man looked up, you are the president
of a silver mining company and can tell
me what an assessment is.
.'Yes, my son. We are Just now
sending out an assessment of 20 pei
cent. II means that every one owning
shares in the company must pay
twenty cents on every dollar
''Oh, that's il! And now what's a
dividend?"
"a dividend is the sharing of a profit
with stockholders. That is, when the
officers of company so far forget
themselves as to have more cash on
hand than they know what to do with ii

dividend of three per cent excuses five
assessments of ten per cent. Now run

With ink marks all over his arms,
And never a shirt collar graceS his throat,
And no waistcoat his brave bosom warns.
