spit juts out. forming, according to j
Appieyard. "what you might call a j

you say.” To the west of it lies the
only good anchorage near the island—
one that can be termed such solely

other direction, it would profit them
as little to seek the cheerless shelter
of the life-saving station on Nasha
■.vena; it would require more than
man-power to free the cruiser from
the sticky clutches of the shoal, and
their chances of obtaining a tow be
fore the storm abated were positively
nil.
"You can tie to this." Anpleyard had
summed up: "they'll stay put till

give me time to 'tend to their cases

From whica pronouncement Coast
drew what comfort he could. . . .

apparently the brow of the island's

Man of Fallen Fortunes
He Wes Stirred to New Ambition by
the Act of a Cigar
Salesman.
"Cigars of tbe brand I used to
smoke." said tbe man of fallen for
tunes. "are. like those of many others,
made in various shapes and sixes, to
be sold al various prices, and of my
| favorite brand there was one partic
, ular size and shape that especially
. pleased ~r **Ocy and that I always
| smoked Stogies I usually smoke now,
, but occasionally, when I feel that I
can spare tbe money. I go in and
buy a few of those fine cigars.
"For one of these occasional fond
smokes I went in this morning and,
looking down into tbe case. I named
my brand and reaching into the case
tbe salesman brought out a box. But
* these were not of my size and shape;
! I indicated tbe ones I wanted, and
the salesman brought out that box—
cigars at six for a dollar, of which I
| now took three. I noted casually the
card on the box which the salesman
had first brought out. and that card
1 confess gave me a little thrill of
pleasure and then, what was better,
a stir of ambition.
"The cigars in that other box were
three for a dollar, and had not the
salesman brought them cut to me con
fidently ns if 1 were that sort of a
customer? He certainly had. and I
must look it And if I looked it. why
should 1 not be it? Why should t
continue to be a stogie man? Why
should I not retrieve my fallen for
tunes and far surpass them—come to
be not merely a six but a three for a
dollar man?"

WOMAN A BAD LOSER
Wall Street Brokers Draw the
Sex Line.
New York Consolidated Exchange
Firm Likely to Be Disciplined by
Board for Its Violation—Un
written Rule Exists.
-'Ic w York.—A Wall street brokerage
firm has got itself into trouble and
may be suspended by the Consolidated
stock exchange because it recently
opened a women's department, fitted
up with a few rocking chairs, had a
woman in a white sweater stationed at
the ticker to read the quotations and
allowed woman speculators to come i
down and bring their young ones with
them if they cared to—which they did.
in some cases. This is a punishable
offense in the street. Not the children,
but their mothers are the ones object- !
ed to. There are no cries of Place
aux dames! in the stock market zone, i
The establishment with the nursery
attachment to its women's department -
is on New street, just a block away
from the exchange of which the firm
is a member. It had really only just
begun to built* up the new branch of
its business when the exchange heard
of it and signaled the cal! to arms of
the board of governors. This had the
effect of clearing the women's room of
all children and of all but two wo
men. while the person in the white
sweater who had been fingering many
yards of ticker tape was supplanted by
a man.
You may search the rule book of
the Consolidated from cover to cover
for an article or a by-law forbidding
women to come down and trade in
stocks like the men. and to bring
their youngsters along with them, as
now and then a proud father has done
on a half-holiday, but you will not find
what you are looking for. The rule
exists, none the less. It simply Isn't
printed. The nearest thing to it In
print is a rule prohibiting "acts detri
mental to the exchange” on the part
of its members, which, as one of the
board of governors pointed out. might
be made to cover any number of
things. Among them is the catering
to feminine speculators, he said. The
fact that a sort of kindergarten an
nex went with the women's depart
ment had nothing to do with the case.
Wall street half expects to see the
proprietors of the New street rocking
chair trading club and day nursery
punished In some way—by suspension
from the exchange, possibly. It is
pretty certain that the club and the
nursery will go out of existence. It
will have to. Women who want to
dabble In stocks are as unwelcome as
a crook below the "dead line.” All
this in spite of the fact that only a
few weeks ago Mrs. Emmeline Pank
hurst told Wall street any number of
stories about women who bad gone in
to business and made a success of it.
"It's the experience of hundreds of
stock brokers that the woman who
comes down here to speculate Is a
bad loser.” said one officer of the Con
solidated recently. "Say what you
please about this being the day of
quality, but deep down in our hearts
we feel that there is a difference.
Stock gambling is a man's game. We
don't want women breaking in.”
This man was inclined to excuse the
New street brokers on the ground that
the firm had been a member of the
exchange less than two years, and
perhaps did not know better. If that
were the case the alarms sounded by
the board of governors when they
heard of the women's department and
its nursery annex had evidently taught :
the young firm a lesson. A visitor i
dropped in to see the feminine spec
ulators in action with their young
ones romping in the shadow of the
Quotat;on board and the ticker basket. :
but there was none of that to* be
seen.
"When a woman makes something
on the market.” said one broker of
thirty years' experience in the street, j
"she takes the credit of it all to her
self. It was she who did it. When
she loses, it was her broker’s fault, i
He deceived her. And a peculiar trait
is that In losing she cannot quite clear ■
her mind of the suspicion that what
she lost the broker gained.”
BOY CONVERTS OLD FARMER
Youth Demonstrates Benefits of Shal
low Plowing of Corn
Furrows.
Manhattan, Kan.—It took a boy 14
years old only a few minutes to con
vince a farmer three times his age
that the old fashioned method of corn
cultivation was wrong at Minersville.
near here. The boy, William Linscott.
had been taking the work of the exten
sion department of the State Agricul
tural college and was explaining shal
low cultivation at a community meet
ing of farmers.
When he had finished a farmer arose
and told that he always plowed his
corn deep, and demanded to know
why the shallow method was better.
On the blackboard William drew a
cross section between two rows of
corn. He showed how the roots were
interwoven and how deep plowing
would injure them. His explanation
was so clear that the farmer Immedi
ately accepted the new method as bet
ter than the old fashioned way.

Iowa Town Moved Two Miles
Community Is Betrayed by Coup of
Thrifty Councilman—Stampedes
Residents to New City.
Des Moines. Ia.—Wheeling a town
two miles overnight!
This feat, accomplished by the resi
dents of a thriving Iowa community,
ar.d the evening events that preceded
the municipal hegira were vividly re
lated by a former resident of the town
in Question. The incident occurred In
the early "90s. when the railroads
practically made over the maps of
many portions of the west.
“The one great handicap of Cal
liope—for that is, or was. the name of
the town, was the fact that it pos
sessed no railway connection.
“But one day a man. glorying in a
generous girth and a many hued
waistcoat, arrived In Calliope. To the
village president be signified his de
sire to meet the village board, and it
was convened in session extraordin
ary that very evening in the school
house. To this staid and deliberative
body the Imposing stranger outlined
his plan for a newer and a better Cal
liope. The Mississippi & Pacific
Coast railway—that was not its name,
but it will serve—he declared had de
cided to extend its projected line
through Calliope on its way to the
shore of the Pacific. As evidence of
the good faith of the company the
representative exhibited a map where
in Calliope was Indicated by a h'ack
dot. whose dimension were exceeded
by none—no. not even Chicago. The
stranger went on to point out the ad
vantages that would accrue to the
town by the fulfillment of the plans
of the railroad company.
"The supposition, however, was not
well founded, as he soon found. If
the railroad wished to come to Cal- i
ltope. well and good, declared the
sturdy burghers, but Calliope would
offer no bribes. At this the railroad
representative lost some of his suav
ity. &nd informed his audience that if
Calliope did not choose to accept the
generous compromise held out to it by
the railroad, the company would make
Calliope come to the road.
"Then one day an ugly rumor was
afloat. It was whispered from mouth
to mouth that one of the councilmen
who had been most emphatic in de
nouncing the railroad agent’s proffer
had bought a quarter section in the
path of the projected railroad, and in
company with the railroad advance
agent was laying out the new town.
Further investigation disclosed that
the councilman had bought an even
160 acres of land—what was more, he
had parceled it out in regulation city
lots, had opened a cracker box office
and was doing a flourishing real estate
business.
“The hegira continued. The the
same suave gentleman visited the
principal merchants of the town and
made them an offer of a free site in
the new city if they would move. It
was too much. Immediately there was
a scramble to secure the most desir
able locations In the new city—which,
by the way. he said was to be named
Haw&rden—in his own honor. One by
cue they set to work to move their
structures—which were of frame con
struction—two miles down the slope
to Hawarden.
“It was no use. And even the old
timers saw It- Mournfully they. too.
bade farewell to Calliope and betook
tbems|lves and their abodes to Ha
warcen, which grew to a city of 1,500
within a month.
"And Calliope? Well, what was
or.ce Calliope is now a flourishing
cornfleld."

Guinea Pig and Doll When

Wilmington. Del.—Seeing firemen

street and believing the house was on
fire, the two little daughters of Vic

got all about their own comfort and
thought only about their pets.
One of the girls gathered up a cat
in one arm and a guinea pig in the
other and the second child snatched
up her doll. They did not stop to get
a hat or coat, but were making for the
door without regard for near-zero
weather when their mother stopped
them.
Some one passing in Market street
had seen exhaust steam coming from
a pipe on the roof. and. thinking it
was smoke, summoned several Are

alone with her children at the time,

the firemen came Into the house, drag

Wedding Lasts Six Days
__ ' -k_
Syrian Groom It Given a Bath and
Shave by Men Guests at St.
Paul Nuptials.
St. Paul. Minn—Amid the glare of
400 candles and facing a gathering of
600 guests. Moses G. Toby, son of
George Toby, a Syrian wholesale mer
chant. married Victoria Zinnie of
Butte. Mont., at his father's residence
in this city. The ceremony itself was
the closing feature of an elaborate
Syrian wedding that has been in prog
ress for six days. Fellow countrymen
and wives came from all parts of the
United States to attend what they de
clare is the greatest Syrian wedding
that bas taken place in this country
in twenty years. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Nicola E. Yan
ney. rector of St. George's Syrian
Greek Orthodox church, Kearney,
Neb., and was done in purely Syrian
style. The pastor came here especial
ly for the nuptials.
In accordance with the Syrian cus
tom the groom was given a bath by
the men guests at the wedding. Each
held a wash cloth and in passing by
dipped it in the water and applied it
to the bridegroom. The bridegroom
was then taken to the parlor to be
shaved. He was lathered by the guests
and each stroked the razor over por
tions of his face.
