A first class journeyman tailor who Is both sensitive and ambitious must have more than his share of sadness and heartache. The completeness with which he is ignored by those who are made happy by his workmanship can not fail to cause him mental agony. The bosses know him and appreciate his work, and so do his fellow crafts men, but that is all. Beyond them he is unknown, unthought of. His work goes out into the world to delight and to be admired but It brings to him neither fame nor praise. He Is no more thought of or considered by those who wear with pride a garment he made than the sheep Is from whose back the wool was sheared that went to its maklng.-American Tailor and Cutter.

A ROMANTIC LEASE.
One Sweet Red Rose as the Rent For
 a Pennsylvania Farm.

a Pennsylvania farm.
 The public is generally conversant with the annual custom of paying ''0ne red rose" as ground rental in eastern Pennsylvania churches to the descend ants of those who gave the ground for the edifices, but 1t Is not generally known that hundreds of owners of farms are under similar obligation, says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib- une.
 "Red rose rent" is yearly paid every second Sunday in June In the Lutheran church at Mannheim, Lancaster county; in the Tulpehocken Reformed church, about sixteen miles west of Reading, and In several editices in Lebanon county, while several congregations in Berks are entitled to observe the event. but do not
 Roses paid on these occasions to rep resentatlves of families whose ances- tors made such provisions are treas ured as priceless helrlooms, and at Mannheim they have come from many states.
 It Is known to few that more than 160 years ago great tracts of farm land were sold around Reading with the same stipulation. It is estimated that at least 10000 acres of land in Berks are subject because of clause In the original deeds to an annual ground rent of one red rose
 Records of the Berks courthouse show that many years before Baron Stigel provided for the payment of red rose rent by the church at Mannheim Caspar Wistar sold land containing the same clause.
 Red rose rent is mentioned in con nection with land in TulpehOcken, Mar ion, MaXatawny, Oley and other town ships. It dates back to TBS.
 The Tulpehocken Reformed church Is built on land that is subject to "one red rose" quit rent The land was owned by Caspar Wistar, brass button manufacturer of Philadelphia. The red rose rent mas been paid to the Philadel- phia descendants of Caspar Wistar for some years. The most notable ob- servance was in 1902. when thirty prominent Philadelphia Wistars at tended the services and were paid 157 red roses in payment of arrears of rent.
 John Page, described as ga gentle man from London" was another ex- tensive real estate speculator in the early colonial period. He planned to establish q feudal barony along the Tulpehocken in 1735. Every deed of land sold by him contained the red rose clause.

CASSIE CHADWICK
Shadow All that Remains of Former
 Queen of High Finance

A year behind the walls of the pen itentiary has transformed Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, formerly of Euclid ave nue, Cleveland, one of the most notOri. ous woman swindlers in the criminal annals of the world, from an aristo. cratic "lady," plumed with all the gor- geOus fnery that thoustnds of dollars could buy, to a wan, prison-p pallored woman, broken in spirit and body.
 By orders from the government, some time within the next ten days Mrs Chadwick is to be transferred from the Ohio penitentiary to the government prison at Moundsville, W. Va, where she will complete her ten-year sentence for the ruin brought about by her as- founding financial transactions.
 For the first time since the second i'm prisonment of Mrs. Chadwick, photo graph of the so-called witch of finance has escaped beyond the office of the penitentiary, where the prison records are kept. The two poses shown were taken in anticipation of the transfer of the woman to another prison. It is the first photograph of the woman show, ing the famous female swindler as she actually appears adorned with con vict's number and dressed in prison clothes.
 Less than three years ago Mrs. Chadwick was living in a palatial home. She was driving about the streets of this city in an automobile, and bor- rowing immense sums of money, as if it were water She would hardly be rec ognized now by those with whom she engaged in big transactions in the days of her regal splendor
 Interest in the transactions of Mrs. Chadwick have been revived by the order for her transfer. With Mrs. Chadwick, number of other federal prisoners will be transferred from the Ohio penitentiary. A. B. Spear, cashier of the Oberlin bank, who was ruined in the Chadwick crash, will be taken to the Atlanta, Ga, prison to complete his sentence, as will W. E.

GOLD MOVEMENT GROWING.
Over s5O,Ooo,oOO Engaged Up to
Situation Better.

New York, November 4.-The fin
alUcial situation made further pro-
gress today toward the resumption of
normal conditions. Gold was engaged
to bring the total for this movement
up to more than $50,0O0.OOO, an un-
precedented acquisition Of the yellow
metal inthe history Of New York fin
ance: the bank statement was more
favorable than had been expected,
showing a loss of but $4,313,00O in the
banks cash holdings, and the stock
market was firm, most Of the active
*hares showing advances on the days
trading. The bank statement does
not show the full benefits Of the gold
received from London. as the state
ment is calculated on basis OF
averages for each day Of the week
and the greater part Of the gold was
received late in the week. Thus a
statement of the condition OF the
banks at the close Of today would
show their cash surplus to! be much
larger than under the average system
of computations. Next week taere
will be more arrivals Of gold and al!
Of that received this week will figure
for the 1uii week 50 that next weeks
statement is expected to show large
gains in reserve. While the deficit
in the reserve is $51,000,000, it
should be noted that the cash on hand
is sill 20 per cent Of all deposits. IN
