this business one must be cool and
calm and farseeing as the young lady
of Oshkosh
Mr.. Hammerstein laughed heartily.
This young lady, he resumed,
had thrust upon her one night the
disagreeable duty of refusing a
young man, poor young man. a
hopeless young man, an eight-dollar-
week clerk in dry goods store.
THE young man took his refusal
hard.
"'You spurn me- he cried bitterly;

The trouble is that the money of
the country is not in the hands of
a comparatively few. If it were,
things would be booming along right
now from one end of the land to the
other. AS it is, the money is largely
in the hands of the people and the
people decline to let go yet awhile,
except in a dribbling stream for the
relief of actual needs, though with
out exception they would like TO
see the other fellow turn plunger and
start the wheels going. Both sides
Of the question have their comeback

A good deal of noise has lately
been made in the eastern part of the
state because OF the failure OF Ne
vada mining companies to fall over
one another in the matter OF raising
. fund to pay for room in a mining
show in New York city. For the
most part these exhibits represent
perpetration of fraud on the public
and on the mining industry. Real
mining men and mining engineers
whose association and opinions are
of value go to the mining districts
when they want to see ore, and not
to tables loaded with picked samples,
which are Of absolutely no worth so
far as telling of the value of the

A year ago the cry was that stock

Prosperity would rule just the same

finest marble and most delicate carving, paintings of the richest and most artistic skill; and in another part of the city is the cabin and the shanty, the hut and the hovel, where whole families are huddled together in one room, living in the most degraded state of poverty, where the sunshine of joy and the smile of happiness never beam. On one street is the grand old cathedral, ornamented with marble altars and crystal shrines, and architecture and frescoing that rival the genius ot medieval Europe, windows of most delicate tracery, and spires that ta- per away toward the heavens and are lost in the skies; and on another street is the throne of iniquity, the haunt of vice, the cesspool of cor ruption, where human souls are fes- tering in moral putridity and where they are hurled from life of degra. dation, misery and sorrow, into the gulf of eternal perdition. Are your ears deaf to the lamentations that echo throughout this great land, from ocean to ocean, and from the gulf to the lakes? Are your hearts callous to the widows vail and the orphans cry?'

 Last Roll Call In 1907.
 Toledo, O., Sept. f. While Com mander in Chief Burton of the c. A. K. and other officers were making their annual reports thousands of their comrades and other visitors were leaving the city. The public features of the encampment concluded with the grand parade, leaving little save busi- pess to attend to.
 Commander Burton reported that on Dec. 31, 1906, the members in good standing numbered 229,932 and on Dec. 31, 1907, 225,157; net loss during the year, 4,775.
 In 1907 the loss by death was 1O- PAP, which was partly offset by 5,467 members added to the rolls by muster in or reinstatement.
 The suspended list is very large, Commander Burton said, and he sug- gested that whenever it is apparent that a comrade cannot pay his dues without detriment to himself and fam fly his post should remit them.
 Colonel Henry NJ. Nevius of Red Bank, N. J., was elected commander in chief. The election occurred on the first ballot which gave MT. Nevius 454 compared with 254 for former Gov. ernor Van Sant of Minnesota and 90 for l.. T. Dickason of Illinois.
