cruikshank at Eighty.

Among the many people whose ac-
Quaintance made in Richardson's
rooms was old George Cruikshank. /
happened incidentally to remark that
/ wasn't very well, when Cruikshank
In his genial manner exclaimed: What?
Not well? A powerful young fellow
like you ought to be ashamed Of your
self to talk Of being unwell! Here,
let me see You do this
HE sprang up, took the tongs and
poker from the fireplace, crossed them
on the floor like swords and then,
whistling his own air, danced high
land sword dance with great agility
and accuracy, keeping 1t up for at
least q quarter Of an hour. As he
threw himself into chair, somewhat
exhausted by his efforts, he said,

Lavish Expenditures For Toys Fer
Poor Children at Christmas.
Mrs. Cassie NJ. Chadwick. who diet'
in the Ohio penitentiary recently, upon
pure nerve" alone mulcted men out
of more money than they have been
swindled out of in this country since
the days of the Mississippi bubble. At
least three banks failed through the
Carnegie" notes she palmed upon
them. Not fewer than dozen well
established business houses went to
the wall on her account. The suicide
OF more than one man and the impov-
erishment Of probably hundreds Of
families may be laid at her door.
A remarkable feature of Mrs. Chad
wick was her dread Of red headed per-
sons. She rang up an employment
agency in Cleveland one day and asked
them to send around maid to her
apartment. The maid arrived, and be-
cause her hair was red she was told
her services We're not wanted The
agency was appealed to, and another
girl was sent around. Mrs. Chadwick
noticed that this girl also had q large
mass Of Titan hair.
"Go away; get out Of my sight," Mrs
Chadwick screamed at her. "Go back
to the agency and tell the manager not
to send any more red headed girls. l
won't have them around
Another favorite habit Of hers was to
order three cabs at once. She said she
would ride only behind bay horses,
and, fearful that black horse or gray
one might be sent If she ordered one
cab, she had three sent around In
order to have her pick.
Mrs. Chadwick was eccentric when
1t came to shopping, but she bought
and bought so literally that every last
one of the clerks was only too glad
to wait on her. If she was buying
dress goods and velvets-and the fin
est kind of imported goods were her
particular choice-she would say,
'rNever mind measuring it; send the
whole piece" Sometimes part Of the
piece would be returned, but more Of
ten the whole Of it would be kept.
What she did with all the stun she
bought was mystery.
Florists tell how Mrs. Chadwick
would pick up little child on the
street and lavish flowers Of the most
costly kind on the youngster. Often,
they say, children would 60 out on the
street laden with the costilest Of roses,
orchids, violets or whatever flower
happened to be in season at the time.
Just before Christmas several years
ago Mrs. Chadwick walked into a
Cleveland toy store and pulled out a
written list that, according to the store
officials, was two yards long. Nothing
but toys was on the list, and when
Mrs. Chadwick had finished buying
her bill was in the neighborhood of
$500. Dolls galore were bought, Mrs.
Chadwick saying that she wanted
something like hundred, the price to
range from 81 to So each. Personally
she made no selections, leaving that to
the clerks who had waited on her,
but when the bill was presented 1t was
paid at once. The toys were distribute
ed among orphan asylums and the diff
ferent children's wards In the hospi-
tails, and many heart was gladdened
that Christmas by the benevolence of
an unknown person, as Mrs. Chadwick
expressly stipulated in buying the
goods that the recipients must not
know where they came from.

PERTINENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Up in Grand Forks day or so ago
a young boy was shot and killed by
another boy, both being barely in
their teens. The shooting was done
with a revolver, and the possession
and careless use of the weapon was
largely due to the influence of dime
novel reading, bad companionship,
and a general youthful depravity
arising from the fact that the boy
who did the shooting was permitted
to roam the streets at unreasonable
hours, engage in evil pastimes and
become otherwise fitted for such a
lamentable occurrence as that above
referred to. The boy who did the
shooting is to be committed to the
reform school. the victim is dead,
and the coroner's jury has made
the following report in the case:
We find that some of those
boys were in the habit of read
ing dime novels and this in con-
junction with the fact that they
We're allowed to be out and
about the streets at the late
hour OF night, is, in our opinion,
to great extent responsible for
the sad and unfortunate acct
dent.
We deem it the duty of all par
entS to know where their child
rem are and what they are do
ing and particularly to see to
it that they are home before 9
o'clock at night, and we recon-
mend that the city authorities
thoroughly enforce the curfew
ordinance providing that no chill
dren under the age of Is years,
be allowed on the streets of the
city after 9 o'clock.
We further recommend that
the city authorities notify all
book dealers of the laws against
selling dime novels and such
class of literature to minors and
feel satisfied that If this were
done it would prevent a repeti-
ton of such calamity.
The finding of the coroner's Jury,
1T seems to us, are pertinent and a
proper consideration of them may
avoid a repetition in some other
places Of similar misfortune.

Modern Business.

J wv Orleans Picayune
If the business of the United States
we're limited to the buying and selling
daily Of what is needed for actual con-
sumption, and If in each transaction
the actual purchase money were paid
down on the counter, our vast business
would be astonishingly dwarfed, and
commercially we would be transported
back to the dark ages. But fortu-
nately. we have reached a time when
through an intelligent foresight into
the course Of business. we may buy up
merchandise at low prices in anticipa-
tion Of rises in the market, or we may
take advantage of good prices today
and escape the losses that would re-
suit from an expected decline in prices
But this is called speculation, and al
though It is only putting in practice
the wise maxim 10 provide IN the pres
ent for the possibilities Of the future,
II is denounced by those good people
who are opposed to anybody but them
selves making a profit In business. OF
course. there are spectators who make
mistakes of judgment and lose their
money in transactions in futures. They
should stick TO the old plan Of buying
from hand to mouth, and of buying
only when they have money for the
purpose. Possibly they would make a
living. but they would lose all the
advantages of modern methods in busi-
ness
