A bear raid on SnOwstOrm ran
the stock off little. but the shorts
were unable to dislodge 1t to any
great extent. The stock is paying
too high rate of dividend for it to
60 down very much. 1t is only
natural for some reaction to take
place after the strong advance, and
1t may get back to $500 tenn
porarily.
Lucky Calumet was in excellent
demand and very little stock was
offered at any reasonable figure.
Montana points were buyers of this
stock before the opening of the
market.
Hecla was much stronger and
the bid of $3.45 was the best that
has been made for months. Rumor
has 1t that an extra dividend will
be paid in January of six cents per
share. The policy of this company
has been to pay regular dividends
OF two cents per share with occa-
sional extra dividends varying
from two to seven cents per

The Doc Gives Little Lesson In
Natural History.
There used to be an eccentric Old
character in our ncighborhood," said
a planter from one of the upper par
ishes, who went by the name Of Doc
Johnson. He had never been forty
miles from the settlement in his life
and was barely able to read and write,
but he was naturally sort of Jack of
all trades, and somehow or other he
acquired a tremendous reputation for
sagacity.
"Whencver an argument arose among
the country folks Doc Johnson was
pretty certain to be called in to decide
than to have admitted ignorance on
any subject some of his statements of
fact were amazing in the extreme.
zone day Il farmer in Shc vicinity
received a letter from his son. who had
moved up to Iowa, saying, among 9th
er things, that the corn crop was look
ing bad and the country was being
oVerrun by immigrants. The last word
stumped the Old man, and after puz-
zling in vain over its meaning he hap
pencd to see Doe and called him ill.,
Johnson knew from tie peculiar
warmth of his greeting that he was
going to be asked to solve some knotty
problem and at once assumed the
wisest air
doe said the farmer pointing to
the mysterious passage in the letter,
what in thunder does that boy mean
by immigrants? What air they like,
anyhow
johnson spelled through the para
graph and, noting the reference to the
bad corn crop, began rapidly to put
two and two together.

gain time. Why, l thought everybody
