that they will leave a lasting impression
on the minds Of many of his hearers,
which will inspire them 10 accomplish
something In this life. Figuratively

bricks at the audience. II is just such

sonally acquainted with DR.. Conwell a
number Of years, that he was secured

AMERICAN SECURITIES.
An Englishman Thinks Them Full OF
"Uncomfortable Possibilitie

From the London Speaker.
The position IN Americans Is certainly
full of uncomfortable possibilities. For
some time past the English public has
taken no hand In this market, which has
been obviously too much under the influ-
ence Of a few powerful hands to allow OF
safe speculation by ordinary mortals. The
American public seems to be equally shy.
and the consequence is that the great mag
mates who have lately made such splash
are burdened with load of securities
which they would very much like TO turn
into cash II they could ind an oblig1ng
buyer. The extraordinary prosperity OF
the United States curing the last few
years has been followed by the reckless
over-financing which seems to be the IN
evitabie result of industrial activity, and
now the natural consequence Is showing
itself in a persistently adverse exchange
and rumors OF early gold shipments.
It is still hoped that good harvest may
save the situation, but the recent heavy
rains appear to have done considerable
amount Of damage, and 1t Is also doubt
full whether even q bumper harvest would
suffice to enable the top-heavy position In
Wall street to be HQutdated. The earnings
Of the steel trust show most satisfac-
tory Increase. but the prices of the trust
securities remain at q level which certainly
does not Indicate confidence, and the

Big Price for Walnut Stumps.

Old walnut stumps are on boom through
out Tennessee. Stumps that have remained
unnoticed for years and were regarded as
worthless are now eagerly sought after at
prices that seem almost fabulous. An In
diana concern has had men travelling over
the country buying every old walnut stump
that could be found. At first the prices
paid were small, but as the eyes of the
stick timber folks began to open the prices
went higher and higher. until now they re
out of sight. and the funny part about 1t is
that the uglier, knottier and more unsightly
the stump the more money 1t will bring.
The stump Of a walnut tree that was cut
down several years ago brought more than
the whole of the tree. 1t is stated that the
stumps are made into veneering material
and used In the manufacture Of high grade
furniture.
