cost S73,5OO each. Practically no event in
Wal; Street has aroused so much inter-
est as the action OF Carlisle. Mellick &
Co., in showing such substantial ap-
probation for the faithful services of the
two employees.
Both young men were uniformed pages
on the floor of the Stock Exchange with
in the last ten years.
Members Of Carlisle. Mellick G. Co.,
made 1t clear that the young men had
done such splendid service for the firm
that no reward less than seats on the
Stock Exchange seemed in proportion to
their deserts.
Jay F. Carlisle noticed them on the floor
Of the Exchange and was impressed with
their alert, businesslike conduct-so much
SO that he employed them.
For several years the young men have
been employed as clerks in positions
where slight slips would involve the firm
to the extent Of thousands Of dollars.

Mnason. or Mnason T. Huntsman or
Madison T. Huntsman (rare), or Paul B.
NJ. Mnason, or simply Mnason-to use the
lone name by which he liked to be called
in the days when he was famous as the
founder of the Angel Dancers and the
Church of the Living God-is back again
after years Of oblivion, and is posing as
an artists model.
For almost a score of years Mnason
also called himself The Holy One" while
Angel Dancers living on "The Lord s
Farm" in the Pascack section of North
ern New Jersey.
But recently he has turned himself into
Santa Claus or King Lear or any other
whiskered person that the embryo John
Sargents of the Art Students League
wish him to be as he reports at the league
daily to pose for the students
From the last Of the sos until about
1900 the Holy One gave his attention to
being tarred, feathered and ducked In
ice water by irate neighbors, being ar
rested. serving sentences, conducting the
Lords Farm near Woodclifr Lake, being
evicted, quoting Scripture, writing hymns
and singing them and having his head

more irate neighborI.
Mnason first appeared In Northern New
Jersey in 1887 as a lay exhorter. He be-
gan to see visions and tell the details of
the visions In his sermons The visions
bore so marked resemblance to the
doing of the well-known cutups and men
about Pascack that one night hands
gripped the Holy One in the dark and

whiskers were shaved of

DECLARES PROSPERITY
sure IF HUGHES Wins
William 7. Galiher, Banker. Confident
of Republican Success.

Continued prosperity will be assured II
Charles Evans Hughes is elected to the
Presidency tomorrow, in the opinion Of
William T. Galliher. president of the
American National Bank. 1875 F street
northwest, and vice president OF the
Washington Bankers Association.
II feel confident" said Mr.. GalIiher
last night, that Mr.. Hughes will be elect
ed by very substantial majority. The
popular vote and the electoral vote will
show that Mr.. Hughes is the country's
choice. This is not alone my own opinion,
but view shared by many other local
business men with whom have come IN
contact recently.
THE present prosperity OF the country
Is predicted almost entirely upon the Eu-
ropean war. The Democratic party, al
though ii has claimed all the glory. has
been responsible for but little IL any of
the business boom. As soon as peace is
declared the prosperity of the United
States will be endangered. Until that
time the prosperity OF the country prob
ably Will continue regardless of who is
President. But when that crucial day
arrives II will be imperative that a man
foresight, a man of undisputed ability
be in the White House to direct the coun-
try's course.
That man Is Mr.. Hughes. He is the
man needed to establish confidence, to put
the prosperity OF the nation on a perma-
nent instead OF a temporary basis. 1t
will take man of such international
legal ability as Mr.. Hughes to handle the
problems that will arise when the worlds

II feel that with Mr.. Hughes in the
White House there would be a greater
feeling Of confidence on the part OF the
public. And / feel that the volume Of

THANKSGIVING BOUNTY
LESS AS need GROWS
High Cost of Living initiates Against
Holiday Job Among Poor.

The high cost of living has almost COM
pleteIy knocked the Joy out of life for
the poor of Washington, who will have
little cause for thanks on Thanksgiving
Day. Charitable institutions cannot serve
an old-fashioned turkey dinner to the
needy this year, because of high prices
]. +. Bennett, superintendent Of Central
Union Mission, 62 Louisiana avenue, and
II. w. Kline, superintendent of Gospel
Mission, PA John Marshall place north
west. are striving to provide as fitting a
repast as possible.
Last year these missions distributed
nearly 800 baskets of food to needy fami-
lies. While the needs OF the poor are
greater this year. the supply will be less.
The few baskets which will be given in
extreme cases of illness or destitution
will be minus the customary turkey and
other expensive articles.
Supt Benefits baskets include one
chicken, two pounds of sugar, one pound
of coffee, a 10-cent pack of tea. a head Of
cabbage, peck of potatoes. several tur-
nips, a stalk OF celery. a pint Of dried
peas. hominy, a haIf-pound Of butter and
two loaves of bread. Some baskets will
contain larger quantities, according to
the family's size. In cases of Illness
jelly donated by Sunday school classes
will be added.
Supt. Kline said he is puzzled what to
place in his missions baskets Roast
pork or beef probably will be substituted
for poultry. He is buying as much canned
goods as possible before prices advance.
Both missions are economizing to the
end that as many poor people as possi-
BILE may be fed Thanksgiving Day at the
missions Substantial meals will be pro-
vided, including roast meats, vegetables
and other dishes. Supt. Kline said that
because of scarcity of coal some poor
\ L. o.
stuffs given them.
Supts. Kline and Bennett tried to ar
range the customary meals for the
needy. but prices of staple products pre-
vented. Last year they bought chickens
for 16 cents~a pound. This year they
must pay o cents. Sugar has advanced
2 cents a pound, bread l cent a loaf. but
ter cents, coffee cents, cabbage nearly
100 per cent
Supt. Bennett remarked beans are
more than, a luxury. We have substituted
hominy."

PRODIGAL DAUGHTER
AS SOCIETY'S VICTIM
Double Standard in Morality De-
nouneed by Rev. DR.. ]. L. Gordon.

Emphasizing that the tragedy of mod
ern life is the tragedy Of the prodigal
daughter rather than OF the prodIgal son.
Rev. James L. Gordon. D. D.. preached a
stirring sermon on THE Prodigal Daugh-
ter. OF the Curse o; a Double Standard. ''
in the First Congregational Church,
Tenth and streets northwest. last even
Ing.
DR.. Gordon declared the prodigsl son Is
welcomed with open arms. while the way
ward daughter is thrown out into the
snow heap"
THE meanest application Of the double
standard" he said, ''is to the fallen
woman. the social outcast. She bears the
brunt Of 1t all. There Is an element Of
crookedness and rottenness in the whole
Thing. The girl is thrust out because We
are crooked all through"
Strong thoughts of DIR. Gordon's sermon
were:
IF you are false in one thing you are
false in all. Wrong thinking is the moth
er Of wrong doing. Right thinking Is the
mother of right doing. You cannot think
crooked and live straight. Because OF
wrong thinking we are wrong in life. II
a man has a wrong heel he has a wrong
head. Beware OF the man who says bust
ness is business, religion is religion and
politics is politics. There Is something
crooked about that mans methods"
Dr. Gordon outlined the following double
standards:
There is a double standard enthroned
In the legal realm. The rich man gets
more consideration before the bar than
does the poor man. II Harry Thaw had
been the son of a poor man he would be
dead and buried long ago.
There is a double standard in the pull
pit Some ministers believe one thing
and preach the other. The sin which
blasts is the sin of insincerity.
The church has a double standard. One
member will be more welcome than the
other. We forget that the common peo-
pie are the coming people. We shake
hands with a man and then shake him.
Some people spread themselves rather
than spread the gospel.
There is a double standard In the social
realm. The successful man is always ad-
mitted without regard to his moral quail
fications
The commercial realm has a double
standard. A young woman will get IS a
week for a certain work A young man
will receive So for the same work. Such
a condition is largely responsible for the
white slave traffic and the prodigal wom-
an. Cheap girlhood means cheap woman
hood and cheap character.
There is a double standard in. the in
dividual A person will say one thing to
your face and another behind your back. d"
Dr. Gordon's remarks were based upon
the text from Leviticus 4:z2. Nearly Loo
copies of his booklet, "A Plain Talk to
Young Women" were distributed at the
service.
DR.. Gordon has just come here from
Winnipeg. Canada. He is prominent in
the literary world, having written sew
eral widely known books and pamphlets
on religious topics.
