TOO WILLING.

Do you love me as dearl. as men have ever loved women?" said Mabel, finding an easy anchorage for her cheek about the latitude of his left shoulder.
 More" said George, with waning enthusiasm, for this was about the twentyfourth encore to which he had responded since eight o'clock. More. far more, deary Oh, ever so much more."
 Would you." she went on, and there was a tremulous impressiveness in her voice would you be willing to work and wait for me as Jacob wait ed for Racnel at the we'll, seven long years?"
 "Seven.' he cried, in burst of gen. uine devotion. "Sevenl" Aye, gladly! Yes, and more Even until seven times seven. Let's make it 70, and prove my devotion"
 Somehow or other he was alone when he left the parlor a few minutes later, and it looks now as though he would have to wait TOO years before he saves fuel by toasting his toes at the grate in that parlor again.

MANY stories were circulated in lH1 Wall street as to the causes of the retirement of John w. Gates and the coterie of Westerners who plunged so heavenly in stocks.
 The trend of most of these stories is to the effect that while Mir. Gates is still worth millions in common with many of the rich men in Wall street he was caught in the big decline of March Ii last.
 The heavy liquidation in many of the low-priced stocks that took place recently is looked upon as evidence of Gates house cleaning before his final retirement from the street.
 According to story circulated in the street, MT. Gates was very large holder of Tennessee Coal X Iron, Re- public Iron & Steel and United States Realty X Improvement. These stocks he is said to have accumulated with view to holding them as permanent investments.
 During the recent decline it is be- heVed that these stocks were freely used as collateral in his other stock market transactions and when the big stump came the bankers whom MT. Gates approached to assist him in ar. ranging his affairs over the crisis sug. sested that he was rich enough to re- ure from hazardous speculation and that his retirement would be made a condition of banking aid.
 MT Gates agreed that this was so. ana, It is said. readily acquiesced to the arrangement.
 AS matter of fact, Mir. Gates was '.noroughtly disgusted with some of ihs customers. who had failed to re- spond to his call for margins.

Several hearings were held last
 week on what has been known as the
 'car stake case" before the interstate
 commerce commission, says Wash
 ington writer. The railroads all over
 the country have been transporting
 much of the billions of feet of lumber carried annually on fiat cars, and to do this it has been necessary to place stakes along the sides of the cars to Keep the lumber in place. The rail- roaas have forced the shippers to thus equip the cars in accordance with the rules of the Master Car Builders as- sociation. It seems like little mat ter, the cost of equipping Il car being only S4. But in the aggregate it costs the lumber men of the country about S6.0o0O00 a year. They claim that there should be properly equip- ped cars with permanent stakes fur nished by the railroad companies and a number of iron stakes, folding stakes. and the like have been patent cd. The lumbermcn claim that some of these will serve the purpose. but the railroad insists that the problem has not yet been solved, and that it remains for some inyeutiye .cnjuS, to perfect stake that will answer the call when fat ear is loaded with lumber and will be out of the way when the car is wanted for something else. The Commission has taken the case under advisement, and it has not yet been decided who shall foot the bill for equipping the cars.
