SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Jew Outwitted Russian Guard by lmi-
tation That Must Have Been
Remarkable.

Aaron Seidentaft is clever fellow
as you may understand when you learn
how his quick wit recently brought
him safely out of situation of the
utmost peril. Aaron desired to visit
Russia, but he had no passport. He
said to his friend Mendel:
you have passport I'll get into
a big bag and you shall carry me
across the border. If the frontier
guard asks you to put the bag down
you'll say you can't because there's
glass in it and it will break"
Mendel was obliging. He shouldered
the bag with Seidentaft in it and ap
preached the boundry. The frontier
guard asked what was in the bag and
Mendel answered, Glass" Thereupor
the soldier drew his sword and ran il
through the bag. 1t might easily have
gone very hard with Seidentaft if he
had forgotten his role and cried out
But he didn't. Instead he made 9
noise like this: Killing, klang." And
SO he got alive into Russia.
He often relates his adventure and
he always adds: when one is labeled
glass, one must behave like glass. =

The daily cares of keeping house
and bringing up a family are hard
enough for a healthy woman. The
tired, weak mother who struggles
from morn to night with lame, ach.
ing back is carrying heavy burden.
Many women believe that urinary
disorders and backache are female
troubles" and must be endured. But
men suffer the same aches and trou-
bles when the kidneys are sick.
Women are especially subject to kid
ney disease. Tight clothing, indoor
work, the ordeals of childbirth, the
worry, and the STOPPING, straining and
striving of housework all help to. bring
it on. At first the trouble may be only
backache, sick headache, dizziness
and a drowsy, dull languid feeling, but
this condition is dangerous to neglect,
for dropsy, gravel and deadly Bright's
disease start in some such small way.
Don't be discouraged. When back
ache, nervousness and irregular or
painful passages of the kidney secre-
lions begin to bother you, use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the remedy that has
brought new life and strength to thou
sands of suffering women. There are
no poisonous nor narcotic drugs in

MAKE TROUSERS FOR WOMEN
"smoking Suits" Are in Great Demand
in London for Afternoon
Teas.

London.-Women in London have
begun to wear trousers and little
smoking coats instead of the tea gown.
Every kind of waistcoat is being worn
out of doors, but the trousers and coat
suit is only worn indoors, and gener
ally in the afternoon. The pajama
habit led the way and the smoking
suit has followed.
The suits resemble closely the jack
ct and trousers of the Chinese women
and are really fascinating. They are
to be had in various colors. One is
a deep blue cashmere, with a collar
of yellow silk and breast pocket,
the whole being stitched in yellow.
Another dainty suit is of forget-me-not
blue silk. Another has silk collar
of the palest pink, breast pocket of
the same tint and pink trousers. turn

The exchange has recently had the
worst days business since 1888, 25
years ago. Only $4,000 shares of stock
and 818 bonds changed hands. There

was figured that each of them would
have $1.40 for his days work if the
commissions were divided equally. A
dollar and forty cents, not the wages
of man who digs a ditch in these
days-and for brokers whose business
expenses might run to 800 day each.
No wonder there are "reorganizations"
and a few failures. No wonder that
staid old firms settle all their accounts
and quietly go out of existence.
For one thing each member of the
change" has lost about $4,000. This
is the difference between the high quo
tation for a seat in 1909 and the price
seats bring today.
The floor of the exchange these days
often resembles the lounging room of a
clubhouse. The exchange is a club in

Her shonninn Husband.

Here is something new, a widows

from a London court A widow had
sued to recover $50, the value of a
pair of diamond earrings.
She stated that on June % she went
to the shop and bought the earrings.
Afterward she was not satisfied, went
back to the shop, and after heated
discussion called at pawnbroker S,
who valued the stones at $50.
Counsel read letter from the plain
tiff. in which she said that her hus-
band was not satisfied with the
stones" But you are widow" he
added

HID STOLEN GEMS IN ORANGE
Jewel Thieves Had Ingenious Schema
of Concealing Loot From Eyes
of Police.

Naples.-Some days ago dealer In
precious stones in this city, Signor
Gasparo Bascarino, was robbed of jew
eIry valued at 100000, and although
the suspicion of the police was direct
ed toward two brothers, who kept a
fruiterer's business, a search of the
shop failed to reveal anything of an
discriminating nature.
BY chance policeman observed
some boys playing in the gutter with
what proved on examination to be
some of the stolen stones. The boys,
who were quite unaware of their
value, confessed that they had found
the stones secreted in some oranges
and citrons which they had purloined
from the shop of the suspected broth
ers.
The shop was again raided by the
police and the brothers were arrested
1t was discovered that on the previous
visit of the police the whole of the
stolen property was hidden III oranges
and citrons from which the pulp had
been taken.

rAR|NG AND SPECTACULAR .PLUNGER
Of WALL STREET HAS GONE FOREVER
pfCs Indifference Toward Stock Speculation Is Causing the
Passing of One of the Most Picturesque Elements in Our
Public Lfe-Men of Jay Gould Type Are No More

New Vork.-The twilight of Wall

the dry rot.
Certain it is that we have no Jay
Gould today-or an E. H. Hartman,

passed. These men are dead and there
are none to take their places. II as
biz things are put over" as in the old
DAYS. they are done now in secret
with the aid Of much law and lawyers,
through numerous agents and multi
udinous blinds and devices.
1T was not so in the older days.
Way back in the Black Friday era, Jay
Gould or jim Fiske wouldn't hesitate
at all to appear in the public share
mart and fay the opposing crowd OF
either bulls or bears with the utmost
freedom. Everybody knew what they
we're about and nobody thought OF
complaining in the sense of consider
ing their faults as of a public char
acter.
Later came the great speculative
eras Of our national life, when mil
lion share day" was considered moth
ing, when doctors and lawyers and
merchants gambled in stocks from
every hamlet, when the little specula-
tors were myriad and the big specula-
tors were fierce, if slightly more eau
tiOus than in the seventies.

gambling pit, John w. Gates and other
men Of his type leading speculative
campaigns which netted them tens OF

American people stood for them and
simply laughed.
Then the great outcries began.
They've never led to the actual gov

have put it almost hors de combat sim
