 The people have been reading ana hearing about some of the wild scenes that Wall Street offered to spectators during some of the panfcs that hlt stocks and that drove the nnanclers in their wild excitement out Of their heads and caused them to tear from each others backs the very clothing they wore. But this is but the result of the penalties that gamblers have to pay. The fall of financial fnstltu- tions in the last few months brings some of the more pathetic scenes be- fore us.
 pisae manufacturer whose resources were quoted at above $l,000,90e, the result of activity and thrift, that coV- cred a period of more than fifty years brouyft one of the pioneers in the pl- ano manufacturing world to a. situa- ton, where 6 few thousand dollars stood between him &ld 8 complete wreck of the marvellous institution he and his sons had worked so hard to build. *sfs
 This incident disclosed the fact that r4any of the biggest dealers in the pi ano trade today have been doing bus mess on paper to such an extent that when it came to question of ready cash a percentage of them were not in position to get it,
 The other day Mir. R. c. Plaut of the R18UL-1Saueh COI1pdAN was urgently called to New York by one of these dealers and accompanied by MT. Ad elard Morin of the piano department he went
 Upon reaching New York and call- ing on this man, who came forth and burst into tears and said, MT. Plaut, I have labored hard for more than if xy years to build up what you know is one of the greatest manufacturing organizations in the piano trade today. My sons have been fnanciering and taking care of the office details. have been rated at more than $1,00O,- 600. My resources seemed to be in- exhaustibie but after the series of fi- nancial trouble that has hit New York, find myself facing the crisis of my life. I have now $4O,O00 worth of finished product on my floor, and am unable to raise cash upon it. My go-ca1led pretentious buyers offer to take the entire output but all of them have got paper to offer, notes running from 12 to Is months" and scornfully exclaimed What good is paper like tAtS for a. man who must have imnedi ate czsh?"
 After going over the situation care fully with MT.

COLONIAL THEATRE
"An Enery's Aid" and "Minister's
 Daughter" Two reels, Features.

Through an error, the Wednesday show at the Colonial was replaced by the show for Thursday, so to correct the system, the show advertised for Wednesday will be shown today. It has an immense two-reel Patheplay entitled The. Ministers, Daughter" {" which tells of an obedient son who marrfes according to his parents wishes, while the deserted sweetheart wears out her heart in sorrow. "An Enemy's Aid an exceptionally strong Lubin western drama has a plot that has to do with a rejected lover who to secure revenge, places a time bomb in a. powder house that adjoins his rivals house, but in his effort to get away, he breaks his leg, and is carried by the innocent lover into the doomed powder house and left to be the vic tim of his own fiendishness. He is rescued by the girl in the case, and all ends happily. "The Stolen Plans A sensational Edison production made in England under Marc MacDermott is a strong story of the English army. while the Talcum Powder Industry is an educational film, and "Emancipat- ed Women" a screaming comedy.

SCHOOL STATISTICS.
Superintendent Eby Has Issued H11
Report for Shawnee.

Although there are four times al
many men as women teachers in
Shawnee county, the men retain their
positions four times as long. Shawnee
schoolma'ams, according to John F.
Eby, county superintendent, do not
WELD the chalk and the ruler more
than a few years. They are usually
young and pretty, and have q habit of
marrying.
This explains why the average sal
nry for men teachers is 1924, and for
women only &57.65 per month. Super
intenderft Es0y is compiling his annual
report, to be filed with the state in
June.
The school year drawing to a close
has been an unusually prosperous one.
There has been larger attendance, more
schools, and more teachers. The coun-
ty maintains 80 school houses. 143
teachers; and teaches 4,5O0 children. ex-
elusive Of the city schools. Although
there are no school houses in Shawnee
Center. Ford, Potwin, Washburn, or
State Street districts, the youngsters in
these localities attend the schools in
Wakarusa, RosSville and Topeka.
OF the 143 teachers in the county, only
Is are men, most Of these holding prin-
cipalships. The county pays seven
more teachers than in 1912, when the
last report vas issued, and a larger
percentage are men.
Since the last report. Shorey
school, district No. AZ. has been built,
the Seabrook school dedicated, and q
two-room schoolhouse erected at
Dover.
County schools are divided into
two classes, rural and graded, the
graded schools employing two or
moro teachers. and numbering Sc out
of the total 143.
