Holds B. r. 7. Bonds

Question: have s2.1Oo invested in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit per cent bonds,
purchased at seh and maturing in Janu-
ary, 1920. AS you know. interest periods
were passed several times before the date
OF maturity, but each time that asked
advice ! was told to keep the bonds If I
could afford to do SO. Do you advise me
to keep them until they are worth their
face value or to sell them at perhaps 90,
or do you think the company will meet
Its obligation (principal and interest) dur
Ing the next year or two Mrs c. o. S. H.
Answer--Improvemen in the earning
position of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company has been such as to give
some justification to the rumors that
dismissal of the receiver cannot be
long deferred. You have held your
bonds through most trying period, and
it does not seem logical that the in
vestment should be abandoned now that
the prospect of a resumption Of inter-
est payments has become SO bright.

be the better for me to buy--taking into

~. Also, please give me your opinion of
Western Maryland 4s on which have

Answer--Western Maryland 4s are
not OF as high grade as either
Canadian Northern Is, 1910, or Great
Northern rs, 1886. Canadian Northern
Is are callable at 102h in 1895, and
for this reason we would select for
your purpose one $500 Great Northern

investments are of high grade and we
approve of the suggested change.
Pays Toe MI ch for Stock
ouestion--T am. desirous of making q
idea of speculation. With this idea In
view a friend Of mine sold me Is shares
of preferred stock of the Fidelity Capital
Corporation of 2o9 Washington Street
Boston. Mass. along with shares of the
common. For these shares agreed to
pay $3.50. I am paying for this on q
monthly installment plan having already
paid S615 on account. In the agreement
1t meantions that the par value of the pre-
ferred stock is $50 share but does not
mention anything about the common, Be-
ing young professional man / am un-
familiar with such transactions and have
taken everything at my friends word
Would you kindly let me know IL this Is
should take and also, any information you
could secure concerning this company? I
would prefer that you do not publish this
letter in your column for obvious reasons
DIR. c. K. G..
Answer--It is unfortunate for you
that you should have friend with
so little investment knowledge or SO
anxious to obtain commission that
he would sell you stock Of the Fidelity
Capitol Corporation at $3.50 "unit"
when the same security can be obtained
in the unlisted market for $85 unit,
possibly less. At the price we quote,
your stock would realize $765 if it was
paid up and it will require the payment
by you of $735 to make the stock fully
paid. This company is in highly
speculative business and we never have
recommended purchase of its stock. AS
we cannot make any forecast as to the
future of business that is highly
speculative, you will have TO make your
own decision as to whether you should
discontinue further payments.

THE OPTINUST.

THE OPTIMIST.
The barren Gins sway to and fro,
The wind is shrewd and chill
And underneath the drifted snow
The seeds are sleeping still.
But on his perch above the gate,
Throughout the gloomy day,
The sparrow chatters 10 his mate
That spring is on the way.
There is no portent in the sky
OF brighter days TO come;
On leaden wings the crow sails by
The jay sits sour and glum.
But on his perch above the gate,
With hope eternal filed,
The sparrow chatters to his mate:
Let's find a place 10 build"
The ghostly trees. all bare and dead,
We pensively behold;
We know that March is still ahead,
With wind and snow and cold.
But on his perch above the gate
The sparrow firts his wing.
And chatters TO his little mate:
We'll. wen! Here's young Miss
Spring."
The sparrow hasn't any song
To charm our cares away;
He chatters. chatters. all day long
Upon his cheerful way.
With neither beauty nor with art
Was he by Nature blessed,
Yet what a brave and hoTeful
heart
Beats in that little breast.
