WALL STREETS sHoRN LAMBS.
Never Seen Among the Gay Crowds
About the Bio Hotels.


What becomes Of the men who lose
in Wall street? They are seldom heard
of. The visitor to New York gets the
notion that the gay crowd Of men at
the Waldorf-the uptown Street.
comprises them all. But this crowd is
altogether misrepresentation and has
no true sign value, says writer on
Wall street in the New Broadway
Magazine. You can retain your equi-
librium easily in watching them, by
remembering that Walker Of New Bri-
tain, is hiding somewhere, a fugitive
from justice; that Bigelow Of Milwau-
kee, is in prison; that there are many
other men who went down hard with
big crashes, and that, for every one Of
the big men, there are 10000 little men,
whose losses are smaller but not one
whit less fatal. You would find some
Of them tonight in New York II you
knew in what window to look, figuring
anxiously and endlessly, looking over
insurance papers to see IL further loans
are permissible. Their wives are sew
ing; their daughters are studying ste
biography. You will find others hang
ing about hotel Hobbies, and the mo-
ment you catch their eye, or grip their
hands, you know that they are nerv-
Gus, distraught, broke, restless-typical
Wall street victims.
The others, professionals, parasites,
satellites, winners, you will find in the
cafes and hotel restaurants, making
up a large part Of the crowds at Sher-
rys and Delmonico's, Martins and
Rectors, the Waldorf, Manhattan, As
tor, st. Regis and Holland House.
Wall street, by day, demands the Great
White Way at night. From the mo-
ment the market opens till its close
the game is a fast and furious one Of
sharp trickery, clever lodging, rail-
lery, bluffing, hypocrisy, lying. Nerves
are constantly tense; the brain must be
clear and quick at every move. Sue
cessful lying uses up gray matter. and
the flash and festivity Of the Tender
loin at night is just unnatural enough
to fit in and offer the kind Of recrea-
ton desired.

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
After Sc Days Session, During Which
Time but One Important
Bill was Passed,
And Il Nay be EuIltled.-Special Session Appro
PIRATES Over sSOo,Ooo.OO More than
Revenues viii Raise.

IT'S finished: the thunders
are hushed on the floor. and the
bodies that knew them once may
know them nc more.
The adjournment of this session
was marked with unusual GOOD
feeling and while every member
and every attache were glad to
get away, glad to get to their
homes, yet feeling Of sadness
prevailed. for fourteen of the
thirty senator's terms have ex-
PRED by law, unless another ex-
ira session Is called: while no
member of the house will return
again unless he is reelected.
1t was a parting Of the ways
the parting Of many men who
have formed strong attachments
in the past ffty-six days, who
may never see each other again,
The legislature that adjourned
eleven days since, passed no
measure Of special state import
ance except the two-cent fare
bill. which is now declared I'M
constitutional, not on account of
its classifying railroads, but on
account of its discriminating fea-
ture and it is authoritatively
stated that it will be tested by
the G. & o. and N. & w. as soon
as the law becomes effective and
in operation.
This extraordinary session
which adjourned last night pass
ed a bill fixing the license year on
the first day Of July instead of
May 1. as at present. 1t passed
an appropriation bill which calls
for the enormous sum of SO, 1923,
600 for the years 1907 and 1908
while the revenue bills passed
will only produce the SUM of 81,
$40, 600 which will leave a deficit
in the state treasury at the end
of 1908 of 1913, 900.
The only way this can possibly
be kept out of the printed fnan-
cial statements Of the auditor Is
to juggle the funds, as is done at
times in bank statements. Be
this as 1t may, the deficit above,
only as license taxes
vary, little more or a little less.
will confront the next regular
session Of the legislature.
The governor was poweless to
this condition, as certain
senator's whom he says serve
special interests and not the re-
publican party, or true tax re-
form, or the people, assisted In
defeating certain bills that would
have provided abundant revenue
and after defeating thes bills as
sisted in making the appropria-
lion bill as large as possible"
From the above it Is safe TO
that the governor will
whack off some juicy items now
attached to.the appropriation bill.

Milo.

Dear Editor Will you please
allow me space in your columns
for a few items from this place.
There is a thriving business be-
ing done at ]. J. Bailey's by the
Hardly Able Sawmill Co. Wayne
q Dent George Jackson has
also done a thriving business.
He has lately finished his set,
containing two rabbit boxes, and
in a few days will set up on Two
Lick to thin out the timber there,
if it be possible to thin out the
timber where there is none.
George Bailey is still logging
on the waters ofthe West Fork
and A. w. Bailey is setting UP a
blacksmith shop on the head of
Fink. He is black enough, but
whether he is the smith or not, l
cannot say.
We think the best Of all the
scenes is that awful corn field be-
ing cleared by Haverty and Dent.
They have the wind work done,
but the brush is still there and
perhaps will be for some time,
but in their mind corn will sell
for one half the usual price in
another year. But if that was
the only chance, the little ones
would cry for bread instead of
reducing the price Of corn.
There is a grand and glorious
work being done at the mouth of
Mill run, in the vineyard of the
Lord. The Word is going out
that the dead are alive; the lost
are found, and wanderers are
turning home to Christ and being
saved from sin.
There is a great deal of sick
ness in this locality. S. ]. Wayne
is very llow. His recovery was
once doubted, but he is slowly
mending now and, with care, we
think he will be all right There
are several other patients under
the Doctors care and we would
like to see them so they could en-
JOY health and go about their bus
mess.
1t is said by a great many in
this locality that the adopted son
of M. H. Dents is going to leave
him forth with and erect for
himself a home somewhere in this
land Of ours. 1t is said that
Haverty and Jackson have an or
der to fill for his household and
kitchen furniture.
1.-THE blacksmith gets the girl
he is now looking after, C. c..
will have the grandest daughter
in-law in all the land near this
little town Of Milo.

my foolishnes, asking you to not
let this miss the columns sof our

The lovers of heart rending, tear
bringing melodrama, would doubt
less welcome play !based on the
tragedy enacted in Culpeper county,
Virginia, when James and Philip
Strother took the life OF William
Bywaters for the ruin and attempt
cd desertion OF their sister. By
waters was hunter and horseman.
Viola Strother was q conAding girl,
her brothers were men who "some-
times carried rovo1Yers for their per-
Aonal safety" To weave the plot as
the testimony ia the case would
warrant would make one OF the
most pathetic stories ever written.
The lonely wait Of the girl at res-
taursnt at the city OF Washington
while Bywaters was supposed 10 be
after his mail, tho anxiety he felt
for his own name, bus his utter dis
regard for the girls feelings would
easily serve to stamp Bywaters az
the villain. His tragio death on the
porch roof while Attempting 10
leave bis bride OF an hour which
makes a fitting climax, while the
clearing o. the brothers for defend
inga sisters honor would gain the
sanction Of the house Take it All
around, it is tragedy to put heart
strings to tho test.
