ber of tre StUGA Exchange said that
every person who enters Wall Street,
except as IL broker, Loses money. He
made an offer of s. 600 fer the name
and address of any legitimate customer

twelve years of experience, not a Gus

apother-an brUker-s said that a
search covering ten years aud scores Of
trading friends and The lecVrds of five
brokerage firms and bucket shop fail
ed to find single ultimate winner. The
great majority of brokers testified that
ninety-elght per cent of their customers
lose money, practically all who trade on
margins.
As to the bucket shops, since all their
trading is on MAJ gus, lhey bate 10 tiuu
q complete new set OF customers every
three to five ears, the latter term being
the limit set TO themost successful.
All these facts suggest that there is
something beside desire to protect the
POOR lamb in the strenuous Efforts of
the Stock Exchange members 10 sup.
press the bucket shops. 1t the poor
lambs get done up in the regular trad
ing to the number of niuety eight per
cent, the added two per cent Of the
bucket shop ought not TO constitute the
dividing line between legitimate trading
and gambling. A two per cent

for marginal trading by regular ex

The testimony is Illuminating. 1t
shows that the trader on margins,

has the same excuse the seller Of opium

broker unless he wants to.
That margin trading in stocks and
futures in grain are the worst forms of
gambling the country now knows, is
amply shown 10y the Investigations of

II ELOW is the story of a woman
X who had worn egret plu4es be-
~ cause she shared the Aninine
love of pretty clothes and rlcn
adornment, says the Salt Lake Herald
Republican. Together with her nus
band, who hunted with camera IN
stead of a gun, she Travelled through
the rookeries of the far south. Ana
this is the simple story Of her conVer-
sion:
"The next rookery we visited was on
an island, and, though the air was
again thick with flying birds as we ap-
preached, there were no egrets. our
guides declared that the man who had
shot over this rookery the year before
had cleared more than $1,000. One guide
assured us that only three weeks be-
fore he had passed the island and seen
dozen egrets lowering over the man
groves.
After several other unsuccessful ex-
petitions we tried the rookery on Cuth-
bert lake. Here we had our first
glimpse of egrets. Among the cloud OF
birds that rose on our APPROACH two
were wearing plumes-beauttful, Won
derful plumes. At first sight it seemed
almost impossible to believe them a
natural part of the birds.
1--WE visited the rookery and soon
found a nest with the nestlings few
days out of the shell. Our camp was
pitched in the vicinity and my husband
and spent four days photographing
the birds and studying their habits. At
the end of that time we set out for an
other rookery, at which our guides
thought there was a good chance of
finding egrets.
eve were away three days. On re-
turning at my special request we again
landed at the Cuthbert rookery. At our
approach the birds again filed the air,
but we looked in vain for our two

The Sign OF the Closed Door

w HEN you come to the sign of the
w closed door you may know its
" message. 1t is simple enough,
though few know it. 1t is simply the
word KNOCK"
In this day when nothing is sacred
and privacy is an outgrown and for
feited privilege, the closed door has no
significance.
We are much too busy and in a
great deal too much of hurry to pay
each other the implied though subtle
compliment of announcing our arrival
before entering another's room. We
take it for granted that the members
of our own family, at least, will always
welcome our presence.
Though on many occasions this prac-
tice seems only a useless form, 1t al
ways implies a highly developed sense
of courtesy, a phenomenon which is
deplora bly, rare within family circles.
1t would be begging the question to
think of knocking before entering the
family living room, which belongs as
much to one member of the family as
another, though here, too, 1t is rather
gratifying to enter a home where the
maid has been taught to pay her mis-
tress this courtesy.
In too many houses the closed door
means nothing. People have lost all
sense of the value of privacy and the
personal rights of others, and they
blunaer into each others rooms az
braVely as we enter the corner drug
store or the street car

Darling Young Mary.

Darling Young Mary)
Catch the rosy blush of morn
And the shades of night newborn
Take that tint from Meevagh's woods last
autumn-tide they wore,
And you have the cheeks so rare,
And the maze of dear, dark hair,
And the mischief -brimming eyes OF my Maui
reen Og Asthore.
To our hills in winter go,
Where you'll find the purest snow,
And redder holly-berries than you've ever
seen before;
Then with fancy's aid infuse
Into teeth and lips those hues-
And behold the pretty, coaxing mouth OF
Maureen og Asthore.
From the rowan tree so fair
Fitch its 1.-THE and stately air
And bestow on 1t a form divine that angels
might adore;
Then see the winsome face,
And the airy, swanlike grace,
And figure so bewitching Of my Maureen Og
Ashore
Get the evening stars mild beam,
AS IL trembles in the stream,
And the light and bounding noiseless tread
of lambkins the moor;
Take the music from the brook
And behold the voice and look'
And the matchless, magic step OF her' my
Maureen Og Asthore.
Find the streams love for the lake.
And the brier's for the brake,
And the love that makes the mountains seek
the fond skies bending DER,
And you've thrown one little ray
ON the love words can't convey,
That for evermore doth draw this heart TO
Maureen Og Asthore.

And if the closed door has it's abuses,
the open door has as many more.
The familiar friend and the too neigh
borly neighbor takes sin as grieVously
against the open door as the members
of your family do against the closed
door.
To walk into a neighbours house with
out knocking seems to some to reveal
a degree of intimacy to be proud of,
when in reality it reveals nothing in
the world but a lack of breeding. No
matter how well one may know a
householder the practice Of walking
into his house unannounced is bit of
impertinenCe that has no excuse.
There is your neighbor in the next
terrace, your porch adjoins hers per-
haps. 1T just ran in without knock
ing" she says glibly as she surprises
you in your kitchen.
That time it didn't matter especially,
except that it startled you slightly, and
the next time it might not matter, but
perhaps the third time it would not
have proved so pleasant. But even if
it might never seriously inconvenience
you, the fact remains that the act is
an unwarranted intrusion that is not
half as smart as it is discourteous.
These may sound like harsh words
to be applied to a practice which is SO
common, but prevailing customs are
not invariably courteous ones. and nc
amount of usage can ever make it po-
lite to walk into another persons house
without leave or license.

MLARNlN, UP A sTEERp

President Spense, who is at the head
of a college in Georgia, has fund of
anecdotes at his tongues end illustrat-
ing the eagerness of some of the south
ern boys to acquire an education. The
following incident shows the spirit
which Is common among them.
A young man entered the college
office and. touching the president s
arm, asked in a peculiar mountain
brogue. "Be ye the man who sells
larnin'?" Before the president could
answer he asked again. Look here,
mister, do you-uns run this here
thing?"
The president replied, Eyes, my man,
when the thing is not running me.
What can 1 do for you?"
Heaps" was the only reply. Then
after a pause, he said, II has hearn
that you-uns edecate poor boys here,
and, bein' as 1 am poor, I thought I'd
come and see if twas So Do yep
The president replied that poor boys
attended the college, but that it took
money to provide for them, that they
were expected to pay something. He
was greatly troubled.
"Have you got anything to pay for
your food and lodging"
His face frightened, as he replied,
Eyes, sir have a little spotted steer;
and if you-uns will let me, 1 will stay
with you till larn him up" Such per-
sstence generally carried its point, and
the lad remained, and the little steer
lasted for two years.
