BLACK FRIDAY.
The Mad Scene In (lie <>»ld ltoom oil
That OCOIINIOII.
lii the middle of the gold room was a
6inall fountain. Around this the day's
proceedings began, writes T. Ilendrick
in the American Magazine. Jay Gould's
own brokers, pale, haggard, half dis
trustful and half ashamed of their
work, started the bids. Gold had closed
the day previously at 144. Now a
Gould broker offered 143 for SIOO,OOO
gold.
His only responso were the curses
and list shakings of a bedraggled, per
spiring crowd.
"Oue hundred and forty-six for SIOO,-
000 gold."
Still there was no response.
"One hundred and forty-seven."
Each advancing point meant millions
In profits to Gould and likewise mil
lions in losses to the community. At
every advance the crowds, losing all
restraint, alternately roared and wept.
"One hundred and forty-eight."
J'One hundred and forty-niu£"
Above the pandemonium the monot
onous voices of the Gould brokers could
be heard, quietly, remorselessly putting'
up the price.
"One hundred and fifty."
"One hundred and lifty-one."
At this point the buying began. Hith
erto the crowd had been held magical
ly spellbound. The audacity of the
Gould brokers had paralyzed all. Board
brokers were particularly dazed. In
face of the clique's demonstrated pow
er no one seemed able to bid, even to
make the feeblest attempt to check the
terrible rise.
A few uptown merchants now, how
ever, started to purchase. Soon the
bidding degenerated into panic. Ev
ery one scrambled to get his gold
now while the price, judged by what
had already happened and the unques
tioned power of the gang, seemed low.
All purchases, however, meant enor
mous losses.
Fortunes accumulated through years
of self sacrificing toil were swept away
In a moment. In their craze men ran
aimlessly about the room, moaning,
screaming, vainly appealing for help.
Outside, where the crowds breathlessly
wnited announcements, the same scenes
were repeated. Ruined men, unable to
get into the building itself, pushed,
cursed and fought. At each rise In the
price the rage against Gould Increased.
When the bid reached l« r »0 there were
cries of "Lynch! Lynch!"
And meanwhile what was the plotter
of all this mischief doing? lie was
selling gold. To whom was he selling?
To risk and all his own associates, lie
was the only man who really under
stood the situatiou—who knew, that Is,
upon what a Uimsy basis his "corner"
rested. lie sent Fisk, Belden and
JSpeyer into the gold room to advance
the price ostensibly for the benefit of
tlie clique, and when It had reached a
certain point unloaded on his own ac
count. He had sold largely, unknown
to his confederates, the day before.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Success doesn't amount to so much if
a lot of age goes with It
now many things we all have to do
that "goes against the grain."
If you are willing to spend money on
your fads you can find plenty of en
couragement In them.
No man says exactly what lie means.
To do that would require too much ex
planation and qualification.
When you havo no other reform to
think about, here is one that is always
Important and timely: You talk too
much.
Tho kicker attracts atteutiou for a
, time and affords amusement, but in a
! little while people become very tired of
1 him. And how he is hated in his old

"Unto One of the
Least of These"
By RICHARD DARKER SHELTON
Copy light, 1905, bu Rulty Douula*
Van Ruyven followed the butler up
the wide stairs, Inwardly amused at bis
own trepidation. It was most absurd,
lie told himself, for a man to feel as he
did under those circumstances. There
were certainly no logical grounds for
Lis vague fears. Still there was tho
haunting possibility that tho bishop
might raise objections. Remote tills
possibility was, to be sure, but none tho
less potent. Van Ituyveu remembered
the time there had been a case pending
against him In the courts. It was a sib
ly case, trumped up by an ambulance
chaser. Ills lawyer had told him from
the first it was nothing to worry about.
And yet he had been more or less dis
turbed until the jury had brought in its
verdict In his favor. Ills position now
as he mounted the stairs in the wake
of the solemn butler seemed analogous.
At the head of the stairs the butler
drew aside the leather portiere, and
Van Ruyven entered the big, dim
study. A fire crackled cheerfully upon
the hearth and sent flickering shadows
dancing up and down the rows upon
rows of books. Near by a green shaded
lamp threw a soft light upon a table
littered with books and papers.
As Van Ruyvcn crossed the threshold
a fine figure of a man rose from Ills
Beat by the table and came forward
with outstretched hand.
"Arthur, I'm glad to see you," said
the bishop, with a sinile that left no
doubt as to the sincerity of his words.
"Sit down here by the lire ami give an
account of yourself. I count myself in
luck that you tafce the trouble to come
up here to see mf when Edith Is in the
house."
He drew two comfortable chairs be
fore the fire and motioned Van Ruyven
to one of them.
"Now, then, what sort of absolution
do you want this time?" the bishop
went on lightly, "or perhaps you came
up here because you know I'd let you
smoke."
Van Ruyven smiled. "Thanks, I will
smoke if you don't mind," he said,
drawing out his cigar ease. He selected
a cigar with as much care as if the
fate of an empire hung upon his choice,
clipped the end and slowly lighted it.
lie smoked abstractedly for a moment
or two before ho turned to the bishop.
"The fact Is," Van Ruyven began, "I
have come to you tonight with a very
delieate mission."
"AJi, I see." The bishop's words
were formal, noncommittal, but bis
clean shaven, kindly face lighted up
with a smile of understanding, and
there was a hint of mischief In the
gray eyes. Van liuyven was looking
into the fire again. Ho puffed nervous
ly at the cigar.
"And this delicate mission?" the bish
op suggested mildly.
"I came, sir," said Van Ituyven,
speaking very slowly, "to ask you If
ycfti would have any objections to me
as—as Edith's husband—that Is," ho
amended quickly, "if Edith herself has
no objections. You see, I haven't ascer
tained that as yet."
The bishop straightened himself In
hi* chair. With his broad shoutders
and his iron gray hair he was a decid
edly imposing man. Just now he re
garded his guest with an odd expres
sion, half of affection, half of amuse
ment.
"So you came to me first," ho said
quietly. "Rather a rare procedure In
these degenerate days. You show a
delicate deference, sir, to certain ideas
that I inherit from my aucestry on the
other side of the Mason and Dixon line.
I think I shall have to Index you as a
master tactician," he ended playfully.
"Then you have no objections in the
matter?" asked Van Kuyven.
"Bless my soul, no," laughed the bish
op, "and If I read Edith rightly she has
noue either."
He leaned forward in his chair and
regarded the younger man intently.
Ills face became suddenly grave.
"There Is something about Edith,
however, that I must confide to you,"
he said, "something that no one alive
knows save I, myself. Under the cir
cumstances, Arthur, you should know
It too. I disclose It under the seal of
tae confessional as something you must
never mention at any time nor under
any stress."
Van Uuyven bent his bead slowly In
acknowledgment of his obligation.
"Edith," said the bishop very gently,
as if even the confession of it cost him
a pang, "is not my own child."
Van Ruyven sat up in surprise. "Not
your child?" he repeated incredulously.
*'No," said tlie bishop. "Years ago,
when I was in charge of a very humble
country parish, she was left on the
steps of the rectory one night, a tiny
mite, wrapped in an old horse blanket.
We Intended at first to send her to an
I asylum, but there was something
| about those big dark eyes and those
tiny arms even then that cried out to
I us. You know there were never any
children of our own, and she came to
fill the vacant niche In our lives." lie
j paused a moment and smiled reminis
| cently. "I thought you ought to know
of this, even If—
"My dear bishop," Van Ruyven inter
rupted, "I doubt If she could have been
really more yours had she been born to
you. Why, she has your ideas and your
traits. Sne even has >our penetrating
way of looking at one."
"I don't think the accident of her
birth has ma very much
with her or with me." the bishop said.
"My own daughter could not have been
more to me, Arthur." The bishop's
j eyes were moist In his earnestness.
"She lias never once disappointed me.
Even her intentions seem to be mine."
There was a commotion downstairs,
then the sound of footsteps on the pol
ished stairs and a vigorous knock on
tlie lintel. The portiere was whisked
aside, and an excited maid came into
the room—so excited that she gave 110
heed to the bishop's frown of mild re
proof at her unseemly entrance.
"l'laze, sor," she gasped, "Miss Edith
do be wantln' yer downstairs at wance,
sor. They's been a baby lift on the
doorstlp."
The bishop almost sprang from his
chair. "A what?" he said.
"A baby, sor, lift on the doorstip,
sor."
"There seems something almost omi
nous in this coincidence, Arthur," lie
said nervously. "Pardon me a moment.
I'll be back directly."
After tho bishop had left tho room
Van Ruyven tiptoed cautiously into tho
hall and peered over tho banisters. It
was Indeed a strange group that stood
in tho hall below—Mrs. Briggs, the
iiousekoeper, with the much swathed
foundling In her arms; Edith, tall and
stately, standing near by, her arms and
neck showing like ivory against the
dark tapestry on the the bishop
peering Into the depths of the old shawl
that wrapped the child; two maids
craning over his shoulder and the statu
esque Iliggins explaining to such as
cared to listen how he had come to find
tho bundle when he had answered the
bell.
"And what'll we do with it?" asked
Mrs. Briggs when lUggins* tale of woo
had come to an end.
"Do?" said Edith. "Why, we'll take
it to tho home, of course."
"My dear," the bishop remonstrated
mildly, "why not keep It here with us?
To take It to the home seems to mo to
bo very much like casting it Into outer
darkness. Of course we can't look after
all the waifs, but suppose wo take this
one, who has boon left at our very door,
and give It a chance in the world."
Edith laughed unsympathetically.
"Why, father, dear, what a silly idea,"
she began. "Of course we can't keep
It."
" 'lnasmuch as ye have done it unto
0110 of tho least of these,'" quoted the
bishop.
"A very pretty sentiment," said the
girl, "but most unpractical. You
haven't the least Idea what instincts
this child may have. You would prob
ably give It every advantage in the
world only to have it disappoint you at
every turn. It would probably grow up
a most ungrateful little wretch. They
always do."
Van Ruyven tiptoed back into the
study and sat down before the fire. He
heard tho group below go into the re
ception room, and their voices came up
to him Inarticulately. For a time he
sat there, smoking In a preoccupied
manner. Then he heard Edith's voice
in the hit 11 below giving orders to the
servants.
"Iliggins, telephone for the carriage,
and Mrs. Briggs get on your things,
please, and be ready when It comes.
We'll take the child to the home. I'll
go with you. I can't conceive why
father had such absurd notions about
keeping it here."
A little later the front door slammed,
there was a rumble of carriage wheels
without, and then Van Ruyven heard
the bishop's steps slowly ascending the
stairs, lie came Into the study and
stood for awhile looking silently Into
the fire.
"Did you hear it?" he asked at |
length, turning abruptly to Van Ruy
ven. The younger man nodded. The
j bishop sank rather heavily into his
chair.
"She's not mine! I was mistaken!"
he burst out. "She Is no daughter of
mine, after all!"
Van Kuyven rose. "I think I'd best
go now," he said simply. "Flease don't
tell Edith that I have been here nor
why I came."
The bishop looked at him narrowly.
"It will be hard for her," he said, "but j
I think you are justified."
Suddenly the bishop's head drooped.
There was a stifled sound very like a
sob.
"She said it would grow up an un
grateful little wretch, and she was
right, Arthur; she was right."
A Pnthfllc Incident.
There is a pitiful story told in the
Bookman of Philip Bourke Marston,
the blind English writer. One day a
particularly good Idea came to him,
and he sat down to his typewriter with
enthusiasm. lie wrote rapidly for
hours and had nearly finished the story
when a friend came in. "Head that,"
said Marston proudly, "and tell me
what you think of It." The friend
stared at the happy author and then
at the blank sheets of paper in his
hand before he was able to understand
the little tragedy. The ribbon had been
taken from the typewriter, and Mar
ston's toll was for nothing. He never
had the heart to write that story again
Power of Snlphnrlo Acid.
An Instance of the great dissolving
powers of sulphuric acid Is furnished
by an accident which occurred in the
chemical factories at Mulhouse, Al
sace. An operative was blown up Into
the air and fell Into a trough filled
about three feet deep with sulphuric
acid, the temperature of which was
found to be 01 degrees C. ten hours
after the accident. The death of the
man was only proved by the discovery
of his caoutchouc respirator, muzzle
two porcelain buttons and other Insol
uble articles. Everything else had
chemically combined with the acid.—

Trop'.cal rivers vary greatly in vol
ume in the rainy season sweeping to
the sea In vast torrential floods and
near the end of the dry season flowing
slowly and only In the central and
| deeper portions of their beds. The
Kongo, however, the largest river In
Africa, rises and falls very slightly,
and Commander Cameron accounts for
this peculiarity, which was at one time
considered Inexplicable, by the observa
tion that the basin of this great river
extends on both sides of the equator,
and therefore one moiety of its tribu
taries are In flood while the other are
at their minimum volume.

It la a Carionn Little Craft That la
Cranky, Yet Safe.
It Is In Greenland that the hunting
ability of the Eskimo reaches Its high
est development. lie has a flue me
chanical skill. Bones, Ivory, stones, a
little driftwood, skins and the sinew
of the reindeer are the materials from
which he must make his boat and
weapons. There Is nothing else. Says
a Greenland traveler: "Of these the
Eskimo builds a canoe, Its frame of
bones and driftwood, Its covering of
translucent sealskin sewed together
with sinew. This kayak Is decked over,
except for a hole In the middle framed
with a wooden ring. The Eskimo
wriggles luto this hole, his legs extend'
ed Into the fore part of the boat.
"Round his waist there Is a cylinder
of sealskin, the lower edge of which
draws over the wooden ring and Is
pulled tight with a thong, making all
water tight to the armpits. For heavy
weather the cylinder Is part of a skin
shirt with n hood. Strings tighten this
hood to the face and cuffs to the
wrists, while a pair of long sleeved
mitts protect the hands and arms.
"So rigged a good man can turn hla
canoe bottom upward and right him
self again with sliding strokes of his
paddle, for ho Is as waterproof as s
duck. Moreover, his vessel Is so flexi
ble that It Is almost safe from being
crushed In the ice drift and, being Um
ber, Is extremely swift when propelled
by the double ended paddle.
"On the other hand, the vessel Is so
cranky that only nbout two-thirds of
the native men have nerve and bal
ance enough to hunt. Only three or
four Danes In all Greenland have
dared use a kayak."

Artificial \ONC.I. Month Forniera and
Dimple Dentera.
The best artificial noses nowadays
are made of papier mache, enameled.
Such a nose is fastened to a spectacle
frame sometimes for the sake of con
venience and thus may be put on or re
moved at brief notice.
There is a patented contrivance,
somewhat resembling a clothespin, for
attachment to the nose to give to the
organ a proper taper. Another device
is supposed to improve the lines of
the mouth.
Not a few people have no roofs to
their mouths, having been born with
out any, or in other cases having lost
them by disease. For such unfortu
nates artificial mouth roofs made of
galvanized rubber are furnish el.
There is a patented device for clean
ing the tongue, consisting of a knife
with a concave edge to which a sort of
sponge brush is attached. When one
is not well one's tongue is liable to be
disagreeably coated, but the annoy
ance may be removed by means of the
instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may wear
a certain kind of wire mask at night
to which are attached blunt wooden
points that may be caused by the help
of screws to press upon the points
where the dimples are wanted. Thus
after awhile the dimples are made to
appear. ,
