High Finance
By the Jars

W. EFT out my other suit; Please|
came the voice Of Mr.. Jarr
from behind closed doors, for
he was initiating himself into
/ the Order of the Morning Bath.
Mrs. Jarr, like dutiful wife, got
out the other suit Mr. Jarr was no
/ Beau Brummel, and, being a man Of
moderate means, the other suit" was
of little splendOT, being of middle
class tailoring. But it had been newly
/ cleaned and pressed and was worthy
of the Jarr station in life, to say the
least.
Mrs. Jarr was only human wife.
She could not resist giving the trousers
worn the day before a JOggle as she
passed them 1t was a scientific jOggle,
and from the trousers pocket poured
bills and silver, looking of larger
amount than the money en- masse really
was.
Mrs. Jarr picked it up. Six dollars in
/ bills and three in silver.
There he is again, with the CaFless
way be throws his money aroundr she
said to herself. And if he should lose
any Of It I know he'd blame me, ana
say I took it. and 1 wouldn't touch
cent?
However. she counted the money over
again. Il think III punish him for this
CareIessness. and, anyway, I'll wager
he doesn't know how much he came
home with last night she thought.
III just take 81 Of it and put it in
that empty powder jar on the bureau,
and see if he misses it
-Four Dollars.
She placed the 81, tigh thy rolled, in
the bureau ornament, laid out Mr..
Jars newly-pressed other suit as be-
fore mentioned, and passed into the
dining room to arrange the table for
breakfast.
Mr.. Jarr came in in due time, and,
attiring himself in his other suit, be-
gan the transferring of the various
portable articles a man deems neces-
sary to carry as ballast from the gar
ments of yesterday.
His watch. his pencil, his fountain
pen, his keys, his knife, his notebook,
sundry letters, his card case, the sub
way tickets from the patch pocket in
mis- coat, and. last but not least, his
money. Manlike, he thrust all in peck
cts to correspond with those all these
things mentioned had been in before:
and then, in putting on his collar and
shirt he found himself a collar button
shy.
A search through all the usual places.
failed to locate the missing button.
Then his eyes fell upon the various
silver trays and ornaments on the
bureau. In the empty powder lar he
found an old collar button that wasn't

tucked in an inside pocket?" thought
Mrs. Jarr to herself. "Of course,
wouldn't have touched it, but he's so
careless he wouldn't have known the
difference if I had"
She took the 81 and put it by her
plate, and forgot all about the cached
81 in the powder jar.
Down town that day Mr.. Jarr found
so far as he could remember, that he
was money out somehow. And the next
day Mrs, Jarr, going to the powder jar,
discovered the 81 she had taken was
missing.
She can't figure out whether Mr.
Jarr found it or if a sneak thief entered
in. AS for Mr.. Jarr, he's afraid to say
anything about finding 81 and each
of them is resolved that it's no wonder

ARGENTINE SOCIALISTS DE-
NOUNCE GOVERNMENT
O1icials Admit That Election Was
Crooked, hut Nothing Can
BE Done Now.

BUENOS AYERS, Feb. 16.-Sev-
eral big protest meetings have been
held in this city against the conduct
OF the government during the last
election. Votes were bought before
the eyes of the authorities in public
places. the prices of which ran from
20 cents to 81, Nearly all the news
papers, even the most conservative,
protested against the board OF cleo
tions, and. especially against the
President of the republic. Where the
ballot boxes had been controlled by
halfway honest people, the boxes re-
mained nearly empty, because the
majority of the citizens do not go to
the ballot boxes, fearing that il they
vote agains he controlling govern
mcnt they will be shot down by spies,
Several shots were fired at DR.. Al
Socialist party, and when some other
citizens (not Sociallsts) started after
the aggressor they were dubbed by
the police. and one of thm was ar
rested, while the man who fired at
Or. Palacios remained at liberty.
Congressman DIR. Meyer Pelegrini.
president of the board of elections,
said recently in Congress: II am far
from believing that this election was
a correct and legal one, but inasmuch
as this country is so backward in this
direction, l believe we will not have
a better result at the present time if
we call for "a new election, but l sin
cercly hope that in the near future
the elections will be carried out in
such an honest manner as the So
cialists demand"
This was the only result Of all th,.
protesting. DIR. Lobet, one of two
elected Congressman, left for Europe
three days afotr entering Congress,
receiving during this time the usual
salary of about $3.50. per month.

BOSTON HATTERS ARE
VICTORIOUS.

an important victory yesterday when
the Lamson a Hubbard Company.
employing 500 men, Withdrew from
the National Tat Manufacturers As
sociation and signed an agreement
with the union. This triumph of ths
union hatters means practically the
end OF the strike i'm this city.
IL is believed that this break in tn"
ranks of the manui .,,'rrrs viii re-
suit in victories for the strikers in
other cities. Already there Is much
dissatisfaction among the individual
members OF the association. with the
officers who have held out promises
of a speedy ending OF the strike by
the employment of non-unlon hattcrs.
Several weeks have passed since
the strike began and yet there is not
q factory that has been able to turn
out any work with the aid OF strike
breakers
Credit for yesterdays victory is due
to the agitation for the hatters' union

was brought TO his rescue. A scape-
goat was picked out-a lesser of
acial OF Vladimirs committee. The
scapegoat. however, was uot a will
ing sacrifice; he objected against ac.
cepting Vladimir's dishoner even to
clear an imperial name. He was
forciby given TO understand that II
he did not, accept this guilt and its
consequences he would be punished
in a far more terrible way.
The scapegoat was sent To siberia.
Vladimir remained In Russia OF de-
wise new ways to steal new millions.
SuppIemcntIng His Income.
Vladimir's position as virtual head
of the army gave him many oppor-
tunities, especially during the Jap
anese war, when the expenditures
were heavily, to exc out his insufficient
income. Three hundred cases Of am
munition he sent to Manchuria hap
pened TO be examined i'm transit They
were found to contain paving stones.
He sent a train to tho front fIcd
what was supposed to be bales Of
uniforms for the soldiers. When the
bales were opened they were found
to contained only straw.
4 certain Russian general, when
asked where were the boots of his
soldiers who were marching barefoot,
replied: In vladimirs pocket"
\ few years before the breaking out
of the war a pharmaceutical factory
was established in st. Petersburg,
under the direction of Vladimir, to
manufacture medical supplies for the
army, there OF bcstor"d away foY
use intime of war. Millions were
given Vladimir for raw materials ami

When the war broke out General
Kurupatkin, then Minister Of Wa.
supposed that a great stock OF drugs
and supplies was ready to be sent to
the front. But he discovered To his
dismay that there was no stock of
supplies, that the factory had not
even been in operation, that the mill
lions allowed for this purpose had
gone no further than Nladimir's
hands. This lack Of medicines ana
