But what we never sce in the newspapers are accounts of the LARGE FORTUNES TIAT ARE LOST in the same place in the same length of time. The fact cannot be too strongly impressed upon «the minds of bate Wall street speculators that for every dollar gained in Wall street there is a dollar lost, and as the people’ who gain the dollars are alwaysgwell known old timers ii the business it follows clearly that THE PEOPLE WHO LOSE THE DOL- =LARS ARE THE NEWCOMERS. —It-often—happens,—too, that in an unguarded moment an old timer is ruined in Wall street, but it is always the other old timers who benefit by his collapse. ~The\ newcomers do not figure in the deal. “Experience” in Wall street co perience is of many years’ durati cliqte. No doubt the man ‘ho into Wall street speculation with $1,000,000 capital may, w great prudence, be able. to win $1,000,000 or $5,000,000 more after five or ten years. But be will lose from half to three-quarters of his original capital in acquiring the knowledge of “wire pulling” that will be necessary for him to be eee of before he can begin to be making regular, perthanent, ~ steadily increasing gains. Exceptions have been extremely rare and ., Were THE RESULT OF MERE QOHANCE. _ As a rule, however, for a person with less than $25,000 or even $50,000 to go into Wall street is sheer throwing away of money. I have seen thousands of men withcapitals larger than that go down, ‘with the loss of every dollar.

CYCLONE’'S STRANGE ANTICS sents calf awe Marriage Certificate Took Flight.at Chappaqua, N. Y. Besides the work of destruction done by the cyclone that recently swept over the Quaker settlement near Chappaqua, N. Y., it perpetrated any number of strange pranks, says the New York’ World. A marriage certificate, belong- ing to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cronk, w picked up at Seven Pines farm, two and a half miles east of the Quaker set- tlement, A large panel picture of Mrs, Cronk was found about a mile nearer the devastated valley. A large rug in the same house took a trip in just the opposite, direction and was found hang- ing on a fence at the roadsice about a mile up the side of Chappaqua moun- tala. A calf weighing about three bundred pounds was gathered up by the whirl- ing wind, hoisted. over a bigh board fence and deposifed about a hundred feet away in an adjoining meadow, A new ew that belonged to Charles Dodge .was whiskéd up into the air with itis\ riins of the barn in whic It stood and finally came to carth a quar- ter of aw mite to the ——r oct of harness that- hung within a Tew feet of the runabout was picked up in a field half a mile away ina dinmetri- cally opposite direction, Watren Tompkins” house was almost completely s\tept away.

The capacious chests of the merchants contain much that we would buy were our purses longer. Old embroideries of wonderful colors, dell- cate china, silks of many hues, swords piled beside us on the figor. It ig/but seldom that a really good specimen of the Damascus sword can be obtained, for the art of working and engraving steel is dead. These swords were made of alter- nate layers of iron. and steel, so finely tempered that the blade would bend to, the hilt without breaking, with an edge so keen that no coat of mail could resist it, and a surface so highly pol- ished that when a Moslem wished to rearrange his turban be used his sword for a looking glass. * In the Great Western Wheat Belt.
