SECRET OF sUliv's SUCCESS.
Black Cat in Cotton Exchange Said to
Forecast the Market

Ihefe is a black cat on the cotton
exchange which in the recent panicky
times has attracted great deal of
attention, 1t is popularly supposed to
be Daniel J. Sully's mascot. and in his
twenty-third floor of the Wall Ex-
change building there are many repro
ductions of the famous black cat Of
the cotton exchange.
When brokers enter the exchange
from the Hanover square entrance
they always look for the black cat
which invariably sits at the entrance
browsing over a radiator Now, when
one enters and observes the cat some
times he moves 1t has invariably
been the case that whenever he moves
his left hind leg for a stretch upward
the market is bound to go up.
1t was Mr.. Sully who first noticed
this peculiarity of the black cat. and
he shaped his market operations for
the day accordingly. Whenever the
cat does not appear to take any notice
of anyone the market is usually dead
and hfeless. When the cat is not at
his customary place on the radiator
II is the invariable sign OF a falling
market.
During the panicky times recently
brokers scanned the entrance in vain
for the cat. Day after day the bull
element searched the building for
their mascot, but he could not be
found. Day after day ii was also found
that the market slumped in panicky
proportion. At last he made his first
appearance for nearly a week after
the big break occurred, and the mar
ket began to show signs of rally

"rhe Sunrise Never Failed Us Yet"

Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods reeretfully.

Withdrawn the wisfful after glow.

So darken all the happy skies.
So gathers twilight cold ano stern,
But overhead the 'slanets burn.
And I'D the East e'her day,
Shall chase the bitter dawn away.

ITS VALUE.

The value of newspaper space when
judiciously used cannot be overestimat-
ed. The cause of many business fail
ures may be traced to this neglect.
The merchant or business man who To-
Gates in place and opens up his goods
for business and then sits down and
waits for people to drop in is one of
those fellows who expects to see rain
fall from clear sky. At the end of
the year he will find himself long on
goods and short of cash, while his more
progressive neighbor, who has taken a
liberal space in his local paper and cul-
tivated it thoroughly by placing at
tractive prices before the public, will
get the business. In placing an Gdver-
tisenaent in newspaper two impor-
