Where Canes Are Popular.

There is probably no countrysin the
world where the use of walking sticks
Is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries
cane, not only in the towns and cities
but also in the country; apd, in addt
tion, there is large demand for walk
Ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively in the country and at sea
side resorts, but not to a great extent
In the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the wealth,
er is often very unsettled, so that the
use Of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture of umbrellas and

QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man Will
Be Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride Of
fullness or regret of bitter poverty;
what is ours-we who also have had
our year? AS the old phrase has 1t,
What fruits have we brought forth?
Man is not bound to the seasons as
titled land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul In when autumn comes;
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more of patience,
humility and courage; to see to it that
evil loses and that good is strength
ened In the unending. conflict of those
forces. For the souls harvest home
It Is either tares or wheat; there is no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
Of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest is infinity and
eternally more important than that
which he wrests from the f1eld.-Col-
lier's.

Ii has been said that there is room
for just so much in the human brain
end If ones ability is as highly spe-
Cialized as an inventors, there is no
chance of being capable in business
affairs. Certainly, this has been borne
out in the case of most inventors.
Those servants of civilization have,
almost without exception, faced finan-
cial difficulties of the most disheart-
ealing character. Only few were for
tanatd in connecting up with men Of
business ability who relieved them OF
fnancial responsibilities.
Watt, the inventor Of the steam en-.
glne. was so situated. When he start
ed his experiments he was the pos
SCISSOR of a prosperous instrument
making business, employing sixteen
Wen. He soon became greatly in debt
snd formed partnership with Doc
tor Roebuck, who agreed to pay $5,-
coo of his debts, provide money for
further experiments and secure pat
ent. In return for these advances he
became two-thirds owner. After the
two had achieved partial success Doc
tor Roebuck suffered financial re-
verses. He was forced to transfer his
Interest to Matthew BOulton, famous
Nerchant of Birmingham, to whom he
was In debt. Boulton was just the
sort of business genius Watt required.
tie built factory for the manufac-
ture of steam engines and financial
difficulties hampered Watt no more.
Edison, on the other hand, early In
bis career refused an offer for part
ger. Although he has built up large
fortune he has frequently lost prac-
tically everything he possessed and
been forced to start all over again.
His business methods" were some
times impractical in the extreme Once
Edison was offered 100000 for an

An unusual opportunity, 1t seemed,
was being offered to him. A New York

the letter. Thousands of investors

The letter was quite reassuring. "No

Il was stated. Had Mr.. Jones looked

first machine, people heard of the won
derful invention and broke into his
house. They carried away the model
and soon dozen similar machines
were in use. This was before Whit
ney could obtain patent. He worked
night and day to produce another
model so that he could go to Wash
ingtOn and patent it, but he was handi-
capped for lack of funds. At length
the patent was secured and then two
years of struggle elapsed before Whit
ney succeeded in proving the superb
ority of his machine over the imita-
tiOnS.
In 1895 he returned from the South
to New Haven, where his factory was
located, only to find that it had burned
down. All his machines and papers
were destroyed. In answer to his let
ter apprising Miller what had occurred
the latter replied, II will devote all
my time, all my thoughts, all my exer-
tions and all the money / can earn or
borrow to encompass and complete
the business we have undertaken"
Whitney set to work to replace his
factory. He had great difficulty in
securing the necessary capital. To
add to his difficulties, certain manu-
facturer in England stated that the
product Of the machine was unsatis-
factory. Whitney wrote to Miller.
"The extreme embarrassments which
have been for long time accumulat-
ing upon me have now become so great
that it will be impossible for me to
struggle against them many days
longer"
He was still forced to fight In the
courts because of infringements. Law
suits went against him.
At last Whitney succeeded in sell
ing rights of his machine to the state
of South Carolina for $4,000. He re-
peated this in North Carolina and Ten
nessee But then when success
seemed within his grasp, South Caro-
lima attempted to recind its action and
announced it would not pay the $780,
600 and tried to have the money al
ready advanced to Whitney returned.
Affairs were at the darkest point in
Whitney's long struggle. Just as he
was about to give up, South Carolina
thought better of it's decision and paid

letter to the envelope and decided he
would go over it again that night.
In the quiet of his home he argued
the matter out. In the letter 1t was
stated that Smith & Brown courted
the most rigid investigation and sug-
gested that prospective clients inquire
of Gum & Bradburn, commercial
agency. as TO their standing. Mr..
Jones decided such would be a rea-
sonable test, and accordingly wrote a
letter to Gum & Bradburn, asking for
complete information regarding the
firm of brokers. The reply was very
favorable. "Smith & Brown are re-
sponsible and have ample capital. We
recommend them without qualifica-
tion," said the report.
Mr.. Jones sent 500 to become a
member of the syndicate.
The days that followed were full OF
anxiety for him. How was the venture
progressing? When would he receive
the letter apprising him of the out
come?
The news came In an unexpected
manner. 1T was in the metropolitan
newspaper he received weekly. He
read:
ANOTHER MARKET SwINDLE
sands from wouid-be SPECTATORS and de-
camp.
The thing he feared had happened
to him. He was swindledi
A week or so later letter came to
him from the Society for Protection of
Investors. 1t stated that If he had had
any unfortunate dealings with the un-
scrupulous investment houses they, a
society formed purely for protective
purposes, would look into his case and
see what could be done. But Mr.. Jones
had become wary through his expert
ence with Gum & Bradburn, deciding
that he would stick to business and
not mix in with high finance. In this
he was very wise, for the Society for
Protection of Investors was in reality
backed by the owners of the defunct
Smith & Brown. It's purpose was to
direct Mr., Jones to their newest ven
ture. And the Gum & Bradburn COM
mercial agency was also backed by the
renowned Jim Smith and his nefarious
associates for a purpose that is readily
apparent.
Such. in brief, is the composite ex-
perience of thousands who trust them
selves to the doubtful mercies of firms
in the same category Of Smith &
Brown. Their appeal is subtle and
often blinds the shrewdest.
How can you discriminate between
the legitimate and illegitimate invest
ment banker? First, beware of the
financial house that offers stock that
will on a specified date sell for a
higher price, or where extravagant div
idends are guaranteed, or where stock
is sold way below par and a large
commission paid to agents. These are
generally the earmarks of the offerings
of an unscrupulous house and should
be Stunned. Second, inquire at your
local bank as to the standing of the
firm with which you propose dealing.
