great interest and delight. She cried:

When it becomes Salky and refuses to
so except by fits and starts the best
thing to do is to lay it aside and give it
rest. The mechanism in a tired
watch seems to be in perfect condition,
but it won't work. The fact is that
long and faithful service has thrown
it slightly out OF adjustment in perhaps
ten different places. Scraping and
cleaning and rcadjusting a fine watch
is the worst thing that could be done

the works slowly to readjust them.

to other people and another whose fad
was the saving of champaign corks.
1t is question which was the least
pleasing. Many people have fads that
are really elevating. There is rich
Englishman OF title, for instance, who
boasts that he has the largest collection
of butterflies in the world, and many
are the men of wealth, who make their
fad the collection Of rare diamonds, old
paintings, or antique furniture. J.
P;erpont Morgan, for instance, it is
said will buy anything of any kind that
is old or valuable. president Roose-
velt's fad is athletics and race suicide.
King Edward has fad for fine horses
and racing. Emperor William changes
his fad every month or so. Gen. Grant
had few enjoyments and few fads. It
has been said of him that he liked a
fast horses better than anything in the
world. One day, while he was out
driving. behind a particularly speedy
horse that was his especial pride, a
butcher boy driving shaggy little
pony. hitched to delivery wagon, beat
him with ease. Those who know the
man believe the statement that he
never rested content until he succeeded
in buying the horse from the butcher.
If all the anecdotes that have been
credited to Lincoln. really eminated
from him, his fad must have been
storytelling. Es3gSa a.
A great many people of ordinary
means have fads for the collection of
postage stamps and coins. Though
they appear harmless these fads
cost a great deal of money and there
is an instance on record where a man
starved himself to death rather than
part with any of his precious collec
tons of coins. There are really very
few collections of coins that are really
worth anything except to the collector.
Most collections are composed Of a
number Of coins that are worth only
two or three cents above their face
value. ~~-TE5----

A Fresh man.

A freshman who had entered one of
fhe large universities and was not
much accustomed to the ways either
OF institutions of learning or of cities
was returning late one evening from a
lecture. When near his lodgings he was
halted by two masked men, who held
him up" in true metropolitan style.
One OF the men leveled the convention
al revolver at the young man, while
the other relieved him OF his watch,

made no mention of the matter to any
body at the time. but few days later
he reported it to tie president of the

Panic OF The Financiers.

With j. Pierpont Morgan's special
visit to the President to insist that the
officials of the Eastern railroads be al
lowed to present the railroads needs
and Mr.. Hartman lurking around the
White House ready to break in at any
minute, unless Secretary Loeb and the
secret service men can keep him out,
there is something dong in Washing
ton. What President Roosevelt can do
is not at all clear. What kind of a
treaty of peace can be patched up to
help the railroads defeat two cent pas
senger fare ard other anti-railroad leg
islation in most of the States is dark
problem. The reformers in the States
evidently want to show the President
that they can do much more to curb
unreasonable rates than he has accom-
plished through Federal legislation.
How can President Roosevelt, if he
would, restrain his fellow reformers
in the several States? Or what can he
do to lessen the strain on the railroad
magnates in the interstate field? In
less he is willing to order the Inter
state Commerce Commission to stop
business and that he can hardly do,
Tor they are sworn to carry out the law
without fear or favor. The railroad
magnates are not united on plan of
action and do not seem to be pulling
together
Mr.. Morgan evidently judges there
is trouble ahead and Mr.. Stickney pre-
diets panic, but Mr.. Hartman seems
to think that the worst of the storm is
over, for he says: "We feel that we
are noW-all of us-the public, the
government and the railways on a COM
mon ground where we can deal with
each other in the right spirit" That
is very condescending of Mr. Hartman
and no doubt President Roosevelt will
be anxious to deal" with the railroad
magnates. 'in the right spirit" if he
deals with them at all.
The Wall street high financiers find

their theory that the public are fat
geese and can be constantly plucked

ment has made investors shy of rail-

Has The South Been Buncoed

The Interpretation of the new i'm
migration act by Attorney General
Bonaparte puts virtual veto on immi-
grafton to the Southern States as far
as organization effort to aid it IS con-
cerned, without radical modification
of methods.
The members of the Senate from the
Southern States foresaw this and were
opposed 10 the immigration bill and
had the power 20 defeat it, until they
were assured from a high source"
that the Administration would continue
the new law in favor Of assisted immi-
grafton in accordance with the decision
rendered by Secretary Straus in the
South Carolini case. Who gave this
assurance has not yet been revealed,
but to satisfy those Senators they were
safe in allowing the bill to become
law, 1T is certain they must have re-
ceived assurance from an authorita-
tives source for they would not have
withdrawn their opposition to the bill
/
on mere rumor.
! Thus the South strikes a snag it is
difficult to overcome and is buncoed at
present out of the immigration she
needs to increase her manufacturing
and farming interests. Immigrants do
not naturally go South for all the lines
of transportation on the ocean lead to
Northern ports and the railroads point
mostly to the West. The foreigners
that come to our shores know nothing
of the South as ali their information is
1.either by whas their friends already in
this country tell them or through the
advertising matter distributed by the
steamship lines. If small stream of
immigration could be turned to the
Southern States, it would become a
torrent, for the greater advantages of
the South in the matter of opportunity
and climate when known and the COM
| parative cheap price of land would an
peal to those from Southern Europe
seeking new homes. But the vast adj
vantages of the South for immigrants
cannot long be hid under a bushel
either by the intrigue of Republican
politicians or the Vaccinations of rival
manufacturing interests in other
/ States.
