THE FEARS OF WALL STREET.

Wall street never hesitates to make
death as well as Prosperity a cause
for exciting the lambs who are ready
TO be fleeced, and producing a state of
fear and excitement which lines the
pockets of the schemers with money
E. H. Hartman, the greatest railroad
king the world. has ever known, died.
and panic in Wall street, we are told
was averted because Mr. Morgan in a
conference with Mr.. Hartman on his
death bed, made plans to avert it, and
the plans were a success. There is
really no reason why any mans death
should upset any great industrial sys-
tenn. The cause of trouble is not in
the death of the mighty, but in the
fear OF the weak, and the schemers
know that by disturbing the confidence
of the holders Of stock, that by excit-
ing fear and making a break in the
market, the frightened holders OF
stocks will sell out at sacrifice prices
and their loss is the gain of the plot
tiers. This is what Wall street specu-
lation at such a time and under such
circumstances means. The Hartman
systems are in no danger of collaps-
ing, nor is it probable that his wise
policies will be changed. Money of
itself is never timid. but the man be-
hind the dollar; and when the schem-
ers can move this man through terror
10 sacrifice his holdings they are sue
cessful, Mr.. Morgan stepped in to
maintain confidence and that is why
the Hartman stocks advanced when
the fearful and the gullible expected
them to tumble down, and that, in the
consequent panic. many men would be
enriched by others impoverishment.

TOUCHING OUR POCKET NERVE.

The new state tax law was designed
TO check extravaganza and it NAV OBJ
crate well to that end, although a sim
liar experiment in other states is all
legged to have proven to be failure.
The largest assessment is made upon
New Haven and the least upon the
town Of Marlborough-S6 2.296.25 to
$76.0S. The tax upon Norwich is
about mill on the grand list and is
likely to add another mill to our tax
which makes the pocket nerve give an
extra twinge; and the result of all this
is expected to be that the representa-
tives sent to Hartford in 1911 will be
charged to go slow when it comes to
rolling the appropriations up into the
millions. They might protest at this
generosity with the taxpayers money
which results in a few thousands be-
ing given away as an expression of
admiration by the servants of the peo-
pie. II must be conceded that $500
notes make the admiration all the
more acceptable. even if the money is
purloined. Being stung In this way to
make the voter sensitive to reform and

painfulness the sting of the bees for
rheumatism, and let us hope that the

character shown By Woman's Hair.

Much has been heard of the eyes,
the hands and the features as define
ators of character, but very little of the
nair in this connection. Though it is
scarcely more than q surmise, 1t is
said that a jealous disposition and
possibly unreliability are denoted by
dull black hair. A person with light
hair is sensitive to criticism and
Sights. Good judgment and common
sense rest upon the head of the owner
of brown hair of deep color and firm
texture. Though women with red hair
have long been considered impulsive
and tactless, they also possess hon
esty and sincerity, and are usually of
bright, sunny disposition. Straight
hair is said to be indicative of an OBJ :
stinate, unyielding nature. It is not
worth while to worry over these things
about hair, since one cannot change
them; but, to grow facetious for a
minute, it might be well to remember
these points in case you ever have to
purchase a strand or two.

EVENING Wraps.

Evening capes or mantels are brim-

and lavish handiwork, and it is speak

They are usually of the finest light

Unique Way to Make Hatpins.

1t is just the thing now to have all
the hat pins used at one time match.
This may become quite an extrava-
gance, since the modern hat necessi-
tatcs at least four pins.
One ingenious girl has made herself
various sets of pins at the cost of a
few cents. She buys ordinary black
or white headed hat pins-the bigger
the head the better. She also lays in
an assortment of sealing wax and gets
out her color box.
The heaGs of the pins are dipped in
the melted wax a number of times.

Natives of shantung Province Live

OF Shantung province, China, cor
respondent writes. "A little more
than a generation ago one Of the
greatest famines in the memory of
man spread devastation in the great
over-populated sections of the west of
this province and now famine faces
the stoical toilers of the land once
again. The Shantungese illustrate
well the law of the survival of the
iittest, for such dire poverty only per-
mits the strong ones to live, with the
result that we find sturdy men Of great
endurance all over this province. Liv
ing on the land, which barely produces
a suhiciency for Standings teeming
millions, the people have become
hardy for they are hardened to all
kinds of privations. Their brains are
deadened by ceaseless toll and this
may account for the reputed backward
ness Of this province in-progress along
commercial and industrial lines A
less ngsuffering people would have
a revolution every year. 1t is an
axiom with westerners that discon-
tent is an absolute condition of prog
ress, and we who live among the
Chinese know there can hardly be a
race in the world so contented as they
are, considering their lot This is one
of the factors which makes the regen-
GRAFTON Of China such an enormous
problem.
