ROOM 1T THE TOP.

There's always room at the top, and there's always a top. At times the top may seem little crowded, but it soon becomes roomy. There is soon going to be considerable room at the top in Wall street. Mir. Sage has recently dropped out, James R. Keene, the greatest of market operators, either bull or bear, is 6S years old; J, Pierpont Morgan, com monly acknowledged to be the king of promotion, Is 69; Henry Clews is 72, Jacob schiff is 59, Henry H. Rogers is 67, John D. Rockefeller is 67, William Rockefeller is 65, Henry o. Hayemeyer is 50, James J. Hill is 6S.
 So they go and will go. Ambitious and able ones will succeed them and perhaps do as we'll or as i'll as they have done. Anyhow, the players of the great game will change, and the game will change some. even If 1t has chang ed since the days of Gould, Fisk and the others of that crowd.

The Clown.

Once upon a time a man-in Calcutta, Hindoostan-- Thought he'd like to own circus just for fun So he hired from the town a most fas- cinating Clown To assist him; and he found him Just the one For he'd travel west and east to consult with bird and beast, And persuade them, in his charming way, to meet Near the city of Khartoum, where they'd have abundant room Tor the cages rings and sideshows on the street. Now, the circus, all confess, was won- derful success. And the Ostrich. with her feathers, proved the belle. The Orang -outang with ease swung up- on high trapeze, While kicking Kangaroo performed as well. Some large Bulls, from far Madrid made living pyramid How Lhe leaping Leopard cleared 1t with 4 bound! Then an agile Ape, of course, jumped through hoops upon q horse, And an Elephant threw daggers at Hound People came from near and far just to see the Jaguar And 2 Tapir trip the trolley, With Seal, And Salmon shoot the chute. while a Falcon played a flute When the Lion looped the loop upon a wheel. On the whole. they did so well-from the Gnu to the Gazelle-- That it truly was wondrous sight to sec! And they all had been so good that their master said he should Now release them from their promise they were free. Said the Yak: Were quite content Nc, we really can't consent, But Ill tell you what the animals will do As we much prefer to roam, and we do not sigh for home, We will travel for, perhaps, year or two" All rejoined: Its just the thing; we will meet, then, every spring For we never will be parted from tho Clownl" So it's possible you may see the circus some flne day. And the long procession going through the town

NOT so YARY EAST.

Many people have a notion that when a man gets to be bishop in England he doesn't have to work as hard as he had to before he was bishop, or as hard as he perhaps had to to become A bishop. But Bishop Lawrence, who has lately been among English bishops, tes- tifies that their lot is not an easy, even if it Is happy, one. These prelates of the Church of England, although they have large salaries and palatial homes, yet are forced to work like hired men. It is significant that they are generally taking up the automobile, not for pleas ure, but as the only means of covering the ground they have to travel. Bishop Lawrence tells of one bishop by whom he was entertained, and who had a dozen guests that day. He was up for the early communion, officlated at the Cathedral, drove fifteen miles for an afternoon confirmation, five miles for an evening visitation, and was not home in the palace to rest his seventy year-oId body until Il o'clock at night. The Archbishop of Canterbury has from one to thirty guests every day, and the Archbishop of York soothed Bishop Lawrence's protest that the lat ters party of eight was too large with the statement that he had twenty-five guest chambers.
 It is true that, as rule, the English bishops manage to look as if they were not greatly worried, but perhaps that comes from their knowledge that they are safe in this world and the next, With that knowledge man can work hard if he has to and not fret much,

THE LArE>r FRoM THE oKAp1.

The Okapi isn't running for office this fall, but he is running, and there is a rather general desire to know how and why he runs. Major Percy Powell Cotton, who has just returned to Eng land from Africa, after ten months futile quest after specimens of the re- gently discovered Okapi, furnishes some additional information in regard to that elusive beast. By the pygmies. with whom he hunted, he was told that the Okapi generally wanders about alone. The male and female invariably feed apart, although they and their family of one may frequent the same part of the forest. The female even leaves her young one, born about the month of May, hidden in the undergrowth, and returns to feed 1t at short intervals. Timidity and clealiness are two strik- ing features of the creature Its senses of hearing and smelling are so acute that the noise of pygny's axe cutting out honey from tree, or the most gdls- tant whiff of man, are enough to make it desert q favorite feeding ground and vanish into the depths of the forest, It is also q restless feeder. continually on the alert, and 1t never lies down to rest for any length of time in the same place The Ituri Okapi carefully avoids muddy or boggy ground, but almost al- ways drinks at a clear running stream. In wet weather 1t seeks shelter in the bushy undergrowth, or even under an abandoned native roof to lick the rain and mud from it's glossy coat, which looks like that of a well groomed horse. It is generally while the animal is en-

VANISHING.

There used to be buffaloes in this country-millions of them. Now there are not hundreds, and great care is be- ing taken to prevent the entire extinc- tion of the animals, There used to be Democrats in this country-mlllions Of them. Now there Is a question # there are any real Democrats. Those who want to be Democrats don't know how to be, and there is nobody to tell them. What is happening is well illustrated m the case of Charles H. Caswell, once chief engineer of the United States navy. He is 97 years old and lives in New York city. He voted for Andrew Jackson. He has been voting Demo- cratic tickets for seventy-six years, He proudly thought he was the oldest Democrat in New York city. But he Is Hughes man this year He has no use for Hearst, T thank God that ne won't be elected says the old Jackson man.
 Probably MT. Caswell wont live to be a Democrat again, and perhaps nobody now living will ever again be sure what it is to be a Democrat. It is perhaps everlastingly too late to secure speci- mems of Democrats for preservation in museums. Yale ought to have one if there is any. Places like New Haven and Hamden, which were once infested with Democrats, should be promptly and carefully searched.

It is the little things that are big. Victorien sardou has said that he owed his first success on the stage to his ex- cellent handwriting. He had sent in an often-rejected play to the Odeon management for consideration and the manuscript was thrown, with some fifty others, on the table. One day at rehearsal the charming actress, Mile. Berengere, was attracted by the hand writing and took up the manuscript. crying: What an excellent hand!" This caused her to read the play and her strong recommendation to the di- rectors led to its reading and accept ance by them. Sardou is now wealthy.

In London the latest thing is a "bill of eat" that you may finish your meal on. The sheet on which 1t is printed is the sugar paper used on the bottom of macaroons, while the lettering is cake frosting. The London caterer who in- vented the edible meru card has been honored by the patronage of the king.

 covered that their menu "cards" were good to eat. They promptly ate them.

E. J. Watson, South Carolina's com missioner of immigration, has earned his salary lately. "One of the greatest difficulties" he writes, "has been in the fact that there was no transatlantic steamship line entering a South Atlan- tic port carrying third-class passen- gers. During the month that I have been in Europe I have succeeded in having this defect cured, in a measure, by inducing the directorate of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company to make the experiment. looking to the es- tablishment of a permanent line be- tween Bremen and the port of Charles ton, and the first ship is to sail on Oc- tober IS. This puts within our grasp the means of carrying the agricultural and laboring immigrant direct to a sec tion in which remunerative work and a good home await him"

Made Famous by Byron
Castle of Chilon lmmortalzed by the Glorious
Verses of the British Poet

By far the bestknown building in
Switzerland is the Castle of Chillon.
Byron's poem on its famous prisoner
has given 1t an undying celebrity,
which otherwise it would not have
had. for 1t Is no more interesting in
itself than many other buildings of
the middle ages surviving in the
Swiss republic, although perhaps the
best specimen intact.
So exalted is the place held by the
Castle of Chillon in the minds OF read
ers of Byron and lovers OF travel, that
thousands visit 1t yearly, and look
upon it as sacred monument to the
poet and to Downward, the patriot,
who, but for the chance detention OF
BYRON at an inn at Ouelry, a village
on Lake Leman, not far from Chillon,
would long since have been forgotten.
Byron improved his time while
storm-bound for two days by writing
The Prisoner of Chillon," from story
ne had heard in the course of tour
