comes a box at the theater or music
hall. During the intervals he will haunt
the stage door and try to see his IA
vorite actress, who by that time will
have received the bouquet 6fdered that
morning. Within the last few weeks
a favorite appearing at the Empire
has been the recipient of an anony-
nous gift in the shape of a lovely bou-
quet. The flowers were sent with un-
falling regularity, there being one ad-
ditional flower every night until the
bouquet attained such a wonderful
size that nothing had ever been seen
like it. The donor kept his identity for
some considerable time, but at last re-
vealed himself.
After Theater Dinners
Supper at one of the fashionable
restaurants or hotels is essential with
the gilded youth after the theater, to
which he usually takes one special fair
favorite. Nor does he neglect to attend
reception and bridge parties at fash
ionable houses where in a few even
ings he can add to or lessen his in
come by few hundreds. Nor must his
attendance at a gambling game be
omitted.
There are a number of innocent
houses IN WHICH, dIS a. NCl

gilded youth are class by themselves.
Some who keep up. perhaps, racing
establishment, steam yacht and back
heavily on horses, come crasher with
$780, 600 year. Others with beggarly
$50, 900, 100000 or $150,OO0 year scrape
along and ultimately turn out men OF
gift and honor. One has, however, only
to read the papers to see how constant
ly cards, horses. women and wine have
brought them to utter ruin.
1t is a mean, miserable and con-
temptible existence, killing time and
pitching money away on endless friv-
olities. when thousands of people are
starving. What ultimately becomes
of the gilded youth is mystery. Some
of them succeed to titles and estates
and become honorable citizens; Others
go abroad; some turn over a new
leaf and enter some profession in
which possibly they ultimately meet
with success, while Others go on killing
time and squander money until time

GOSPEL MEETING TONIGHT

Mr.. Kaute has lived alone in the
building near the entrance to the city
park since his wife died. his only COM
panions being two greyhounds.
After my wlfe's death l tired of the
gay crowd of dancers" he said. ''Some
day there might be trouble. If they are
holding church services here | am sure
there will be no trouble. 1 rented the
building to the people who are organic
ing a church in the addition near here.
am glad to have them here. 1 bought
the phonograph to play for the dances,
but it could play hymns just as well.
so / bought some new records"
Mr.. Kaute placed record in the
phonograph and a mans voice began to
sing:
Come we disconsolate. wher-er We lam
guish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently
kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts. here
tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that Heav'n cam
not heal
Mr.. Kaute wept at the words of the
hymn and his two dogs rubbed around
him. whining softly, and licked his
hands.
"They mourn with me-" he said. "See
them? They miss her, too and are
trying to tell me so. They sit all day
ana watch the cars LOT ner, Iney try
to ask me where she is"
Mrs. Kaute's suicide was caused by
worry over financial affairs. Before
they opened the store and dance pa
vilfon at the new city park, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kaute owned the largest restau-
rant in Armourdale. The food of 1903
destroyed the restaurant, Mr.. Kaute
saving only the two greyhounds who
are now his companions.

BuIlish Sentiment Prevailed In the

BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27-Sentiment in the
wheat pit was inclined to bullishness to-
day. At the start the market was in
fiuenced by comparative strength of the
wheat market at Liverpool, where prices
showed moderate gains. Trading during
the first part OF the session was quiet.
During. the second hour, however, more
animation was manifested and the mar
ket became strong. The upturn was due
largely to covering by shorts, who be-
came alarmed by the active buying Of
leading commission houses A good de-
mand for cash wheat also helped to slim
ulate the buying of options. The market
closed strong. December opened un-
changed to Nc higher al l5@I5Ac, sold UP
The corn market was easy early in the
day on selling by pit traders, but the close
was steady. December closed a shade
lower at 43ls@43Ac.
Trading in oats was dull and the mar
ket was about steady. December closed
