(The Financial World.)

(Ihe FINANCIAL Word.)
With restless nights attending the investor in specu-
ative securities, the holder of Good Real Estate
Mortgages sleeps soundly in the conviction that his
security is aud always will remain sound and his inter-
terest generally paid promptly at maturity no matter
what the Fates of War may hold in store for the be-
ligerents
Particularly does the farm loan emphasize its supe-
ror worth during times of great financial upheaval
The best security on Garth is considered
the Garth itself.
The real estate mortgage represents the strictly
high grade approved seasoned security based on the
earth and its fullness; the kind that won't turn pale
and throw the investor into ft every time extra
out.
1t is based values of'land which are steadily en-
hancng, adding additional security from year to year.
At present the leading life insurance companies alone
own nearly $500 600 of farm mortgages and their
losses have been practically NIL whereas the shrnkage
of other investments have been very heavy during the
late years.

Tense OF these mountain villages was
left to only a few companies Of Rus
sian police armed with old black
powder rifles. The report that the
Turks We're advancing in force from
I the south, and had driven in some of
the Russian outposts. reached the
village in November. and this was the
first news that hostilities had begun.
The people in the smelter camp were
slow to realize the danger that sur
rounded them. and took no steps to
escape until the American manager
Of the company, II. r. White, was shot
one Sunday morning while on his way
from the camp to the mines. some
miles higher up in the mountains.
White was riding up the trail when
shot suddenly poured upon him from a
ridge across a ravine. Both he and
his horse were struck, and he fell
from the animal, wounae1 in the leg.
From noon until evening lie lay in the
shelter of the rock, sniped at every
time he showed his head At dusk, a
party, of which Trotter was a member,
ineaked up the traiI to effect his
iescue. They brought him down 10
camp. and then sent him to Batoum.
The following evening some Rus
sian soldiers, with battery of three
inch field guns moved up. They sta
toned two of the guns near the
smelter and four others lower down at
kura. Most of the non-combatants
OF the village left for Batoum, but a
small party of Americans and British
remained at camp. The situation was
not taken seriously, as the Turks were
thought to be only a small party OF
rlarauders.
The next morning when the two
Russian guns at the mine opened ur
at tho crest held by the Turks, the
Infantry which had been increased to
about 400 men at the mines. were
forced into their trenches by the hot
return fire. OF the Russians. only a
small band of cossacks carried mod
crn guns, the reservists having only
single shot pieces. The mountain
