al Lostp Lincoln 2 Mvsterv.

An oil painting of Abraham Lincoln,
% by 81 inches in size, rescued seH-
eral years ago from pile of supposed
ly worthless furniture taken from the
old Red Lion inn in Philadelphia, to-
day forms a mystery over which there
is much discussion by artists. After
its rescue The picture was hung in a
Philadelphia residence where paint
er, Baruch NJ. Feldman, happened upon
il and purchased ii. He began the
work of reclaiming it,. and after tie
dirt had been removed the portrait
stood out. clear and well defined in all
Its features.
Artists who have seen the picture
are agreed that the character Of the
portrait is such that the suggestion
that it might have been painted frcm
photograph is rendered absurd. Who
painted the ''lOst" Lincoln is mys-
terry, and there is no mark or sign 10

A PAPER MILLIONAIRE
Man Who Knew the Ropes Talked
Common Sense.

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELock.
(Copgrignt. 1921, American Press League
Some years ago q young man Whc
had realized q profit on a small reaa
estate deal applied for advice to his
employer, a man of many millions who
was noted for taking chances on new
enterprises The young man was con-
sidering making an investment in the
stock of a company which was abons
to develop a mining claim.
Can Ycu Afford to Loser
"How much money have you sayedgv
asked the employer The amount was
stated. the total being but few hum
dred dollars.
Can you afford to lose it?" was
the next question. NO" the young
man replied; "it is all l have except
my salary
"Come with me-" the financler said.
lie led the young man to a vault ad-
joining the Office where accountants
and clerks were at work and pointed
to a pine box in corner.
Box Full of Disappointment
"That box is full of mining and oil
stock" he remarked. "It is the Ae-
emulation of about twenty-five years
of speculation and the par value OF
the stock aggregates several million
dollars. Of course, l did not buy IL
at its par value; some of it cost me
about what you are asked to pay for
the stock you are thinking of buying
and some of it less. If it is mining
stock you want, you can hire an ex-
press wagon to cart the box and its
contents to your home and you VIII
be a paper multimillionaire, for you
can have it if you will take it away.
my advice to you, however, is TO
keep out of mining and oil stock IN
vestments until you have accumulated
enough capital so that you can afford
to lose, for the chances are about 1O0
to that you will lose.
Go Slow and Play Safe.
Put your money in investment Sc
curities, bonds recommended by some
reliable bank trust company or finan-
cial house.
'The time will come, It always does.
when you will have an opportunity TO
invest in some business with which
you are familiar and in which you
will have something to say about the
arrangement. Keep your money where
you can control. it; don't give it to
strangers to play with.
II can afford to take chances, for
in the long run l am ahead of the
game, but you are not in my class and
should play SAFE"
The young man took his employers
advice and a few years later held
substantial financial interest In pros
