 WALL STREET FIRM

New York, December SO.-Announce- ment that the Allis Chalmers directors have decided to pay interest on It's first mortgage bonds due January i, 1912, there by throwing the company into a receiver ship came as a surprise to the financial district which had received assurances that the corporations difficulties might be tided over.
 The amount of first mortgage bonds outstanding of the company is $11, 900 with $16,150000 of preferred stock and $19,- S20O0O common. No action looking to re- ceivership can be taken until default has actually occurred.
 The bondholders will have a meeting today to plan a course of action. It is understood the companys assets are far in excess of it's bonded debt, and that from s5,0Oo,0OO to s6.0oo,0O0 as working cap ital would help the company out of it's present embarrassment.
 Milwaukee, Wis, December 3O-Offi- cials of the Alls Chalmers company here say the pending proceedings in New York contemplate a friendly reorganiza- tion of the company.

 Interior Decorators Into Firm

A deal was completed yesterday Wnere- by the entire corps of interior decorators operating under the direction of MT. J. F. Havely, have been taken into the pusi- ness of q. w. Harris & Sons, 115 Twenty first street, thereby putting the cap stone on the pioneer business of the south

 The exacting requirements of the mod ern architect make such as the above necessary adjunct to their profession, even so far as to consult with those who specialize in this work, so that the ac- tual results will be complete and har- monious whole.
 Some small detail may make or mar an entire scheme
 MT. Havely enjoys the confidence of the leading architects of the country.
 Unsolicited letters are on file testfying to the complete satisfaction of all con cerned.

roes-and the Roman laws framed by Caesar were the pillars for civilization.
 Nineteen hundred and twelve rises above the past with no more days or hours to grasp than the year before. But the spirit of progress, of building is an apparent feature of the age. That one man leads the other is greatly within self There are opportunities for all, if there is failure know your own weakness.
 True the same talent is not given to each, but in our separate spheres we have our comparative forces, and if we rank well with our kind we have accom- plished purpose-the knowledge of our own attempt is a reward.
 The word success does not always inn ply the reaping of a harvest of gold; gold is a commodity that can avail much, yet can be used as a poison to healthful conditions of heart and soul.
 Do not measure content or success on a monetary scale. There are ends far greater. A man is never success until he has given himself to an unselfish pur- pose-has elevated his own ambition, and given of his fruits of his labor to the uplifting of others
 To mechanically welcome In the change of time only means to hurrah with the other fellow. But with heart and hope in the future and resolutions to be kept for good the flight of time will surely count in the lives of those who greet with the true spirit the year of 1912
 IT. the feature stories for Sunday the writer is going to ask for the new year a cooperation of helpful suggestions from housekeepers who are marketing themselves-who keep account of their expenditures; also for those who have their pin money industries. That each woman who has g. new idea may give other women an opportunity these sug- gestions are invited by letter to the writer and where such stories are used will be either with or without the use of the name of the sender, though we much prefer mentioning names. It is very pleasant to know the names of thinking women who are doing things and mak- ing the home. Each woman who becomes interested in this phase of domestic en- couragement will have made a new year resolution that will be very helpful to others. Be it resolved from this day January 1, using the lines of Eugene Field,
 life is mirror of king and slave;
 It is just what we brave to do;
 Then give to the world the best you have
 And the best will come back to you"

COURT PERMITS
 TICKET SCALPING

Chicago, December 30-United States District Judge George A. Carpenter was in a quandary for a time today over the propriety of a receiver of his court conducting a scalping busi- ness in order to dispose of several thousand dollars worth of theatre tick cts for New Years eve.
 II. N Waterfall, incorporated, is the scalping concern against which bank ruptcy proceedings were begun.
 The question arises whether this court should consistently allow the business of ticket scalping to be con ducted under it's Jurisdiction" said Judge Carpenter.
 When advised there was no state law or city ordinance against theatre ticket scalping, the court directed the receiver to continue the business until all the tickets on hand were sold.

When we played In the street!
And when we got those mud pies made
You bet We all looked sweet.
We got bunged by big bumblebees,
Ate snits and swelled up fat.
We tied the cat to Towser's tail
And got well licked for that
And cherries. Didn't we hook a lotf
Green apples-oh. what pain!
We held our little tummies tight
And yelled with might and main.
Ny. didn't we have a mouth for pie
And cake and 'lasses bread
And play at circus every night
When We were put to bed!
Yes. preacher, you look dignified
In that white tie and coat
But don't forget that summer day
When you stole Billy's goat
And quick got butted in the creek.
Splashed clear In overhead.
And then got smacked for bein' mean
And had to go to bed.
And you. great Judge upon the bench.
My golly you look stern!
But you're the kid that put the toad

And got our pants well busted!
But II we couldn't have had that fun
We surely would have busted.
