TIME MADE TO ORDER.

In staid and ancient London town
They're going to turn the clocks
ahead,
So that the merry villagers
Will one hour sooner go to bed.
That doesn't sound so bad. but wait:
A joker in it hidden lies.
1t means that those who practice It
A whole hour sooner must arise.
It's very fine to read about
This rising with the early dawn
And getting out the moving traps
To shave the whiskers off the lawn
Or eating with the rising sun
And hurrytng to shop or store.
But let them come to try 1t out
And half the people would be sore.
Those who are constituted 80
They brlskly tumble out OF bed
Would give approval to the scheme.
But how about the sleepyhead?
He'd hear the morning whistle blow
And try his drowsy eyes to force,
Declaring he would rather snooze
And let old nature take its course.
This scheme for making people prompt
BY simply setting up the clocks
L. due before 1t goes In foros
For several hard and able knocks,
But after It Is working well
The earlier the whistle toots
No doubt they'll earn to lift them
selves
BY pulling gently on their boots.

STRAIGHT TALK FROM MURRAY
Comptroller of Currency Gives Warn
ing to Bank Examiners.
HURRIED WORK NOT TOLERATED
Duties I'm Many, Instances Poorly Per-
formed and Change Must Come
or R-esiEnations VIII BE
In order.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ell say to you
emphatically that your work must be i'm
proved. Embezzlements nave failed OF dis
covery. defalcations and dishonesty have
been concealed from you and in many cases
you have failed to correctly or even approx
imately estimate the value of the paper
and the securities held by the bank
This was the declaration made today by
Comptroller of the Currency Lawrence o.,
Murray in addressing the conference of ma
tional bank examiners representing prac-
tically all OF the territory east of Ohio.
"The conference, which is being held be-
hind closed doors, is expected to continue
several days and is the first under the
comptroller's call OF September 9 designed
to discuss the bank examiners work with
a view to radical improvement. Later Mr..
Murray will hold a conference with the
western bankers, probably at Chicago.
Today's discussion was along the lines OF
securing better methods. Mr.. Murray in
his speech said that some of their reports
to him indicated that a few examiners do
not realize the obligations of the office
and indicate hurried work; said examiners
should call upon two or three members OF
the board OF directors to go over the en-
tire discounts Of the bank with the ex-
aminer that the examiners must be ready
TO accept assignment anywhere in the
United States, and that II you are unable
to discover the true condition of a bank
do not send excuses, simply send In your
resignation and your commission for can
collation.

SHARP DROP in WALL STREET
Mnrket Sells off seven Points After
Rally which Followed Weak
Opening.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Declines OF 3 to
5 points in the prices Of most Of the active
stocks were the net results of an exciting
day on the Stock exchange today, which
ended in demoralized selling. A plunge OF
prices downward at the opening came as
the natural consequence Of the sharp break
on Saturday, which brought in scattered
outside liquidation. Banking interests and
the powerful capitalists supposed to be in
terested 1 nthe speculative position brought
prices up again to the Saturday closing
level during the quiet midday period. APP
parently advantage was taken Of this re-
stored level to unlttad stocks with greater
precipitancy than at the start. In the final
hour long strings of transactions In several
thousand share blocks were recorded In
the Hill and Hartman stocks, Reading and
st. Paul. The market looked as though
some important speculative interest had
been caught in an uncomfortable position
and was obliged to sacrifice holdings for
what they would bring.
Rumors were current OF a renewed at
tack TO be made by the government on the
Standard OIL company and reports OF an
u~nfavorable turn in the steel and copper
trades were also rife. The sensation caused
by the exposure of alleged Standard OF
methods in influencing acts of men promi-
nent In public life was feared as threaten
ing to stimulate a revival Of hostility to
corporations. A subsistence of the agitation
of this subject has been a prime factor in
the active speculation for a rise in stocks.
The prospect Of renewed activity of this
agitation came, therefore. on a weaker
speculative position.

but that Is just what Al Shartle, one Of

doing. and, moreover, he is happy and

ing over the muddy boot. and at the same
ime he is adding to his fortune and hav-
ing a good time, which means something
to a fellow who is making thousands Of
dollars, 10 cents at a time.
Shartle began his strange money maxi
Ing career in Dayton in 1867, when he
discovered that there was more money in
polishing a pair OF shoes at 10 cents than
In cooking meals for which someone else
obtained the profit. He had been a cook
as a youth. When he changed his trade
business was small at first. but gradually
he increased It. until at the present time
his clientele Is sufficient to keep him busy

Most of his trade is confined to office

the country, but he wants to get what he
can. When asked why he continued 10

good return. He was never known to
