COMING ANNUAL MEETING
InlernatIonal gIIver company,s Prete

 International Silver Company's Prefer
 red Stock.
 Local holders of the preferred stock of the International Silver company have been receiving notices of the forthcoming annual meeting of the company, which will be held in Jersey City March 24.
 A financial house of New York city has sent to all holders of this stock a circular letter asking for proxies. By the same mail holders of the stock are receiving a circular letter from Samuel Dodd, the president of the company, asking them to only entrust their proxies to known parties. He refers to the circular sent out by the financial house.
 The trouble seems to be that the pre- ferred stock has been stricken from the New York Stock exchange and holders have been unable to find much of a market for it. The financial house de- sires to have it listed and the officers of the company do not.
 The preferred pays per cent. yearly and sells around $40. The common has not brought much of anything and no dividends have ever been paid on it. There is $9,944. zoo preferred and s6.6OI' 800 of the common stock outstanding.
 The International company controls several companies in this state. The majority of the directors are Connectl- cut men. The funded debt of the com pany is $6S61,3 ,34S. The company had a surplus in 1902 of $214,21S.

when you left, that would be mis-

The regular meeting of the village
debating society was in full blast, and
the question for discussion was. Re
solved that a monarchy is stronger
form of government than republic"
One of the speakers on the affirmative
side, after an eloquent eXordium, pro
ceeded to say:
''Now, Mr.. President. the gentleman
who preceded me has undertaken to
show by an appeal to history that mon
arches are short lived. He has en-
deayored to bolster up his side of the
argument by giving a list of kingdoms
and empires that have risen. fiOuriShed
q short time and fallen. He fails to
mention the fact that most of the
strong governments in all ages of the
world have been monarchies. He does
not give you a list of the republics that
have strutted their brief hour upon the
stage and disappeared. He contents
himself, Mr.. President. with general
tiles. Let us examine both sides of this
question and see how easy it is, with
the sword of truth, to simply clash that
argument into ribbons"
Here he was interrupted by one of
the speakers on the negative side of
the question::
IF the gentleman will pardon me Il
moment. Mr.. President, this is the first
time | ever saw the sword of truth
used for the purpose of splitting an in

The general laugh that followed con-
fused the speaker, and the judges final

Across short level space the ground
fell rapidly away to the shores Of Lake

were the falls of the OSwammie river,
a sheer drop of sixty feet into the lake.

country since he had left home fifteen
years before, at the death of his par

He was Il millionaire now. but his mon

lie had lost
He felt as though time had gone back
FOR space and he was sitting on the
porch of his old home waiting for Ruth
Nesbitt to pass on her way to the
meadows. where the NeSbitt and Ras-
com COWS enjoyed common paSturage
He wondered where Ruth was now.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that the
dreams of other days might have
evolved this ideal of the past. But

'and the people inside gave me some

Her glance fell upon his sOiled clothes.
The roads had been muddy, and sew

He did not realize what change the
