TRADING IN STOCKS.
Things a Man Must Know to Be Suo-
cessful Spectator.

cessful Specuiator.
"All those who are trading in the
stock market might well ask themselves
whether they are Spectators or gam
blers," says John K. Barnes in the
Worlds Work. "Any one can gamble
in stocks, but it is not profitable. 1t
takes a high degree of specialized
knowledge and training to speculate
Here are some of the complex require
ments of technical knowledge that are
Indispensable to the successful specula-
tor:
"He should know how to read the
business barometers. Among these are
the bank clearings throughout the coun-
try, which show the rapidity with which
money is changing hands through the
banks, and thus gives the best measure
we have of the business doing; the I'M
filled orders on the books Of the United
States Steel corporation, our largest in
dustrial company, which are reported
ten days after the close Of each month;
railroad gross earnings, which are now
reported weekly by some roads and
monthly by all, and railroad net earn
ings, which show the prosperity in that
important field; the production figures
for coal, iron, copper, etc.; the export
and import figures, which control our
international credit position and have
been of great Importance since the war
began; money rates and the elements
that affect them-gold imports, foreign
loans, etc., and probably, above all, he
SHOULD watch carefully the crop pros.
poets throughout the country.
Unless man understands the mean
ings of these things and has very
special and unusual temperament be-
sides he can never succeed as a spec
ulator."
In other words, the average man has
no chance in the speculative markets.

Tho Case of Pippkins Will Do to illus

my neighbor, Pippkins, has changed
his manner of vacation declares Ed
ward Hungerford in Everybody's. "In
other years his annual outing was
rather portentous, affair. The family
began to plan it some months in ad-
vance. There were railroad and
steamboat and hotel booklets on the
library table. When the time came
Mrs. Pippkins and the girls went to a
huge wooden hotel on the edge Of a
lake. They dressed three times day.
When Pippkins ran down on one sFri-
day of each fortnight he boarded
hot, dusty, oyercrowded train and rode
for five uncomfortable hours. They
insisted that he don Tuxedo each
evening for dinner. He used to won
der if the game was quite worth the
candle.
To-day there are no such doubts in
Pippkins' mind. He has car-so have
four-flfths Of the families in our quiet
street Pippkins caught the fever ear
ly in the game. Today he is veteran
and hardened motorist. He talks
earnestly and learnedly of gears and
Of transmission, and he is superlative-
ly critical Of every car except his own.
1 might write story upon how that
car and it's predecessors in the Pipp-
kins family have changed their very
soul, but this is not the time nor place.
Sufficient Is it to say that Pippkins is
now a motor expert. and, DR.. King
down at our corner says that Pippkins
has grown ten years younger.
Mrs. Pippkins and the girls have all
but forgotten when they have been on
a railroad train in summer. They live
in the family car !
Multiply Pippkins all the way
across the face of the land, and you
begin to have definite perception of

THE FORWARD LOOK.
Il 10 Never Too Late to Make a Fresh
Start In Life.

Start In Life.
Now and then man pauses to take
account of stock and looks back rue
fully over the course of his life to note
the many places where he made the
wrong turn or was showed off the track
by adverse circumstances. He says to
himself, believing what he says, that
if he could retrace his steps and take
a fresh start, knowing what he knows
of things again.
He can put his finger down on the
very spot in the map Of his life where
he went wrong. There was a blurred
place on the trail, where there was no
trace of the footprint of any who
passed that way and no mark Of the
woodlands ak upon tree. 1t was
for him alone to choose the way to
take, and in his haste and fever to
arrive he chose wrongly and has wan
dered ever since.
A man plays a game, or runs race,
or conducts a business, or marries a
wife, or chooses a friend, or elects a
calling, or forms a habit, and by and
by the conviction is borne in upon him,
like growth weighing on the brain,
that he was in error. Now it is too
late to retrieve. He must wear for the
remainder of his days the milestone
due to the wrong decision.
What is he to do? He strangled his
chance newborn. He exchanged his
birthright for pottage. It is Of no
avail to plead that he had bad advis-
ers, that he was misled, that he was
the tool Of environment, that base
heredity rose up to claim him and a
latent faint in the blood broke out and
wrought an irreparable mischief.
The past is there, and its legend is
deeply craven on his brow or scared
by the brand Of the iron that has en-
tered into his soul. Can he go back?
The years and the closed doors and
the finished chapters tell him no.
But the forward look and the futu-
rity provide him with a better way to
take. When Mrs. Peterkin, in the sto-
~, had spoiled her cup of coffee by
putting salt in it and was trying to
redeem the error by the neutralizing
action Of all sorts Of chemicals the
lady from Philadelphia suggested that
she make fresh cup. Seeing that you
can't go back, why not make a fresh
start exactly where you are? Decision
has miraculous way of finding a
standpoint of rock in the middle OF
quicksand.- philadelphia Ledger.

MANSARD'S ROOF.
BY It the Architect Won His Sons Life
From Louis XIV,

LOUIS NINs
The great hall of the Hotel de Vile
Of Aries, designed by Mansard, is the
wonder and admiration Of every one
who has seen it on account of the
groined roof.
In regard to this a neighboring cafe
tier tells somewhat grim story. King
Louis XIV. happened to be passing
through the city just at the time Man.
sard was experimenting the compile
ton of his creation. The roof was sup
ported by powerful pillar. The mon
arch admired the work and congratu-
lated the architect on his design. At
that moment the architect was passing
through great domestic tribulation. He
had a son under sentence Of death, so
he thought it would be good oppor-
tunity to intercede on behalf Of the
lad.
Mansard threw himself at the feet of
the king and said: "Your majesty sees
in the center that massive column? If
you will spare the life Of my son
will remove the unsightly pillar, and
the roof shall stand without support. "
"Mansard," replied the king, eff you
accomplish that miracle I will pardon
your son, but if you fail I will hang
you with him.
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is phi
losopher, and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man
sard's son been scamp the hall at
Aries would be just like any other hall.
