Among the famous Indian trad ers of the past was George Galphin, whose trading station at Silver Bluif, S. C, was frequented by In dians from far and near. In "Bench and Bar of South Carolina a char acteristic anecdote is related of Mr. Galphin and an Indian chief. Chief Mogoloch from beyond the Savannah river spent the night at Mr. Galphin's. In the morning the Indian said, "Me dream last night." "Ah!" said Galphin. "What did mv red brother dream ?" "Me dream you give me fine big rifle," in Galphin's possession at the time. The trader instantly passed the rifle to the chief, saying, "If you dreamed it, you must have it." - Next morning Galphin said to the chief, "I dreamed last night "What you dream r loch.

During the sermpn the farmer, ren dered diowsy bj the heat and the after efiucts of a heavy week's work, nods ami finalh falls asleep. His wife quietly reaches out for the whip in Mjc corner of the pew, picks it up ard gives him a regular deal er's cut across the ear with the lash, with a supremely funny tableau for sequel. That was what the critics declared ti be an impossible silua- i tion.

Unobliging Moon. As il' nitrating the care with which preparations should be made for night marches, Brigadier Gen eral Sir Henry Rawlins on, speaking at the l oyal United Service insti tution, sid thev should alwavs con sult an almanac and not be "sold," as on on? occasion in South Africa, when the force was directed to march at 9 :30 p. m., when the moon rose. The army waited in vain for the moon to rise, and some consid erable delay and confusion occurred when it was discovered that on that particuk-r night there was a total eclipse. London MaiL than that of Jamestown Government building and exhibit at Portland were valued at about I.S'oo.ooo, The government spent about $2,200,000 at Jamestown, The startling thing about the success of the Lewis and Clark exposition was tbe fact that it only had about 1,600,000 people within a radius of 500 miles trom which to draw attendance, where as Jamestown within a radius of 525 miles had about 39,000,000 Deonle. Also Portland ran for only four and a half months, while Tamestown was open for seven month?. Thus far rc one has Wen irjured From this point the operations of all mining companies should b scrutinized very clcsely before any money is paid out on tbeir stocks. Tbe means employed to finance the treasury corresponds to the chatacter and necessities of the promoter. Tbe first question for anyone with money to risk in a mining speculation is, wbe actually con trols tbe property and tbe cash? Ttose men should be most closely investigated.- Their regard for security of treasury funds ard its intelligent application to the le gitimate busijjessot exploring and opening the mining ground ought to be es sacred as the regard of a Bank President for tbe Bank's tunds. Not like some Presidents we have all heard oi lately, but like , tbe banker whom all trust and who prove faithful. - The , best of men frequently make tbe mistake ot inspiring hope that returns . will come quickly cn money invested in their stock. Persons believing them buy their stock, and when be time ccmes for tbe anticipa ted dividends, a partially devel oped' mice, with no pay ore. or net enough to work at a profit, stares them in the face and tbey are disappointed. At this point most stockholders get cold feet and re iuse to buy more stock or to encourage their friends to buy, ard" the property remains idle. Nethirg chills a -mine to death like stcck-holders with cold feet. Tbe trouble is tbey lock for divi dends too scon. When a legitimate mine oper ator, staits in to open a mire ne prepares to do so, just as carefully and vth, as much foresight as would a man planltngafr:Yp'ple' orchard. Tbe man with an or chard would not expect returns from his trees tor five or six years. Neither does tbe miDe operator expect any returns until be has opened and blocked out a body of ore of enough value, and large enough to present a tangible cash investment , or, at least, enough to enable an engineer to forecast the probable contents ot his vein.

There are other causes than over capitalization which tend to lower the opinion of the public inregaid to mining stocks Sometimes a company will be wrecked, even though possessed of valuable mining property Seme man has discovered good mining ground, be opens i; enough to attract attention, then a promoter locks him up and ob tains an option ; perhaps be pays $100 to bind the bargain fcr three or four moBths. The promoter then forms a corporation with one million shares of a pal value of $ 1 a sbare. He finds persons to buy enough of the stock to pa the miner who found tbe ground. The promoter and these persons take six-tenths of the stcck ano issue it, as paid upstctk, to them selves in payment for the mine. (It is now cel?ed a mine, although $ ico would usually be a big price tor all the work on it.) The property is deeded to the com part', and if tbe promoter is ex perienced, he will have the six tenths o. the stock pooled for si or twelve months. The remain ing four-tentbs of the stock h then placed in the treasury, and a stock-bcok with certificates hav ing green, red or yellow back aru gilt front is purchased, and th' company is leady for business.
