INVESTMENT GOSSIP

!, New York to Whallon: There has never
been a movement In Wall street explained un-
til it was over. The big stocks are advancing,
not on what they are paying, but what they
are earning, and on account of their vast
treasures. This will later tell right down
the line. For the moment it looks as if gold
shipments would surely check the advance
New York to l.. 4. Sowle: The bears are not
making much: progress. Investors will not
sell their stocks at these prices The general
public will neither buy nor sell unless there
is some radical change. l cannot see where
any heavy decline can come from.
Watson. gossip from Waldorf: According to
views expressed tonight by leading brokers
and prominent operators, the market is likely
to be a shade off on rather dearer money but
on any reaction purchases will be in order
1t is pointed out that the remarkable advance
IN North Western has done more than any
thing else to give tone to the speculation
Good information is that this movement is
discounting the placing of North Western pre-
ferred on a 10 per cent dividend basis. This
would open the way for the long expected in
crease in the dividend the common St
Paul, it is said will get the usual 8 per cent
dividend at the directors meeting next Thurs
day. but this will not prevent its working
higher.
Great Northern earnings increased 1882, 1858
in February, and from July L. S.. .7O5.

Editor, The MIRROR,

Editor, The MIRROR,
Dear sir:-I think it was clown
who said that "a horse has ten
sides.' However, most subjects
have two-even Mr.. Chamberlain
character.
Now, sir, the one pre-eminent
quality any writer, especially a
critic, ought to possess, and exer-
cise,s is Impartiality-a love of
truth for truths sake. We aid
and benefit the circle in which we
move; we help the members of it
to reach higher plane, and have
broader, deeper insight into life,
by imparting to them the small
atom of truth we each individu-
ally possess. And if we allow our
prejudices, dislikes, aaimosities,
or our assumption of the High
Priestship of truth, to warp our
Judgment or color the assertions
we scatter broadcast, we retard in
stead of help onward the chariot
of truth, and our pessimistic views
become stumbling-block to our
brethren.
We may ofttimes disapprove of
a mans acts, but unless we know
him to be false and a traitor to
truth we have no right to impute
to him unjust and unprincipled
motives. Each secs and must see
the truth for himself, and so long
as a man conscientiously acts up to

not, except by forfeiture of our

It is known that the hoofs of
horses were protected by boots Of
leather at very early period in
the worlds history-at time
which at least antedates Pliny and
Aristotle, both of whom make
mention of the fact. These leath-
er boots were sometimes studded
with metal nails, but more usually
worn without extra trimming, the
cheapness of that commodity max

{ Then, there is another thing
about whiskers. They are a]great
solace to q man in his hours of
meditation, for while he is en-
gagged in the peculiar occupation,
his fingers and hands must have
something with which to busy
themselves. As a man sits in an
easy chair at home on winter
evening there is nothing which
adds SO much to his Joy of medita-
ton as his unconscious caressing of
his winter whiskers. He medi-
tates until he almost thinks. A
man without whiskers is apt to
arouse himself from his meditative
dreams by drumming too loudly
with his fingers on the chair arms
or by too strenuously pulling his
nose.
There is still a further Joy which
none but the wearers of whiskers
ever experience. It is to have
them pulled by baby's chubby
hands. Tho pain may agitate the
proud papa's lachrymal glands un-
til teardrops glisten in his eyes, he
will be filled with an irrepressible
glee and will wish baby to do it
some more. It is perhaps the
only incident in life where Joy is
occasioned through the agency of
torture. A. r. S.
