RAILROADS. BORROWING MONEY.

governor then asked: But you would
invest in national bank stock?" and
Upon receiving an affirmative reply, re-
marked that his proposition of more
{ careful regulation of railroad invest
inents by the government had been
fully proved.
Whether true in detail or not, the
story calls attention to truth which
must be considered sooner or later.
Setting aside the question as to the
presidents wisdom In putting trust
monies into national bank stock with
TITS double liability hazards, the fact
remains that national bank stocks to-
day do rank in public estimation Sec

souAMDERED ESTATES.

A man worked and saved, schened
and economical, until he was past fifty
years old, when he died, leaving an
estate of many thousands Of dollars to
s q crippled daughter. The estate con-
sisted of rented houses, store buildings,
mortgages and land. The court APP
pointed a competent administrator and
an assured income seemed to have been
established for the unfortunate daugh-
ter during the rest Of her days, until
she got married. She then gave power

i per cent of the. men who engage in
business succeed, and he was of the So
per cent. In two years time the es-
tate, which had required thirty years
of shrewd mans time in building,
was gone. Wherein did the first man
fail?
Another man, younger than the first,
worked harder, denied himself even
more, and accumulated fair fortune,
only to die when in the thirties, leavA
ing a healthy young wife and a daugh-
ter yet in her childhood. He willed all
of his property to his wife SO she
would have it available for the sup

loved. The woman with a good half
Of her life yet to live sought another
man for husband. He undertook the
management of her property and failed.
The child's heritage was gone. Where
in had the first husband failed?
Another man, the father Of four boys,
worked so hard that he never knew
an idle moment, very few luxuries and
little of the pleasures of life. He, too,
accumulated, only to die interstate. The
law divided his estate, giving one
third to the wife and mother, and dis
tributing the other two7thirds equally
among the children, when they became
of age, which they did soon. The
