Once upon time a Philadelphia
layer came South. He had pair Of
big spectacles. an inquisitive mind,
and he wanted to know, says Harris
Dickson, In Success Magazine. With
his Southern friend he was hurrying
to the court house. A negro parade
blocked the street; negroes In car.
riages, on horseback. on foot; negroes
with swords and axes: stumpy negroes
with Masonic banners. lean negroes
with Pythian devices. fat negroes with
Odd Fellows insignia. miscellaneous
negroes with miscellaneous emblems.
The Philadelphia pushed through
the crowd and ran back in great ex.
element. What's 1t all about? What
are they doing?"
The Southern couldn't explain, but
beckoned to very intelligent young
negro--who. by the way, was a prom.
inent politician and asked, Tom,
what's the occasion Of all this pa.
rade?"
The young negro laughed. "Now.,

ger don't need no 'casion for pa

Tom had spoken mouthful. Pa.
geantry appeals to the negro's tropical
imagination. Churches and lodges fur
nish most of the social life that he
knows. He does not ask why the

with the fellow that beats the drum

What Is believed to be the smallest

business recently at Front street and
Bigelow court, Worcester. 1t consists
OF two shelves. fourteen inches long,
attached to the building owned by J..

State Board OF Agriculture. and the
space given up to the display OF a
few handouts OF fruit and peanuts
contains 2s0 square inches. {

Odd jan GROW.

There is not day in the year when
We cannot see this rogue. He may
be perching In the tree tops. robbing
the cornfield or. in company with
many OF his kind, flying in flocks high
over our housetops. Never does he
need to go south for food, for he Is
cunning enough. smart enough or, If
needs be. cruel enough to fnd liw
ing anywhere. Late summer Is the
time Of his delight, for then he seems
to know that he can get bountiful
feasts in the cornfield and at the same
time laugh at the ugly old scarecrow
which pretends to guard the grain.
Perhaps Jim Grow thinks that he is
entitled to this merriment, for did
he not help the farmer raise the corn
from the seed. In the spring he paid
daily visits to the cornfields, eating
the grltbs, Erasshoppers, cutworms,
May beetles and field mice, which
would have destroyed many Of the
golden grains. Sometimes Jim Grow
ate the corn himself, but then II the
farmer had dipped the grain in tar
before planting 1t the hungry black
bird would have eaten only the In.

Jim Grow cares very little how he
gets his food. as long as his appetite
Is satisfied. Often he has been known
to steal baby chickens and birds or
even eat their eggs. During the win

spEcuLAr1Na ON MARGIN.

American and EnHlish Ways of
Doing II Are Very Different.
In America a SPECTATORS capital
with an exception to be noted below
Is necessarily at least the size OF his
margin in his brokers' hands. though
1t is to be feared that in only too many
instances 1t is Just this and nothing
more.
On the London stock exchange an
other method prevails which, says
MCody's Magazine, 1t is probable has
done more in the long-ago past to give
stock speculation its bad name than
all the episodes OF an unsavory ma
ture which have ever. occurred on
American exchanges. In London after
the inevitable introduction to broker
the new customer gives his order, but
makes no deposit at all.
The broker Is supposed to learn
something of his new clients means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself. Twice month the
English have what they call their set
Element days. A customer long of a
stock whose commitment has gone
somewhat against him is then requir-
ed to pay the differences. as they are
called. between his purchase price and
the current quotation.
He must also pay charge called a
contango for holding the settlement
over into the next fortnightly period
re he does not wish to close St3f9 com.
mitment. AS a consequence of this
way OF doing business a Spectator
may be trading on a few points mar
gin In reality. or In fact on no mar
gin at all; he may be utterly pennl-
less without his brokers' knowing it.
That this method works out with
fewer losses in England that 1t would
do, here is due to the fact that the so
cial and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us. and also that an IN
PRODUCTION means more there than
here, as the introducer is regarded as
to certain extent responsible NOR
ally for the business department of his
friend.
It is worth while observing (and
this is the exception referred to aboye)
that In certain Instances the methods
pursued in American stock exchange
houses are the same as those obtain
ing in London. Little as the fact Is
known. 1t is not an unfrequent custom
for very wealthy SPECTATORS to have
no fixed margin or even no margin at
all with their brokers'.
II q man of this sort loses on a
commitment he sends his broker a
check for the loss; If he wins his bro.
