The Bucket Shop.

Bucket sAops"-a name how used
to denote small outside" stockholders
or fnanclcrs not in membership with
the stock Exchange were 50 called
because when they first started in
Chicago the only commodity dealt in
by small spectators to any extent
was wheat The legitimate dealers
would not handle an order for less
than 5000 bushels, and then a lot Of
places sprung up where men OF linn
tied capital could speculate with very
small sums and these men were 2po-
ken yf coutnmptUously as buying and
selling wheat gy the bucGetfui; hence
shops where n small business was
conducted i'm grain on margin came
to be known as bucket shops. The
term was finally extended to cover an
brokerage Offices where small lots IF
either grain or stock were bought and
sold, and it was applied particularly
to those places where both seller and
buyer did not more than gamble" ou

Why is it that mans hat has II

The answer is that there was time
when a piece Of cloth adjusted to the
head and tied with band OF other
material served for Il headpiece. The
reason the bow was always placed

distinguished from one another by
their size, by their shape. by their
