WALL STREET AND STOCKS.
How "Short Sellers" May Win by Buy
ina on a Falling Market.

ing on Falling Market.
There are two kinds of stock specula-
tors. One buys in the hope that he
may later sell at profit. If man
buys share of Steel at 100 and later
sells it at 11J he has made SIS, less the
brokers' small commission. 1t is clear
how money is made in a rising market.
How money is made in a falling mar
ket requires explanation. The process
of capitalizing disaster is known as
SELLING Short
A Spectator who is sure, either be-
cause of some inside knowledge or be-
cause Of his own reasoning, that stocks
will tumble, gives an order to his
broker to sci block of stock for him.
Let us use Central Leather as an ex-
ample. He has none of the stock. The
broker sends word to his representa-
tive on the floor of the exchange, aud
the sale is made. Central Leather is
sold at the market price, say, SO. In
the course of few hours the stock
which the seller did not have is deliv-
cred to the purchaser. The broker has
borrowed 1t from some owner Of the
stock. A small fee is paid to the owner
of the loaned shares. The man who
has sold short then watches for the in
fiuences which he expects will drive
the stock down. One or two days later
he reads that some great international
figure has made move for peace.
The stock drops on the news. No one
is willing to pay 500 a share for it. A
few are willing to pay 500. Our hero
who has sold short directs his broker
to buy enough shares to pay him in
kind for the shares borrowed. The
broker buys at 800. After the brokers'
fee is paid and the charge for the Dor
rowed stock is settled the Spectator
receives little less than So share as
a result of his short selling. He mere
ly sold at SO what he later bought for
80. He has no stock. He never had
any stock. He sold it before he
bought it.
The short seller is never an in
weston. He never buys to keep. He
never buys except to enable him to re-
turn what he has borrowed.-Uncle
Dudley. in the Boston Globe.

Why Stones Cannot Burn Like Coal.

Why Stones Cannot Burn Like GOAL
Stones cannot burn for the simple
reason that they are dead matter which
has burned out. When anything burns
it takes into it's system all the oxygen
of the air that it can combine with.
When it has done this it cannot be
burned any more. In burning any
substance changes its character.
The original element of most of the
rocks and stones we see was silicon,
and when that combines with oxygen
the result is form of rock, a concrete
substance. but unburnable.

THREE WORDS.

There are three words, the sweetest
words
In all of human speech,
More sweet than are all songs Of
birds
Or pages poets preach.
This life may be vale of tears,
A sad and dreary thing;
Three words and trouble disappears
And birds begin to sing
Three words and all the roEes bloom,
The sun begins to shine;
Three words will dissipate the gloom
And water turn to wine.
Three words will cheer the saddest
days,
Il love you?" Wrong, by heck!
1t is another sweeter phrase,
Enclosed find check!'

Is there a blacklist on State street?
One worker who was ousted from
jobs in Hillman's and the Boston

in the c. E. Freeman grocery at 418
w: North av. about the first of De-
cember had trusted an aged wom-
an with AZ cents worth of food, they
told me when they canned me.
81 admitted letting the old lady
have the stuff, but protested that
had trusted her before and they
didn't complain. They paid me off
and said had broken the rules of the
store.
81 was only getting SIS a week at
FTeeman's. But l missed that as
soon as it ceased coming in, SO after
trying several other groceries 1 went
down to Hillman's and they put me
to work right away at a wage Of $12
a week.
The job was cutting cheese in the
delcatessen department. Things
went fine for two weeks and they
seemed satisfied with me-
