Jim's Wonderful" Friend
By ARTHUR B. W

M but u woman can coddle a man
and let him know that she Is stufiing
him without rcpelling him. Instead Of
repelling she winds him round her fin
ger while she is feeding him poison.
But | know 1t all now. Jim was
married. and when he returned from
his wedding trip he tried to grasp my
hand with fervor. but 1t was not the
same fervor as before. I knew that
had been supplanted, and, more than
this. l knew that his wife had under
mined his good opinion OF me Then
1t became apparent why she wished
Jim to bring me to see her. She
couldn't attack one she had never seen.
or IL she did her onslaught would have
had no weight. She must have some
thing tangible to attack.
$50 this Is the wonderful man." I
doubt not she said after seeing me,
that you have been lauding to the
skies. Why did he not say some Of
those bright things that you have SO
often spoken of? Didn't feel well
enough acquainted? l suppose l shall
have to wait till he does. Some day
when he feels more at home here l pre-
sumo he will deluge us with his wit"
What n melancholy awakening jim
must have had after this first in
spection by his ladylove of his bosom
friend to discover that | was after all
a commonplace person. And how sim
galar 1t is that these creatures. who do
NOT Inou- tho d;Rarapoa hofvraap a
syllogism and sole leather. can produce
on a man of intellectual vigor the effect
they require by mere irony! Jim had
known me intimately for years, and
yet by a few words a woman had shat
tered his idol.
Jim has a relapse occasionally and
drops into my room for a bit Of "old
times" as he calls them. But he
knows they are not old times; they are
altered times. Doubtless he thinks
that for him they are changed for the
better; that he is leaving me in a sta
%tionary position. while he has ad-
vanced. At any rate. l have noticed
that those things l continue to enjoy,
or think enjoy. are beginning to bore
him. III l speak or q new play on the
boards he will turn the subject to the
smart sayings of his little Jim. Then,
too. he has become absorbed in piling
up money for his wife and children
after he has gone. He says it is awful
to think of leaving them without sup
port. 1t seems to me that in getting
married he gave up all the fun there
is in life to make a slave of himself.
Sometimes l wonder whether If Jim
and l had grown old as bachelors we
would have maintained the same in
terest In each other. l fear not. Men
develop OIL different lines. Some men
don't develop at all. At any rate. I
find that association with any one does
not interest me as it once did. l Won
der if l will some day regret not hav-
ing put my head in one Of these pestif-
erous matrimonial nooses.

For the Paper's Younger Readers
WHEN CHOPIN WAS A BOY.
Parents of Great Musician Encouraged
Him to Study.

~
When we speak or think of a great
musician we always have a picture in
our mi, ] of a big man with Il wonder
full soul and big. wonderful hands TO
execute his musical thoughts. Take
Chopin, for instance. Did you ever
think of him as a bright, happy little
boy. o%verfiowing with spirit? When
he was nothing more than a baby he
would sit erect at the sound of music,
and his toys would lie. forgotten. on
the floor near by. while his brown eyes
would fill with tears of exquisite pleas
ure as he listened. Almost as soon as
he could walk he would toddle over
to the piano. climb up on the stool ana
try to make music for himself.
You see, his parents had a great love
for music, and they hoped that their
children would take after them. A
fine master was engaged to come from
Warsaw TO give him and his older sis
ter lessons. They both progressed
very well, and both teacher and par
ents were delighted with the melodies
which came from his tiny hands. AS
he grew older he would make up sto-
ries ON the piano. and even after his
fame became worldwide he had the
wonderful gift of ~improvising.
Those who had the privilege of hear
ing him play were wrapped in silence
to catch the divine sounds which pull
stated through the room from those
slender fingers.

Double Margins

Many stock exchange houses respond
ed TO that pressure today by notifying
their clients that they would have to
double the amount of their margins in
these specialties. Heretofore the chief
speculative stocks, with a few notable
exceptions. have been carried on 90
point margin. Hereafter the margin viii
be 40 points, at least until such time as
the market becomes normal again.
Many Unable to Comply
When the demand for more margin
was made today many buyers were un-
able to comply with it and a wave of
selling orders swept over the exchange,
carrying stocks down from four to Is
point. A recovery was noted later in
the session, but the close was off from
three to 10 points from the high level.
Official cognizance of the situation was
taken by the stock exchange at a spe-
cial meeting of the governing commit
tee. 1t was the unanimous belief of the
committee that something should be done
at once to curb speculation. The de-
mand for more margin seemed to be suf-
ficient for the first step, so the commit
tee decided simply to sound a warning

New York, Oct. 5.-The amount Of

Anglo French bond issue. it was said
authoritatively tonight, is approach
able in the number Of subscribers but
not considerable in terms Of dollars

in for relatively small amounts. With
the closing Of the Underwriters books
today, it was announced that the total
of all subscriptions would not be made
public, but that the loan had been
over-subscribed.
There seemed to be good grounds for
the report that the over-subscription
would be between $5.000.o0O and $1U.-

six largest applications alone took
