tion; the very air seems to have lost
it's freshness-it is lifeless with the
burdens and memories of day that
was full of struggle and sin and worry.
When you sleep, and wake suddenly
because of some unwonted noise at 2
O'Clock in the morning, you have feel
ing of unearthliness.s It is only the
interval of a moment between slumbers
that may be profound. But in that
moment you hear on the street, possibly,
lamentable woman's voice, as of
soul passing away; or the thick. relaxed
drunken; or the CHEEKY chatter of young
men and girls horneward bound from
ball or party The sounds come to you
as from another world, bringing the
sense of tragedy, as in the Knocking at
the Gate that disturbed the morning
hours at Inverness.
The hoofs of horse beating on an
asphalted street in the early morning
hours-didn t they remind you of those
verses of Stevenson in which the wind
is figured as a horseman that rides for
ever thru the night9 If there is
carriage behind the beast, it rolls on
noiselessly. Only the measured mono
tone of unhurried hoofs comes to your
pillow, first faint, then loud, then faint
again. The picture your sleep-seduced
fancy forms is Of solitary horseman
riding on forever between blind house
fronts pitiless in their slumbers, his
reins lying loosely on the saddlebow,
his head hung forward on his breast,
his dim eyes hopeless but steadfast,
with mortal WEAKNESS gazing forward
into the night as his steed carries him
down a narrowing avenue that has at
its end place of graves "

HOUSE Fly BEARER OF
TYPHOID FEVER GERMS
Health Commissioner Dixon Says
I Insect Is Largely Respon-
sible for Disease. 81

Harrisburg, Pa, June 23.-Stats
Health Commissioner Dixon said to-
day that not enough credit is given to
the house fly for the number of typhoid
fever cases it is responsible for and
that measures should be taken by the
people of Pennsylvania for protection
against these little disease trans
mitters.
"The fy's responsibility for the
great number of deaths among thu
American soldiers during the Spanish
American war was conclus!velJ
shown" added Commissioner Dixon.
"That the fly was entirely responsible
for many cases was shown by reason
of the fact that investigations proved
that the typhoid fever germs did not
come from the drinking water. There
were only 454 Americans killed dur.
ing the Spanish-American war, but
5,277 died Of typhoid fever.
"The farmer and dairyman should
be. particularly anxious to get rid OF
flies, for it means dollars and cents to
them in their milk production. It is a
recognized fact that the annoyance
caused cattle by the fly materially re-
duces the quantity of milk that the
cow gives. 49,.
"Horse manure is the favorite
larval food. The first thing to do IS
to see that the manure pit is well
screened, and for this purpose the best
material is light cheese cloth. a

be busted thickly over the contents OF
the pit every day.

Little Traveller Escapes from Police

z Liverpool, June 23.-What to do
with Stanley Condor, the 1l-yeaT-old
world traveller, is question that is
seriously worrying the magistrates.
This youth was sent to the work
house after slowing himself away on a
liner from New York to Liverpool.
Watching his opportunity, he escaped
with two other boys about his own age
and went Ito the docks and tried to
stow away for another trip. zi..,.s, :
A policeman captured the trio and
they were returned to the workhouse.
But: the authorities feel that the wan
dering spirit is so strong in the hoy
that he soon will make his escape
again. ;Sa5.
This precocious traveller has had an
adventurous time. Riding on the buff
ers of railroad trains, clingiRg to the
axels, he was Whirled thru England.
Reaching liverpool, he stole into the

1t is, obviously, to the interest of the
Berlin banks that their customers spec

proved after future trading in German
lndustrials was prohibited. The in-
tent of the law was to stop speculative
trading, but mot investment buying.
Yet the banks loaned money on such
securities, and thus enabled people who
had not the money to trade in them.
This. the government regarded as avoid.
ing the intent and purpose of the law,
SO this also has been prohibited.

crossing trades and themselves being
the purchasers Of their customers,1 Sc
curities when the latter is deemed ad-
visable. The banks occupy the position
of, immense stock brokerage houses
with privileges that must be worth mil
lions to them. Not even the banks Of
New York enjoy such sure thing.
Yet the attitude Of the governments, or
rather the agrarians,~ toward specula-
tion in breadstuffs and industrials leads
one to suspect that their legislation IS
for selfish purposes. and this situation
does not interest them, or that they do
not realize the position of the Stock
exchange and the banks It is certain,
however. that the latter would receive
no help from the government if their
speculations should lead them into a

The BERLIN STOCK
EXCHANGE AND BANKS.
Rollin E. Smith Describes the
Business Methods in the
German Capital.
BY Rollln e. Smith.

Berlin, May 14.-Berlin is not only
one of the great financial centers Of
Europe, but great speculative center
as we'll; and the Stock exchange is of
particular interest to Americans for
two reasons: One of these is because
banks with the exchange, and the other
because a number of American stocks
are traded in.
One who comes to Berlin from the
conservative west, conservative as re-
CARDS banks and speculation, is at first
shocked, then puzzled to find that all
the large banking houses, many of
them of International standing and rep
Sutation, have representatives on the
floor of the exchange to transact their
own and their customers business.
b. To fully realize what this means, one
must create parallel case. Such a one
might be, that of the leading banks Of
Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St.
Louis, etc, having clerks on the floor
in the pit for their customers, and
scalping the market on the bank IS ac-
count. Ones ideas of conservative
banking must receive shock at such
q situation, while it is puzzling to
know that such condition can exist
in the chief city of this, one of the
most advanced commercial nations of
the world. s..5 :
A 'sseat'' Costs Nothing.
The Stock exchange has very large
membership, several thousand, but
there is no price attached to the mem
berships or seats, as in America. Any
person of good !: standing, moral and
financial and properly vouched for, is
entitled to, membership. The organiza-
tion is maintained by@t annual dues,
which are dependent upon the number
of employees a member. has on the floor
and the amount of business transacted
Each bank is entitled to seat.
The larger banks have a considera-
BILE force of clerks on the floor. They
have desks around the sides of the ex-
change room, where regular stock
brokerage business is done. Orders are
received here either directly from Gus
toners or by telephone or wire. Or
tables or thru paid brokers in the pits.
When bank takes the Stock ex-
change account for customer, it al
ways reserves the right to either exc
cute the order in the regular way, or
to take the trade (buy or sel3 the
stock itself. In other words, it re-
serves the right to .sscross' the trade
or to "bucket' it, provided, of course,
1T is done at the official quotation and
the transaction reported to the "sworn
brokers.''
The banks make this reservation
there is no secret about it, and such
frankness is delightfully."- order to pro-
tect their own interests; to at times
prevent violent fluctuations in the mar
ket. For instance, bank may hold a

customer may also hold large amount
