One Improvident Family.

The minister in an adjoining Tennes.
see town was very much wrought up
over the pitiful condition Of parish
toner's family. He went to their home
and, finding they were almost starving,
decided that something should be done
for them. He accordingly solicited con-
tributions for their relief. Receiving
liberal response, he promptly turned
over the money to the suffering ones.
thinking that all would be well.
The first thing they did, however,
was to go to the photographer of the
town and have q dozen pictures made
of each Of the five members Of the fam
lily, exhausting the amount, leaving
them in as bad condition as they were

BEWARE OF THE STRAP.

A Possible. Source of Infection to
Those Who Ride In Street Cars.
The connection between the microbe
and the street car strap has frequently
been discussed and at least one recent
instance has proved somewhat distress
ingly that danger is likely to Turk in the
piece of leather which helps to support
so many women during the rush hours
of the day. 1t was to protect a fresh
pair Of white gloves that New York
woman, compelled to stand, held her
handkerchief inside the strap while go
ing to the theater. On her way home
she was again compelled to stand. and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether it was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker-
chief to her face is a detail that she
does not recall, but two days afterward
pain on her lip became SO fntolerable
that she was compelled to see doctor,
who found her suffering from incipient
blood poisoning, which it was already
too late for him to prevent The most
that he could do was to watch her care
fully through long attack Of illness,
which at one time threatened to end
fatally.
He attributed this to some poisonous
substance which had passed to her
handkerchief from the strap, and that
was his diagnosis the moment he heard
the story of the ride on the cable car.
She fortunately recovered, and her ply
stefan thinks that the present disfigure-
ment to her face which resulted from
the necessity of an operation will not
be permanent. The case has convinced
this physician, who is man Of consid-
cradle experience in surgery, of the
dangers that Turk in the street car
strap.-New York Sun.

THE FUTURE OF "COpPERS."

Intending purchasers of "Coppers" for
investment or for speculation should first
find correct answer to these questions:
"a VIII the earnings OF "Coppers," at
the present price of the metal, allow of
larger net returns than can be secured
from any other class of stocks?
(2) Can the permanency of production
of copper mines be as surely ascertained
as the future earning capacity of corpora
lions which are the basis of other stocks,
and,
go VIII the present price of copper, the
metal, be maintained? The answer to
these three questions will enable one to
decide whether "Coppers" are purchase
at present prices. cursory investiga-
ton of "Coppers' will prove that no other
class of business will give as large net
earnings as are at the present time de-
rived from "Coppers" at the ruling price
of the metal.
A careful investigation of the present
method Of conducting the copper mining
business will prove that In no other in
dustry can the future earnings be as
surely ascertalned for so long a time in
the future as "Coppers."
The reason for this is that all good pro-
ducing copper mining companies first, that
is. before beginning to produce" block
OUT for years In advance the copper ore
which they afterwards are to produce"
and each year thereafter add to this re-
serve an amount OF ore equal to from so
to 100 per cent of their yearly production:
in other words, "Coppers," while paying
the very large dividends they do pay. set
aside each year in the form OF blocked
out ore, so to 100 per cent additional divi-
dends.
So consistently has this been practiced
that mines like the Boston and Montana
can at any time after their ore has run
out" pay to their stockholders a sum
equal to the present selling price of their
entire capital stock.
A thorough investigation will prove con-
clusively that the present price of copper,
the metal, is permanent; that is, 1t will
surely be maintained for years to come,
and that it will be maintained through the
working of the natural law of supply and
demand
The present selling price of copper, the
metal. is about II cents per pound The
cost of production Is from to cents,
yet with this enormous disproportionate
net profit the consumption throughout the
world Is so rapidly and steadily increasing
beyond the possibility of production as to
ensure for years TO come this or any other

cQPPERS IN The PAST,

-Four years ago publicly called atten-
ton to "Coppecs to the fact that al
though they had been actively dealt in on
the Boston Stock Exchange for over fifty
years, and had been and were still the
basis of large portion of New England's
wealth, their merits as frst-class and
semi-speculative investments we're almost
unknown to investors and spectators in
this country and Europe; to the fact that
investigation would prove that an invest
ment in the stock of any of the coed pro-
ducing "Coppers" would give much larger
yearly net returns. with a surer guaran-
tee of permanency for longer period of
time, than a like investment in any other
class OF stocks, and | stated my belief
that so soon as these facts became known
to investors and spectators throughout
this country and Europe, there would be-
gin scramble" for .'Coppers" unparal-
leIed in the history of the stock market,
with the result that the price of such
stocks then for sale in the open market
would multiply, that this increased value
would hold and be further increased for
years to come.
At this tims, and in all my subsequent
statements, the following were named as
some OF the leading "Coppers" which
would multiply in price: Butte & Boston,
then selling at 81 to s14; Boston & Mon
tana, then selling at $50 TO S75. and Calu-
met G. Hecla, then selling at S225. So
radical did these views seem that they
were adversely criticised by those in
terested in financial matters. and more
particularly by professional financial
critics, but il is now known and admitted
that my predictions erred on the con-
servative side only, for the present prices
of the "Coppers" then called to the at
tention of the public show an increase in
value of hundreds of millions of dollars,
or more than has ever accrued to any
other class of stocks in a like period
The prices OF the three named, Butte,
Montana and Calumet, alone show an in
crease in value Of Sll5 100000
II is now known that never in the his
tory of stocks has there been a parallel
TO the scramble" fer "Coppers' which
carried the price of Butte from 81 to sos
per share, Montana from $50 to $500 and
Calumet from $225 10 $500, and others in
like proportion, or another instance
where such a tremendous increase in
price held and became permanent. The
fact that the public were quickly edu-
Gated that such a great increase in
values came In such a short time. and
that this increase has held and is still ad-
vancing. and that seven out of every ten
persons interested in financial matters in
this country and Europe are now familiar
with the merits Of 'Coppers," when four
years ago not one in one thousand had
even an intelligent idea of their worth,
in my opinion proves the following state
ment, which was used in all my public
utterances:
Owing to a peculiar combination of
conditions, this great industry, copper, is
the only one of all the great staples that

"COPPERS" AS AN INVESTMENT.

In buying "Coppers" for speculation or
investment, intending purchasers should,
II possible, confine their purchases to the
for while such stocks are freer from the
risk OF loss than any other class of stocks,
there is no greater risk than that which
attends the purchase Of the stocks of new
copper mines.
No investment in a gold or silver min
ing stock the stock of a land company, or
an Industrial based upon patents. is at
tended with so great a risk as an invest
ment in the stock OF a new copper mine
At least 1919 In each 500 OF the new copper
mines whose stocks are offered for sale
publicly are worthless, a large proportion
Of them being swindles OF most fragrant
character organized and conducted for the
sole purpose of selling stock.
The reason for this Is self-evident: to
uire copper and legitimately conduct a
copper mining business at the present time
calls for the investment Of a very large
amount of cash capital. No new copper
mining company can begin business. under
the necessary modern methods, without
the expenditure of at least $1,000. 900 to
IS, 00G, ono cash before any dividends can
be earned. making it the most uninviting
field for small capitalists who intend to
conduct the business legitimately, and the
most inviting field for schemers whose
only purpose is to sell stocks on promises
which can never be redeemed.
AS an illustration of the difficulty Of
securing new copper mining properties:
During the past few years it has been
necessary for me to closely follow all al
legged discoveries of copper mining prop
critics in the United States. Canada, and
Mexico. OF these, there were four hun
dred and eighty ODD which appeared to

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat and Corn Show Weakness,
With Strength in Oats.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE weakness of
yesterday in wheat continued today Lo-
cal traders made an effort at the open
ing to bring about rally, influenced by
the steady tone of the Liverpool cables,
which were only 3-Sa1-2d lower, but
commission houses had too much wheat
for sale, and under their offerings the
market declined 3-Sc from the opening
price. About the only support that was
offered the market came from few local
shorts. In the last hour there was a 3-4c
rally on the strength in corn. The de-
cline brought about a fair cash demand,
14O. 600 bushels here and 10000 bushels at
Kansas City. The seaboard reports LOG
loads taken.
Corn felt the weakness in wheat early,
commission aid local pit-traders selling.
Prominent local professionals took these
offerings and cleaned up the market.
Later In the day pit shorts became
alarmed and tried to cover, advancing
prices almost a cent from the bottom
The local cash demand continues poor;
the seaboard reports fifty loads.
Oats opened weak on free selling by re.
ceiyers and elevator firms; reacted later.
and closed at an advance Of full 5-Sc from
the lowest. due to covering by local bears
who have been free sellers during the
week. The volume of trade was large.

The weakness of the steel securities was
especially noticeable yesterday because it
occurred chiefly at the opening CT the day
and seemed TO set the pace for the gen.
eral market Federal Steel opened at
40 1-2, and this proved to be The low price
of the day. Later there was a recovery
to above As, and then another decline 10
AZ, the closing price Steel and Wire com
mon was weak also. but did not go below
the level of the day before. Tennessee

RADIO Fuel and Iron to As 1-2. Intrinsic
conditions in the steel and iron trade are
excellent. and all that can be learned re-
garding the affairs of these companies in
a financial way is also reassuring. The
extreme weakness of the group is for this
reason doubly noticeable. 1t is probable
that the time has very nearly, If not
quite, arrived for purchases here. With
the per cent cash dividend off. Federal
Steel at yesterdays price would be very
little better than 40. The public distrust
OF the steels will give the insiders the
chance to buy at the low figures, and this
they will do without doubt. Everything
points to a far better standing for these
stocks in time. and at prices at which
the present will seem almost Incredible.
One of the stories in the street is that
Mr.. Gates is the manipulation of the break,
and that he is making it for the pur-
pose of securing stocks, as he did year
