Willi Street wants to know what made the top-lieuvy stock market topple over just when it did. Two things fixed the date of what was soon to hap pen, anyhow. The violent drop in Canadian. Marconi mado Keesci realize that stocks can go both ways, faster down than up. ! And ell money at 12 per cent was the finishing- touch. Usury cannot keep fools from liHinblinp, but it ean ruin them flatly, at a convenient time. Many believed that 12 prr cent money, caused by the spec ulation craze, meant 12 per cent for a whole year, not realizing that over a few days or weeks such an interest rate makes little difference. Some of the strong men will step in, collect bargains at the right lime, and be praised for "preventing a panic." -M In Pennsylvania "pow wow doctors," vestigial remainder of witchcraft days, prey on the su perstitious. They cure warts by reciting verses from the liible, or rubbing a piece of fat on the wart and burying the fat iu the ground. They treat cancer and other diseases by muttering meaningless words. The law can stop' this, gradu- allv, for it says no doctor must alk or practice nuiincnse un less ho lias a regular license. The law eannot reach, unfortu nately, the great army of."pow wow doctors" in the field of politics and statesmanship. They will go on "pow wowing" to the end of time und get paid for it. t. The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, having shaken out the widows, orphans ami bona fide investors that owned the road once, is now making money and displaying efficiency. It has invented a slogan for employes that do the real work. This is how it goes. " Kmployes will please be long on service and short onalihis." Kmployes re also told that every worker should be a salesman, trying to build up the road's business. "X 11 employes should do their best. Half hcirted work helps no man. lint the railroad might reply to that slogan with an other, "Officers of the road will please bo long on high wages and short on excuses fol low pay." AVhen railroads are increasing their business, with increased rales, they should re member their workers and "do unto others, etc." Christmas Is near and the sloppy arnilmcntal 8casoo is here.

It wus evident that the persiHl ent fever which lias racked Kin.' George's body for more than throe weeks and has been sapping his strength d.ty by day, still held a firm grip upon him. I That1 the king's "owers of re- sistuncc have been ebbing for days under the strain of a lun Infection which has spread to hia general system has been evident from the physicians' recent reports. There was some comfort for his anxious subjects who have been hoping al most, against hope, however. In the; SIHlemeni in lOllay 8 nillietin llllll i there had been no further diminti Dillon or strength after a night, in which the klr.-j had several hours' sleep. Whether this was a natural sleep was not stated in the bulle tin. The hullelln. signed by Sir Stan ley Kewett and Lord Dawson of Pcnn, said: "Ills majesty, tho king, has had several hours sleep. The tempora- ture renialns high but there Is no rurlbcr Impairment of strength." v Public Concern That public concern over the king's condition was Increasing was 1 shown by the growing size, of the crowds gathered around Unci Inn ham palace. The throng was lai e despite the prevalence of blllng winds which swept across the ex posed plaza these cold winter days. Anxiety was written on the faces of a majority of those who gathered. . Those who waited outside Ihe palace had to bo content with what comfort could bo obtained from the statement that there was no fur ther 1 ! in il ii it ion In the king's strength, and this statement, when road In connection with the lact ; that there was no relaxation in tho grip of Ihe fever, 'did not afford any great nnanunt of comfort. ; Continuance of tho king's high temiicralure, it was pointed out, meant that the Infection which re turned In some measure yesterday hIIII existed and, although iho fever was not worse, the iiositioti re garding the Infection had not Im proved.

W) MIhh Fay Wilbur, lout since Hun iluy in the densely wooded wild erness near limine, was round today by Hcm-cliers. Hho was un hunned and had not suffered ser iously from exposure, uh she had shelter for two nights under a huge log. More than 175 men combed the district six miles from Lorulne, and about noon today George HJoraet, of Cottage Grove, found MIsb Wil bur. A drag net of searchers five to fifteen feet apart had been spread through the district around yjMUHv- Kulls. After heeomlnir aenumlwl from her companion, Walter Weber, on nunuay aiiernuon wnne on a irip gutherlng ChristniHH greens, Miss Wilbur wandered uimlessly around in Ihe rorest, Irying without suc cess lo find her way to a trail. Then she found a shelter under a big log. and remained there most ot the tilno until she was discov ered. night. At onn time there was a triple line of automobiles drawn at Ihe curb in front of the palace while their occupants were standing at Iho gate reading the official bulle- .In. One anxious man. who Raid he was an Australian artist, paced to and fro before the palace for hours during the night praying aloud for Ihe recovery of tho king. The comings and goings of the physicians and movements of the royal family wore watched by Ihe ctowds with pathetic interest. The fact, that Cjueen Mury omitted her dally drlvo during the afternoon caused much comment. The feeling uppermost In the minds of all classes of society was expressed by Sir William Joynsoit lllcks, home secretary, when at ti public dinner, he said: "All of us Join more tnan sol cmnly In tho prayer going up all over Ihe country th'it God will in deed save our king." It Is uncertain whether Ihe prince will see the king tonight. If his majesty Is sleeping when tho heir apparent arrives It will obviously be unwise to awaken him and Ihe prince's visit therefore will he deferred until probably an early hour in the morning. Two Sons Away With tho prince of Wales speed ing homeward as fast as he can, there are still two sons ot his maj esty far 1'rom hme.
