Christmas SupSrStlttonS.
If Christmas day on Sunday be.
A troublous winter We shall! see,
Mingled with waters strong:
Good there shall be without fable.
For the summer shall be reasonable.
With storms at times among.
Wines that year shall all be good:
The harvest shall be wet with flood,
Pestilence fall on many country.
Ere that sickness shall have passed
And while great tempests last
Many young people dead shall be.
Princes that year with iron shall die:
There shall be changing OF many lords
high.
Among knights great debate.
Many tidings shall come to men:
Many wives shall be weeping them
Both Of poor and great estate.
The faith shall then be hurt truly.
For divers points of heresy
That shall then appear
Through the tempting Of the fend.
And divers matters unkind
Shall bring great danger near.
Cattle shall thrive. one and the other,
Save oxen: they shall kill each other.
And some beasts-they shall die.
Both fruit and corn will not be good,
Apples will be scarce for food.
And ships shall suffer on the sea

Fixed stars.

There are no fixed stars. When we
look up at tie stars they appear to be
very still and peaceful, but astrono-
mers know that such is not the case
but that each one is moving, some
with incredible speed, invisible to the
unaided eye. yet visible to the instru.
ments at their disposal. Our sun, fol
instance. which is nothing more or
less than one Of the stars supposed
10 be .'fixed.'' is moving along, with

ture. from the most insignificant germ
to the largest world. everything is in

howled and shrieked through the rig
ging Of the feet Of coasting vessels
warped alongside the Main street,
wharf, and unconsciously the men
hitched their chairs closer to the fire
as fiercer blast ratified the windows.
During temporary lull in the storm
Cap'n 81 Tuttle broke the silence with
the following narratives:
"'Twas jest sech Christmas eve
as this. along back In the eighties.
when was roundin' old Hatteras in
the good ship Tirzah Ann. You recol-
lect her. don't you? Hailed from Green
port and could smash through any gale
that ever blowed.
"In course twas some wet on deck.
and the further we pounded along the
rougher 1t got. and finally we had to
turn and run afore the wind. Never
saw sech gale to hang on! We
plowed through seas you could only
guess the height of. And dark! You
couldn't see your hand afore your face.
There was five of us aboard. and
we was pretty we'll tuckered out next
mornin'. but daylight showed no let
up. and. to make things wuss. a heavy
snow sot in. Seemed as II 1t turned to
ice to wunst soon as 1t hit the deck.
and afore you could say Jack Robin
SON. the riggin' was froze solid. and n
dozen men with axes couldn't have
cast loose the dory.
"Along about six bells the fust mate
took the wheel. and went below to
get bracer. when there come heavy
crash. and both masts went by the
board. went up the companionway
in two jumps. but afore reached the
deck the water was pourin' into the
fo'castle in tons. and the ship begun
to heave and wallow like stuck pig.
.There warn't any use tryin' to
launch the dory. even II we had had
time. and in two shakes of dogs
tail the Tirzah Ann rose high on the
top of a huge comber. quivered like a
dyin' lion and then plunged head first
beneath the. waves With all on board
Captain 81 stopped and leisurely bit
off chunk of cut plug. when some one
asked. '.How did you escape?'
I'VE didn't" drawled the captain.

He Who Has Knowledge and He Who
CANDLES on Gossip.
OF the many popular decisions touch
ing Wall street and its people none is
more persistent or more dangerous to
nothing great permanent fortunes have
been made by shrewd and lucky spec
ulation in prices. 1t isn't true. We
di1erentiate here between speculation
in prices only and the kind Of legiti-
mate speculation which seeks to antici-
pate great economic changes. I.egiti-
mate speculation has its translation
into prices. too. but 1T takes, first, origi-
nal capital in some reasonable proper
ton to the profits expected and. Sec
ondly. the treatment of exceptional
opportunity with correct imagination.
Its risks at best are very large. Among
our Wall street acquaintances are sew
eral hard headed men who succeed in
making $4,000 a year by speculation.
Not one Of them has capital of less
than $25O.0OO. They make it earn
about 1Oper cent.
Take Blank. one of the ablest specu-
lators we know. He has made half a
million dollars, during the past FIVE
years. Very handsome return. you
say. Let us look at Blank. He was
the chief accountant of one of the big
railway systems when an uncle, dying.
left him $4,000. Mind you. he was an
expert railway statistician and an ex.
ceptionally able young man to boot.
He knew his own road like book. as
well as some other things that only the
directors were aware Of. The stock Of
the system looked cheap to him, and
he used his $4,000 to margin 1000
shares. A bull market was beginning.
and within a month or two Blanks
capital had increased to 100000 He
was content with ten point rise.
though the stock advanced ten points
more. That was the first of Blanks
deals. Twelve months later he won
again. He thought that the stock Of
certain western system was selling
below its value and set about an In
vestigation to find the facts. He hired
a first class engineer and a retired traf-
tlc manager to travel from one end OF
that railroad to the other. and he him
self analyzed the accounts. When all
the reports were in 1t seemed to him
that the system was earning enough
money to Justify an increase of its
dividend. and he plunged once more.
He waited six months for his point
this time. and his investigation had
cost him $1,000. He made $4,000.
Good interest. you say. but think of
Blanks special equipment for the
/ game and the trouble he took to be
right. You. Mr.. Thinmarginist, after
reading the Wall street gossip In your
daily paper. adventure your. thousand
or two thousand dollars and expect To
double your money. Mark, the; differ

THE FAIR COMMISSIONERS, AND
 THE GOVERNOR

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir:-I noticed some days ago that the governor had called for the resig- nations of the Territorial Fair Com missioners. As one who has the good of the fair at heart, I have looked for the cause of this action by the gov ernor: As one of the number who at tended the board of trade banquet, at which the project of establishing a territorial fair was started: As one who contributed to such, and as one who has witnessed its upbuilding and progress, I have always felt a pride in the splendid work of Commission CTS B. A. Packard and J. C. Adams, in that behalf, and confess my sur prise at the request for their resig- nations.
 All must concede that had it not been for the push and untiring zeal of these men, the fair would not be in the successful operation we find it today. What cause is there then for change of commissioners? A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF
 TRADE"
