CORY O'Lanus on Wall street
The utter hollowuess of the late Wal
Street bubble is happily hit off by
Cory O'Lanus of the Brooklyn Eagle
as follows:
The bulls and bears have been play
| ing shuttlecock with gold.
The bulls got the bears in a corner
and goaded those unfortunate animals
to distraction.
Gold was going up beautifully, and
everybody was making fortnes.
l never heard anything like the rum
ors on the street.
Fisk, Jr., made seventy millions in
half an hour.
Morrissey made twenty millions.
Vsnderbilt's account hadn't been .ad-
ded up yet.
Everybody rushed into Wall Street
and made fortunes.
got interested myself and went to
broker and told him to buy me a
hundred million at current rates.
He said ne wanted margin.
1t was just my luck. I had ordered
in coal that day and paid for it, and
given Mrs. 0'Lanus the rest of the
money to buy flannel and things for the
house.
Gave the broker all had, four dol
lars and twenty five cents, and told him
to buy all he could on that margin,
and I'd try and raise some more.
Couldn't get any more that day, but
raised fifteen dollars yesterday and went
over to make a few thousands.
Boutwell, came down ike a wolf on
the fold, And threatened to sell four
millions of gold"
Which charge in the rear sent the
bulls scampering with their heads down
and tails in the air, with the bears full
chase after them,
Gold came down at a rate that fairly
made their head spin.
l rushed off to my broker.
He looked broker than when l saw
him before,
Asked him how I stood.
He said l didn't stand anywhere.
He had acted on the instructions as
far as the margin went, and bought
four hundred and seventy-four thousand
dollars at 100 at a. m, and sold at
IL: Is p. m. at 135.
My entire margin was swept away,
and the broker thought there was a
balance against me.
Told him not to mind it but let it
stand.
Everybody is ruined.
Fisk lost three hundred and ffty
millions, and will have to mortgage his
Opera House.
Morrissey is a ruined man, with
nothing but diamond pin and his sal
ary as Congressman to live on.
Vanderbilts losses are estimated at
seven hundred millions,

have any more margin.

If you want to gamble, bet on the
election, play euchEe, invest in twenty
i've cent jewelry envelopes, buy auction
lots on Long Island, go into ticket spec
ulating, anything you have a fancy for.
But keep out of Wall street. if you
would save your margin.

Quetrg
A SERMON FOR YONG Folks

Don't ever go hunting for pleasures
They cannot be found thus, know,
Nor yet fall a-digging for treasures,
Unless with the spade and the hoel
The bee has to work for the honey,
The drone has no right to the food,
And he who has not earned his money!
VIII get Of his money no good.
The ant builds her house with her labor,
The squirrel looks out for his mast,
And he who depends on his neighbor,
VIII never have friends, first or last.
In short, It's 10 better than thieYing.
Though thief is harsh name to call
Good things to be always receiving,
And never to give back at all,
And do not put off till tomorrow,
The thing that you ought to do now,
But first set the share in the furrow.
And then set your hand to the plow.
The time is too short TO be waiting,
The day maketh haste to the night,
And it's just as hard work to be hating
Your work as to do it outright,
Know this, too, before you are older,
And all the fresh morning is gone
Who puts to the worlds wheel a shoulder
Is he that Will move the world onl
Don't weary out will with delaying,
And when you are Gro wded don't stop;
Believe me there's truth in the saying
There always is room at the topl
To conscience be true, and to man true
Keep faith, hope and love in your breast,
And when you have done all you can do.
Why, then you may trust for the rest.
