bility of inarkthng new trust securities
in considerable amounts
Il is cla'med that the gold could not
have been shipped except at a very
considerable loss, and there is therefore
much speculation as to why it wat
J
shipped. The bank making the ship
ment was the m e that handled the
money with which Spain was paid for
’ the Philippine Islands, and, as it is
managed by exceptionally shrewd
men, it is but natural that there should
be a desire to know why the gold was
shipped at a lose if, in fact, it was
shipped at a loss. One theory advanced
is that the bank wanted to depress
the prices of stocks by creating the
impression that there was a movement
of gold out of the country. If that
theory ia correct the purpose sought
was not accomplished, but it is hardly
H reasonable that so great a bank would
1 engage in any such business
Trust securities are net popular with
investors because there is a well based
’ fear that the most of them will never
be worth as much as the public is asked
r to pay for them. It is believed that
6 pretty nearly all of the trusts are over
capitalized, and that very few of them
will ever pay dividends on their shares.
Anyway, tho public is inclined to wait
and see what the earning capacities of
i the trusts are.
, It is worth noticing that the banks
, are lighting rby of trust securities
> They don’t intend to be caught with
’ their vaults full of them at a lime
* when the value of such securities is
doubtful. Investors are taking their
| cue from the banks. They are well
! established and dividend-paying trusts
which of course have the confidence
of the public. The trusts to which ti e
public is giving a wide berth are the
great number of new ones which have
I been created within the last few weeks.
, Their securities amount to thousands
i of millions of dollars. Unless they
prove that they are dividend-earning,
their securities are likely to remain in
t the possession of the original owners.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1899.
A GRINDSTONE GARDEN
" j The Curious Fancy of an Oldtime Res
ident cf Storkville Centre, Vt.
r
1 A »j; gular ebar: cti r iu In.- way,’’
said Col. Calliper, “wns my old friend,
. Philander Kuobstaw, who formerly
y lived StorkvilD Center, Vt. Mr. Knob
staw was a man with a foudnete for
flowers and that sort of thing, and his
flower garden was one of th? pleascnt
e est sights in Stotkville Center; but it
r wag his griu dstone garden that most
g attracted attention, specially among
j strangers, who never failed to maivel
when they saw it.
g “Air Knobstaw had read, it s<emg,
9 in his early youth, the more or lees
j familiar paragraph about the tree that
g had grown up in the opening through
an old, discarded grindstone, and that
t bad at last tilled the opening and then
t lifted the grindstone clear of the
t ground, and 1 suppose li- must have
been kind of fascinated by this story,
I for when he had come into ; .issegsion
of bis property, after the death <4 his
! parents, which was when he w»s still
j quite a young man, be set about the
r cultivation of his gtindstotie garden
i promptly. He bought in the vi’iage a
t dozen grindstones of various sizes, and
r here and there, in a space that he de
voted to the purpose, he laid them
( down and planted saplings to grow tip
t and lif them.
I “Then he had years to wait, bn mil
so many as you might imagine, for be
. planted a variety of trees, including
. some quick growth, planting the
j thick-growth trees in the smallest
3 grindstones. And, as a matter of fact,
s the first tree began to lift its atone in
r about eigl.t years. This wasn’t a big
grindstone. It was really more like a
3 stone collar or roll! i arout.d this tree
, after the tree had grown up, but it
j was a giindtt nc, ami the tree was
, lifting it, and from the beginning Mr.
j Kuobstaw watched it with emlhss in
terest and unfailing care.'
. “And, as a matter of fact, they r.l]
, needed care, (or, as may be imagined,!
none of them lifted the stone nro-ied I
, them evenly and truly at first ; it
would have been a marvel if they had ;
j and Knobstak bad to watch out and
prop up this edge of one ami (he other
edge of another, and eo on around the
I grindstone garden ; but a the coursr'i
1 of time he had the fi li ity <4 seeing all I
the stones lifted clear of the ground,
and then by almost imperceptible, but
, to him delightful, d gnes, lie saw them
keep co, until they were sufficiently
[ high above the ; round to erve as
seats.
“Then Philander Kuowstaw let the
' public in—he h I ■> m time t- lime:
, admitted a few friends, and few folks |
■ bad looked over the fence —iml much I
• l the public Wondi red ; and Pnilandsr
’ j was gratified. In the course of time,
,I as the trees grew, thy lifted the grind
,-1 stones too high io servo as seats —then
I it was that the grl: -'-.u.m- cams
out on its tree, as I told you like a
’ stone collar, or luff; and they aii k-1
ed odd enough, up at difi’erei.t bight*,'
I ; six feet, eight fee', .-erne ten ;• et above I
1 j tho ground. In that slope the garden
' I was really more wonderful than < ver ;
r and wonderful it :emained fm a mog
r time ; a great curiosity—perhaps you
might eay, the great curiosity of Stork
villo Center.
“But whet) Philander died th? days
of the grindstone garden were num-*!
lb: rid. His descendant- Veter A in-:
i terested in that sort of gai ten, and
I they set about cutting down the trees
atom.e. But i: v■ - ■•on di-'ov<red
'hat these grindsL i- - . '• < v ; id
( ; growing on burdwm-d *H' - j - ’-nd . aiih
! tree filled the whole in tho -tone snug
I and full. Cut of!' with sufficient ngth
through the stone -erved admirably as
„ a spindle upon which to mount the
p grindstone to tin n it, when put to that
use. The practice with tl Knob
staw grindstones was to cut ofl the
wood,as I have indicated, and shave
e
the ends down a httie and put on each
end an iron or steel cap, these caj«
j prelecting the wood from wear and
grindstone turned
