NEW IDEA IN STOCKS.
A Method to Keep the Lambs from
Being Sheared So Often.

There is custom by capitals SITS
to run the stock of large conf
panies far above what there really
is in the value of the property it
self. The process has been called
watering stock" The name is
derived from the olden-time way
of giving cattle great amount of
salt the day before the cattle buyer
came to the farm, a few hours be-
fore he arrived to drive the cattle
to the river and there let them fill
themselves to the utmost; then
when the dealer arrived, the cattle
were driven upon the scales and
weighed, with the result that the
seller was paid a great amount for
the weight Of the water which the
cattle had just drunk. This meth
cd today is condemned by every
honest buyer and seller.
However, the principal involved
has been carried over in the world
of finance. Stock in a company
is sold far beyond in value the in
trinsic worth of the concern. The
stock of the business is "watered."
1t has been difficult to reach the
evils by law. The result has been
that when company goes to the
wall there are hundreds of people
who lose their investments, for
there is not enough in the holdings
of the company to make good their
stock holdings. They are found
like the boy on the dark night.
away out in the woods, simply
holding an empty sack and wait
ing forever.
In order TO prevent watering
stocks, fnancier suggests that
law be passed that will compel
companies to sell their stock on
the basis of fractions derived from
the entire holdings of the com
pany. Then a person would not
buy for instance ten 500 shares,
but on the contrary, would buy
cloth or I-4th of the entire hold
ing Of the concern. In this way it
would be impossible to sell any
more than a whole number. All of
the certificates of stocks must al
ways add a whole number.

the same mind. Neither would
give into the other, with the re-
suit that all three of them when
the train pulled into Baltimore,
felt like members of different par
ties, and all wished themselved
members of the Fraternal order of
Republicans, and fear of them
made the delegates huddle to to-
gether and nominate the man who
will inspire the greatest amount
of courage for the coming struggle
of this fall to keep Maryland from
being flooded and captured by Re-
publicanism.

SUCCESS OFTEN AT HOME.
An Old Man Spent Many Years from
Home to Get Poor, and Later to
Find Wealth at Home.

The story is told of an old citi-
zen out near Marietta, Ohio, who
after years OF searching for success,
at last after his strength was all
gone, found it at home.
There had come upon this old
man in his youth a craze to become
rich like many another through
oil. He sold several of his farms
and took the earnings and bought
leases upon prospective oil fields,
until all his wealth was gone ex-
cept a stony farm on the hill side,
too poor even to be sold. When
all was lost, when all his friends
had left him, and when he had
nothing left but this survey of
rocks, he went there to live and to
die in peace.
But two years had passed when
oil was discovered upon his neigh
boris farm. Leasers rushed to
him, and desired to get bargain
with him for the products of his
farm. He refused saying, Il lost
everything in leases, except this
old stony farm. l guess it was
the frmest of all my possessions.
l shall hold fast to it."
Within one week he was made
one of company OF oil dealers
and drillers with the result that
today he is a millionaire. He at
last found that at home for which
he had been spending his life
seeking in other parts of the
world.

weather the other day in front of
the National Bank Building, in
Oakland. No sooner had they met
than Mr.. Dryweather began to cuss
the weatherman.
Hasn't it been powerfully wet, :"
said Mr.. Dryweather, the proprie-
tor of a hotel at the Park. II
don't know when l ever saw the
gods of rain so much in power as
they are during the summer of
1907. My guests have about all
left my hotel because it is too
rainy up here for them"
"Truly, its strange" replied
Mr.. Wetweather, the proprietor of
a large wheat farm, of buckwheat
fields, and of fish ponds. my
stocks have been living we'll off the
excellent hay that the wet weather
has produced; my fish are swim
ming joyfully in their wellfed wat
ers. And none of my family nor
none of my neighbours, have been
sick this summer on account of the
hot weather"
The conversation was broken
by the appearance of Mr., Nothing
muchtodo, who said that the
weather had been such this year
that he had found it impossible to
get work anywhere
"I'll give you a job driving a
team for me here to town to bring
in products every day." broke in
Mr.. Wetweather.
II can't work outside, my friend,
for sunshine, if it were to come,
always makes me sick and weak. !"
do any of you men know
where l can get a man to help me
in my tin shop?' The question
was asked by Mr.. Alwaysbusy. 81
never had so many roofs to repair
in all my life. "
Mr.. Nothingmuchtodo quietly
withdrew, saying he had a date
for which he was already late.
The trio was joined by Rev.
Takeitasitcomes. After he gave
the usual pastoral handshake, he
began the never ending subject of
the weather, and philosophical in
this wise:
providence gives the weather,
and decides what kind. 1t isigrand
that it is so. l once dreamed of a
land where men had been given
charge of the weather and the
power of saying what kind. And
| the turmoil that ensued, it is i'm
possible for me to describe. No
one was pleased with the kind of
weather that the other one would
bring about. What suited the
farmer killed the business Of the
summer resort man; and what was
clover for hotel keeper, burned to
crisp the products of the farm.
And one individual, apparently
with nothing much to do. was al
ways trying to get that sort of
weather which would knock out
the work on job upon which
he had just been hired. And he
had the largest following of all the
| ringsters in the bunch who were
trying to get control and to
manipulate the wires which
governed the weather. There was
a constant revolution, a perfect
melee, and nothing suited one of
them a second. Twas glad when
l woke and found it a dream and
learned that the weather is beyond
the power of man, one of whom

NOT ALL SUNSHINE
IN THE LARGE CITIES
An Old Citizen Of Garrett Speaks Ad-
visedIy On A Timely Theme.
FEW TEMPTATIONS ON THE FARM
A Life of Purity More Desirable Than
a Life of "Good Times" With Its
Misunderstanding Expenses Very
High-SaIaries Must also be High.

There is a large number of
young people leaving the farms
and small towns and going to
large cities. From these metropo-
Uses there come voices of warning
against the flood of country youths
which is pouring into large cities.
The young people of the farms
complain that the work of their
fathers is too much like drugery,
to much like slavery, and entirely
too taxing upon the flesh and
body.
An old citizen of Garrett county,
who has seen all sides of life, and
who has watched young men rise
and fall, said recently, in speak
ing of the great desire of the
country lads and lasses to live
somewhere in the great centers of
civilization:
1t is true that work OIL the
farm IS monotonous, but isn't that
true everywhere? What work is
there in the universe which is not
trying upon the flesh? What work
is there which after years of repiti
ton does not become irksome to
the body and cause WEAKNESS?
None under the sun.
People who live in the cities
are more tired at night than are
those who work on the farms. And
indeed, they are far more faded.
What canses this jaded feeling of
which the countryman knows but
little? 1t is taxation of the soul
and mind which creates jadedness
and city citizen has that sort of
taxation to great excess. City
people ordinarily can't eat a meal,
without at a great rush. Time in
the city passes always for money,
and money is always need
ed by the city boy and girl.
The gorged meal destroys the
stomach so that it never more is of
value and bad health follows.
1t is the eternal, never ending rush
OF the city which is killing the
city man and woman. The farm
er boy experiences just such rushes
as the city man endures ninety
per cent of his life, only when he
tries to get the hay up and put
away before the rain pours which
IS now seen coming across the
meadow. Then there is a rush on
the farm. That sort of rush pre-
walls all the time in cities, in ord
er to get money enough to pay ex-
penses, to keep body and soul to-
gether. Without assurance of a very
large salary, the country boy or
girl should stay away from these
large centers, where thousands ar e
battling for livelihood.
"Bnt, finally, the young of the
cities are compelled to carry extra
burdens because of the thousands
of temptations to wickedness Of
which the boy in the country
knows nothing. Liquor is sold
on every corner, and other places
of greater injury are run wide open
all the while. The result is that
but a small per cent. of the boys
and girls in the cities are able to
grow up and say ofthese doorways
to hell, like the boy or girl in the
rural districts, I never knew
them
"It is my opinion that it is bet
ter to pass life free of vice, if the
body is tired at nights, than to
live the life of the cities and have
both the body and mind weary
and jaded and the soul blackened
by sin. ."
