FABLE OF COPPER BOOM.
tBoston News Bureau.)


 Ouce upon a time, many many years ago, before the Boston Stock Exchange developed chronic Innoc- uous Desuetude, there roamed at random about State street a cheer ful little Nondescript called a Cop per Boom. He was a docile little fel- low. combining the characteristics of a Lamb, a Bull and a Bear.
 This little fellow was very fond of drill cores, on which he subsisted almost entirely: but ever and anon he was won't to treat himself to the delicacies Of a Mill Run.
 One rainy morning as he ambled down State street wondering what had become of the Trinity treasury and the long overdue Dividend on Fay Street Gas, he heard a Wise Broker say that the Indiana Drill Core was the Richest Thing ever! Now as 1t chanced there had been a very marked scarcity of Live News like this. so without further Ado the Little Copper Boom hied himself to the Stock Exchange and proceeded to get busy.
 This was Quite a While after the Battle of Waterloo, sometimes sad ly referred to as the Unpleasantness of 1907; but after much Toll and Considerable Aplomb the little Cop per Boom made 1t understood that be had Arrived.
 One Broker, who had long been trying to Figure how he could make a Tamarack income jibe with a Cal unet & HecIa Family Expense Ac- count. gave the Boom its first en- couragement. He made a Noise ike unto be had received an order. And To, Orders came out Of Chaos, kals- mazoo. and even at length from Colo Roast Boston and other Distant Places.
 For a long time thereafter the little Copper Poom grew and grew uuriI he became a Real Copper Room. with a great Fondness for High Priced things. Oft and Re peatedly he would tell his Relations inc Lambs. that Drill Core was Mighty Good Thing: and they mar yeIed at his PersUicuity and said ne was something of a Boom. But they | really thought they were me i5iS Noise and that the Poom had no connection with the Big Money they were making. ! Ones found that Drill Goes ana NH [ Runs had commenced to Pail on ths ' Copper Boom. and that he shoNeu l svnn-1toms Cf a Decline. lSamultan- ] eouslv some of the Wise Oles thought that Drill Core Stocks were i not to be preferred to Money ID me ! Plank. So they all tried 10 Duck at once. but without General Puolieity.
 AS A Copper Boom is no stronger than it's weakest Stock. the Dueking forthwith became a Deluge. They made two Selling orders to De yvbere none had been before, but i thev never were called BenefactoTs. ! The Taunhs saw their Rig Money contract into Small Change ana i then expand sn'o Margin Calls And when thes alled for the cop [ ,ar- poom ther fonpf he had gone and laft them St-a- ad with tnae | IToIv Thing called a reficit.
 Although the Uel Thing haa l haen around before, he was not ~eF .oTns. Abont this time the Lambs i Sonnd that the Searching Lcoks o' tSeir prokers were more to pc sasred than Honest Toil, so they vent bask to the Jobs with the ong Hours, and ever since nave { heen working Overtime to get ahead Inf the Deficit and the Interest shere' on , ,,.an awav for a long Rest. he is Ia'ns- ;ng of Coming Back He is Pale auS srindling. vet he has strong cou- stitution and Can stand much knoch- ino Put he wants Encouragement
