when it is entirely closed, Deafness

A THEME FOR LAUGHTER
AND FOR TEARS

laughter and tears. The business
Of New England had reached a set
tied basis. The people we're oc-
cupied, much work was going on,
but there were no places for new
men AMI immigration was turned
aside.
Then the marvellous executive
brain OF Mr.. Morgan began its
work. He and his friends controlled
the money of the country, and had
fixed things in such a way that
men with surplus means leaned on
his judgment to guide thsir invest
ments. He made investments in
railroad securities seem the very
best opening for surplus funds. So
if a road was Improbable and the
stocks we're low, he took it in low,
paid a dividend, lifted the stock
out of the mire and then unIoaded.
He combined the different steel
companies into one, organized 3
new company and unloaded the
stock, then divided $50, 600, 900
with a few friends.
His friends wanted Tenn ssee
iron and coal so he Unanswered to
take it in, and when the opportun-
ity was offered to obtain it by-in-
volving the whole Republic in q
panic, he did not hesitate for q
minute but caused the panic to be
