DRAMA OF A WALL STREET PANIC
The Grlmness of H. c. Tricks Humor
 Lost on a Frenzled Mob.

W. A. Johnston in Broadway Magazine.
 March =. the day of the worst panic Wall street has known in years, saw many strange sights among the men who play the speculation game. Nowhere did ex- citement run higher than in the financial colony at the Waldorf. Throughout the afternoon the cafes and corridors of the Waldorf had reverberated with the echoes of a financial crash, which has gone down in the annals of "the uptown Wall street" marked with a big, bad red letter
 There had been a mighty, sickening scare. The bottom of the market had slid off so quickly, easily, inexcusably that the gamblers big and little, swore 1t had gone forever. Their nerve went with it.. They were left floating in the air with not single prop under them.
 Men did strange things from o'clock on that day and didn't know 1t. They walled and cursed and kicked. They made hyena faces at each other and blew smoke in each others eyes-all unconsciously. Thefy hurried hither and thither and back again, wrote telegrams and tore them up, gave orders to walters and countermand- ed them, called pages and discharged them, pulled their mustache till they smarted down to the very roots.
 They lost all sense of true proportions. One man who always bought the most expensive cigars by the thousand sneaked away to cigar case, purchased three for quarter and slipped two stealthily and gingerly into his pocket, as though they were million dollar gold certificates. Another man who was never known to count his change accused a waiter of robbing him of ten cents and demanded a wine list that he might verify the price of highballs.
 They lost all sense of humor. As H. c. Prick stepped out of an elevator, pale, distraught face, plucked at his coat sleeve.
 "Ah, MT. Prick" he entreated In a wheeding voice, "give me your idea of the marketl What do you think?"
 The big man looked gravely at his ques- tioner and opened his lips to reply. In twinkling a crowd of men with straining ears closed In about him.
 "The market said Prick, imperturb- ably. Why, I should say it was nearer the bottom today than yesterday" He smiled and walked away; but the humor- ous absurdity of his speech was lost to his hearers.
 Damn him." hissed the little pale man savagely. Tt wouldn't hurt him to loos- en up. He aint spittin' diamonds when he talks"
 The scene was at once trdsic ana riuicu- lous Human judgment always slumps with the market. Today not a vestige remained. Men who were used to think ing in thousands thought and acted In dimes. Prosperity, the greatest asset Wall street owns. faded away like a shadow at night; poverty, It's most hated liability. stared every hollow eyed man full in the face. One man who has lately purchased s600O automobile went about hawking 1t for $500. Some men in Aeir excite ment talked of selling Newport villas.

Nice to Have Money.

From the Baltimore Sun. It is nice to have money, but better, my
 honey, To have what no money can buy The dimples that wimple upon the sweet

 honey, To have what no money can bring The love and the glory of loves golden

With the truly artistic tempera-

notion of doubling its value by chang

A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning laurel

When you enter shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people

But, probably 1t is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than 1t will be to live It down

FOR THE DINING ROOM.
Nation Plate Rail IL Effective Form Of
Decoration.

Nothing adds so much to the appear
ance OF a dining room as rail up
near the top on which is displayed odd
bits of china, cut or fancy glass, or
pewter.
These plate rails may be made very
decorative or they can be absolutely
nideous. A tumble of color. for in
stance, is downright ugly, or, a rail
fuii OF china that does not harmonic
with the tone of the room, though the
separate pieces may not clash.
This defect can be overcome this
season by choosing for your decora-
ton nation plate rail- 1t will be both
artistic and inexpensive, or, at least,
comparatively So as the separate
plates can be bought for so cents and
less.
Each plate has the coat of arms of
different nation of the world, as
nearly as possible in the natural COL
ors.
There are, Of course, liberties taken
with them for artistic effect, but the
chief color Of the frieze is in these
emblems.
The whole thing is given touch of
harmony by the border which is alike
on all the plates. 1t is two tones of
olive green frightened by dashes of
red at regular intervals.
This treatment of plate rail would
De specially good for yellow room or
one In dull gray blue, as there is
enough red and bright green in the
coats OF arms to give warmth.

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
ST. Paul. Minnesota. On the windows
OF the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would 1t be pos
sibie to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of country pos
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But 1t was
the case. And apples too. Not Of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture. but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think.
When similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: That is much ahead OF any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, man.
Colds, pumpkins. and sQuashes are
away ahead Of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
Gems, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government Of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of SO for 100
acres. If adjoining land is wanted 1t
can be secured from the railway COM
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.

Washing China Silk.

A laundress who has success with
china silk waists says that they
should never have soap rubbed direct
~ upon them nor be put into hot
water. She makes a suds with white
soap and tepid water, washes the
waist in It, rinses it very thoroughly
In several tepid and cold waters, then
presses the water out as much as she
can with her hands without wringing,
folds it carefully so that there are few
creases, covers it with a white cloth
and passes 1t through the wringer.
When It Is about half dry she irons
1t with q cloth over it. This method
keeps the silk from turning yellow.
