rsy- There are few positions that arc

Ey There are few positions that are
more onviable than that Of an English
Judge. A salary of $4,000 year,
with pension of $4,000 on retirement,
are picliings for which any might yearn.
A French or German does much the same
work for about $500 to $4,000 n year.
If the pccuniary position OF n Judge is
rood. his social status is even better. On
circuit he IS treated with almost royal
honors, and, on tho bench he is made to
believe himself almost infallible.

A permanent investment may or may
not be profitable one just as happens, but
if it is permanent it is sometimes
rather difficult TO get the money
back again. The Workingmen. albeit
they complain of their inability
to obtain profitable wages and of the hard
ness Of the times, do nevertheless gather
together enough at times TO make quite
handsome little investments. The Chica-
20 Workingnen, for example, have abOut
$6OO.-invested in one Dennis Kearney,
all the way from California TO be sure, who
proposed to tell them the secret Of getting
money and how they might all become
presidents, senator's and governors. But
inasmueh as the Kearney stock was
highest when first put on the market al
Boston, and has continually declined ever
since, the small margin of 5000. which the
Chicagoans put up must by this time b.
nearly or quite absorbed, and the prob
ability is that they will let the stock b.
sold rather than put mp any further margin
