One OF the noteworthy moves In the nnancial
world that Is attracting . great deal OF atten,l,n.
Is the polling Of Interests by small investors. \
St. Louis arIn. the National Securities Co, Is the
prime mover In the plan. This Company rrc.Ives
the money OF thousands Of small investors
and combining them form gigantic sums which
enable them 10 successfully transact enormous
deals that pay hands jme prints - the individual
Community of Interest Idea made 81 popular by
J. PterpJnt organ. the My difference 10 that
this Company is comp 'scd Of an uni nited number
Of SIN Ill Investors, while Mr.. Morgan's companies
are oo.np ,sed Of . limited nu nber of rich men.
The Natl Jual Is the ars: company organized on this
new plan. but because Of It's wonderful success II
Is but q question Of a short time until many more
will enter the ncld. II Is well known fact that
the man Of money has tn )usinds Of opportunities
TO make profitable investments that never come
to the man Of small means. In popular language
1t takes money to make money BY this sue
cesstul plan Of combination the small investor
with from nfty 70 a few hundred dollars secures
the same opportunities that come 10 the man OF
MILL ms. and as a consequence realizes the same
enormous per cent. Of profit on his investment,
however small It may be. II can be safely said
that a moro marked departure than this plan was
never made In the world Of money and IN ,se who
take advantage OF the opportunities fired By this
company viii realize more on their money In a
week than they " ,ud under ordinary conditions
In a year. The general plan upon which the com.

Entire Nous Club was held Monday
Feb. 24th, with Mrs. J. M. Cowen a
hostess. After the business meetin,
the literary program OF the Afternoon
Was listened TO with great interest and
pleasure.
Quotations given in response to roll.
call were pithy and contained much
that was good and wholesome. They
were from the works of Alexander
Pope, whose biography. as written ard
read by Mrs. w. ID. Reynolds, ABOUND
ed IN details C ncerning the character
and writings Of our author. Owing to
the unavoidable absence of Mrs. John
Pence the second paper, "Dress as II
Factor OF Education" was not read.
Mrs. Wilson's reading of selection,
with explanatory notes, from Pope's
writings, was so well aud clearly read
as to be a great pleasure to her au.
dience.
But the most interesting and exci.-
ing event of the afternoon was the dis
cussion of the question now agitating
the great body Of clubs belonging TO
the General Federation of Womens
Clubs, "Shall Colored Clubs be AID
mitted to the General FederationY"
This question is to be voted upon AT
the next biennial at Los Angeles, and
II the warmth displayed in this club of
twenty members is sample of what
the delegate will meet with in Los An
geles. then each delegate must fortiry |
herself with an extra amount of pa.
thence and sweetness of temper. After |
a hard battle fought valiantly by both
sides. the question was decided in the
negative.
