he had lost. He assured himself over
and over again that If he could do this he
would quit the game. His regular bust
ness had suffered seriously through his
neglect. He was 900 loser through his
speculations. His profits in teas, coffees
and spices had dwindled from sS,oo0 or
5000 year to almost nothing. His credit
no longer was first class. Frequently he
kept his creditors waiting IN unconseion-
able time. Occasionally when a bill col
lector was Fostering him for payment he
was called on the phone by his broker for
demand for more margins. Somehow
he found money for his margins when he
could not find it for his bills
When he lost a customer he was bitter,
not realizing or not being willing to real
ize it was owing to his failure to attend
properly to his business. Day by day he
was becoming more nervous and irascible.
His health was not as good as it had been.
After dealing for ten years with one
house and being closed out on transact
ton because he did not come up promptly
with his margin, Mr.. Briggs was furious
and determined to have nothing more to
been so wrathy had it not been for the
fact that had the firm carried the deal
through that day he would have made
handsome profit. He never had failed
them before and he thought it was the
height of ingratitude to close him out.
Probably his brokers thought he was near
the end of his rope.
Briggs was in too deep to stop. Across
the hall from the brokerage house in
which he had been dealing was the office
of Pulver & Gradon. Briggs wandered in
there and looked at the board He studied
the figures for a few minutes and then
determined that Little Steel was a good
buy. He bought 30 shares. Little Steel
went up. That was a good augury. The
next time he went into Puyer & Gradon's
Mr.. Waddel the office manager, made
himself pleasant. No one could be more
gracious than Mr.. Waddell.
| They had not been chatting three min
utes before Briggs felt he had a friend in
Waddell. The office manager vas big,
hearty and inspired confidence. He sug
gested a trade to Briggs. and Briggs
promptly followed his advice. 1t was a
good tip and Briggs made money. He
and Waddell had dinner together that
night and in the course of the dinner
Briggs told his new found friend of the
treatment by his previous broker Wad-
dell was sympathetic and told Briggs it
was a shabby way to treat an old custo-
mer. Within a month Briggs was having
more deals with Pulver q Gradon than he
ever had with the old firm.
Waddells information was pretty good
and Briggs had made more profits than
losses. but he could not get away from his
old trick of running away when the mar
ket seemed to go a little against him or
to close out when he had small profit
Pulver &c Gradon was a new firm. AL

STABLE
 OF SHOW HORSES
HOOK AND WOODS WITH 4 BIC STRING OF SPLENDID SHOW
 ANIMALS ON THE GROUND.
Equlpages for Miss Longs String Are Also Here and Animals Are
 Being Exercised.
And stin they come!

And stll they comel
 Who? What? Why, the horses that are entered sn the big horse show that will be given in this city March 5 to 9.
 Yesterday Hook and Woods arrived in Hot Springs, bringing with them a delegation of high class. prize-win- ming saddle horses, animals that will delight the hearts of all those who love canter on horseback, and yes terday large crowd saw the horses being exercised in Oaklawn park.
 h fact, a visit to the state fair grounds has become quite the proper thing these days Yesterday the weather was ideal Possibly there were some "DouDting Thomases" among those who took the ride to this pretty headquarters, where are now quartered some of the finest show horses in the United States, but If there were any skeptics who entered the gate the reformation to the belief that the coming horse ex- position would be the greatest that the South has ever seen, was soon forthcoming, and complete, and when they passed out Of the gates on their way home they realized that the horse show, now near at hand, would real ize all that had been claimed for It.
 Miss Lula Long had her King and other entries out for their daily exercise, both morning and afternoon Yesterday there arrived eleven show equipages in this city and 1t wasn't long before Animation horse re- gently purchased by her, was in har. ness. And how this steed did per form The animal seemed to realize that it was on review and gave great performance Miss Longs horses, however. were not the only attraction, for o. J. Mooers of Colum- bia, Mo, won much applause with his 'Advance Guard" and other entries. It was a great day for the crowd and the horses acted as if they appreci- ated the attention that they attracted
 Word was received at the headquar- ters of the horse show in the Busi- ness Mems league that the string of 36 horses which will be the entries of Mrs. Julius Walsh, the wife of the multi-millionaire of St. Louis and New York, will arrive here Monday morn ing. This string will add greatly to the already large number of horses already here. and Mrs Walsh has some of the best blooded steeds ir the country under her direction
 The next auction of private boxes will take place Friday night at the Eastman hotel, and Monday night the Ledgerwood band will give concerts at the Park, Eastman, Arlington and Majestic hotels The big horse show ball takes place at the Eastman Sat urday night and this will be the sol cial event of the season

HORSE SHOW BALL"
Interest centered in Coming Social
 Event at the Eastman.

General interest in local social cir cles this week is centered on the horse show ball" at the Eastman ho- tel Saturday night Manager Egbert T Osborn made a happy suggestion when he stated in Sundays Sentinel Record that he would pay tribute 10 next weeks big horse show at pretty Oaklawn track by putting on big ball Saturday night of this week. The idea took well with the many fash. ionable people from the big northern and eastern cities now stopping at the Eastman. That splendid set at the Arlington also put it's o. K. on the ball and that insures it's success.
 The demorations will not only be thoroughly appropriate, but will be the finest that can be procured Man ager F. NJ. Barnes of the Hot Springs Horse Show association, is work'ae in conjunction with Manager O9sborn in completing all preliminary arrange. ments. Simon Cooper, the third mem Der of the arrangements committee. is also lending valuable aid. All In all, the horse show ball bids fair to be o1e of the most enjoyable sue cesses of Hot Springs busy winter season

ARLINGTON ASSEMBLY,.

A peep into the beautiful ballroom Of the Arlington hotel last night, when the usual weekly informal as- sembly was at its height, afforded conclusive proof that Hot Springs time-honored season is on in full blast and that the social favorltes of the big northern and eastern cities are here in lavish numbers. A splen- did throng attended the assembly and the splendid throng was splendidly attired The display of finery and jewery probably was the gayest of the month. and that is saying great deal
