Tom, alse. Come on! youd get your golf sticks—they're behind the trunk, Louise, slip on your Parisian frock, and DO tell me if I look niee? emeralds go well with the grass? Hurry! We may be introduced. Anyway, we can get up close to him!” And they trooped after him. They dogged his withered heels, They gazed on him from green to bunker; they dodged his drives from tee to the 18th hole, They whispered about him audibly, They wished he would take off bie wig so they could seo tf he was really as bald as the newspapers said. Furtively, greedily, boldly, with the morbid curtosity one might expect of ‘Arry and ‘Arriet, they maneuvered to see how close they could get without betng post tively rade, don’t you know, and then they opened their mouths until you could see half way dowa—and rubbered. John D., being mere man, after all, fled instanter and with haste te South Carolina. The pressure was too great. And the Dollar Worshippers at Bon Air relapsed tanto chill and disappointed Silence. Rockefeller, minus his money, is a good deal like common men. He breaks hie bread into his soup. He golfs as a part of his busi ness day—to maintain his health. It seems strange thet this old man shouldn't be allowed to play golf without a gaping following of the Froth of the Fringe of the Skirts of the Edge of that delightful something we call Our Boat Soctety. Would my No Money for Railroad Improvements So the poor, persesuted railroad oligarchy i» tottering on its in the bi and the white @ last legs, and the country may expect soon to return to canal boats, Ox carts and Stage coaches! Let's pause ond reflect before eternally too late. W. C. Brown, sentor view president of the Now York Central Mnes, does not see how, with the president and public opinion against them, the ratiways are going to secure any mouey for need- ed extensions and improvements, Nobody wi!! buy stocks and seeur- ities, he declares, in “a basiness against which every beamed hand seems to be raised.” It ls « fine theory of Brown's, were it not for some stubborn facta, It happens that his own company, the New York Contral, only two weeks ago sold $50,000,000 short term notes, and since Jan- tary 1 nine companies have sold $113,000,000 of the same class | hold, there will be revealed to you of securities, while within a few months raliroad capitalization bas been increased $350,000,000 by new ixsues. ‘This ts a lot of money—enough to make decided oxtensions and improvements, wore ft onfy wsed for those honest purposes. Is the public to beliewe there is no money for neoded improve ments when 2 number of the principal railroads have recently tn- creased their dividends? Ne money when a Harriman controls cap- ftal enough and bas confidence enough to plunge inte the possession of a half dosen whole rallroads? Anyway, railroad extensions and improvements are not made with money, but with debts. For fllustration, the 200,000 miles of operating railroads owe today enough money to reconstruct the en tire sytem.

It knows nothing about the practical operation of the railroads or the needs of the general business of the country, and cares nothing. Its sole concern is in the mantputation of railroad stocks and bonds in a great game of gambling. And one of ite principal ob- jecta has been to freese out the small investor, and to concentrate the actual ownership as well as the control into a few hands Perhape a few people still believe the railwny system of this country tg ron as a great public service institution. Not so It is run as & monstrous private graft by a few erafty scoundrels who dont know the meaning of public service and would laugh at it if they did. — i ee ee it CITY AT NIGHT BY STUART MACLEAN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-—“There are more bad boys than bad girls in the world.” Boys are naturally worse girts. The many societies that are try ing to help the boys and the girls of the large cities to be better are trying to find out why. Statistics that are dry prove the facta, but back behind long columns of figures are the ignorant, groping children who are trying to be good but do not know bow. And the parents of these thousands are powerless to help them. The bad boy fs in a terrible ma- jority, too.
