Y. and W railroad was sitting in his office at his rosewood desk when anoffcial entered in reply to; a tap on bis silverbell Handing the subordinate a letter, he said: "Take that hito the office of the corn - pane's attorney and tell him to, treat it in the usual way." The letter was from a young woman who made her ,living' by stenography' and typewriting. Site had traveled on h Cortina rs 's trains,an as it one of they d was nearing the station stood at the door, bracing herself against the car end. The engineer- stopped the train suddenly, and the car door slammed against the ghee hand and crushed her. fingers. Tits injury ended her ability to make her living as site land been do- ing it. She asked i:he president of the road if he.would indemnity her. The "usual way" referred to by him was to get an offer to settle, then pigeon - bole it. This wa:' done, and. the girl having refused to settle for a song, beard nothing more from the com- pany's attorneys. A few months after the pigeonholing of the girl's offer the president sent for his stockbroker and said to him: "Mr. Barker, I have noticed a very slow rise for a month past of the shares of our road. 1 know of nothing to put them up. Our monthly statement shows some falliug off in the earnings, and there is some doubt about our main- taining the regular dividend. Can you explain the rise in view of the facts?" Mo. Barker could not explain the rise. He thought that some person was menipnlatIng the stock. putting it up for the purpose of making money on it when it went down, again. "Please sell a thousand shares for my account," continued the president, "and every point the price of the stock rises, sell another thousand shares" The result of this order within a cou- ple of weeks was tbat the stock went up five poinis, and the president was "short" of it 5,000 Shares. That means that be had sold shares which he did not own at less tha.0 the market price. When the stock denl'uied to a figure be- 'low r'low what he had 1'ald for it he would buy it and make the difference, As Its president, he knew that the stock was not worth what he sold it for and did not doubt that he would make It good thing of the transaction. But the stock did not go down. In- stead it continued to rise. The presi- dent, who had good nerve, kept on selling stock that he did not own, and one day having called upon his bro• ker for a statement of his account was informed that lie was "short" 30,000 shares. This was somewhat unsteady • ing, and the president directed the bro. ker to hedge by buying 10,000 shares in lots of one and two amuse ed. The broker reported that his buying of 3,000 shares had put the stock up 2' . points. The president looked grave. The road was a small one, and its out- standing stock was not more than 500,000 shares, most of it in hands that had beld it for years. If the seller could not buy the stock he had sold for delivery he Wbuld lose a fortune,, Ile Pint CA taking any action till the next day, when there was a flurry in the stock on the market, and the shares jumped twenty points. Then came u report that the stock of the G., Y. and W. Railroad company was "cornered." That meant that some person or persons had bought up the stock and there was none for sale. One, three, four, six hundred per cent was offered for it, but no stock was brought out. Few persons had been selling the stock except the president, but he was ruined. In cases where a stock is "cornered" it is customary for the seller and the buyer to get together and settle, agreeing on a certain fixed price. The president sought his un- known enemy for this purpose. He found him to be an enormously rich operator. The president went to his office iv fear and trembling and asked to what figure he was to be bled. "First let us settle a little account held against your company," said the ,operator, "by a former employee of mine. My stenographer has been so seriously injured that she has been de- prived of making .her living." , The president asked for further in- formation, which the operator gave "How much damage do you think our company should pay the lady?" asked the peesident. "What will give her an income of $2,500 a year. 1 flunk fifty of your first mortgage bonds would be accept- ed." The president telephoned for the bonds, and while they were waiting for them he and the operator settled for the stock the former had sold the lat. ter. Butt the operator said that he would not exact a fictitious value -for the shares he had bought and made a settlement by which the president lost nothing, "Thanit you very much," he said, "for letting -me off so cheaply. When another women mattes a claim against our road. I will inquire where she has been employed." "In this case you got hold of the wrong stenographer." "elost decidedly." "G nod >norning." .

Motorists' Delinquencies Some drivers violate the law by turning their lights so low that the numbers are not visible. Sec. 11, cjg•use 2, treads•;- Any person who drives a motor vehicle; on ahigh Way; recklessly or 'negli- gently,or at a speed or in amanner which is dangerous to the public, shalt be guilty of an offence under this act.' - This clause effectively eliminates the popular fallacy than a peace officer must stand with1 a lstop•- watch in ifs hand to ascertain the exact rate of speed <a car is going before a conviction can be made. I bax'e repeatedly noticed cars this month pass up and down Mite street's splendid pavement at a speed of between thirty and forty miles an hour, and no stop -{watch was needed to' tell alny one the speed was "dangerous to the ,pub - lie." 0 would give my unqualified n:orai support teeny . constable who would arrest and any magis- trate who would convict an ;of- fender under this clause.

Sec. 1d -No intoxeated person shall drive a. motor vehicle.

What about those drivers who appear to deeigtht in making all• pvstsib$w noise m'ith their cars? In some towns we know in Ontario arrests would immediately follow this absolutely unnecessary pract- ice. Penalties for the violation of these clauses are heavy. Sec. 31, clause 1, says ;-"Every peace officer who, on reasonable g,rounde Ibeiieven an offence against any of these provisions hes been committed. may arrest such per- son without warrant.`' Sec. 2; Every person called upon to assist apeace officer in the arrest of a person suspected of committing any such offence, shall assist if he knows the person callinghim is a peace officer.

INFLU NC PROGRESS E E ON Roform in Many Fields Was ,Quick- ened by the Work of the Great Russian Writers --Even a Ger- man Doctor Realizes Dif- ference Between Slays and Own People. NE of the causes of the eon- () fusion of opinions in the European war was aptly 11-' lustrated recently by the bewildering remark of an American of German descent. "I should like America to join in the war," he said. "The only trouble is that I should like one expeditionary force to be sent against the Germans in France and Belgium; and another to keep the Russians out of Germany.' Possibly the war may reveal the true Russia to both Germany and America, as it has revealed her to France and England. The fact that the first serious proposals for an in- ternational peace conference with a view to the limitation of armaments and the substitution of law for force came from Russia, nearly twenty years ago, and that they were swept aside -almost furiously -by Ger- many should certainly make the Am- erican people pause and consider. Generalizations about any nation are almost always hopelessly false, for they are nearly always based upon a very few factors in the pro- blem. In the case of Russia perhaps the most important factor of all is the very simple one -that she has a ALFSl:I) AOYES. religion. "Holy Russia" is not an idle phrase; Liebknecht might be _ zi 9;hroi4m into Pilsen for 'Critics ing the e Kaiser, but not Tolstoy for defying autocracy. She is the one country in Europe which even to -day may pro- duce saints and martyrs. But, ex- cept as a poetical background, this us all-important aspect of R s•ia has received little of no consideration from those in America who compare her civilization to -day with that of Germany. All national qualities have been re- vealed, again and again, during the present struggle. It was the Russian suffering and sacrifice that enabled the Allies to hold out in the west ee more than one critical moment, to•use the words.of Noyes, the poet; and it is quite conceivable that their Confidence in the goodness of hu- levollaissitenv STARTED WOR AFTER 6 St. Raphael, "roar gears ago I had tun in ey book that I could not I read about Gin 5111. anti. for a sample sad used them, found the pains were leafing and that I was feeling better.

Dr. Steiner dwells on "the soul quality," as he calls it, of the Slav immigrants as contrasted with the complex spirit of the American secretary of the mission, in whom Teuton and Celt were blended, and with the Herr Direktor, "whose soul had hardened under the discipline which Germany had given him." Many of the American experiments in prison reform and social work generally were quickened, just as English literature was quickened, by the compassionate spirits of Tolstoy and Dostolevsky; and those wbo be- lieve in the final success of the great American experiment in the mingling of races will at least find support in, the fact that the Russian is at least strong where the American is weak. So seldom in the war has one en- countered a German mind criticizing Germany that it is with a sense of re- lief that one reads Dr. Steiner's acute comparison of Russians with his own original countrymen. The Herr Direktor did not realize that "all his Germanic searching and, classifying, all his minute, painstak-' ing investigation into the innermost of everything, left him where the Russian had long ago preceded him: in the holy presence of the unknow- able, unsearchable wisdom of the Eternal." "We don't understand it," I said to him, "neither do you nor I, but one thing I do know, when the coat bas been dug out of these hills and these cities shall have gone the way of Sodom and Gomorrah, and your churches may have vanished because •it did not pay to keep them going, this Russian soul will endure; and the sooner we learn to understand 11 the better for us and for them and for our country."

When the back becomes weak and starts to ache and pain it is a sure sign that the kidneys are riot performing thein functions properly. On the first sign of backache Doan's Kidney Pills should be taken and serious kidney troubles prevented. - 1 Mr. Praucis McInnes, Woodbine, N.S,. writes: "I deem it my duty to let you know the wonderful results I have re- ceived from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Per a long time I had been suf- fering from weak back and kidneys. b used to suffer the most at night, and some tunes could hardly move in bed with the pain. I could do no hard labor on account of my back, A friend advised me to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial,i and I am glad I did for the pain in my" kidneys is gone; my back is strong, and I can perform any hard labor and get my good night's sleep. I only used three boxes of the pills." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents pen box, or 3 boxes for $1.25; at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.
