changes and improvements that have
taken place in recent years. One can,
in fancy, imagine the wonder with
which telephones, electric lights, troll

an old man recently released from

within whose gloomy walls he had
been confined for nearly thirty years
The story of his release relates how
he showed the eagerness OF a child

feeling was ackin to that Of one who

GIRLS AVOID ARREST.

Nassau street is about as wide as a
country lane, and more people use il

Consequently a crowd gathers there
on slight pTOyOCatiOn. But there was
excuse for the crowd the other day,
when passeTbys looking up TO the
tenth floor of an Office building, saw
two pretty girls step out on the cor
nice edge along the wall away from
the window, and then sit down and
swing their heels over space. Ann and

wanted to avoid arrest, and this was

No More the
Poor Farmer.

For many years the newspapers
have published letters on the business
situation by Henry Clews. a wealthy
New York banker and broker. Those
letters have always been readable ana
interesting to business men, but too
long for the tastes OF the average read
er. From a recent one, however, the
following excerpt Is taken which Will
be found worth reading, statistics and
all. Mr. Clews says:

present outlook. will yield 2,7O0,oOO,-
900 bushels, which, at the September

during the period when the people OF
the east owing TO the disastrous Ell
feet of the 1907 panic, were putting
their automobiles out of commission
or selling them at reduced prices, the
farmers o. the west were accumulat'
ing them, and at the present time are
the most numerous buyers.
The old banker realizes that the
country has got to be so much larger
than Wall Street that panic there
among the money changers cannot
stop the wheels of industry. The
farmers of the west and south go
right ahead raising bumper crops,
which bring good prices, and they
