year will be at least $4,000. They have
bought a fine farm, built a new house
and now ride in their own carriage.
Suppose we had started with six hens
when we were first married."
Wed have owned d whole state by
this time, and we could give away a
million eggs and not miss them
"Sneering again, are you? Well, you
can sneer and be hanged. If we are not
millionaires you are to blame for it.
Here is another case. A merchant fails
in business and commits suicide. After
his funeral expenses are paid his widow
has just seven dollars left. She uses
FIVE of that to build a hencOOp, and the
other two goes to buy chickens. She
starts with four hens and a rooster.
That was nine years ago. Today she is
worth $4,000. and rides about after a
spanking team. I wanted to go into

The boy who is to be the man of

boy because he rattIes away on the

for his companionships; she uncon-

Chicago, June 12.Three persons were
drowned and two others narrowly es,
capped like fate Saturday evening
when an automobile, in which the five
were riding, plunged into the Chicago
river at Chicago through the open draw
of the Rush-street bridge. Those
drowned are: Jerome Kurtzihan, Chicago
manager for chemical company, Mrs
Jerome Kurtzman, w. A. Hartley, man

yon and Mr.. Hoops were unconscious for
half an hour after being taken from
the water, but are expected to recover.
The accident occurred at the north end
of the bridge, where there is an upward
slope of 200 feet toward the edge of the
draw. This slope is 50 steep that it has
not been thought necessary to stretch
chains atloss the roadway, as is done
at number of other bridges where the
approach is on the level.

Young, in the box for the former, show
ed his old-time form and held the heavy

his wildness contributed much to the
downfall Of his team. A crowd Of near
ly 10000 people saw the game.
The Cleyelands are still nearly 100
points better than Philadelphia and Chi
cago, who are tied for second place.
Detroit, the fourth ON the list, is only
"a points better than Boston, and the
supporters OF the latter team are ex-
pecting to see the teams change places

New York and st. Louis are still scrap
