ARTHUR W. CUTT:EN'S
Ito NtnIlc CAREER
:,:Forty-two years ago a young and
Piopeful lady 'firom Guelph arrived in
IOhicago to make his (fame and (fortune.
lite had $90, an ollld-1ashione'd'trunk, a
Jh'ighwtheeled 'bicycle, 20 years and the
conifidence that goes with ahem. iHe
!was alone and friendless, Today the
boy is Arthur W. Outten, at 62 a very
Wealthy man and possibly the most
]famous wheat :slpeltuiator the world
has ever knb'wn. The boy who delft his
borne`town in 11890 with, ,only half a
dozen +people aware of his absence to-
daywould be welcomed back by the
Mayor, the council and all the brass
bands in the 'couentryslvd:e 'He is the
donor ,of Guelph's new ,golf .course and
su'bscriber to many philanthropic ent-
erprises in the Wellington county seat.
How he arrived ' alt his pre'seent position
is told in an iautobiograplhncal series of
articles now aplpearinlg:' in the Satur-
day Eveniing,Polslt, where the greatest
'speculator of hips time writes in col-
laboration with Boyden ISpalekes.
'I was .b'onn," he says, int Guelph,
the second 'San of a, staircase of +chlil-
'drese who finally numbered six boys
and two girl's.,My efather, W'al'ter Hoyt'
/Oa6ten, was a lawyer. His 'partner was
;Donald Guthrie, father of the present
minister Of jhusbice.":
(He went ,to sehooll with .Lieut -(Col.
John M'c•Crea, whose "Flanders Field"

heard Edward Johnson sing "Annie
'Laurie" in a .pub'li'c ;p'a'rk in Guelph.
i}lis bto'yhood ambition to :drive the
IWIellingtonr Hbeters oimnibus horses
was superseded by a desire to be a
,plrlolfeiSsiilan'all baseball 'player. His first
job vela's a clerk's post alt $4 a week in
:the American` Consular office , in
' (Guelph.
Out it was a farmer near Guelph,
Alec Hill, who inspired him to, find
green field's far away in which to seek
this fortune. This farmer was a brother
o f the great rai'l'way builder, Jarne's J.
•Hill, and the only difference young
.Cutter sa'w between them was that
one' left home and .the other stayed.
In' Chicago he held various add jab's
• ;before he found his element on the
(Chicago Board of Trade. His first po's-
1 ition there was as ,a trader for A.

whio'h wash a 101 of money to him
then. But thb speculator did not °m-
ane his s+peeculati'o'n's to grains, And in
1904 he ma'd'e his first big clean -'up 1
iSbo Line stock. 'The C.P.R. .had
bon�gift control of the line, and he fig-
ured they would improve its condition
and was right. He bought 2,000 shares
of .Slob Line at'54 and two years later
sold, at 106. Thiat same year he enrarried
'Maud Boldme'r, of Evaenlslton, Id'1. Also
he resigned from A. Stamford White

he has remained a lone trader, chiefly
because he :distrusts the ability o$

sential in big deals in grain' and grafin

While Mir. Culbten's articles are bi-

somewhat i'mpasts'ioned argument ' far

has nothing but the bitterest con-
temlpet, It is, in this opinion., a restric-
ttrian of free trade and legitimate trad-

Certainly Mtr. Outten ..presents ex-
cellent alignments to show that .the
speculator in wheat futures' does not
control the price of grain. It gets,
right back to the fun'd'amental law of
supply and demand, He has a chart

THE DESERTED NESTS.
iNoew that the leaves have fallen,
it is time to go third's nesting, It is
a deligthiful occupation—:full: of sur-
prises, and also good discipline, as
it is likely to lower by ;several pegs
our excess pride. Why did we never
guess, ofr instance, that the dainty'
basket of 'the, vireos, 'for which in the
simmer we sought in vain, hung all
the time almost :within arm's reaoh,
just at the turn of the drive ? And
how dull we were not to have dis-
covered the robins 'tha't netsed by the
summer house 1 'S suspect these rob-
ins may have 'been• the ones whose
nest in the (Red Astrachan tree came
to grief. That nest we did discover
in its season, 'but we must have been
blind, had we ,not; for through a
peephole among the Leaves wecould

upon the mother robin, .peacefully
brooding. What happened we never
knew; ;but, after a few days the nest
was deserted,. Wand appa'ren'tly no
other was built. It was tot until Oc-
tober that we learned the secret. 'It
is Pleasant to see, ' on our autumn
search, how t'he neighborhood of ,hu-
man.dwellings is, favored 'for nesting
sites. In spite of many .persecutions,
the birds seem to' look upon urs as
their 'friends not from 'rno!tives of
s'entimen't, but because experience has
taught 'them :that wherever man
dwells they are sure to find food in
his garden and orchard, and perhaps,
too, in the crumbs, 'from his table.
kn his vicinity, they may hope for
some 'measure Of proteot'ion from
en'emies. Certain it is that"a 'wa'l'k in

round one's own grolwn'd:s. As a fur-
ther measure of safety and an ,ad-
ditional rea's'on for forsaking .the
woods for bhe 'farm, a tree 'which
stand's apart from its fellow's is
usually 'favored by tree -nesting birds,
rather than one of a row or group
whose interlacing 'branches may af-
ford runways 'for sequi•rrels. Long:
before D'e!cemb.er the nests tnf brie'

from their moorings. These little

farms to furnish ,plenty of the coveted
material. It is a::great advantage of
this belated nest -hunting that we
may study at our leisure the homes
of OUT feathered friend s without
bringing harm or anxiety to the little
owners; and even a deserted ,nest
can teach us 'much of those that built
it. It is said that the great cres'ted
flycatchermust always have a piece
of snake skin to weave into its nest.
The wood thrush fancies bits of
paper, but these are tastes (peculiar
to the species rather than to the in-
dividual. 'Learni'ng ,olf such whimsies,
we set out on our quest 'for nests

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
December, 1906
Injured.
John Edgar, eldest son :of Mr. Hobt,
Edgar, of Hlarpurhey, was seriously
injured last 'Thursday in the lumber
camps near 'Sault Ste. Marie. He was
badly crushed, a log having 'rolled
over hint. He had been in the camp
a few clays having left here a couple
of weeks ago.
Cost Him Some Money.
A +wedding was consummated in an.
adjoining town a few days since,
which has an interesting circum-
stance attached to it. The groom, it
is said, was engaged to another esti-
mable young lady than the one who
became his wife. He went to her and
offered $1,000 to be released from his
engagement The young lady, know-
ing that she had the young man in a
box, refused to accept the offer, but
she said, "you pay me $2,000 and V11
release you, and then you can go to
the dickens," Pay the $22,000 he is
said to have done, and the way was
clear to his marriage.
