A Valuable Fish,

Fishermen off the southern side of
the cape have been capturing sturgeon
and tossing them back because they
did not know what to do with the big
fish. Now they are shipping them to
market, having discovered that they
are worth 10 cents a pound, and are
considered better even than swordfish.
Sturgeon flesh is salmon color, and the
spawn, of which caviare is made, Is
special dainty. Specimens taken on
this coast have run from five to eight
feet in length, and the fish are taken
in strong nets. The fish weigh from
100 to 300 pounds.-Old Colony
Memorial.

BEAT WALL Street
THE REAL INVESTOR is THE MAN
WHO WINS.
Gambler May Make Money by Lucky
Chance, but He Loses in the End
Patience is Necessary
to Success.

The man with long vision wins in
Wall street. This means that the win
ner must be a student of values. He
must be familiar with the factors that
make for or against prosperity, for
Wall street is the barometer of trade
If the outlook is unfavorable to bust
ness, it will be reflected by declining
tendency in the stock market, and
when conditions favor prosperity they
will be forecast by a rise in the finan-
cial barometer.
have never known one who merely
'sgambled' in Wall street, that is, one
who bought and sold on the chance of
winning or losing. who was ever sue
cessful in the end, Jasper writes in
Leslie's. He might make money by
lucky chance, just as he would at
game of cards or throwing dice, but in
the end the odds were against him.
With very few exceptions l have
known of no one who invested in Wall
street securities with knowledge of
what he was buying who did not come
out with final profit. 1t takes long
headed, patient man to this, however,
and patience is not one of the redeem
ing virtues of the American people.
Some observant financiers, including
one of the ablest in the country, the
Honorable A. Barton Hepburn of New
York, think that they see slight halt
in the wave of prosperity that we have
been enjoying by reason of the war
abroad. They fear a marked but tenn
porary subsistence of this wave on the
conclusion of peace, which may not be
far off. Observers also think that in
some lines of business promotion of
new securities has been overdone and
that the mass of 'indigestible secur-
ities," as the late J. p. Morgan called
them, may prove to be drug upon the
market.
| note that English papers are in
clined to believe that peace may come
suddenly and unexpectedly, though not
in the near future. Many who recall
the bitterness of the contest abroad
believe that it will prolong the strug-
gle for two or three years to come,
OF at least uuIll Tie TeSOuICeS VI ooliS
of the contending parties are more
nearly exhausted. A breakdown in
Austria is first looked for.
The greatest prosperity factor, out
side of the crop situation, so far as
this country is concerned is the presi-
Dental election. 1t does not escape
observation that as election day APP
proaches, the leaders of both political
parties are expressing greater inter-
est in the consideration of business.
The voters are making up their minds
as to which party can best be depend
ed upon for the constructive legisla-
ton that our industries and railways
require. Everybody wants prosperity
and every thoughtful voter will be on
the side of the candidate who promises
to help prosperity.
AS the campaign proceeds and as the
utterances of the presidential candi-
dates are heard and weighed, the judg-
ment of the public will be formed
and as soon as it becomes apparent
that this judgment will be in favor
of a candidate distinctly representing
a constructive policy, the stock mar
ket and business generally will reflect
this sentiment.

"School Days" at the Walnut

While actually as old as it's title, "School
DAYS at the Walnut is presented with
so many clever changes and minor clab-
oratons that the attraCtiveness and pleas
ing qualities of the three-act musical COM
edy are beyond question. Herman Tim
berg, who was the star when the piece was
produced in vaudeville, is still the star of
the production, and his clever violin
playing last night completely won the
audience.
The violin parts in which he played
several duets with Hattie Darling earned
well-earned applause, The violin dancing
act of Miss Dat ling was particularly well
received coming as 1t did just after her
sudden metamorphosis from the part of
Nonnie the girl pickpocket and street
waif, to a clever and accomplished musi-
clan.
The entire three acts are laid I'm and
around the schoolroOm. The settings
are attractive and the song numbers are
of the the tingling kind which always
call forth an encore. Mr.. Timberg, as
Izzy Levi, just over from Russia, is
"A delightful character throughout. Other
leading parts are effectively portrayed by
Wilfred Derrick, Morris Lloyd, Lily Dean
Hart, win Stuart and Jack Ferries, who
as an Italian boy gave several character
songs in fine style.
