When to Go Home.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner:
when tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want to
show others that you have reformed, go
home and let your family get acquainted
with the fact. When you want to show
yourself at your best go home and do the
act there. When you feel like being ex-
ira liberal, go home and practice on your
wife and children first. When you want
to shine with extra brilliancy, go home
and light up the e'hele household. 49, To
which we would add, when you have a
bad cold, go home and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and a quick cure
is certain. For sale by Fred Long.

Too Much Prosperity
Means Calamity.

In Everybody's Magazine for
January, Edwin Lefevre, Wall
street expert and well-mown
writer of stories of finance, gives,
in The Game Got Them" the
inside story of the recent panic,
as seen through the eyes of Wall
street; Mr.. Lefevre says in part:
Who would have said that the
tourlng-car and the projected
european trip of 1908 had regret
fully to be abandoned because
some years ago cold-eyed, eagle
beaked gentleman in London COW
eted a few gold mines in the
Iransvaal? And that the reason
why Santa Claus will not bring
the Russian sables this Christmas
is that Russian grafters, dream
ing of vast Manchurian plunder,
also dreamed that the Japs were
apes? Yet these remote events
are clearly causes of such disap-
polntments. For the Boer War,
so far as concerned the world of
business, which does not trouble
itself with ethics, meant the loss
of about thousand millions of
liquid capital. Not very long af-
ter that stupendous financial loss
came the war between Russia and
Japan, and still greater amount
OF capital disappeared forever
something like a billion and a
quarter of dollars. Then came
the San Francisco disaster. The
loss there was, let us say, five
hundred millions of dollars; that
much wiped out at one fell swoop.
Thus you have in a few years the
loss of over two and half bill
lions of dollars of this little
worlds liquid capital. Remem-
Der, this was no stock-market-
slump loss, no mere disappear
ance of delusive paper profit"
on speculative line, no shrink
age of bank accounts incidental
to the collapse of some absurd
boom, no diversion from one chan
mel of trade into another; but the
actual and definite and irretriev-
able loss of that much of the
worlds capital, which it could
have used, which it needed to do
business with.
And serious though so stupen-
dous loss at any time would be,
it proved much more than usually
serious because during the past
three or four years the entire
world has been unusually busy.
Aside from spasms of speculation
in stocks and staples and metals,
there has been unprecedented ac-
tivity and expansion in industries
and manufactures, not only in the
United States, but also in Ger
many and England and France.
In our country, because of the
national optimism, the expansion
has been extraordinary, the vol
ume of business simply colossal;
our industries have grown at such
rate that we have been unable
properly to finance that growth.
This state of affairs has been
clear to all for many months. We
have had too much prosperity for
the money; more than we could
promptly pay for. Didn't the
railroads pray for less business so
that they could earn more per ton
per mile?"
