The truth is that Wall street has had a dearth of spectacular plungers. Only one has been in the public eye during recent years, Jesse L. Livermore. And curiously, little or nothing has been heard of him during the present boom. Percy Rockefeller used to be freely mem tioned in brokers offices as swinging big movements, but his name also has been very little in the limelight lately.
 Wall street has lots of thousand-share men but few one-thousand-share men. Some of the richest men in the country amtse themselves by dabbling in stocks on a modest scale. H. c. Prick used to get lots of fun out of doing this. It is said that John D. Rockefeller some times amused himself by buying and selling one hundred-share lots, Some of our present-day automobile leaders, besides Durant, play the market on a fairly ambitious scale. Some steel men are reputed to be energetic spectators, although neither Judge Gary nor Presi- dent Farrell, oe the Steel corporation, is included. sg
 The public would be astounded could they see how many men living in small cities and towns follow the ticker with eager interest and speculate on a scale quite heavy in comparison with their means.

 A friend tells me an incident about Charles H. Markham, president Of the Illinois Central, which recalls an expert ence James J. Hill was said to nave had once when he summoned a special train to rush him to the Mayo Brothers medical institution at Rochester, Minn. The story Is that when he got there MT. Hill was politely but firmly in formed that neither of the famous doc tors would be able to see him that day or the next, but that he would have to go through Q lot Of prelimtnartes ana wait his turn.
 MT. Markham, it is related, sometime ago went to consult a smallstown dent ist who has won a great reputation and built up an enormous practice. Being a very busy man, MT. Markham sent his card in the moment he got there. But he was left to sit and cool his heels and nurse his toothache until long line of patients had been treated. When MT. Markham's turn finally came, the dentist remarked thats everybody re- ceived equal treatment there. MT. Mark ham, instead of being angry, apoloe- gized and strongly commended the dent list for adhering strictly to bis policy.
