Out of the fusillade of idens

Already the dawn is putting the fog

street had a number of very painful
things the matter with it, but totally
without being aware Of the fact. As
soon as Wall street found that it was
In pain, 1t was among the first to ask
for q doctor. And the rest Of US, as
the fog altitudinizes, know that all
OF the little fliers which we took In
stocks would have brought forth

exchange had been incorporated or
il somebody hadn't washed q sale on
some other day except the regular
wash day, or II some person, in a mo
ment Of carelessness lit certainly
wasn't Intentionally, hadn't left q
screw loose somewhere. Il
All that, however, has passed, or
nearly passed. The time is nearing
when the most immature lamb can
walk boldly into any Wall street en-
'porium without q chaperon. There he
will be- met by q specially selected
committee OF affable and unselfish
brokers. After curling himself up in
the capacious depths OF a luxurious
leather lounge. he can lay his stake
at random, be it large or small, and
then he can dismiss It from his mind,

owing to the expurgating which Wall
street has been subjected to-, nobody

ers. II there ia any losing to be done,

shoulders.
