Owing to circumstances Unit I, seeiq
to have proved myself Inadequate to
control, I have become, as the lawyers
say, “seized’! of certain properties and
possessions that require management
and intelligent personal attention. I
feel, in the custodianship of these
things, as if I were a nervous woman
who had been presented with a den of
snakes or a roomful of mice to care
for. ’ ... ; ' v ,
I keep these various evidences of al
leged wealth in a long sheet-steel box
With a hasp over the, ehd, which is, in
turn, kept in a hole in the wall of a
steel-lined room; *• I ; cannot .get into
tliig pigeon hole without , The assist
ance'of a uniformed attendant who
comek and makes iriedicine with ft key
. that has’ a strong family- resemblance
to one I own. After he has-primed
the lock i can insert my own key
and the door flies accommodatingly
opfen. Then I haul out that box and
open it and look awestrickenly at its
contents.
Some of the handsomest of these
contents, that I admire mgst from a
wholly scenic standpoint' are,- I am
told, of least value, commercially. I
have, for example, some mining, stock.
I know It is good, tor I know a man
who went through the mine himself,
personally accompanied by’ the owner
and his daughter, and this friend of
mine saw the gold, just as plain as
could be. So at 10 cents, for each
hundred-dollar share, I bought fe
-thousand of 'them. Subsequent anxious
efforts on my part,to locate tiiat mine
and to find out anything complimen
tary about it have proved very dis
couraging indeed. And As .for ‘ divir
dends on Unit stock, pet'iod& have
passed with the most commendable
regularity. I have occupied the re
viewing stand While they passed; A
man to whom I showed the stock
laughed and said it was worthless.
But it was by believing a fellow' that
I was led originally to buy the stuff.
So I Will not believe anybody again.
I shall bang on to that stock. I feel
sure I shall.
However, far be it from me to raise
Ned about any of these stinglngs I
have been vouchsafed by the smooth
boys. When a fellow will pay $100 for
that much of that sort of stuff, he is
very badly in need of good sense, and
any price he may pay for'lt must not
be regarded an exorbitant. And jt is
well to be stung just enough in early
life by buying fake stock so, that one
Is, as it were,"vaticinated ,or Inocu
lated. It may save him hundreds or
thousands later on. So my worthless
stock is in some ways the best invest
ment I Lave. It not only was, but It
still Is, very dear, to me.-^-Sflriekland

Prehistoric Cemeteries.
Warren K. Moorehead, archeologist
of Phillips academy, Andover,. Mass.,
has unearthed three cemeteries, 52
skeletons; 23 funeral urns and count
less small art objects of ‘prehistoric
residents of that section in th| Caho-
kia mounds near East St. Lauls, Ill.
Professor Moorehead is doing research
work under the direction of the Uni
versity, of Illinois. .
ThlB discovery, tends to. substantiate
the theory that the mounds are of hu
man'construction rather than natural
Mils, it was said. At the base of one
mound a large altar was fopnd, and
Professor Moorehead explained it was
customary for the "mound builders”
. in other sections of the Mississippi
• valley to cover over the altars, after
they had served their usefulness, to
great' heights—hence the mounds.j
Indications ,of an effort to smelt
lead were found in one mound, the pro
fessor explained. A smelter of baked
clay, in the form of a semi-circle, was
discovered, and beside it chunks, of
lead; Near it was a vessel in the
shape of a modern chemist’s crucible.
