1T Is one OF the inexplicable traits
OF human nature" remarked stock

Spokesman-Review, ito grab at a pos

which Is limited in the power of pay
Ing substantial dividends. We might.
illustrate this by inverting the saying
Into this: "A bird in the bush is
worth two in the hand providing the

Il find this to be the case almost
invariably in my business. OF course,
the persons that I deal with have, for
the most part, q strain Of gamblers

reckless, for those two words are
synonymous in character.
IF I am selling stocks of two kinds,
one the might be great and the other
proved fair and safe,' I can always
sell the former stock with compara-
tive ease, while the other "a conser-

they pay only 5h per cent, you have
years enough before you to wait until
you have gotten back your original
investment and then you will have a

THIS MISERABLE COUNTRY.

II We were not fearful Of offending
some of our more pious readers, we
feel compelled to remark that this
certainly is one heluva country that
we have TO live I'm. The more we
{ think of II the more dlsgusted we be-
come Why shouldn't we stand on the
street and cuss II from carly morn till
dewy eve " we want to? Anybody can
sec that the fellows who are running
things, such men as Woodrow Wilson,
either lack the sense needed for their
jobs or they belong to the bunch OF
crooks who are rcbbing all OF us. We
are the only honest people in this
country and II they would just give us
a chance we would show the whole
crowd how TO run things
AS we intimated a moment ago, II
Is an awful fate to be compelled to live
in such country as this where busi-
ness goes on the bum every once III
80 often, where we have TO pay what
Is asked for everything we eat and
sell our goods for what people will
pay for them, where we have TO pay
taxes to keep up the blooming govern
ment, where It costs all we can make
TO live and we can't afford to die be-
cause of the high price of coffns.
There Is only one redeeming feature
Of the whole situation and that is that
this miserable government under
which we live allows us the privilege
of cussing IL all we want to. Not hav-
ing done our share of the cussing IN
the past we feel that we can say all
we want to without exceeding the
amount that we are justly entitled to.
Every time we take broae glance
over the world and see how prosper.
ously and happily the people in other
parts Of the earth are living we be-
come more peeved at what we have to
endure in this peace-ridden country
For example, II we lived In England, |
France, Germany, Russia, Belgium,
Austria or Japan. we would have the
privilege of shouldering a shooting
iron and going forth to blow the day
lights out OF our foes II is true that
at the same time we would play the.l
part OF target to lot OF other fellows3
out for the same kind OF sport. but that Il
would be one OF the most pleasurable
parts Of the whole game. In number
Of those countries, whether we wanted
to fight or not, we would have the
privilege OF doing SO. Among the
other Joys Of existence in those happy
lands would be the sight OF beholdlng
