Mr.. CarrOway's
Position.
Observation-Disclosures

It is old how the news of a girls
engagement spreads, and how she at
once begins to shed old lovers for
whom she has no further use as nat
urally and painlessly as the seed-pod
sheds it's outer husk At least that
was my case.
Of all men who had vowed al
ways to be my friend, if ever 1 had
need of them, there remained-by the
time. my engagement had ceased to
be an entirely new delight to me
only Mr. Ambie (short for Ambrose)
Carroway; and he, as will presently
be shown, continued to dangle mere
Iy because he was painfully ignorant
of the change that had taken place in
my condition. He called on me
few days after the proposal, and as I
liked him we'll enough, in a way,
had him shown up. 1 must tell you
that my finance had only just left me
indeed, the two men met on the
doorstep, believe.
We exchanged the usual banalities,
and he sat down.
81 say" he bIurted forth suddenly,
'who was the chap met on the step?
Do you know him?"
THAT was Mr.. Basil Cosnett," I
replied.
"OddIooking person" he remarked.
where's he from?"
HE is from-from all over the
world 7 replied, deprecatingly.
"He looked a bit all over the shop"
said Ambie, tittering.
81 suppose you have never been to
the far west have your" I asked
him.
'N-not exactly" said he. "But
how do you mean? Earls Court?"
Nor to Gilman" l went on.
"Well, no." said he, looking some
what surprised.
Nor to-Iet me see-Brazil?'
He stared at me with slack mouth
Cant say have, he replied. 'Why?''
MIR. Cosnett has" said I. "And to
leaps of other places, too"
He laughed unpleasantly. ''YOT
make me feel horribly Inferior" he
mIrmured.
You haven't travelled much, have
your" said l.
"Oh-Well-Paris, you know. And
the Riviera. And so on, he said.
Everybody goes to those places" I
rejoined scornfully. And I added,
Il think man ought to travel"
A dull flush overspread his face as
he forced a smile. "ShalI I travel
now" he asked, rising.
Don't be absurd" said I, picking
up my palette again to paint flowers
on satin. Il only meant-you don't
mind if 1 go on working? What
meant was that man who has trav-
eled has always so much to talk
about"
4 should have thought that was
rather a fatiguing characteristic" he
drawIed.
1T would be-in a stupid person
But Mr.. Cosnett is an exceedingly
clever man., retorted.
There was a lengthy pause.
why don't you talk to me?"
asked, at last.
4 haven't travelled" he said.
would you like some tea?"
THANK you" said he. Shall
ring?"
IF you please" said I, and the
spirit of mischief being still in me,
went ON teasingly. "Mr Cosnett
knows all about tea. Visited planta-
lions In China and Ceylon, and saw it
growing, you know"
4 believe things to grow very fast
in the topics" observed Ambie. Saw
it growing, did you say?"
This ignored. "YoI mustn't think
it odd if 1 seem to quote Mr.. Cosnett
a good DEAL" said I. "The fact is,
have seen so much of him lately"
THAT reminds me, said he. y

The Little Sister.

When days are dreariest,
When the nights are long,
Sudden on the creaking stair
Sounds her careless song;
Sudden on the darkened sill
Falls footstep free,
And the little sister comes
Back again to me.
Blithe and gay and jubilant,
All her words a jest,
Laughter on her merry lips,
You upon her breast,
Happy dreams within her eyes,
Daring days to be
So the little sister comes
Back again to me.
And she hath the eyes I had
When the world was new,
And she hath the heart l had
When the world was true.
And my very name she bears
All, so close our tie!
Just the little sister now
Who one day was I.
Strange that she who knew no tears
So my tears should wake;
Strange her very happiness
My own heart should break.
Oh, so other than myself,
Two, yet one, are We
Little sister of my age
Comes she back to me.
Not wistful ghost she comes
Better SO, perchance-
But with lips too fain to sing,
Feet too fain to dance.
And 1 turn my eyes from her
eyes she must not see)-
When the little sister comes
Back again to me.

What to Wear and How to Wear 1t

Put your clothes on right. When
you buy a corset have it fitted to your
figure. There are fine corsets made to
order, but these cost pretty penny,
and unless you have very peculiar
form indeed you need not strive or
care for this luxury. No matter how
much the bodice is draped or bloused,
it is necessary to have the foundation
approximately right.
The bodice here displayed is one
adapted to figure wanting curves, the
little velvet bolero kindly hides def
ciencies. The gown is a high-necked
evening dress, such comfort to have
among ones stock, and suitable for
afternoon wear, too. tits made of old
rose cashmere, of very fine quality, the
trimming is velvet of a darker shade
and some ivory-tinted lace. A sheer
chemisette is lined whit chiffon, which
does not detract from the airiness and
gives body to the deep yoke. In the
hair may be worn twist and knot OF

Chicago.-Like a house of cards
flaming with fictitious money values,
the towering structure of Chicago trac-
ton securities came tumbling about
the ears of the financial generals of
Chicago, Philadelphia and New York

1t has cost Morgan, Armour, the

Charles T. Yerkes probably knew
years before he sold his Chicago street
car securities, that a certain legisla-
back in 1865, did not, as supposed, ex-
tend the franchises for use of Chi
cago streets for a period of SO years.
At the supreme courts decision
values of Union Traction stocks fell in
a heap, and Chicago City railway
stocks dropped % per cent. The &C
companying table shows the losses.
The holders of Union Traction COM
pany stocks looked, after it was all
over, like boys holding the sticks of
balloons with only a shriveled bit of
rubber at the end of each stick as re-
minders of the buoyant beauty they
had bought from the circus day bal
loon man.
In this case, the shriyeled bit of rub

were multi-millionaires. Those who

tangle of outlying electric lines The
North Chicago was stocked heavily
and bonded literally. During the
growth of each company Yerkes had
sold part of his stock for many times
the amount of his first investment.
Then the Union Traction company
was organized with $2O,OOO,OO0 of COM
mon stock and $4,000, 900 of preferred
stock, and it leased the North Chi
cago and West Chicago companies.
Its stock was offered to the public and
sold to the Elkins- Widener syndicate,

pocketed $10,000000 of nice hard cash
for the equities in the North and West
side companies from which he already
had made $1O,000,000.
This worked so well he could quick
ly carry out his further plan. By
paying a dividend on the first dividend
day, he so encouraged the new stock
holders that when he got together his
miscellaneous electric companies he
sold the lot, under the name of the
Consolidated Traction company, to the
same Union Traction company, and
took bonds in payment. Bonds looked
good to the public and to Blair & Co.,
of New York, and Yerkes put away
for cold day $5,OO0,O00 more in cash
and securities.

1t is difficult to say what is the fash

to choose from; one may wear a

fine black chip hat, smallish affair
round as to brim and with crown on
the cone-shaped order. 1t is trimmed

Facts About santo Domingo.

Such is the present day situation at
Santo Domingo. 1t is magnificent
island, one of the beauty spots of the
world, and has the finest climate ever
seen. 1t is inhabited and misruled by
mongrel population, which, in spite
of many virtues and abilities, is not,
and 1 fear never will be, of a type
strong enough and vigorous enough to
control its own destinies and advance
in the paths of civilization of its own
initiative. For its own good, and for
the good of the world in general, it
should be controlled by stronger ma
ton. 1t knows this, and wants that
nation to be the United States. But it
is superstitious and sees ghosts-and
they always wear the German helmet.
