WALL STREET

w 7 ALL STREET was originally
wv a proper name denoting a
street in New York City. Now
1t is an improper name used gem
orally as an epithet.
The real Wall Street is situated in
New York City midway between the
Club district and the bread line. It
is the popular thoroughfare to each
of these places and is always
thronged with travellers fighting to
get to one destination or the other.
1t is named Wall Street because SO
many people go to the wall there.
1t is a short, narrow street, about
two blocks long, three blocks high
and so narrow that thousands Of
people are squeezed every year try
ing to get through it. 1t is the
crookedest street in the world.
Sometimes it has as many as half a
dozen corners in one block.
Along Wall Street are the stock
exchanges and the Offices of a great
many permanent and temporary
rich men, alF OF whom are engaged
in watching the prices of stocks and
wondering whether they will buy
new automobile or pawn the old one
that evening. Riding up and down
the elevator of prosperity is the fa-
vorite Wall Street occupation. Here
men do not take the time to climb
the ladder of success. They use
balloon and the man who carries a
parachute is piker.
Wall Street is the second largest
menagerie in New York. 1t is full
of bulls, bears, lambs, wolves, sharks,
suckers and octopuses, while more

The Donkey's Head

Oh, Patrick was an Irishman;
For sport they called him "Mick,~
Because he was SO handy with
A shovel and pick.
Pat worked upon the section gang
AS Irishmen will do, s2s
And with him were two Englishmen
Alaboring there, too.
The Britishers-two foxy wigbts-r
They thought they'd play trick
While Patrick was a-working with
His shovel and his pick.
Not being of nimble wit,
They thought it quite joke
To paint a donkey's head upon
The back of Patrick's coat.
Pat noticed it immediately
The Democratic stamp
"Shure, Dim a shoyelin' Oirishmans
But, be jabbers, Oi'm no tramp"
And, turning to the Englishmen,
Who thought they had his goat,
Says: which wan of yez wiped his
face
Upon me Sunday coat?"

he could have been a far bigger
man If his parents had done their
duty toward him. But he's not
right in reiterating the fact.
Where can such reiteratlon get
him? The runner who finds him
self behind his opponents doesn't
sit down on the track and cry; he
redoubles his efforts. The man
who was neglected in youth should
thank his stars that he knows he
was neglected. knows it so bitter

awakening of ambition In him.

Wall street has been accused of
great many sins, most of which are
sins of commission, but it is not as
bad as it is painted. 1t does not
work on Sunday and it saves great
many foolish young men from be-
coming millionaires and getting the
gout. Wall Street is also very re-
ligious. The members worship the
Lord on Sunday and J. P. Morgan
on week days Moreover, we must
not forget, beloved readers, that it
was Wall Street which gave us
President Roosevelt by interring him
in the Vice-Presidency. This alone
should make US think very kindly
of it and patronize it whenever we
are in need of walls.
