INVESTING MONEY.

JUDGE Lands, of Chicago, whose
term on the Federal bench has been,
notable for its strict enforce
ment of the law, recently attacked the
public's method of blindly buying
stocks especially in ventures they
knew nothing of. His attitude is that
the buyer should investigate the
proposition fully before ~heinvests
and suggests that it is better to buy
from those you know and An whose
proposition you can ascertain the
facts than to buy blind)y. His re-
marks follow:
I'VE have had a perfect avalanche
of stock swindling schemes in the
past two years. In Missouri alone
last year this fraud totaled $4,000, 900.
They have taken the money Of women
who saved it and invested it in Lib
erty bonds, inspired by the high mo-
tive Of patriotism. Then n of these
vultures would come along and tell
her that her bonds had deprecated

nay only A per cent interest. He
would hold out a most alluring plo-
ftlre of 16 per cent interest and par
value bonds and the would be
taken in She would exchange her
government certificate for a coupon

soldsat Paris to the Clarks, with
whom he lived until he was freed.
When the Civil War broke out,
George Joined the Union army, be-
cause, he said, he liked all the brass
buttons that there was on the uni
form. He hauled hay to General
Grants regiment when it was camp
ed in Mexico. At Chickamaugua he
saw in a prison camp there, Israel
Fruit, who had been his young master
before the war. George said he was
so glad to see him, that it did not
matter to him whether or not he was
on the other side.
Lafayette county had 6,374 slaves,
the largest number in the state, and
was seconded by Howard County
which had 1886. Harrison had TWEEN
ty-fve, the smallest number in the
slave-holding counties.
In 1860, it was the river counties
which had the largest number of
slaves. Half of the slaves owned in
the state lived in the river counties
especially in those counties bordering
on the Missouri River. The slaves in
Missouri represented many millions
of dollars, and when the slaves were
freed, men who were once wealthy
became poor.

OF Negros Who
Lived In Missouri AS
Slaves Are Now Dead
In 1860, Audrain County Had 327 Slave Holders And
1865 Slaves, A Large Number of Which Lived
in Mexico: George Clark, Janitor at North
Trust Company Is One Of The Few
Remaining
Remaining

1t used to be that scarcely a week
passed that some Missouri paper did
not mention the death of some aged
negro, who had been a slave. In the
last few years, most all the old neg
roes have died, and there are very few
left who we're slaves and remember
the days Of the Civil War.
In 1860 in Audrain County, there
were 1927 slave holders and 1,166
slaves. And in Missouri, there were
114,632 slaves, owned by 24,320 cit
liens, in the ia counties. Douglas
County on the southwest slope of the
Ozarks, was the only county without
slaves, and had the second largest
majority of any county in Missouri at
that time.
Among the few negroes left in Mex
leo, who were slaves, is George Clark,
who is now janitor at the North Mis-
souri, Trust Company. George is
about rs years old, and has been free
Sirce he vas twenty-one years old.
Unlike the idea some poole have that
the negroes were unhappy as slaves,
George said he spent his ~happiest days
during the period of slavery. He first
belonged to Enoch Fruit, a preacher,
who lived near Santa Fe. When he
was about eleven years old, he was

''The Red Terror WAS the subject of 3
sermon at the North Baptist Church last
night by William l.. Pettinqll- He
said the world WAS suffering for want of
leaders, and that the people of Russia,
Germany, Austria and many other coun-
tries, without leadership, were great red
mobs, and would eventually ruin them
selves and the rest of the world unless
something happened to remedy the situa-
tion soon. He believed the remedy would
be the second coming of Christ, which be
believes might be very soon.
The speaker interpreted Nebuchad-
nezzars dream Of the image with head
of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly
and thighs of brass, legs of iron, toes part
iron and part clay as a prediction of the
passing Of the empires of the world. The
head of gold represented the absolute
monarchy of Babylon, the silver the limit
ed monarchy of Medo-Persia, the brass
the monarchy of Greece, the legs Of iron
Rome and the toes of part iron and clay
