A. What? Thousands of dollars
or thousands of shares
@. Well. thousands of dollars?
A. Well, l had the largest mining
stock business, l think, in America.
. Pardon me, judge; / would
like TO make a little statement on
this brokerage bookkeeping. l will
state this, to start with, that there
isn't n bookkeeper in n thousand
that knows how to take care OF a
short" entry. AS bright a man as
Napoleon was, they explained it to
him for five days and at the end OF
that time he couldn't grasp a short"
sale.
@. That was the French Napoleon?
A. Yes, sir; and some of. our
greatest men in America cannot grasp
it yet. I believe / can explain here
all day and I don't believe any of you
will understand it. You are getting
into deep water here.
Mr.. Quayle: l think we will un-
derstand it, although we are not Ma
p~oleons. either French or American.
Mr.. Hulse: Well, now, l tell you.
Mr.. Quayle, there are very few men
in America, outside of stock brokers,
who understand the principle Of the
Short" sale--only four or five.
@. Oh. I see. Do you understand
it, Mr.. Hulse9
A. Yes: oh. YES.
The result of the trial would indi-
cate that Mr.. Bates had some slight
knowledge Of the principle of "short
sales" and is perhaps entitled to be
included in the above classification;
at least, he appears to have had an
inkling OF his legal rights.
During the testimony of the wit
ness William Biggane a chart was
introduced to show the rise and fall
OF the stock market about the time OF
the transaction in question.
Counsel for the defendant did not
take kindly to the use of what he
termed the weather chart and in
pointing out its shortcomings said it
failed to show the changes In the

MAYOR Of LANE CITY
IN TOLLS OF THE Law

Newton Cowan. Familiarity known
as the mayor of Lane City, was adj
judged guilty OF a charge of intimi-
dalton in the justice court last We'd
nesday and Judge Mcdonald imposed
a fine of $500. or in lieu thereof or
dered hat the defendant be confined
in jail for a period not to exceed
100 days. in accordanc with the pro-
visions Of the statute.
Cowan was arrested last Monday
or a charge made by John Lusetti,
who claimed that Cowan had threat
ened to take his life. The trouble
arose over a barn or cabin occupied
by Cowan and claimed by Lusetti.
which 1t Is said the latter intended
to remove.
When the officers went to serve
the warrant they found two friends
who would never desert Cowan.
These we're "Dinty'' and Casey"
two thoroughbred spaniel pups. They
were permitted to accompany their
master TO the courthouse and stood
guard outside the jail door until the
hour set for the ~arraignment, when
they showed every evidence of their
intention to stay with their distin-
guished master until the end.
Cowan demanded an immediate
hearing but some time was necessari-
ly required before the Ease could be
taken up by court and counsel. In
the meantime the mayor of Lane City
was loud in his denunciation of those
monkey wrenches which sometimes
slow up the machinery. When taken
before Judge Mcdonald the defendant
acted as his attorney for the
purposes of the arraignment. While
not al authorized practitioner he dis
played every evidence Of having prac-
ticed at the bar, and that OF recent
date in keeping with the times.
After the formal reading of the
complaint by the justice the defend
ant entered his plea Of not guilty and
then he made ii clear that he would
take advantage of every legal tech
nicality. He entered an oral demur-
rer to the complaint and gave notice
OF his intention to urge his point TO
the end.
At the request OF the defendant
the trial was set for Wednesday. and
when notified by tho court of his
right to be represented by counsel at
all stages of the proceedings he made
the statement in open court that he
had no intention of permitting any
of Ely's ''thousand-dollar lawyers"
to embrace his pocketbook.
At the trial of the case the defend
ant was represented by Attorney b.
B.. Belcher. who Immediately after
sentence was pronounced by the
court gave notice of his intention TO
appeal.

Machinery Tells Own Ills.

Most of us are, unfortunately, more
or less familiar with the stethoscope,
which the doctor uses when listening
for the signs of defective action in our
lungs or heart. 1t is not so widely
known that the same kind of instru-
ment can be employed to detect alb
normal noises in moving machinery.
The latest development in this work
shop stethoscope, due to a British en-
gineer, lies in the use of kind of
telephone receiver in place of the
stethoscope rod.
The advantage of this device is that
every bearing and every gear in a fac
tory can be fitted permanently with
a receiver and all the receivers can
be connected by electric wires to a
single board in the managers Office or
any other convenient spot. BY means
of suitable switches the manager can
exAmine each bearing or gear in sue
cession without moving from the
board. Since abnormal internal noise
is often the first sign Of trouble which
may lead to, breakdown, this simple
and rapid means of detection is an in
valuable aid to the factory owner
Victoria Colonist.

MUSKRAT IN TERRAPIN ROLE
Professor Reveals Secret on Finding
Bones Of Fur Bearer in Turtle
Dish at Lunch.

Only an absent minded science per-
terraDin stew into his pocket, instead
of on his plate.
"Now, isn't that just like bone
turning specialist?" said his host gen.
tally, turning to the group of servants
whom he was entertaining at luncheon
at a leading hotel, according to the
New York Sun. "If l thought that
you. wanted a skeleton of one of the
diamond backs l would have had the
chef save one for you, shell and ALL"
The science person Stirred uneasily
in his chair.
Sorry" he ruminated. Didn't
realize it. Not a good luncheon trick.
Silence and social graceS don't go to-
gether, do they? Such remarkable
bones for terrapin stew that 1 want
ed to study them"
Come, now, speak up, professor,
what kind Of anatomy was it? Baby
dinOsaur" -
"Oh, no." the professor said. "Such
terrapin are raised for the market
is considerable quantity in Dorchester
county, Maryland. Their fur is also
highly esteemed"
Right then and there something was
started. The head waiter was sent
for, and when pressed for details; said
that he was quite sure that the d1a-
mond backs had come direct from Bal
timore. The steward came next.
"Well," he said finally, "do you sup
pose there is enough terrapin raised
in this country to supply all the. ho-
tells? l should say not"
The bones which the professor had
disinterred We're those Of muskrat,
for in the county of Dorchester musk
rats are raised in large quantity not
only for their fur, but also as terra
pin par excellence. The dark brown
flesh is not unlike that Of the land
tortoise. MuskratS are clean feeders
when they have a chance and before
they are killed for the terrapin mar
ket they are carefully fattened on the
choicest materials. Only recently in
one of the French magazines there
was an article on the diamond back
in which due credit was given to -
County de Dorchester" in Amer
for producing such an excellent sub
stitute for a costly delicacy.
