why they will continue to do business for

TN tell you-and it's straight stuff.
some time ago Harry Sinclair called a
meeting of the other seven club owners
We are bound to lose lot of money
still said Sinclair but I, have a good
way out There is a certain stock that
happen to know is due for a good, big
rise So II the eight of us take q, 900
shares on margin we'll have enough, as a
league, to wipe out all deficits for some
time to come r.."...- -- .-'-.-. .--.,
Sinclair then named the stock, and Il
was arranged to take the 5000 shares
for the league. Within 10 days or two
weeks the stock began to advance rapidly,
and within two months. II was up %
points. This meant profit of over $780,
VOO 10 the league as a war fund and I
understand the stock has advanced con-
siderably higher since. giving the eight
Fed owners close to million dollar
profit"
This may be pipe dream, but it is
certainly plausible-and. as we remarked
before the tip came to us from one who
rs In position to know whereof he chat
ters. Sinclair would also be in position
to furnish Just such a tip. The stock
mentioned is now selling above 800 a
share.
This sounds like a first-class system
A club owner who desired to purchase n
star ball player could pay $4,000 for said
star and at the same time lay in 500
shares OF stock, taking his profit at the
$4,000 mark. "rt
Suppose the stock, didn't &c. up? why
spoil good story?

l spent the afternoon writing a let
ter Ito my son, to be hidden among
these little clothes when.I put them
back after have shown them to Mol
lie.
So only to you, dear little book, will
I cOnfide what have written. This
letter, my dear son, viii only come to
your eyes if you have never looked
upon your mothers living face - if
when you came into the land Of the
living death closed the CoOr that sep
arated her from you forever.
Dear-deaTest son, who, when you
read this, will be coming into your
OWL want to be with you now. The
mother you have never seen, the
mother you have never known - l
want to come for just a minute into
your life to tell you all you were to
me in the long months l carried you
next my heart.
Oh, my bOy-my boy, I had such
great hopes Of you and now these
hopes are coming to frUitiOn. l only
wanted you to be a good man, for be-
ing a good man is in your mothers
eyes more successful than being
great.
Perhaps in the years that have
passed since I wrote this letter, an
other woman has come into your ia
TIERS life. One you have learned to
respect and love as mother. Dear,
that is as it should be, but just let
she who bOrp Won and to whom Won
were to be the crown Of her existence
be your real mother, for at least the
time you are reading this letter.
My dear son, want you to remem-
Der that I always dream of you as a
mana man I might be proud of,
with all your fathers strength and
some Of my sympathy.
I want, when you love a woman
and make her your wife, that you
will give her more than the romantic
sentiment that passes for love today.

and their hearts broken.
It is so easy to do the big things
for those we love, but it is the little
things which make love and living
bearable.
l find, dear son, that am writing a
plea for that girl that you will marry
that daughter" l shall never see. I
know you will love her, but just 'lOv-
ing" which, in a mans dictionary,
means usually wanting" is not
enough. Keep her loving you, and
to do this you will only need for
bearance, sympathy and federation.
"Oh, my bOy-my boy - that I
shall never remember how I
loved you; am afraid | would have
loved you more than I do your IA
Their, whom it breaks my heart to
leave, make my crumbling dust to
rise in pride because it mas given to
the world something which has made
it better.
To do this, my boy, there is only
one thing to remember, and that is
all the glory of fame that is won at
anOther's cost, all the success that
comes because one has never count
ed the cost to others, means moth
ing beside the life that is given to
good deeds and friendly kindness.
My boy my boy, at this moment
your long dead mother is standing
beside you, and although you may not
feel it, she is clasping you to her
heart.
Go, fulfill my hopes, my ambitions
for you, and shall not have died that
you might live, in vain.
l know, little book, that Dick
would think this very morbid. and I
shall not tell him about it; but l guess
I have put into a written prayer my
hopes and fears.
Ipresume shall be holding my boy
in my arms before a wood fire and
see this letter cracking in the blaze.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Central pow.

That this has not been accomplished
without weakening the other front is
indicated by definite news OF Russian
advances on the Riga Dyinsk front the
last part OF the eastern battle line on
which the invaders kept up anything
In the nature Of q definite offensive. :,
Thus far the plans Of the Central
powers In the Balkans have worked
like well oiled machinery, but the
latest news from Macedonia indicates
the initiative is not to be left entirely
to the invaders much longer.
Reports come via Paris that the An.
glo-French forces are making their
presence felt against the Buigarlans.
The entente allies claim their opera!
tions are proceeding along the whole
front with success Notwithstanding the
handicap Of operating in difficult coun.
try.
tits reported also that the serbians
holding pari Of the Macedonia front
have checked the Bulgarians after In.
fiicting heavy losses on them.
