A Picture of High Finance.

According to John SHELTON
Williams Thomas +. Ryan, the
newl y-risen star of the armament
of high finance, "has the tendencies
which, if his lines had been cast in
an humble and contracted sphere,
would probably have made him a
kleptomaniac, his strongest i'm
pulse is to acquire money and his
one robust passion is to keep it.
He is simply an acquiring machine
and Operates himself for the pur-
pose of getting what others have. "
This is not an irresponsible de-
clamatior. 1t is the mature, sober
estimate of man who has risen to
foremost place in the world of
finance ard business. A great
banker and a great railroad build
er and manager, Mr.. Williams is
yet welded to honor and justice.
And this is his opinion of one of
the foremost business men of the
age. In an humble sphere Mr..
Ryan would have been ''klepto-
maniac" To get ''wnat others
have''-that is his absorbing pas
sion.
In ordinary circumstances the
| picture would be dismissed as IL

A lid is made only for the pur-
pose of covering something: it has
no other function. When the law
makers of Missouri enacted GER
tain laws for the regulation of So
cicty it is safe to assume that the
laws were made for the purpose of
enforcement in the correction of
attributed evils. If the Sunday
closing law has any virtue in ne
cessity, why not put the lid on and
keep it there!

The Many at School.

Sixteen million American boys
and girls went to the public schools
last year, Just about fifth of the
population. Add all the thnr pu-
pills in all the other schools, state,
private. business, Indian, in the
colleges, and so on, and you have
more than eighteen millions of
school boys and school girls shin
ing morning faces. Tho annual
public school bill is more than
quarter of billion dollars. A
good round sum, bu, much too
small, since the pay of the average
school teacher is still disgracefuIIy

Trained Animal Show TO Visit
Wildwood

The Washburn and D'Alma Trained
Animal Shows, the newest and best of
the big tent amusement enterprises,
will paw its first visit to Wildwood on
Monday, July 18th, and will exhibit on
the beach, between Glenwood and
Maple avenues, afternoon and evening,
rain or shine. Housed under mammoth
waterproof tents which defy the ele-
ments, no storm is too severe to spoil
the entertainment, and with a new and
perfect system of ventilation, no day is
too hot to prevent its being cool and
comfortable under the canvas. There
are hundreds of animals of all sorts and
sizes with this show, and the perfor-
nance is a constant source of wonder
and delight. Ladies and children in
particular find the entertainment de-
lightfully interesting, and every care is
taken fortheir comfort and convenience.
There are none of the disagreeable
features sometimes so noticeable with
other big shows, and there is no lady or
child who may not attend in perfect
safety and comfort. Washburn and
D'Alma pride themselves particularly
on their parade which will pass through
the main streets on the morning of the
day of exhibition and no. one should
fail to miss this. interesting and novel
pageant. In this parade are shown the
smallest horses in the world, the
smallest herd of baby elephants in cap
tivity, the finest draft horses, the great
cages of rare animals, and many new
and novel features.

Transferring the Lamb.

1t may be of interest to some read
ers to know how to transfer or change
a lamb from one eve to another. The
necessity of this often occurs in
flock at lambing time when some eve
does not have enough milk for her
lamb, or when another eve may be
better able to raise the lamb than its
own mother. Take the lamb OF the
eve to which you want to give an
other lamb and, while the mother is
in a tight pen by herself, rub the two
lambs together. If the newborn lamb
is too dry it may be necessary to take
the placenta or afterbirth of the eve
and stretch part of it over the lamb.
Then place both lambs before the eve
at once and nine times out Of ten the
eve will own both of them. When the
writer first tried to transfer lambs he
tried it right before the old sleeps
eyes, and couldn't make it work until
he put the eve by herself 1t seems
that a mother eve can count, but has
not a very reliable memory.
