In the most remarkable “get-richer-quick” inter- view which was ever printed in a newspaper, Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, told the readers of last Sun- Jay's World why high financiers intrust millions of dollars to each other with never a scrap of paper to show for the money. Said Mr. Lawson, speaking of a case in which the profits to the group of rich men were to reach $46,000,000: made @ record that could be pouldn’t get the $46,000,000, ‘What this means is thus explained: as society and the law are constitu it} bute LinseesIbUNGy fora few mente make tenes r poh eae » ‘The money for thg profit, Mr. Lawson declares, “must have belonged to the public, the people,” and ita to trust the other, but ement in writing en to court they " % must have been “taken sway from the people by’ yhandful of men’ * * * by what we may call ‘3 prop- millions increase. touch with of Hoard of 'Y | home, not exchanging reparteo across told while they better than in the was it more that goes on tgealy combos ecg? ly conspicuous ca‘ Bury your money in a bottomless well and see it draw oil.

It occurred to him that in matter where so much is wanted and so little can as yet be furnished, “probably pepe is of sanative, anodyne nature, and man’s Gullibillity not his worst blessing.” Thus, in dealing with a restless army, giving signs of discontent with the returns— —Were {t not well could you, as !f by miracle, pay them in any sort of fairy money, feed them on coagulated water, or mere imagination of meat: whereby, till the real supply came up, they might be kept together and quiet? Our “get-rich-quick” promoters are in truth dealing out. fairy money, and some of them furnish water which, if not coagulated, at least makes the stocks inflate. Thus far they have not failed to keep their army of the gullijle together and reasonably erg Doubtless they can feed the host some little e yet on “mere imagination of meat.” Pending the arrival of a demand not negligible for ~ “the real supply,” the author of “Gold Bricks of Speculation” is a real philanthropist in a world of sins, sorrows and “'eisy marks.” What's in a @ate?

Unless the lady has $50,000 a year and will have the french Count, the estates go by the board—or out of the family. It is a quest of the golden girl.

R, SIMON FATTE professor of political economy In the University of Pennsylvania, and Prof, Franklin H. Gtddings, of Colum- | ¢ bin, were both quoted in yester- day's. newspapers as saying that the social problem of thousands of mar- ried couples would be solved if the wife should continue, for a time at least, to be a wage-earner after marringe. “The whole social problem would be solved,” sald Dr. Patten, “were the wife to become an income-producer. I refer, of course, to young married couples where each before marriege was earning from $10 to $12 a week, and I believe that each should continue a wage- earner until the husband's income has risen to at lenat $20." Prof, Giddings stated that the em- ployment of women tended te elevate the morals of the community, and cited the French .niddle class aa the most moral and the most thrifty in the world. ‘There 1s a great deal of sound com- mon sense in both these views. But oh, #0 Mttle romance! And it {s upon To- manca that ‘the average young Ameri- wan household 1s founded.

Ina short time’ we may expect to see stories In the news papers lke this: “Drs. Cutt and Hack, of the Rénovation Hospital operated upon John Sawedup this afternoon in the pres ence of a large and enthusiastic audience. After they shad removed his head he showed signs of life, at which the distinguished surgeons expressed considerable sur- prise, With the ald of two bojler-makers they con+ structed 4 crown sheet on top of his spinal column and put a dull finish on his collar-bone, When all was In readiness to’ complete the operation it was discovered that the head had been mislaid. Helf an hour elapsed before a mischievous nurse produced the necessary p.ecs of John Sawedup’s anatomy from under one of the or chestra seats where she had hidden it. In the mean time Drs. Cutt and Hack took the petient’s heart out ang massaged it with a steel currycomb In the hope of keep ing his circulation intact. The head was finally restored with complete success. Sawedup will be bur‘ed to-mor- row. 7 “‘Such astonishing results have been accomplished by the eminent surgeons that they have concluded to give a matinee operation every day instead of, Wednes- days and Saturdays as heretofory. Red, white and biue trading-stamps will be given with every Ucket for @ reserved seat." “It takes a lot of nerve on the part of the surgeous to perform some of the operations they do nowadays,’ , commented the Clgar-Store Man. “Oh, I don’t know,” responded The Man Higher Ur “The patients can’t iick.”” GOSPLETS By the Passereby. oo } Snickers. in Rhyme.

Unlike man, the starfish which loses one of its “arma,” ot properly its rays, grows a new one to take its place. Undey certain’ conditions it grows two to tike the place of one. A starfisn may loae all its rays without losing its life, and very os.en 2 cripple with but a single ray left is found by fisher= ue , inen.and collectors. en completely broken in two the starfish becomes two distinct fish, and the growing process continues. The brittle starfish, {t is believed, in many ine stances bréaks off Its own rays at the approach of danger. Vor this reason it {s -aicult to obtain a perfect specimen. A starfish can nelther see nor hear, Neither hns It the sense of smell.
