 When I had explained my needs to banker and told him candidly my position, what had accomplished and what was en- deavoring to do, he introduced me personally to the head of well known firm of invest ment bankers, and, have every reason to believe, said very good word for me. At any rate, with that firm I made my first in- vestment outside of savings bank.
 The investments the firm bought for mo with the small amount felt I could use for that purpose, were sold during the year at slight advance, after 1 had participated in two dividend payments. The proceeds were immediately invested and sold at small profit before the end of the year. With such small profits was content. They augmented my capital without particular risk to myself, and the transactions de- veloped side of my nature that had never come to the front before Through them think I became more cautious and l am sure that my judgment upon other matters be- came sounder.
 Thus the months sped by. When I com- menced the fifth year of my service, I found that had every reason to be satisfied and that there was no danger of my falling back

JOYS OF WINTER

In winter one looks forward to
sumner and anticipates hearing the
birds sing in many a meadow or
thicket But the coolest days are
not without their special contribu-
tion to the observer of nature s
moods If one desires to see some
thing new, no special time or place
is required One might prefer the
summer as to time, and the east or
the coast or the south or the South
Sea Islands as to place; but that is
not a matter of supreme impor-
lance. Naturt asserts herself every
where and always. A man had bet
ter take Emerson's advice and "slt
at home with might and main, and
not suffer himself to be bullied by
kings or empires" or might add
by particular places or climates.
The bare branches of trees,
against a background of changing
sky are living works of futurist art.
Such picture is not the same two
minutes in a day. The color of the
branches varies from black to the
shade of robins bill. Their is such
variety in this living work of art
that one may see in it all the
moods of the seven ages of man.
l believe that if nature could
speak she would say, Il detest the
people who say they love nature
Nature abhors labels as much as va
Gums, and she is constantly though
silently erasingthem. Each separate
tree or sunset should be treated as
a new and different individual and
given special attention.
