Fond or Joking.

Among the numerous peculiar traits of
the German Emperor is a fondneSS for
practical joking, which in his younger
days on more than one occasion got him
into trouble. Even since he has been
Emperor he has INDUCED this passion
more than once. On one occasion, about
a year after he had ascended the throne,
his right hand was seriously injured dur
ing the rough horse play that takes
place every st. Sylvester or New Years
eve in the streets of Berlin. On that
night no citizen ventures to appear upon
any public thoroughfare wearing a tall
hat or even a derby" The students
have from time immemorial had a
sort of unWritten right to bonnet any
civilian thus arrayed by smashing his
hat with a sharp blow of the fist upon
its crown The Kaiser, who had always
joined in this form of sport before his
succession to the crown, on the first
New Years eve that followed the death
of his lamented father walked out with
the collar of his coat we'll turned up
and fur cap drawn down over his eyes
so as to conceal his identity. He soon
had several badly wrecked hats to his
credit He then encountered an elderly
citizen of portly figure and benevolent
demeanor, whose looks, however, belied
his character. He had been bonneted
in previous years, and was resolved to
teach his tormentors a lesson So he had
made a sort OF leather skull cap, thick IN
texture and studded with long, sharp
nails. SO when the Emperor brought
down the fist with all his might on the
inoffensive looking tall hat his hand was
pierced in many places by the nails and
covered with blood. the injuries at one
time threatening lockjaw. The citizen
was arrested and imprisoned pending a
decision as to whether he should be
prosecuted on charge of ''lese males
te." He was, however, released, as his
offense was entirely an innocent one.

The business of this Company is NOT to
purchase Mining Properties, NOT to supply

For months past it has been the business
of the Directors of this Company to arrange
for RELIABLE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON SUCH SECURITIES. So successful
have been their efforts that, were they at
liberty to disclose only half the knowledge
they possess more capital would be sub
scribed than they could possibly invest; but
such disclosures would defeat the objects
of the Company and prevent successful re-
suits.
THE LARGE Fund at the disposal of
the Company will be so carefully dissemin-
ated amongst various securities that profits
must be CONTINUAL AND CUMULATIVE.
Thus, instead of investing in one security
which might prove a loss, subscribers ac
quire an interest in a number of securities,
making individual loss almost impossi
bility; for if depreciation affects some in
vestments, the great majority will still
yield immense profits in which EVERY
SUBSCRIBER WILL SHARE.
INDIVIDUAL SPECULATION in Mining
Shares, in the majority of cases, proves a
failure; the public being misled by innum-
cradle wildcat schemes and unprinciped
representations made by owners of "A
HOLE IN THE GROUND" undeveloped
and worthless.
FROM THESE "PITFALLS' THE Di-
rectors propose to protect their clients,
and by the cooperation of reliable Informal
ton and business knowledge, combined with
large capital, should secure ENORMOUS
DIVIDENDS TO SUBSCRIBERS.

THE PROTECTION OF SEALS.
Japan and Russia VIII Join With the
 United States In the Matter.

Japan and Russia VIII Join With the
 United States In the Matter.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-It is stated in official circles that the United States will have the cooperation and support of both Russia and Japan in the ap- preaching issue over the establishing of adequate protection for the fur seals of the Pacific ocean. The question is about to be brought forward, as two commits sions, one American and one British, have returned, after an investigation of the conditions in Boring sea. Aside from the information they have secured, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin has recently made report after personal inspection of the seal islands, stating that if notifications of the Paris award regulations were not agreed to "the fur seal with one or two seasons would be commercially extinct.
 The Japanese government stands ready to join the United States in any plan of seal protection. and is desirous also of including sea otters, which are being exterminated from the Japanese islands. The cooperation of Japan is said to be of much importance to the United States, as the sealpoachers and pirates have been found mainly at Jap- anese ports. A large trade with them has been built up at Yokohama and Nagasaki. Notwithstanding this, Ja- pan feels 1t to her interest to suppress the poaehing. Many of the Canadian poaohers so to Japanese ports and either ship under the Japanese flag or take out sealing permits from the British con suls there. The Japanese government wants the prohibitions made farreach- ing, so that no doubt will exist as to the permanent preservation of the seals and otters.
 The Russian government also, it can be said authoritatively, will welcome
 an extension of the protection to the
 seals. It is pointed out that while Rus sia owned Alaska and the seal islands
 now attached to the United States, there was complete protection to the seals, and that the destruction begun
 under American management. The policy of Russia continues to be to pro- | tect the seals on the Russian islands of
 the North Pacific, and they will be fully
 in cooperation with the United States toward any concerted action to that end

1" Butchers Stationery"

It is apparent from the circulars a lot ofcheap, inferior writing paper recently sown broad- cast through the city, that such houses only expect to receive orders from that clas of business men who do not know a good thing when they see if. In their circulars they say that .'in this day and age it is penny wise and pound foolish to substitute butchers paper for writ ing paper. or endeavor to get along without the proper printed station cry" We do not suppose that any merchant in Pine Bluff has ever been guilty of substituting ''butcher's pa- per"fOr writing paper, and we are sure there is not one of them that does not know too much about business to undertake to get along without printed stationery. We also rely upon their ability to judge between the samples of butchers paper' sent out by this house and the honest stock handled by honest printers. For the same stock we will duplicate any prices in America.
