Ole Speculator


Inere are men who may be said t
assimilate best with the condition ol
war, pestllence or famine. They cal
never do the drud2ery necessary to
small beginning. Give one Of then
| the assurance that by working in O
humdrum field for few years he may
secure not only competence, but for
tune, and he will not be able to bring
himself to suffer the restraint and en-.
dure the steady labor required But be
will thrive under adversely.
Bushnell Bugbee vas one OF this
kind He had been given a splendid
opportunity by an uncle to work up
from a subordinate position to succeed
his uncle, who was chlldless, In the
management OF the business. He
proved himself Incompetent, only dis
tinguishing himself once, when the
store caught fire. Then his was the
only cool head about the premises, and
he saved the place from destruction.
His uncle finally discharged him, and
he drifted, doing nothing till, when at
the lowest ebb, be married. He said
he thought marriage would settle him.
Perhaps better statement OF the case
would be that the condition Of mar
ried man with no income would create
conditions under which be could act.
At any rate 1t did.
He had hundred dollars at the time
Of his marriage, and be proceeded to
lose that at game Of faro. Then one
morning when he and his wife had
nothing IN the house for breakfast he
started out to find some means Of bet
tsring bis condition. strolling along
street aimlessly with his hands In his
pockets, he came to stone front dwell
ing, from the stoop of which protruded
red flag, denoting an auction. There
is something in this symbol when hung
from such place denoting trouble.
Ten to one those who have lived In the
house died or failed In business or met
with some calamity to render the sale
necessary. Possibly 1t was some such
thought that led Bugbee to enter. He
found splendid house with fine furni-
ture Of an Olden type that was to be
sold under the hammer. He looked the
property over with the critical eye of
one who was considering whether 1t
was good enough for him.
A crowd was gathering, and present
ly the auctiOneer mounted table and
called for a bid. Some one started with
an offer Of $4,000, which was not half
the value of the property. The bidding
was spirited till $4,000 was reached,
when all but two bidders dropped out.
One Of these seemed determined to Sc.
cure what was evidently bargain,
and the other after yying with him
till the figure of $4,000 was reached
gave up the contest and withdrew.
At this juncture Bushnell Bugbee
felt stiff piece of paper slipped into
his hand, and u downward glance told
him it was Dank bill. At the same
time a man standing next to him whis.
pered to him to bid against the win.
ner Bugbee, who was getting hungry
for his breakfast. obeyed, He raised

KNAPP SEES PEACE AHEAD.

Railway men in the future will
be found co operating with all well.
considered measures regulating and
controlling commerce between the
States, according to Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Mr.. Knapp,
who is looked upon as conserva-
tive, takes a roseate and hopeful
view of the railroad situation.
He expresses the view that there
will be cordial understanding
between the railways and the
public, and that great good to the
country will result therefTom. In
an in erview he said he thinks an
abundance of capital will be found,
in time, to make needed extensions
and Improvements to carry the
constantly growing traffic of the
country.
Chairman Knapp asserted that
for many years there had
been a marked tendency toward
higher ideals in the conduct and
management of railroad properties
in this country. The same tend
ency, he said, was observable in
every sphere of business activity.
"When men say there has been
no improvement, when they say
that things are going from bad to
worse" he said, "they indicate to
my mind a quickened public con-
science, which now condemns
sharply what was not long age
accepted with tolerance, if not ap-
prevail. For example, the initiation
of Chicago and Alton, recently
brought to the public notice, has
provoked extreme indignation in
every quarter. But so far from
being an isolated or unique per
Torrance, it would be easy to fine
numerous operations at about thu
same period of time, much more
fragrant and inexcusable.
"I wish to emphasize the point
that the average man to-day
recognizes as never before the NOR
. al delinquency of many transac
tions, which, not so long ago, wer
looked upon as rather praise
worthy conception of business en-
terprise. Applying this view es
pecially to railway management,
find great encouragement in tn
conviction that railroad managers
of high and low degree, almos
without exception, have now com
to accept with sincerity and I'm
: reserve the principle and policy @
Federal regulation. Not only d
e they accept it in spirit of obedi
e fence to law, but more significantly
as I think, because they recog
nize that it is right"
d Chairman Knapp believes ther
. will be supplemental railroad leg
\ islation, but it will have the ap
\ prevail OF railway men as well a
D the public.
