LIEUTENANT WOODS MONEY

Lieutenant Osborne G. Wood,
son of the governor general of the
Philippines has made a large sum
of money, and now certain Con-
gressmen are whispering about
him. They shrug their shoulders
at his statement that his gains
amount to about 100000 and are
entirely the result OF Wall Street
speculation. They are insinuatins
that his profits are much larger
and were made through invest
ments in the Philippines.
These insinuations should be
met at once. The issue Is not at
all whether Lieutenant Wood spec
ulated or really gambled. A spec
ulator is middleman buying
something which he has reason to
expect may bring him profit. He
bases his trades on q knowledge
OF the fundamental economic stu
alton and Of the industry and the
corporations in whose securities
he is trading. If Ne lacks such a
thorough knowledge, he is in real
ity 4 gambler.
Whether Lieutenant Wood specu-
lated or really gambled is not an
issue in this case. If he gambled
in securities, so do many others;
and there is no reason for singing
out Lieutenant Wood for cOndem-
nation. The only agency that has
Il right to object is the army, which
may reasonably lay down a rule
that speculation of any sort should
not be INDUCED in by a young Of
ficer, who should be devOtin'g his
time and energy to his military
duties.
For anybody except the heads OF
tho War Department there is only
one issue in this case. and that is
the issue presented in Congress-
man Frear's resolution to ascertain
whether any Of the associates OF
Governor General Wood have finan-
cially profitted by reason Of his Of
fetal position.
The resolution should he pass
ed, and prompt investigation
should be begun. Lieutenant Wood
should be given the opportunity to
disprove the insinuations which
the friends of Filipino independ-
cnce have been whispering in
Wa shingtOn.
The whispering should end.
Governor General Wood has had
a distinguished career. If anybody
has anything to say against him.
let it be spoken out loud so that
he may have a chance to prove its
falsity.-Chicago Journal of Com
merce.

LETTER FROM PRISCILLA BRAD
FORD TO MRS. MARY ALDEN
PRESCOTT

MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND:
Every little while it comes to me,
dear Mrs. Prescott, that there is
surely "a Divinity which shapes our
ends"
Perhaps that quotation is not
quite apropos to the thing ] have to
tell you, because it is not my end
that is the subject under discussion.
However, if the terrible thing which
] saw with my own eyes means what
/ think it does, it can mean nothing
else but the end of the marriage be-
tween your beloved son and that
irresponsible woman to whom he Is
wed.
Little did think when I came to
New York to see why my dividends
had not been paid upon that oil stock
that Providence had meant me 10 be
the vehicle by which you could prove
your suspicious.
That / have found that my oil
stock is worthless and the man
thought so nice william, really
means nothing to me beside the fact
that l will be able not only to dc
you a great favor but to make your
dear son understand just his position
as husband to the Haunting woman
he has made his wife.
You know when come to New
York l always go around to the diff
ferent hotels and look over the reg
lister to see if there is anyone whom
/ know in town. What was my sur
prise to find "Mrs. John Alden Pres
colt" on the visitors book at the
Waldorf.
I Immediately arranged dinner
party for the friends with whom
was staying, as I thought being alone
she probably would dine at her own
hotel. did not think that even she
would be so shameless as to wande,

ADVENTURE OF
THETWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Nancy and Nick and Tom Tinker
hurried down Broom street past
Wheelbarrow lane on down past
Jacks new house and the Pieman's
shop, and pretty soon they came to
the place where the street melted
away, you might say, into sort Of
big field.
And honestly, it did seem as
though the whole world was there
to see the circus come in. Certainly
nearly everybody in Daddy Gander
Land, except the mothers who were
trying to get the homework done up
so everybody could go to the per-
Torrance in the afternoon. And,
oh, yes, the daddies who were busily
working to make enough money to
send their families to the perform
ance in the afternoon.
Great golden wagons with marvel
Gus pictures painted on the sides
went rumpity, rump, thumpity,
thump! over the bumpy places,
teams Of black and white horses
were being unhitched and led away
to be fed, lemonade stands were be-
ing set up, and side-shows with pic
lures that would take you breath
away almost, were getting fixed up.
The swordswallower and snake
charmer and knife-thrower and the
fat lady and living skeleton and tat
tooed man were to be in them.
And above all was the delightful
terrifying roar of the lions, and all
sorts of sounds you could hear, but
not see-I mean see what, they were
coming from. But the elephants
were right out in plain view. No
body could hide them, or the camels,
or the last yard and half Of the
giraffes, which stuck up and out Of
their cages like church steeples.
Really it was almost as good as be-
ing inside the big tent, and there
was so much to see it was no wonder
that the three children forgot about
the lost Tweedles, Dunn and Dee,
for a minute or two.
| Indeed it was quite by accident
that they remembered. 1t was this
way. A balloon-man took Nick and
Tom by the shoulders. "Say, there,
you two. Where did you put my two
lunches of balloons? Have you lost
them or sold out?"
Lost" >Their GRAND popped into
their heads at the word, and the
thought Of poor Missez Tweedle at
home worrying.
"Why, you're not the two little
boys l gave my balloons to, to hold
for me-" exclaimed the balloon man
in surprise. ! beg your pardon.
! wonder where those two little fell
lows went? One had on a red stock
ing-leg cap and the other had on a
blue stocking-leg cap. Did you see
them?
why, we are hunting for them,
tool" cried Nancy. They're wanted
at home"
"Well, we'll, well!" said the bal
loon-man. 81 gave each of them a
big bunch of. balloons and I'll have
to have them back pretty soon.
| What do you say if we all 90 and
hunt! Come along! They can't be
far away!"
