Wall Street Brokers Draw the
Sex Line.
New York Consolidated Exchange
Firm Likely to Be Disciplined by
Board for Its Vioiation-Un-
written Rule Exists.

New York.-A Wall street brokerage
firm has got itself into trouble and
may be suspended by the Consolidated
stock exchange because it recently
opened women's department, fitted
up with a few rocking chairs, had a
woman In a white sweater stationed at
the ticker to read the quotations and
allowed woman spectators to come
down and bring their young ones with
them If they cared to-which they did.
In some cases. This is a punishable
offense In the street. Not the children
but their mothers are the ones object
ed to. There are no cries of Place
aux danes! In the stock market zone.
The establishment with the, nursery
attachment to its women's department
is on New street. just a block away
from the exchange of which the firm
Is member. It had really only Just
begun to build up the new branch of
Its business when the exchange heard
OF 1t and signaled the call to arms of
the board OF governors. This had the
effect Of clearing the women's room of
all children and Of all but two wo.
men, while the person in the white
sweater who had been lingering many
yards of ticker tape was supplanted by
a man.
You may search the rule book Of
the Consolidated from cover to cover
for an article or bylaw forbiddine
women to come down and trade in
stocks like the men. and to bring
their youngsters along with them, as
now and then a proud father has done
on half-holiday, but you will not find
what you are looking for. The rule
exists. none the less. It simply isn't
printed. The nearest thing to it In
print is a rule prohibiting "acts detri-
mental to the exchange" on the part
Of Its members, which, as one of the
board Of governors pointed out, might
be made to cover any number Of
things. Among them is the catering
to feminine spectators, he said. The
fact that sort of kindergarten an
mex went with the women's depart
ment had nothing to do with the case.
Wall street half expects to see the
proprietors of the New street rocking
chair trading club and day nursery
punished in some way-by suspension
from the exchange, possibly. 1t is
pretty certain that the club and the
ra-sery will go out of existence It
will have to. Women who want to
dabble in stocks are as unwelcome as
= crook below the dead line" All
this in spite of the fact that only a
few weeks ago Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
hurst told Wall street any number of
stories about women who had gone in
to business and made success of it.
Its the experience of hundreds of
stock brokers that the woman who
comes down here to speculate is a
bad loser" said one officer Of the Con.
solidated recently. "Say what you
please about this being the day OF

Iowa Town Moved Two Miles

Hope, we'll and good, declared the
sturdy burghers, but CalHope would
offer no brides. At this the railroad
representative lost some of his suav-
1ty, and informed his audience that II
Calliope did not choose to accept the
generous compromise held out to It by
the railroad, the company would make
Calliope come to the road.
Then one day an ugly rumor was
afloat. It was whispered from mouth
to mouth that one of the councilmen
who had been most emphatic in de-
nouncing the railroad agents prefer
had bought a quarter section in the
path Of the projected railroad, and In
company with the railroad advance
agent was laying out the new town.
Further investigation disclosed that
the councilman had bought an even
100 acres of land-what was more, he
had parceled it out In regulation city
lots, had opened a cracker box Office
and was doing a ffourishfng real estate
business.
THE hegira continued. The the
same suave gentleman visited the
principal merchants of the town and
made them an offer Of a free site in
the new city II they would move. 1t
was too much. Immediately there was
a scramble to secure the most desir-
able locations in the new cfty-which,
by the way, he said was to be named
Hawarden-in his own honor. One by
one they set to work to move their
structures-whicb were Of frame con-
struction--two miles down the slope
to Hawarden.
1T was no use. And even tho old
timers saw It. Mournfully they. too,
babe farewell to Calliope and betook
themselves and their abodes to Ha-
warden, which grew to q city OF $500
within a month.
And Calliope? Well, what was
once Calliope is now a hourishins
cornf1eld."

Des Moines. 1a--Wheeling a town
two miles overnight!
This feat, accomplished by tho resi-.
dents of thriving Iowa community,
and the exciting events that preceded
the municipal hegira were wildly re-
lated by former resident Of the town
In question. The incident occurred In
the early '90s, when the railroads
practically made over the maps OF
many portions Of the west.
1.-THE one great handicap Of Cal
liope-for that is, or was. the name OF
the town, was the fact that it pos.
sessed no railway connection.
But one day a man, glorytng in a
generous girth and a many hued
waistcoat, arrived in Calliope. To the
village president he sfgnified his de-
sire to meet the village board, and II
was convened in session extraordin
airy that very evening in the school
house. To this staid and deliberative
body the imposing stranger outlined
his plan for a newer and a better Cal
Hope. The Mississippi & Pacific
Coast railway-that was not its name
but it will serve-he declared had de-
cided to extend its projected line
through Calliope on its way to the
shore of the Pacific. AS evidence oil
the good faith Of the company the
representative exhibited map where
in Calliope was indicated by a black
dot, whose dimension were exceeded
by none-no, not even Chicago. The
stranger went on to point out the ad
vantages that would accrue to thu
town by the faifllment Of the plans
of the railroad company.

that there is a simple way to prevent
potatoes from burning and sticking
to the bottom Of the pot. An inverted
