From Cincinnati Commercials Tribune.
Walter Mason is the man who tells
the time Of day by looking in his palm.
A year or 80 ago Mr.. Mason. who
lives in the town Of Newport, Me-.
became aware that he possessed the
remarkable faculty of telling accur-
ate time Of day by simply looking in
his palm. just as some one else would
take out his watch and look at the
figures on the dial fr'' SF+H
Mr.. Mason does not know and NO
one who has witnessed this unusuaI
proceeding has been able to tell him
the cause Of his gift. But from the
time he discovered his ability to do
so, he has never been known to make
mistake when telling the time Of
day by looking in his palm.
Considerable doubt was expressed
at flrst at his being able 10 do what
his townspeople considered little
short Of miraculous, so obtaining q
watch that could be depended upon
he nrst would look at his palm and
tell the time, after which he would
consult the watch. and thus far his
nrst statements have not deviated
from the vAtch.

CAREFUL DOCTOR

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of med
icines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard
less of the value to their pockets.

survived the various ills that followed in the wake
of Industrial over-expansion. But since the panic
clouds have cleared away there has come another
and even more wonderful appreciation in values
the most remarka bic advance in the prices of all
commodities and securities that this country has
ever known Probably more milionaires have been
made in the last II months by the steadily rising
tide of tremendous prosperity than history ever
has recorded in similar period of time. The
number of those who have grown rich quickly is
greater probably than it in the time of mer-
ger and consolidation nearly a decade ago. Be
fore the panic of 1907 there were. perhaps. 5000
miionaires In New York. Now there are any
where between 5000 and 10000.
The advances in the value of securities in the
last two years have been almost incredible. There
probably are more than 100000 persons who

1907, Steel Common 21N; in February 1909
it was 41A this October it has been well above
80. The shares of the Pennsylvania railroad are
more widely distributed than any other transpor-
tation line, more than 10000 people being listed
on its books of shareholders. Two years ago it
was 103; lately it has been above $50. Union Pa
cific Is next to Pennsylvania in the length its
stockholders list 1t is not only one of the
popular investment securities, but also that Is

York Central, Southern Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio.
Atlantic Coast Line, Illinois Central Great Nor
thern, Standard Oil-practically all the stocks in
the long list of railways and industrials have ad-
vanced from so to 100 per cent. in value
since October, 1907.
Thousands of people who are not spectators
and who are fntolerant of speculation have profit
ed enormously by this wonderful rise in prices
They are the ones who bought for investment
when the prices were low and who reap
ing tho harvest During the panic enormous
blocks of gilt-edge shares were thrown the
markets when great spectators like Heinze and
Morse, and some others who not so spectac-

scattered throughout the country and have been
tucked away in tens of thousands of safes and

dously. These tremendous reser-
yoirs of money own huge blocks OF
shares in scores of railway and In

10000 shares to almost a control

are sober, gilt-edged, dividend-pay-
