do know that the short interest de-

very dangerous This Is largely due
TO tho fact that spectators all over
tho country have been carried away

GENERAL BUSINESS
STILL ABOVE NORMAL

These spectacular cases illustrate
our point. but do not represent the
great LOSSES resulting from short SELL
ing. Millions OF dollars are endan-
gerrd today on tho short side OF the
present market, n growing accumu-
iauon that gets shaker as ~ piles
higher. A rise OF three 10 five points
would start the drive that would
practically wipe this interest out.
Moreover. fundamental conditions do
not indicate that business has gone
to pot Business is siiil good. Con-
di,ions are against the short sellers
and their chances TO win dwindle as
tho short interest grows
In fact. general business, as re.
Elected in the Babsonchari, Is siill

ciuded Babson. ''and will doubtless
continue into 1894. There is nothing
in one fundamental situation to in

NO LIMIT TO LOSS
ON SELLING SHORT

Multiply your own short position
by several thousand and the greatest
danger OF the practice Is apparent.
The short interest is very soon
larger than tho number OF shares OF
the given stock that are for sale.
Prices advance two or three points
and few OF tho shorts cannot put
up the increased margins Brokers

prices n bit, then there arc more
shorts that are forced 10 cover.
Tho market strengthens and bro
kers rush In 20 get tho securities
they must roturn--behold! there are
no more for sale. Prices skyrocket
and the spectators who were short
are wiped out. II is interesting to
note here that there Is no limit to
your losses on n short sale. IL you
buy stock at 30 you cannot possibly
lose more than 80 points. but IL you
sell Il short at 80 II mny 20 to 100
or 500, or even TO 1000, md you must
cover and stand the loss.

Something TO
Think AbOut
By F. II. WALKER
YOUR WORST ENEMY

TT YOU will make searching ana
4 an impartial investigation of the
matter, you will discover that your
worst enemy is right at your elbow,
seeking at crucial moments OF your
life to oppose your good efforts and
circumvent your cherished plans.
He is beside you in the morning
when the gray light of dawn heralds
the coming sun, biding an opportunity
to strike you in vital spot; he puts
his arm in yours as you hurry down
to the breakfast table, seeking to win
your confidence; he passes with you
through the street doorway as you
HE away to your daily vocation, and
il something has gone amiss in the
dining room, he snuggles up closely
and begins to whisper in your always
willing ear especially chosen words
Of sympathy, telling you how you are
imposed upon by others, to whom you
should resentfully reply.
BY the time you reach your desk,
your place behind the counter, your
chair before the typewriter, your
bench, or whatever estate you may
occupy in the tower of toll, you are
in a decidedly uncomfortable mood.
And you have only to look around
you to become irritable, quarrelsome
and obdurate at another nudge from
your Fostering enemy, who seems rea-
sonably sure that before the day is
over you will hurl out a volley OF
fiery vOcables, scowl at the manager,
which is becoming habit, and re-
turn to your home at night with an
ger, disguised with your intimates
and with yourself as well.
Nothing seems right. You are sure
that nobody can be trusted. You are
suspicious of manifest kindness and
unseltish intentions.
You are positive that those who
proffer them are scheming for some
terrible purpose, trying by friendly
overtures in pleasant words and of
fers of assistance, to take some mean
advantage of you.
And this is the madness that gen
orally leads to your undoing-the mad
ness that your worst eLeny, If per-
mitted to work upon your sensibili-
ties without restraint, invariably pro-
duceS.
If you will sit yourself down COM
posedly, at the end of a trying day,
and reflect seriously, you may with
but little difficulty guess who this enc
my is. If guessing should be too irk-
some, In the mood you are, raise your
eyes to the mirror across the room
and you will see in the polished glass
your own perturbed self-your worst

THE COMMON
RUN
By DOUGLAS MALLoCH

r CANNOT hope 10 shake your hand,
4 Friend Reader here and there,
And yet think we understand
Each other pretty fair:
You're just the common kind Ike me.
And | am just like you
We have our troubles two or (iTee,
And have our work to do.
We look on LIES old-fashioned ways,
Although W., are not old,
And think the truth Of early days
Good truth to which to hold:
There's nothing right on earth but
right,
And wrong is always wrong,
And black is black and white is white,
The same as all along.
We haven't read the latest proof
There isn't any Cod
We, narrow-mlnded, keep aloof
And stay on old sod.
We're ignorant Of cults and creeds,
And creeds that knock them fiat;
We judge Of people by their deeds,
And let 1t go at that.
We think that laughter beats a tear,
That bonestys the test;
We live the day, and thus the year,
And try to do our best.
We've had some grief, hurt or so,
But had a lot Of fun
l guess, If we could really know,
We're just the common run.
