An Irishman, who was near-sighted
and was about to fight duel, insisted
that he should stand six PAGES. nearer to
his antagonist than the latter did to HIM
and they were both to fire at the same
time. This beats Sheridan's telling
about a fat man who was going to fight
thin one, that the latter's slim figure
ought to be chalked on the others port
ly person, and if the bullet hit him out
side the line it was not to count.
We are sometimes led to wonder if all
the wild and picturesque fools are not in
the newspaper business. Every few
days we hear of some one who offers to
print the county treasurer's report,
worth probably $50, for So or $4; will
run the delinquent tax list for bare cost
of composition; take job work at half
price, if he can't get the regular price,
and if he can't get it at half price will
do it for less, and so on ad infnitum.
A short time ago one of these cheerful
idiots printed a $23 legal notice for $22
in order to keep it out of the Post. The
idiot has vanished from sight, but we
hope he is still alive and suffering at
least little of his wrong doing, and
that he may yet repent, and be saved.

What beyond doubt is the smallest
body of land ever granted by the United
States as homestead is in Dade, the
extreme southeastern county of the
state of Florida. 1t consists of small
island in the north end of Lake Worth,
and it is less than one-fourth of an acre
in extent. Yet the claim for il was en-
tered in the land Office at Gainesville,
and the owner paid five dollars for the
fee and 81 cents for the land. lie makes
about $50 a month from his investment,

lake from the ocean TO feed, and there he
catches them.

1t was in late summer and the owl sat
upon a branch looking very wise and
doing nothing, while the squirrel
busted himself with the nuts lying
about on the ground, gathering them
eXpeditiously and slowing them away
in hollows and holes.
Winter came by and by and with its
sharp cold and deep snow, but still the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
and doing nothing. The squirrel jeered
at him, thinking that the owl must be
hungry and starving. because the bird
had not been a provident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter, but the owl
did not change, which the squire
thought 10 be due 10 the feathers stuck

How Small Shareholders Are Often
Swindlsd.


Six thinbles and two peas in the
hands of "a ring of skilled professionals
do not leave much chance fer outsiders,
however smart and wideaWake they
may think themselves. Not only do the
insiders have the connection Of the vari-
Gus companies and the fixing of their
original capitalization, which practical
~ determines their future value, but,
says the National Review, they have
the entire management of them. They
can decide which of the half-dOzcn is tn
pay the big dividends and which are 10
draw blanks, They have all the initia-
tive, do all the manipulating, and can
arrange every new scheme to suit them
selves. They might even strip com
pany OF its assets and reduce il - an
empty husk before the shareholders
could interfere TO prevent them. The
proprietary or parent company is in
that respect most at their mercy. Say
that il starts with so many claims to de-
velOp-a thousand it may be-and that
il divides them up among four or five
working companies.
The usual course is TO receive in pay
ment Of the claims al agreed number of
the sub-company's shares. These pass
into the treasury of the parent com
pany. but there is no obligation on the di-
rectors to keep them longer than they
please, and no guarantee to the share
holders that they will be kept. They
may be sold, pawned, exchanged, or put
in trust at the pleasure of the directors,
who have invariably proxies enough to
give them complete control.
