A Peculiar Trait.

A very curious trait in the family
Of the British Premier is the nerv-
BUSINESS from which almost every
member suffers. 1t is perhaps most
marked in Lord Fl. Cecil, the youth
full member for Greenwich, who ap-
appears to suffer terribly whenever
be makes speech. Although
naturally eloquent and keen. .witted,
his nervousness handicaps him
heavily.

But that happens, when you have
spent your savings, run into debts
which worry you by day and night,

you still owe your washerman $3.50

nothing to do with the matter, you
are the owner-on paper at least-of

which you never could pay for and
never intended to pay for. Their

Now rings the bell OF the promo
ters calling for the first assessment
on the stocks. The men who bought
your shares at premium have no
more money than you had to pay
for hem, but they have paid to you
in cold cash the premium, which
they must lose if they cannot raise
the money necessary to meet the as
sessment. OF course they hope that
stocks will yet go up, and they be
able to sell at least at the figure
they.paid. But when the assessment
bell rings the bulls" disappear
and the "bears" have their innings,
and it is remarkable how rapidly the
shares go down and down. The
daily bulletin in the newspaper dis
appears, and you hear no more
about your favorite "spec." except

A syndicate of highly respectable
gentlemen, representing consider
able capital and famous for their
regular attendance at church, their
god-fearing modesty and unparal-
lelled unselfishness, pick up piece
of land, dig hole, and then have
stock books printed. They "boom"
the piece of land through a SUBJ
servient press, and before the pro.
posed company has received char
ter of incorporation, imaginary
stocks are fioated and quoted on the
highways and byways. The Chris
tian promoters do not put up a
cent except perhaps for the insignifi-
cant purchase price of the land,
some work on pumping plant, the
cultivation of some seed cane and
the printing of a prospectus and
stock books, besides lawyers fees
and clerk hire. Then they are ready
for work, and the subscription list
for stocks is open to the public.

The Reverend DR.. Serene E. Bish-
op, in mentioning the new Kihei
Plantation, strikes note which will
jar on the feelings OF the promoters
of that gambling scheme. He refers
to Fl. P. Baldwin, L. A. Thurston,
B. F. Dillingham; and others, in
laudatory terms, and then be says:
Several of the worthy gen tlemen
named have already gone far be-
yond the danger line of the needles

keep all of his believing people from
trusting in riches" which he has
permitted them to gain. We shall
all soon find ourselves in the world
beyond, where our greatest regret is
liable to be for having failed, not in
successfully gaining, but in rightly
using for the Lord these earthly
riches.
After that sarcastic stab the Rev.
Doctor cannot expect any "advertis.
ing" shares from the promoters
whom he asks to rightly use "for
the Lord" their gains on stock gam
bling. They will build crematory
and "roast" the old gentleman so he
will hardly be recognized when in

shovel and a position as fireman in
