The short interest in Metropolitan Sc
curities Company is undoubtedly large
for a stock usually so inactive, and
there is reason to believe that some of
it has been accumulated because of ex-
traordinary Ignorance as to the meaning
OF quotations for the shares. A quota
tion OF n for Metropolitan Securities
represents a discount OF s23 share
from the $50 already paid in in the two
assessments upon the stock. The buyer
of the stock at II pays $27 instead of
S77 a share for it, shouldering, of
course, the liability of caIIs-which may
never be issued-for two further assess
ments of SIS each. The limit of possible
profit OF an operation for the fall in the
price Of the stock is, therefore. s27 a
share instead OF SIT. as appears super
ficially, and, strange as it may seem.
speculative commitments have been
made without regard to this fact.

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr.. G.. l.. Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
The doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal cord. and treated him
for two months. during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wal.a up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want 20 run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. | pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not sin

was some months ago, and feel sure
that he is permanently cured We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
for his restoration to good health

Ciersyman's Use of Slang Was Unfc-.

few days following a recent up

man requested friend to have an
advertisement of the marriage insert
ed IN the papers. The friend first as
certained the cost, and then wrote to
the rector Tor instruction, when the
dominic replied: Put it in; Jones will
pay the freight"
Now it happened that the friend had
been discussing the wedding with a
Mr Jones. a near relative of the bride
groom, and, going to telephone.
called up Jones and explained the cir
cumstance to him.
A rather astonished voice replied:
"All right; put it in"
The clergyman, en- meeting the
friend later, said: 81 want to pay you
for that advertisement"
You do not owe for that. Jones
paid the bill"

would pay?"
