New York. A Wall street brokerage
firm has got Itself Into troublo and
may be suspended by tho Consolidated
stock exchange becauso It recently
opened a women's department, fitted
up with a few rocking chairs, had a
woman In a whito Bwcater stationed nt
the ticker to read the quotations and
allowed woman speculators to como
down and bring their young ones with
them If they cared to which they did,
In somo cases. This is a punishable
offense in tho street. Not tho children,
bufthelr mothers aro the ones object
ed to. There aro no cries of Place
aux dames! In the stock market zone.
The establishment with the nursery
attachment to its women's department
is on New street, just a block away
from tho exchange of which tho firm
Is a member. It had really only Just
begun to build up ttio new branch of
Us business when tho exchange heard
of it and signaled the cnll to arms of
tho board of governors. This had the
effect of clearing tho women's room of
all children and of all but two wo
men, whilo the person in tho whlto
sweater who had been fingering many
yards of ticker tape wns supplanted by
a man.
You may search tho rule book of
tho Consolidated from cover to cover

women to como down and trado In

This feat, accomplished by tho resi

and the exciting eventB that preceded

In question. The Incident occurred In
the early '90s, when the railroads
practically made over tho maps of
many portions of the west.
"The ono great handicap of Cal
Hopo for that is, or wns, tho namo of
tho town, was the fact that It pos
sessed no railway connection.
"But ono day a man, glorying In a
gdnerous girth nnd n many hued
waistcoat, arrived In Calliope. To the
village president ho signified his do
6lro to meet tho vlllngo board, and It
was convened In session extraordin
ary that very evening In tho school
house. To this staid and deliberative
body the imposing stranger outlined
his plan for a newer nnd a better Cal

of Its members, which, as ono of tho
board of governors pointed out, might
be mudo to cover any number 'of

to feminlno speculators, ho said. The
fact that a sort of kindergarten an

Wall Btreet half expects to seo the

pretty certain that tho club and the
nursery will go out of existence. It

this In spito of tho fact that only a

of the railroad company.
"The supposition, however, was not

the rnilroad wished to como to Cal

sturdy burghers, but Calliopo would
offer no bribes. At this tho railroad
representative lost somo of his stiav

Calliopo did not choose to accept tho
generous compromise held out to it by
tho railroad, the company would mako
Calliope como to the road.
"Then ono day an ugly rumor was
afloat. It was whispered from mouth
to mouth that one of the councllmen

had bought a quarter section in tho

Of courso thero were many farmcra
