CONVERTIBLE BOND
!. ISSUESARE ACTIVE
Remainder of List Dull at
Short SesSion-German
Group Heavy.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 24.-There was
not much in today's short session Of the
bond market except the further rise in
O limited number Of convertible bonds.
OF these the largest gain was in the
International Telephone AIS. which
rushed up 10 points soon after the
opening. representing a total advance
within six months of l08 points. Amer
lean Telephone Alps were also dealt IN
on a large scale. and with the stock
reaching $500 share the bonds made
further progress selling 100 points above
the figure at which they came on the
board in June.
Atchison convertible AIS, Commercial
Investment Trust 5i2s and Kreuger q
Toll IS were steady American I. G.
Chemical 5las and Allegheny Corpora
ton IS hung back from the rest of the
speculative market.
Changes IN the straight mortgage and
debenture issues were slight. Hudson
& Manhattan advanced a point, with
good buying in them in sympathy with
the recent rise in the stocks. North
American Cement 612S were heavy. due
to the cutting of prices in the cement
industry. Fisk Rubber IS dropped
below 80.
In the foreign list Germans were
heavy. The Agricultural Bank IS drop
ped a point. The delay in reaching an
agreement at The Hague is adding to
the encouragement which holders OF
dollar bonds of continental borrowers
feel over the action of their invest
ments in the past year. United States
Government issues showed some i'm
provement but more on account of the
technical condition of this market than
to any change in money. for rates are
still too high to warrant a movement
in low income producing securities.

NEW YORK, August 24.-After
very light trade the first hour, during
which hedging from the South carried
prices off 10 points, the cotton market

of relief in the Southwest, the Weather
Bureau predicted little change until

Once the famous Illinois circuit rider
and evangelist, Peter Cartwright, re-
buked in no uncertain way the son OF a
militia major who had disturbed his
meeting.
The father challenged the preacher
to a duel Cartwright had the choice
of weapons. "Cornstalks," he said. Even
the angry father had to laugh and for
get.
To be successful preacher in those
days a man had to think and act quick
ly. Early in the nineteenth century
the Middle West was still the coun-
try's frontier. Rude, rough citizerlS
fond of drinking and fighting, did every
thing to make the lives of ministers
miserable. ,-,

At a Tennessee campmeeting, bois-

They rode their horses right up to the

young mems leader tried to ride him
down. Cartwright tore him from his
saddle stampeded the horses, held his
victim for trial and $50 fine, and was
bothered no more in that locality.

HISTORIC QUICK THINKERS
Peter Cartwright Spreading Gospel in West Needed Ready

Methodist horse thief" said one, I'll

Cartwright stepped up. I'm Cart
wright" he said Now either you Wnlp
me as you threaten. or you stop cufsns
me-else I will put you in the river
and baptize YOU in the name OF the
devil"
One look at the wrathful preacher
was enough. The man took PACK all
he had said. Not long afterwarc Cart
wright converted" him.
Cartwright was elected to the Leg1Sla-
ture. incidentally stunts like TINS, OUT
side the pulpit, helped wonderfully IN
STRENGTHENING his position in the pulpit
A young clergyman of another de-
nomination spoke Greek during con-
troversey to confound him. Cartwright
promptly replied in German, language
strange to every one present. his
antagonist surrendered.
Only once did Cartwright get the
worst of verbal encounter in his cam
paign for Congress. During the cam
paign, he held revival in Springfield.
One night, after he had invited sinners
to come to the mourners' bench, he
saw his rival for Office standing in the
rear. He called out, We'll sir, if you
are not going to repent and go to
Heaven, where are you going?"
His rival, tall. ungainly young man,
replied calmly: I'm going to Congress,
Brother Cartwright"
The tall young man was Abraham
Lincoln and he was right.

masters that course of study. Another

Insuring Education.

How can you assure your infant son
of a college education some 20 years
hence? BY saving money now, of
course, but what method of saving will
you select? Insurance is one of the
best ways, since if death should over
take you before sons college days
materialize, he will still be assured OF
an education.
Just how much of a policy need one
take out? A 20-year endowment policy
for $4,000 is the minimum and should
meet most of the expenses of col
lege life It will at least make it pos
sible for son to attend college by do
ing a little extra work
The cost of the insurance will de-
pend upon whether you or your hus-
band take it out, and upon your re-
Spective ages. AS a means of economy
it is better thaat your husband take out
the Education policy" The rate is
likely to be lower on him than on you
1t should be remembered that you
will wish the policy to mature at the
proper time so procrastination won't
do.
While a $4,000 policy will meet the
minimum expenses of college edu-
cation at most state universities today
| it is also true that the cost of such an
education may rise in 20 years. In

It is also true that many OF US viii

Why provide for this eventuality
