SENTIMENT IN WALL STREET.
STENT WEAKNESS
" Not long . ago," said Judge P. W. Richardson, of San Francisco, at the Hotel Barton, "I went on to New York to confer with a well-known financier of the metropolis. I had never seen him before, but was at once impressed with his business sagacity and his accuracy of knowledge of trade and finance. I was with him all day. Not for a minute did he get away from monetary topics. The dollar was his constant thenie.
" Wondering if the man had the slightest spark of sentiment in his soul — he hadn't revealed any — I finally drew from my pocket pictures that I always carry — photographs of two- bright-eyed, happy girls that call (me father. These pictures of my children I showed him, with the solo object of getting him away from Mammon for a- little while. He seemed pleased to look them over, and, after making some pleasing comment, handed them. b_ck to me with the remark :
" ' They'll cost you 6000dol apiece to dress and educate,- and then probably marry some darned skunk who will make them miserable.' "' '
