He stood in the dusty road, cap in hand, and the sun beat down on his closely-cropped head, but he only planted his feet more firmly as he looked the girl squarely In the eyes and said slowly: No, thank you. I don't think I'll go today"
 An amused smile crept into the girls eyes. She had. often laughed with his father over what she called the lack of "dirigibifity'' of this small youth.
 ''rll drive around the block and let you think 1t over." she said. She smiled him "good-by." the ponies started up. and he was left alone. Something like sob arose in his throat. He was afraid he had been rude, but he could not tell lady that she was a 'pertender." Better to let her base his rudeness upon refusing to ride with her than that
 A few paces away the cart stopped, and Aunt Eleanor looked back ex- pectantly. but he shook his head and she drove on.
 He suddenly awoke to the conscious ness that the sun was very hot on his barred head, and putting on his hat he crossed the lawn and entered the house.
 His father would not be home till night; his bicycle was tame; his pony had lost its savor The one thing that still had about it the glamour of brighter days was The Picture in his fathers study. Fathers favorite arm chair stood under this picture and Dore could not remember the time when he had not said his prayers kneeling beside 1t as his father sat there. But this was before father be- came so busy and had to stay so late nights In the city.
 Dore took off his hat and looked at The Picture as he had looked at Aunt Eleanor few minutes ago.
 You weren't 'pertender' were you, ma'am?" he asked. politely. They told me that God took you away. It seems like they don't want me to have anything, don't it? I'm sorry, cause I think from your face l would like you, ma'am."
 Then even while standing there a thought broke in upon him. a thought so delicious and yet so audacious he held his breath as he clung lovingly to it.
 If Aunt Eleanor could not be a truly auntie, couldn't she be a truly mother?
 Ripper Brown had had three mothers. Now Ripper was the garb age gentleman's boy, and If he could have had three, couldn't this little lad die have one? u1
 He sat down in one of the big slip pery chairs to think 1t over. He suddenly remembered that last night he had refused to say his prayers He would not make a truce now and say them Just because he wanted something, but, he said aloud: T will just to mention it before go to bed to night and p'raps God might hear, who knows?"
 Dore sat up In bed blinking at the light and rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out
 What Is 1t, Nary" he asked.

A WOMAN'S WAL.
By EDWIN A. ME.
Copyright. 1908. hy Edwin A. N"-.

II am a victim of consumption. st my physicians say, induced by drink and drugs. 1 am abandoned of my friends and living on the charity of great city. am alone. l am in the depths of despair.
 "'Late! So late! But we can entcl still?
 ""Too late--too late! Ee cannot eli ter now.
 How the despairine wall rings in my ears. My young life is spent. All my hopes are withered l cannot turn back. It is 100 late-ioo late. The cry of agony is not taken from a novel. IL is a chapler from real life the vail of once f:,Elous actress.
 There is in it a fearrul warning. And you do not need to read this poor little sermonet 10 find it. How ever-
 Ii may not be out of the way to em- pbusize this warning to the woman or girl who is just beginning to take an occasional drink because she thinh& she needs it or because she is tired or blue or discouraged or who takes d drink just for fun or because her "set" does this thing.
 I wish this editorial might lead yoH to read again the vail of the poor wo- man and burn into your soul the con- sciousness of the irrencdial evil of the use of drug potions and drink stiinu- lants-
 Because students of social conditions say the drink custom and the dra:: habit among women are alarmingly s,.:. the increase.
 1t is not strange that a wOnam should contract an appetite for stimu- nal than the male habit. Especially are those women tempted who keep late hours and indulge in social dissi- pations. But they are not more tempt ed than the poor woman drudge whose vitality is spent in ceaseless toll or be- abuse
 Nevertheless
 The curse is the same whether upon man or woman, flor at the last it bit eth like serpent and stingeth like an adder"
 It is also true that the effect of liq- uor or drugs habitually used is worse in its effects upon woman. Her finer sensibilities are the more easily rav- aged, the fine edge of her keener sense of delicacy the more easily blunted.
 If she is rich, she may hide her growing coarseness in sheltered home or disease may take her to a premature end. If she is poor, humili- ation may drive her to suicide or pov erty may lead her to something worse.
 There is an awful warning in that despairing cry. "Too latetoo late!

Dudley Lewis got even with the Argenta ,Shamrocks at Forest Park Friday afternoon and came very near rubbing it in" with shut-out. The score, after Lewis concluded his left

 unassisted. Pitcher White was on the slab for the visitors. Whites con- trol was good, but the effective stick work of the locals, while nothing to 'brag about, came at opportune times and netted runs. For several inn ings, until the last half of the sixth. the score was one-one. Dudley Lew is won his own game in this half. when he made lucky bunt down the third base line, permitting Carl Ware to cross the home plate.
 Umpire Durand, a new umpire in the State League, made his initial ap- pearance on the local diamond and gave satisfaction. He seems to be right there" on base runners, but was little off on balls and strikes. Taken all in all, however, he looks like good diamond referee.

Through his attorneys, Nixon and Shaw,a former negro convict, William D. Massengale, yesterday filed suit ill the Jefferson circuit court against John M Oracle, who has the contract to work the Garland county prison CTS at his New Gascony plantation, for $3,000 damages. The negro ap- peared yesterday in the justice court, before J. F. Knox, and secured the conviction of Charles Davis, a white convict guard in Gracie's employ, for assault.

THE NATIONS, WEALTH :
DOUBLES IN 20 YEARS.
Increasing Expenditures Make
Big Deficit in Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Charles II.
Treat, treasurer of. the United States,
calls attention in his annual report to
the fact that owing TO the disturbed
relations between the income and ex-
penditures of the government there'was
a deficiency last yea of $685. 10, POI,
against a surplus for the preceding
year of sS4. 236, 5S6, and points out that
the total revenues for 1908 exceeded
those of any preceding fiscal year eX-
cept 1907. He says it is apparent that
the trouble is not in decreasing re-
ceipts, but in increasing expenditures.
The treasury was able to meet this
state of affairs with the excess of
revenues which had accumulated in
previous years.
The general stock of money in the
country at the close of the fiscal year
was $3,37S, 1874, 020, an increase of $685.
203, 013, as compared with that of a year
ago. The money in circulation for the
last eleven years has steadily increased,
the growth per capita advanced from
$28.S7 in 1897 to $34.72 in 1908. Popula-
tion has more than doubled every thirty
years, while the wealth of the nation
has more than doubled every twenty
years.

and he is making the people who work
the mines pay a good royalty on each
ton. so that the income therefrom is a
sum that is providing the best of edu-
cation and other advantages for several
tribes of Indians who are ascending to
high planes of civilization.
Mr.. Garfield spoke feelingly of the
coal mine disaster, which occurred here
a few days ago, and said that the min
ing congress came here at the right
time to give the government the oppor-
tunity to avail itself of the profound
learning and practical skill of the min
ing engineers and mine owners to bring
about mining laws that will, it is hoped,
place all the safeguards known by
science in mines that are liable to ex-
plosions from gas.

LAWSON DECLARES
Bostonian Says Preferred Stock
holders Will Base Suit on
Inside Speculation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Thowas W.
Lawson. Boston's "frenzied financier,"
author and actor, has turned his atten-
ton from the Standard Oil end of The
system" for the time being, n is
training mis- guns on the United States
Steel Corporation, the worlds biggest
trust" Last night he made the asser-
ton that preferred stockholders of the
steel trust are about to sue the COM
pany for specializing in it's own COM
mon stock. He asserted this suit will
show that the insiders in the com
pany have used the company's specula-
tons for their individual profit, This
is the way he described the SUIT:
Il understand suit is being prepared
by steel trust preferred stockholders
in which they will ask for an injunction
against the ~company's speculations in
its common stock; that allegations of
vast stock market operations will be
made. and charges that insiders use
the company's speculations for their in
dividual profits; that his suit will COM
pei an airing of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron deal and the entire operations of
Tic 1OlilPd1y III lis OWIl anu QUIET
stocks, as well as the doings during the
October panic; that this hearing is
timed for o because of the important
bearing it will have on the steel tariff
question. 1t is sale this suit will show
up a condition of affairs now unknown
to the financial world, involving two
great banks in transactions similar to
those for which Morse was convicted.
The names behind the suit will be guar
ATTY that it will be pushed to a finish
and that the government will be COM
PEELED to take c~ognizance of the facts
disclosed"
Officials of the Steel Corporation de-
MED all of Lawson's charges last night,
though they said they did not care to
them with an official quoted de-
All that e. H.. Gary would say
was:
II think the public is pretty well ac-
qualnted with the United States Steel
