more persistent or more dangerous to

di6erentiate here between speculation
In prices only and the kind of legiti-

mate speculation has it's translation
into prices, too, but it takes, first, origi-
nal capital in some reasonable proper

ondly. the treatment Of exceptional
opportunity with correct Imagination.
Its risks at best are very large. Among
our Wall street acquaintance are sew
eral hard headed men who succeed in
making $4,000 year by speculation.
Not one Of them has capital of less
than S25O.OO0. They make it earn
about 10 per cent.

Getting Wise.

A story is going the rounds of an
American heiress who invited a duke
or prince with an imposing title and
debts to match to chase himself.
Some bright girls are willing to learn
by the experience of others. Some
girls can see the point when it is illus
trated with diagram and copious
footnotes.
TO the romantic young girl prince
looks like the real thing. He knows
how to wear clothes that are not paid
for and can hand out line of small
talk that would DO credit to a ribbon
salesman, but when it comes to bring
ing home a pay envelope on Saturday
night lie falls down like an amateur
flying machine.
The fall styles in husbands are not
running to dukes. aud it is hopeful

and as President Taft is quite a
baseball fan, people of the second
Washington District have strong
hopes that their representative
will be able to get unusually close
to the executive. Other baseball
players have gone TO Congress but
McCredie will have the honor OF
being the first club owner to essay
the role OF a lawmaker. Having
served some time as interpreter of
the law, Congressman McCredie is
"a familiar with legal vagaries and

he reaches the national, it is ex-
pected that he will introduce some

How About This LADIES'

The other day in New York a
young Japanese couple applied for
a marriage license. When the
blank was handed the little bride
to-be, she filled in the spaces with
her name, age and residence, ac-
cording to form of law. Bnt when
she came to the space reserved for
the Occupation" she was puzzled.
She considered for a moment, and
wrote the quaint, modest little
statement, Sat home"
What lesson for American
bridesl How few of them nowaday
give thought to the home life
They want to be doctors, lecturers,
politicians, mayors, governors, ac-
tresses, any thing rather than that
for which they are most highly
fitted, and which after all, is the
highest calling in the world.
"At homel"
What a world of domestic happi-
ness is Swallowed forth in the SIM
pie words The sheltered home, the
peaceful retreatafter day of worry,
the laughter of babies, mutual trust
and love and forgetfulness of the
outside world.
Small wonder that there are 50
few scandals. so few divorces, so
little domestic unhappiness in the
lives OF the japanese when their
women take such a veiw of life.
Not for the world would the wives
ard mothers of Japan court the
publicity, the glare of the streets,
the shouts of the multitude. Their
ambition is to follow the "occupa
ton" which the little bride chose
"At home"
Deep down in your heart, Mr.,
American Man, don't you wish
your own wife followed that occu
patton? Do you really enjoy see
ing her picture on billboards, hear
ing her name handled abont on
the lips of the crowd In the street,
reading in the daily papers how
how she 'swung the Fifth ward
for Jones" in the latest election
and is considered the shrewdest
ward politician in the city? Hon
estly do you enjoy it?
And you Mrs. American Woman
isn't there away back in the hidden
corner of your heart the feeling
that you do not belong to the glare
of common public life? Isn't there
a hunger for the privacy,the shelter
the quite retirement of real home
with children and books and flowers
and the duties that come with them
Your husband is complaisant, Oh
perhaps he breads the wordy storm
that opposition would bring but il
yorr heart, don't you know tina
he is hurt at your course; that hi
hungers for the life that would
come if you would only follow The
little Japanese BRIDES occupation
thatyou have lessened his respect TO
you by thrusting yourself into pub
lie life and competing for tn
plaudits of the multitude, like ale,
urchins scrambling for pennies?
