market tipsters have swelled during the past
few weeks By the appearance Of several
new prophets who advertise themselves
extensively and Ia . manner that must be

business were made during the bull market.
One OF the pioneers made nearly $500 900
In two years from capital OF IS. which was
borrowed money. Ae spent ~ Of that orig

fifteen, Of which return he invested about
twelve in moro advertising. and so on until
At the height Of his sucoess he was spending
hundreds Of dollars a day 10 advertising.
With his $500. 900 he retired. giving the busi-
ness to his stenoOaphers and clerks. He
then went into the market and bought stooks
at the top. He took loss something like

recent experience OF tipsters Is to the con-

The shillnlah is not n mere stick
picked up for n few pence or cut casu-
ally on of the common hedge. Like
the Arab mare, 1t grows TO maturity
under the fostering care of its owner.
The shillalah. like the poet. is born.
not made. Like the poet, too, 1t is a
choice plant and its growth Is slow.
Among 10000 b%lackthorn shoots per
haps not more than one is destined to
become famous, but one of the 10000
appears Of singular fitness. AS soon as
discovered 1t is marked and dedicated
for future service. Everything that
might hinder its development is re-
moved. and any offshoot of the main
stem is skIllfully cut of. With constant
care 1t grows thick and strong upon a
Dubious root that a be shaped into a
handle,
