news to influence the stock mar
ket, and cleaning up on the ,conse-
q0ent depression or initiation of par
ticular stocks. Once it was done in
this way: One of the members of the
staff of the Washington bureau of one
of the press associations was sent for,
and the information given him that
the oil wells in a certain rich field
would be exhausted, and yielding
nothing but salt water in a short time
This was the confidential report of
experts who had examined the field,
the reporter was told. He was also
told that under no circumstances was
he to divulge the source of his in
formation. The man who gave out
this information is nationally known
and generally respected.
The. reporter didn't like the sound
of the tale, and while he was debat-
ing with himself in the hotel lobby,
metropolitan daily entering the hotel.
He found out this man had gone
straight to the man he had just left
Evidently it was by appointment. He
became more suspicious. An hour
later another newspapermaM came,
evidently to keep an appointment with
the same man.
The consequence was that the wise
young man from the press association
refused to handle the story. How
ever. one or both OF the other men
used il, the stock was depressed con-
by the rumor-Wall street is
highly susceptible to rumors-and
the crowd on the INSIDE"
who had gone shortof this stock made
a killing.

SACRIFICE.
One gave a purse of minted gold and
passed along his way,
But what was precious to himself he Kept
for ease and play;
He danced with women fair at night ana
sang his merry songs,
Content that with his yellow gold ne d
righted many wrongs
And one there was who met the poor and
bought them meat and bread,
And quite forgot their bitter days when
once their mouths were fed:
He gave from out his Weil-filted purse the
stuff that could be bought,
But what they really hungered for was
more than Kissing thought
A third there was who gave his pence
but did not pass along,
He could not turn away frogA care TO JOIN
with dance or song
He knew the misery Of the world be 4e4t
il day and night,
He never merely soothed sWrengs oHE
tried to set 1t right.
There was In others poverty pain
which he could feel,
The tears in little childreHs eyes were
bitter tears and real.
He knew tomorrow must return with many
fche and sigh
And could not toss a coin TO want and
biithely travel BIZ.

The Fifty-SeTen Different Varieties
of IOYe-1.
A correspondent asks:

/ OA LONG-Is
| A correspondent asks:
Why do men love bad women more
than they do good women, and why
is man more faithful to a mistress
than he is to his wife,"
The answer to this is that they don't,
and aren't.
I know that there is a widespread
belief among women that the worse
a woman is, the more she fascinates
men, and that you can hold a man
more securely by a silken thread than
iyou can by a Iawser, but the fallacy
hasn't a single foundation in fact to
rest upon. 1t is true that there are
cases where a man loves a, wicked
woman, but it is in spite of her sins,
never because of them. 1t is also true
that there is an occasional MAN VINO
is loyal to an Illicit love, but he is as
scarce as hens teeth, whereas there
are millions of good and faithful hus-
bands.
| In proof whereof observe that the
vamp has to be always on the. job
of vamping, and that it is only. while
she is young and beautiful, and full of
pep end thrills that man love her
You never seen men hanging about
a bad woman after she has lost her
1 complexion and her figure, and her
eyes have grown bleary. and her hair
has gotten grizzIed, and her last s'es-
| tiRe OF physical attraction has gone
But we all know of good women
who are old and homely, at whose
feet men worship as at the shrine
of a saint.
AS for the theory that men feel
more bound by a sentimental tie than
they do by a legal bond-po of-for
that fairy talei Why. the one argu-
ment that is brought forward to jus
tify polyganly and the concubine sys-
tenn as it prevails in the Orient, is that
it forces a man to provide for. the
woman who has been his plaything,
and whom he breaks, and filings away
when he is tired of her.
For there are no romances that get
so bedraggled, and that wear out so
quickly as those under the rose. There
is no woman of whom man is so.
sure to tire as the one he does not re
spect, and whom he cannot introduce
to his mother, or his friends. There
is no relationship of which a man is
so sure to repent as that into which
he enters in the moment of passion,
and that he realizes in the cold gray
morning after, will handicap him thru
life.
There is no woman that a man so
wants to free himself from, as the
woman who is a drag about his feet,
and there is no woman SO badly
treated SO kicked about like a dog,
as the woman who represents to a
man the folly of a fancy that, is dead.
The cutters are full of women who
believed men when they told them
that the marriage yoke CALLED the mas
a man bound was to leave him abso-
lutely free.
They knew how little of this was
true, poor lost souls, when the men
to whom they had given all, married
wives, or went from them to- fresher,
younger faces, and they found them
selves thrown aside as fgnominously
as an old garment.

Few persons who had the pleasure
Of an intimate ACQUAINTANCE with w.
II Crosby can fail to feel that in his
death they have sustained a personal
loss. His life was devoted to helping
his fellow men, his town and to build
ing IN the business enterprise of
which he was the head. He found
his greatest pleasure in life in doing
these things. His pride in seeing the
Crosby Brothers store grow and de-
veIop was such as he might have felt
in a child If he had had one. The in
creased profits from an expanding
business were his least concern ex-
cept as they might enable him to do
more for people. more for Topeka and
make the store bigger, Better and
more serviceabIe TO the public.

Financial writers are calling .atten-
ton TO the fact that money is cheap
all over the world, cheaper than it
has been for several years. This sit
uation proceeds from the existence OF
more money than the business of the
world at this time demands It is not
likely TO change until the world gives
less attention TO politics and goes to
work. The banks have more money
Than they are able to lend, hence the
advance in the price of liberty bonds.
An Investment that pays 4 4 per cent
has come to look good TO those pos
sessing idle money. Unless there shall
be a speedy revival of industry liberty
bonds are destined to command a pre-
MUM But cheap money should act
as = spur to industry and probably
will do so. In fact it would be certain
TO do so If everybody were set to
work, thereby earning money with
which TO buy the products'of industry.
Most of our economic ills proceed
from the idleness' of the people. Tho
supsrabundance Of money at this time
proceeds from. the same cause.

And so then we sent for the surgeon.

with a keen eye and a sure brain
lou immediately felt his sympathy
ana knew his largeness of heart

The operation called for unusual
SKIN and judgment. But we trusted
the surgeon for both We gave the
brave young chap to his care and fold
him We trusted him
With accurate sureness of eye and
WITH fingers that obeyed, the surgeon
did his work. And he did it well.
And then they laid the patient
tenderly on his bed for the white
robed nurses to attend. The foIiowinr
hours. were full of discomfort and
anxiety, but the surgeon brought
cheer and hope to them every. time
his presence was in evidence.
Just the minute he entered the room
the very atmosphere took on a hue of
hope.
You could see that this surgeon was
giving every energy at his command
TO the work of his profession. He
loved It because behind it all there was
a great background of service that
urged him to each fresh task
Soon the one we loved came home
Color came back to his cheeks. and
with it the smiles so aracteristic of
other days.
What the surgeon did for this par
ucular life was but a fraction of what
he is doing every day in the year for
others When he rises in the morning
his first thoughts are of those who
need him and whom he loves to serve.
He rests only that he may be strong

The ultimate success of the Genoa
conference seems TO hang on the
chance that impoverished European
nations shall be able to borrow money
necessary for making a new start.
Since the United States has a large
share OF all the money in the world.
future borrowings from this country
may depend to some extent on the dis
position by those already in our debt
toward paying interest on what they
already owe.

the satisfaction of having given.
One day saw God coming across
Fifth Avenue in New York City in
the form of a little boy leading a
