MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He Consid-
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused a wrong idea of the
use and value of money.
THE spendthrift says that money,
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat, it was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
strangely wrong, too, in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps a
half million or more, live in the sim
pie dug-outs and shanties of their lean
early days.
Once, lecturing, l landed at an Aus
traiian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against a post with his hands in his
pockets, l beckoned to him and said:
See here, if you carry these bags
up to the hotel III give you half a
crown
"The man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from his
pocket, threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again, and walked away
without word"

convince you that it is to your interest
to buy his goods, and you go to a
dealer where such articles are usually
handled for sale, do not let the dealer
or any one of his clerks sell you some

CUTS Off LITTLE ROCK BOARD
Continuous Quotations No Longer Re.
ceived Fom the Cotton Exchange
Other Places Affected by Action.

Little Rock, Ark-For the present,
at least. the Little Rock Board OF
Trade will not receive continuous quo
tations from the New York Cotton Ex-
change. This service has been stopped
by the New York exchange, and is eff
fective in all the Southern states which
have anti-bucket shop laws.
The Board of Trade will continue to
receive continuous quotations from
New Orleans, Liverpool and Chicago.
The definite reason for New Yorks ac-
ton in this regard is not known in
Little Rock. 1t is beliveed, however,
the action is a retaliation for the laws
considered Objectionable. Just as soon
as the Board of Trade learns the real
reason for the action taken by the
New York exchange, a meeting of the
Board of Directors will be held. If the
service can be established the di-
rectors will do it.
When the Arkansas act forbidding
the practice of dealing in futures was
approved the Little Rock Board of
Trade did not receive quotations at all
for several days. 1t was finally arrang-
ed to get the quotations daily from
the big cotton exchanges under spe-
cial contracts. The quotations are
for the sole use of members of the
Board of Trade, no one except a mem
Der of the organization having the priv
ilege of obtaining the quotations.
The receiving of quotations in this
state simply gives the cotton trade a
Zine on the market. 1t is not law
full to deal in futures. Just how much
it costs to get the quotations has never
been made public by the Little Rock
Board Of Trade
George r. Brown, secretary of the
organization, stated he was not sur
prised at the action of the New York
Cotton Exchange, although he did not
know the exact reasons for the action.
The Board of Trade and the New
York Cotton Exchange have always
been on friendly terms, and this is not
a direct move against the Little Rock
organization.

In little church in Maryland, not
