After Seventy-five Years.

Norwich, N. Y.-Isaac Brown.
ninety years old, living on farm in
Otselic, Chenango County, took his
first trip in three-quarters of a CEN
fury last week, when he visited SYRIA
cuse. 1t was the first time he had
ridden on a railroad, although he had
seen steam cars few years ago. On
the trip he visited his mothers grave,
at Stockbridge, twenty miles from his
home, for the first time since he was
and electric cars amazed him.

PLAYING WALL STREET GAME
Difference Between the Man who
speculates from knowledge
and the Gambler.

OF the many popular decisions touch
ing Wall street and It's people, none " more
persistent or more dangerous to the out
slider than the belief tina from nothing
great permanent fortunes have been made
by shrewd and lucky speculation in prices.
II isn't true. We differentiate here be-
tween speculation in prices only, and the
kind of legitimate speculation which seeks
to anticipate great economic changes.
Legitimate speculation has its translation
into prices. too. but II takes, first. original
capital in some reasonable proportion to
the profits expected, and secondly, the
treatment OF exceptional opportunity with
correct Imagination. It's risks at best are
very large. Among our Wall street ac-
ouaintances are several hard-headed men,
who average to make 81, 900 a year by
speculation. Not one Of them has a capital
of less than S80,OOo. They make It earn
about 10 per cent.
Take Blank, one OF the ablest SPECTATORS
we know. He has made half a million dol
lars in the last five years. Very hand
some return. you say. Let us look at
Blank: He was the chief OF
one OF the big railway systems when an
uncle, dying, left him 10000 Mind you. he
was an expert railway statisticfan, and an
exceptionally able young man to boot. He
knew his own road like a book, as well as
some other things hat only the directors
were aware OF. The stock OF the system
looked cheap to him. and he used his
1900 to margin 1000 shares. A bull mar
ket was beginning. and within a month or
two Blanks capital had increased to $4,000.
He was content with a 10-point rise
though the stock advanced ten points more.
That was the first of Blanks deals,
Twelve months later he won again. He
thought that the stock of a certain western
system was selling below Its value and
set about an investigation to find the facts.
He hired a first class engineer and a re"
tired traffic manager to travel from one
end of that railroad to the other, ana ne
himself analysed the accounts. When all
the reports were In It seemed to him that
the system was earning enough money to
Justify an increase OF its dividend, and he
plunged once more. He waited six months
for his profit this time, and his inyestiga-
tion had cost him 5000. He made $4,000.
Good interest, you say. but think OF Blanks
special equipment for the game and the
trouble he took to be right. You, Mr.. Thin
marRinist, after reading the Wall street
gossip in your daily paper, adventure your
thousand or two thousand dollars and ex-
meet to double your money. Mark the diff
ference.-John Parr, in Everybody's Maya

these things tell ono that brown IL more
~fittingly worn In autumn when the sere
and yellow leaf hangs trembllngiy on tho
tree. What brown suits are shown are Of
a less intense shade than those Of yester-
year.
In gray and green there are a variety
OF shades to select from, Green" one r.
told. "harmonizes oapitaily with field and
foliage, although II Is trying for many"
Those often sun-kiased OF wea~therbeaten to
a dull bronze will do we'll. one Is further
assured, to avoid a very deep green. AS a
matter OF fact. the shades Of green shown
are not extremely pronounced, and some
80 called, would seem more like a dull
white to an inexpert eye. In the grays
there is no ehance for immense variation
from ordinary shades, and the chance to
make new styles comes really more in cut
than in color.
Mere mans waistline apparently is not
like that of the other sex on the downward
path. In fact. the idea that he has a waist,
fostered a season or two ago by the
shaped back with incurving line at the
waist. seems to have been somewhat dissi-
pated. Padding from the shoulders is dis
appearing to some rxtent also, and a So
called 'naturalness'' is sought after. This
rule is, however, far from being a rigid
one, and those who like the exaggerated
she ulder and wished the creased seam on
coats can still nave 1t so. The younger
the man. the more likely he is to wish for
these and other outre effects.
The rule for spring seems to be tina,
trousers shall be without cuffs, though
they will be worn with summer apparel
flannels. homespuns and k~nockabout suits
The young idea, however, quite fancies
this excrescence on the bottom OF trousers
and will part with 1t with reluctance even
for a time. II is possible for him not to
part at all, however. for he can and, in
some cases will. jump from a winter suit
into a summer one.
Broad lapcls. softly rolled and not pressed
flat are a distinctive feature of spring
coats. This is asserted to be a feature OF
all coats. for business, lounging and formal
occasions. The idea is borrowed perchance
from the shawl roll collars pertaining to
evening wear, instead of peak lapels.
You must wear the buttons a little
higher this spring. One is told that this
is to permit one to sit down without un-
buttoning and stil be comfortable. This
Is in accord with the dictum that a new
coat should be worn buttoned in order that
the garment may shap itself to the pecu-
liar architectural scheme of the wearer.

Lead on Springfield.

The Islanders left this morning on 4

and it is safe to say that if they win
a majority of the games on the road
they will come home with lead
which will make the winning of the
pennant look pretty easy. The team
has good safe lead over Springfield,
the nearest competitor, and there
seems to be no reason why the Sena-
tors would make any great strides TO
wards the top from their showing dur

they go TO Decatur, Springfield. PEI
