Ways of the Men Who Lose Their All
In Wall Street.
What becomes of the men who lose
hi Wall street. They are seldom heard
of. The visitor to New York gets the
notion that the gay crowd of men at
the Waldorf—the "uptown ‘street’ ”—
comprises lliotn all. But this crowd
is altogether misropresentiitlve and has
no true sign value, says a writer on
Wall street In the New Broadway Mag-
ns! ue.
You can retain your equilibrium easi
ly In watching them by remembering
that Kunn.’r of New Britain is hid
ing somewhere, u fugitive from jus
tice; that .lumper of Milwaukee Is In
prison; that there are many other men
who went down hard with big crash
es, and that for every one of the big
men there are 10.000 little men whose
losses are smaller, but not a whit less
fatal.
You would find some of them tonight
in Now York, if you knew In what
window to look, figuring anxiously and
endlessly, looking over Insurance pa
pers to see if further loans are ad
missible.
Their wives are sewing; their daugh
ters are studying stenography. You
will find others hanging about hotel
lobbies, and the moment you catch
their eye or grip their hands you know
that they are nervous, distraught,
broke, restless—typical Wall street vic
tims.
The others, professionals, parasites,
satellites, winners, you will find In the
cafes and hotel restaurants, making
up a largo part of the crowds at Sher
ry’s and Delmonlco’s, Mtmin’s and
Rector’s, the Waldorf, Manhattan, As-
tor, St. Regis and Holland House.
Wall street by day demands the Great
White Way at night. From the mo
ment the market opens till its close the
game is a fast and furious one of
sharp trickery, clever dodging, raillery,
bluffing, hypocrisy, lying.
Nerves are constantly tense; the
brain must be clear and quick at ev
ery move. Successful lying uses up
gray matter, and the flash and festivi
ty of the Tenderloin at night are just
unnatural enough to fit in and offer
the kind of recreation desired.
SAW HIS OPPORTUNITY.
it
Tiie Reporter Seized It and Got H;o
Real Start In Life.
All (lie city traveling public loves a
strap hanger because It has a fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
of how Frank Yanderjlp, the bunker,
got Ills start Ins an almost universal
appeal. It happened when Vnndorlip
was a reporter on a Chicago newspa
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then, ns now, was al
most impossible. Charles T. Ycrkcs
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea of the financial condition of tlie
properties.
The time for the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr.
Yorkcs had rattled off the reports In
the usual undecipherable corporation
way. and no one knew what was do
ing. So Vnndorlip planned a coup.
He bought a share of stock, which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before ho became
a newspaper man. When Mr. Yerkes
sailed lino Ills breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said. Mr. Yerkes used
one striking phrase, and it was this;
"Th passengers who have seats pay
the i ing expenses, but the strap
hangers p / your dividends.”
The ne;:. the sentence topped
Vanderllp’s reenrut of the meeting.
It aroused a storm of discussion, for it
laid Imre some of the traction methods;
also it got Vanderllp a raise in salary
and a promotion.—Saturday Evening
Post.

A Bit of Sarcasm.
A young man who had prolonged his
call on ids sweetheart a few nights
ago was surprised when a window in
an upper story was raised as lie left
the house and Hie voice of the mistress
called out, “Leave an extra quart this
morning, please!”—Argonaut.
Her Fourth.
Lawyer— As your husband died in
testate, you will of course get a third.
Widow—Oh. I hope to get my fourth.
He was my third, you know.—Town

Nothing Like That In America.
“This was told me tiie other day,”
said a man, “by a friend who has just
made the tour of Ireland. lie was at
the hikes of Klllarney, and a jarvey
driving one of those side seated ears
was telling him of a visitor who was
utt^npting to masquerade as an Amer
ican, hut had all the outward signs of
being an Englishman.
“ ‘You say, sorr,’ said the jarvey,
‘that you live in the United States.
Were yez lver in Dubuque, la.?’
“ ‘I was,” said the traveler. ‘I was
there for a fortnight’
“ ‘Off wkl ye!’ said the carman. ‘Ye
were niver there. Dlvil a fortnight do
they have in America.’ ’’—Indianapolis
News.
Getting It Right.
It was on a street car in the city of
Washington. Two colored women in
Cheaply gorgeous splendor were talk
ing and one chanced to mention a Mr.
Jinks in her conversation.
“Excuse me.” said the other woman,
“but his name Is not Jinks. It is Mr.
Jeuks.”
“Oh. I sees.” said the other woman
cotnpln!santb\ “I sees that yon puts
de access ou de pronoun.”
