Speculation.

Norris Sellers Largely, the young
Montana millionaire who is devoting
himself to the theatrical business, said
at dinner apropos of his new theatre
in New York:
81 think that theatricals offer a
field for shrewd investors. They are
very steady. They are not as the
slave trade was during the Civil War.
Perhaps you have heard of the
slave who wanted to buy his freedom.
This was before the war, and since he
was very good slave, Lls master
would not sell him to himself at any
price.
But as the war approached its end
the master not unnaturally changed
his mind. He sent for the slave one
morning, and asked him if he was still
of the same mind about purchasing
himself.
"The slave scratched his head, look.
ed at the ground and faltered;
"Well, Msrse Henry, All did
want IT buy myself, but Ah been a.

Then and Now.

During the campaign Of 1905, says
the Hampshire Review. there was
placed over coal tipple, in Preston
county, on the main line Of the b. q
O., huge sign, and for long time
that sign Haunted forth to the world
the lie that the mine had been closed
because the tariff on coal had been
reduced by the Wilson, German Tariff
from seventy.6ve TO forty cents a ton.
a proposition absurd on its face.
Then came the business revival, the
sign came down and great prosperity
apparently came to that mine and its
owner, although the tariff remained
at 40 cents per ton. Now there is
different story. For weeks this same
mine has been closed, its cars are out
and its coke ovens are cold, as are all
the others around it. There is no
sign on it now, save the sign OF dis
tress and decay. This, too, at time
when the capita money circulation Of
the country is $S4 when before il was
Sl8; when we had had a series Of
phenomenslly large agricultural crop
failures; when there is now 10, 5,c00,-
600 more people in the country than
then and last, bat not least. when
every department Of government,
State and nation. is Republican, when
then il was Democratic.
