Stockholders Play Horse
Stockholders of New York are just
as ready for a lark as their brethren
in Pittsburg but they have more OPP
portunity here because of the "curb."
A young woman with a bundle of
magazines assailed the curb brokers
today and insisted upon selling her
wares. So persistent was she that an
elder member of the fraternity played
hero Business was suspended and he
began to auction off the magazines.
The market price was rapidly bid up
from ten cents to thirty-five cents and
the books of the young woman were
disposed of at that price. While the
auction was under way the brokers
enjoyed themselves smashing each
others hats until a policeman, GUS
todian of the curb, led the woman
away. In strange contrast to this
stroke of sympathy and gallantry was
the spectacular rise in shares of Con-
solidated Traction company. The curb
had been making a price of "a, although
most of them looked upon the company
recently incorporated at Albany as
Joke. Some one discovered that firm
had sold 1900 shares short. Then the
fun began and the boom did not end
until 500 was reached. The sudden re-
action to TN indicated that the curb
contingent had made the unfortunate
firm settle at that price. Green hats
adorned the curb brokers Saturday and
as a result there was the usual wild hat
smashing contest.

First Flower Of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign of spring, its
pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
dubious plants like the baking hot IL
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best
in partial shade.
