THE MONUMENTAL SALES OF
 WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STOCK.

The sales at fictitious prices were very large in the west. An investor from one of the Western states came to New York last winter to pick up some cheap De Forest stock. He ap- peared one day in the office of a broker in lower Broadway and asked for a quotation on the stock. What can I get a thousand shares for?" ask ed the westerner. "Oh. about 30 cents a share" replied the broker. The westerner gasped. You must mean another stock" said he: Pm speaking of American De Forest Wireless" The broker took some stock certificates out of a pigeonhole and exhibited them to the investor The wcsterner. drew out of his inside pocket d certifi- cate for one thousand shares of De Forest and compared it with the certi- fcates the broker had. They were all of the same printing press. "I paid s4 share for this-s4000 for the lott" exclaimed the westerner. Do you mean to tell me that I can buy the same amount of stock in the market here for $500.
 The broker said he could, and he might get 1t cheaper. The westerner's $4O00 worth of stock a few days later had q market value of s150 and he very wisely concluded that he wouldn't send any more good money after bad. His experience is like that Of thous- ands of other investors all over the country who have bought wireless stock at fictitious prices. only to en- rich the wireless promoters and their interruptions stock selling agents. In advertising for agents the other day the other day the De Forest people said: 'The stock Is selling readily. and men of ability can easily earn from one hundred dollars to five hum cred dollars a week. This Is a rare opportunity to become identified with

TO LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS.

Again we have the word of scient- ist for it that man should live d hun dred years. and that so far as he falls short of the century mark he has been cut off before his time. says the Scrap Book.
 This statement so often made by sci entific men. is repeated by Sf James Crichton- Browne. a well known Lon don physician and an official in the Royal Institution.
 ey cry man is entitled to his century. and every woman to a century and little more. for women live longer than men. Every child should be brought up impressed with the obligation of hving to a hundred. and should be taught how to avoid the irregularities tiat tend to frustrate that laudable ambition."

POINTS FROM A PREACHER.

In a baccalaureate address last Sun day the following points essential to a successful career were noted by Geo. R. Van De Water of St. Andrews church. New York.
 "Given good health and a fair abili- tN. desire to do the right thing. and b. helpful to the community. these are certain. elements of a successful career worthy of your consideration" he said, Where these are present success is certain. When any one is absent sue cess is conjectural. Were all are wanting. success IS impossible"
 As elements of a successful career. Dr. Van De Water named decision of character. resolution. courage, inde- pendence. perseverance and common sense. After discussing these. the preacher addressed himself directly to the graduates. saying:
 You represent a tremendous en- ginery of power. For better or for worse you go out into the world to i'm prove it or to injure it. Every one of you know the difference between right and wrong. but real. genuine. old fashioned and unauestioned right and wrong. You will find in the complex relations of life the distinctions of right and wrong shade off so gradual ly that almost impercentibly at times they become undistinguishable. The only safety is ;n keeping so far from the precipice that danger is falling over is avoided.
 As educated men more is expected of you than of other men not so gifted. The state. having given you your edu- cation. has the right to your service. You serve the state when you do what is right. You arc an ingrate when you do what is wrong. Now that you are trained clearly to think you are to be leaders, of others. not followers. in the rabble."

Impressions Eastern Tenderfset Carry
 from the Tall Grass.

The enthusiasm which the. traveller from, the east brings back with him from the west often leads to the i'm pression that he hes discovered some thing new, sa.s the Wall Street Jour nal. But quite. the contrary is the case. because the discoverey of the west Is as old as the impulse which ,erminat- ed in the voyage of Columbus to America. and as young as the latest return Of a dweller in the east who has come back with, the spirit of the west upon him.
 The fact Is that the west K not so much the name of a geographical To- cality as of a temDeramental attitude caused b. association with an ener- getic people who are more closely in contact with the soil than is the case in other parts of the world. Here is an empire of the open and free spirit which manifests itself to the newcomer in a wav that communicates itself to him and sends him back to the east as . missionary.
 The spirit of the west is not easily assayed. There is a love of hard work in It. and readiness to work hand in a utkItt .'luth anu S'a of purpose. and a high measure of faith in the future, all of which figure constantly in laying the foundations and building aloft the structure Of empire. The cast is so different that the change from the east to the west no matter how often it is made. has the nature of a voyage of discovery. during which new points of view new facts of life. new appreciation of per sonal and business forces are disclosed as fresh discoveries, unlike the things which belong to the modes of thought and methods of business in the east.
 Because of the investment power which the west represents. 1t becomes more important than ever for those whose lot is cast in the east to partake occasionally of this occidentation as a means of understanding the western position and point of view This posi- ton Is characterized by an increased financial independence of the east. more radical attitude on many of the newer public questions. and the dispo- s7tion to select the better things from all sources. unhampered by limitations Of tradition. This fact shows itself in their institutional development as well as in their business methods.
 The accumulation of western re- sources is beginning to rest directly upon the east Western men and western capital are constantly turning east for a wider field for their energies The drift from the west to the east is quite as definite. though possibly not quite so large as that of the east to the west. After all. east and west. north and south. are but so many great aspects of the same national life which need to be mingled to keep the pro- vincial in use from narrowing our vis- sion. or from accepting the illusion that part is greater than the whole.

MONEY EARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL

Working girls should get all the edu cation they can. They will command better wages and be more respected If they have a good education. They can afford to go through the high school if they are ambitious.

 There always are children who have been out of school for sickness or for various reasons have fallen behind. I tutor them and tho pay is fair. Many mothers no longer keep maids. or. if they do they do not expect them to care for their children. I stay with them while their parents go out even ings and earn 90 cents per evening.

 In order to cover ur the sins of the past. the United Wireless promoters have evolved fearful and wonderful plan of exchange stock. In the whole history of finance have been unable to discover anything like it. Our American code of financial morals has recently been under rigorous investiga- tion. and some doubtful practices have been uncovered, but never before, to my knowledge. have the promoters of a SIS, 100000 company attempted arbi- trarily to fix various values for the same stock. The financial management of the Union Pacific railroad has re- gently been severely censured. but the searching Investigation of the govern ment has failed to show in the min utest particular that one share of Un- ion Pacific was not as valuable as any other share. no matter when nor where bought nor at what price.
 Those who believed in the future of the Union Pacific property ten years ago. when the financial outlook was dark. and who put their money into the stock at s20 a share, are on an equal footing with present day invest ors. who have tardily recognized the value of the property and have paid anywhere from sl00 to slsO a share for the stock

Ten years ago I entered a local con- vent boarding school to learn commer- cial work. with a view to fitting my self to earn comfortable living. writes correspondent. ''I secured my tuition on promise to pay within the year With barely a good common school education.- the task before me was quite difficult in the beginning However. hard work and a determina- ton to succeed helped me to take a position in four months after entering the school. I was then fifteen years old and took position at B week. with the opportunity to learn book keeping I continued to board at the school during the six months I was preparing myself for the book desk of this concern.
 During the same year my salary was increased to s9 per week. I con- tinued the effort to learn all that per- tained to the business in which l was engaged.

DID HE PLAN TO ASSAsSlNATE
 LINCOLN?

In Harper's for June. Col. W H. Crook. who was Lincoln's personal body guard tells how mysterious stranger attempted to reach President Lincoln at City Point
 Not long before the final assault upon Petersburg" says Col. Crook. "a curious incident happened. A man came on board the River Queen and asked Captain Bradford If he could see the president. He was referred to me MT. Lincoln instructed me not to ad- init any ore but General Cant or Ad- miral Porter. so told the man that the president was not to be seen. The visi- toI became very much excited. He said that he had rendered MT. Lincoln valu- able services in Illinois during the campaign for the presidency. and had spent large sums of money. He was in trouble; he must see the president He protested that he was known to MT. Lincoln personally asked his name. At first he refused to give it. but finally said that 1t was Smith and that he lived near Mir Lincoln's home in Illinois.
 'I went to the president and carried smiths message. Mir. Lincoln laugh ed at first. Smith Is. of course. an ul common name Then he became serious. If what ife says is true. I would know him. But I do not The man is an impostor. and I won't see him.
