 The Standard OiI Letters

October, 1905, the saloon partnership was dissolved. and Stump disappeared. Later he was so hard up as to take a Job on the street railway as con- ductor. Such warm friends of his as Phillip Wagner, the well-known un- dertaker and livery stable man of IA West. Nineteenth street, have been un- able to trace him. His crossing the color line In women threw him out or touch with his fons-tims associates.
 After stump left Winnheid, and took the path that led him out of sight of all his old familiars, While went 1t alone in the saloon, with Wilkins as manager, but finally he grew tired and pulled out In September. 1907. he went with his wife to Chicago. Since April. 1908, he and his wife have lived with his stepfather in the Tarrytown home He has had abaundant spend- Ing money in these last three years. with occasional ebb-tide times.
 On Friday afternoon, October g. at , D. m. at No. 35 North Washington street. Tarrytown, Willie said to me:

But there'n be big thing for him and for me, too, if land him inside the month. After the next few weeks there's nothing doing. I don't want him after that"

 How much is there In 1t for me-, The episode will drive Willie outs of Tarrytown, and will throw Stumn out or his job. It will give them some more unhappiness in place of easy money while 1t will scarcely annoy MT Archbold and Mr. Hearst. And yet these obscure men are not the most guilty parties of the now famous Archbold- 'Foraker- Hearst episode. They are the sad little pawns of the WeL-hldden players. It is a pity if in, dramatizing them. we have obscured the main offenders in our 1908 show The act of uncovering them at least reveals what is done to human nature by the secret agencies of men who nave grown ruthless in success.

soUrHERN,s FINANCES.
Plans Being Made to Care for Maturing Bonds.

Plans Being Made to Care for Maturing Bonds. l Wall Street Summary.
 Tentative plans are under discussion for financing next years maturing ob- ligatIons of the Southern Railway Company.
 Although the company will not be in need of fresh funds for some months. the question of taking up its bonds
 which fall due April l next. has been under consideration in an informal way by bankers connected with the property. At the time $16,000 900 col lateral trust five per cent bonds of the company, which were issued in 1904, will have to be provided for. and it may be stated on authority that while full details of the plan have not yet been worked out. the company will have no difficulty in meeting this pay mept. Banking interests associated with the company stand ready to ad- vance the required amount of money.
 If financial conditions are then such as to make advisable the sale of long term bonds this is the method which will probably be pursued in raising money to pay of the five year collater- al trust issue referred to. This com pany has s2OO, GOO 900 development and general mortgage bonds authorizer, only $20.000,00O of which. has even been sold. In case the company should not be able to secure q satisfactory price for new bond issue, 1t Is thought likely that the maturing notes will be extended. or a new issue sold From the general improvement and financial conditions, however, and the decided picking up in the earnings of the Southern Railway Company during the present year, bankers are rather con fident that by the time new money will be required. the company will be able to realize fairly good price for it's bonds. On February l. 1910 the com pany has 5,000,000 five per cent de- benture notes falling due. These also. 1t may be stated. will be taken care of In due time.

Whsrc Idols Are Eaten.

At certain seasons In some parts of
India it is the duty of every devout
person to eat special sort of confec-
tionery. Every confectioner in Octo-
Der. for instance, has a pole about six
feet high at his door, and to this is
nailed a great hook about q foot long
and thick in proportion On one side
of this is a brisk fire, with a huge
earthen pan on it. Before the pan a
man may be seen sitting, for nobody
stands when he can sit, with a kind of
wooden ladle, and with this he briskly
stirs quantity of bubbling, black
looking sugar till 1t becomes quite
tough. He then scrapes 1t together
and puts it on piece of board to cool
little, and then, getting up and dex-
terously throwing it on the large hook,
he begins to pull out the tough sub
stance. He draws it out to the length
of four or five feet at time and throws
1t back and elongates it again, and so
he manipulates 1t till the mass becomes
as white IS snow. This composition so
treated is manufactured In all sorts of
sacred fornis-figures of little idols and
gods-and is eagerly bought for con-
umption.-Strand Magazine.

she caught on to mechanical devices.

as late as she was. in fact. Then in

The Letter M,


The Hebrew name of NJ was Mem,
water, and it is curious to note that
the original form of this character In
the most ancient manuscript is wav-
ing line, which to the not too particu-
lar ancients represented water. By
some philologists the letter NJ as used
by the Phoenicians is supposed to have
come from a picture representing the
human face, the two down strokes rep
resentihg the contour of the counte-
nance, the V stroke signifying the
nose, the two dots. long since disused,
and stroke beneath the represent
ing the eyes and the mouth. The old
Phoenician form of the letter does in
deed bear comical sort of resem-
blance to the human face

A Little Gard Trick.

A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services
On one occasion, having particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re-
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to the extreme
scandal of the congregation. The wit
ty priest, however, was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion of the
service he beckoned up one of the
choristers and asked him the names of
several of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the next
saints day, which the child could not
tell.
"Seew cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. You teach your
children the names of every card in
the pack and leave them ignorant OF
their religion. Let this be the last
time l am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.-London Answers.

that no county funds were available
