A Close Calk
In 1907, tho year of, the panic. Union
l'uclfto having declined steadily from 183
to 130, looked cheap to ascertain trader,
llo bucked his opinion by the 'purchase
of 100 shares at the latter price, deposit
ing $1,000 with his broker as margin, tin
fortunately tho price, after a brief halt,
continued to decline, and more margin
had to bo deposited on several occasions
during its downward course. When it
reached 110 a notice was mailed' by the
broker asking for a further sum of $000.
Two days passed without response from
the customer. Then came the day of the
October panic when the rato for call
money roso to 200 per cent Quotations
fell by points at a time, and pande
monium reigned on the floors of the ex
changes. When Union Paclflo from 110
dropped 10 points Inside of flvo minutes,
the broker, to protect himself, hurriedly
scribbled a message to sell out the 100
shares. While In tho very act of handing
tho dispatch to 'his private wlro operator,
tho cashier appeared with a belated check
from tho trader, who had been out of
town when the Call was sent. The mes
sage was torn up, and when shortly after
Morgan came to tho rescue of the situa
tion by offering to loan 1100,000,000 at 6
per cent, the panic was stayed with a
resultant sharp recovery1 In prices. Some
months later when confidence had been
restored and a bull market again started,
this fortunate trader sold out at ICS,
clearing S3, K0 profit. And unless ho
should chance to read this article he will
never know that ten seconds was tho
margin by which be escaped a nearly
equal loss.

ness. a case in point. During the great
copper boom of 1898-9 a certain specu
lator was enabled to do a favor for a
well known copper magnate. The latter
In order to reciprocate the good turn
told his friend to buy all he could carry
of a certain low-priced copper stock, and
to hold It for a big advance. Accordingly
tho speculator, who had about $500 that
ho could spare, bought K0 shares at (2 a
share, and left It with his broker. The
tip proved to bo a good one. The stock
advanced and continued to do so until
It reached the neighborhood of 120. With
the shares In his broker's hands all paid
for and worth $5,000. he bought. 6c0 shares
more at this price, using his original
stock as margin. Still ths price appre
ciated, and under advice from the cop
per magnate he continued to add to his
line, until he had a clear profit on paper
of nearly $00,000 He had now pyramided
to a point where a sharp decline of a
few points would put all this gain In
'Jeopardy. Ills brokers advised him to
close the account, and "salt down" the
amount of his profits In solid Investment
stocks and bonds. -But laughingly he de
'lared, I'll get tlOJ.OOO or nothing." A
few days later canivj a sudden and un- J
expected setback m the copper share

called upon for more margin, lletng un
able to respond, he was forced to sell
out on a wewk and panicky market with
the result that his paper profits quickly
vanished. He saved a thousand dollar
or two out of tho wreck, which amount
also was subsequently Mt In a vain' at

V M Intake nml n Wludfn.lt.
Here la a curious Instance of n mistake
which turned out to be a windfall. An
old trader, noted for his absent-minded
spells, went Into a brokers offico on
fatate street one day not long ago and
hastily wrote on a blank form an order
to sell 100 Amalgamated Copper. He
handed It to tho order fclerk and, with
out waiting for the sale to be made, do
parted In haste. The stock was duly dis-.
posed of, and the salo duly reported to
him by mall at the close of business.
Next morning In runs the customer In a
flno rage. "What the deuce does this
mean?" ho shouted; "I left an order to
buy Amalgamated, not to sell It." "Kx-
cuse me a moment," replied tho clerk,
ana l u got your order." Ho rcturnod
at once with the "sell order blank" duly
macio out and signed by the now con
fused customer, who did-not know what
to say. Finally ho managed to blurt out,
a guess Its up to me this time. I'm
sorry I spoke so hastily." "That's all
right," said the Vjlcrk; "the market Is
away off this morning and you can buy
in tho stock at a profit." After watch
ing tho tape for a few moments ho gave
an order to cover. In. the sale, cleaning
up a neat profit of nearly $100 on the
transaction begun by error. An hour or
two later tho clerk who waited upon him
received a box of flno Imported cigars,
with the compliments of the lucky bun
gler.
Some years ago a young and unduly
optimistic member of the Boston Btock
exchange, as a result of speculating too
heavily on his personal account lost
nearly all his capital and was forced to
sell his membership on tho exchange
and go Into bankruptcy. When every
thing .was settled he found hlmxntr th

Atchison was emerging from Its long
period , of depression, and a scries of
lucky coups, and a course of pyramiding
profits, soon put the youthful .plunger
on the-sunny side of "Easy street," with
over $30,000 in accumulated profits to his
credit. Instend of converting these Into
pold.cash, ho foolishly let them stand.
His confidence in tho friendship of the
bucket shop keeper' was sadly misplaced.
One 'dJiy he resolved to close out every
thing to go to Chicago, where lie had a
large acquaintance, and start In 'business
for himself, Ho gaVo' orders to havo his
account made up and a check for balance
due him sent to Ms address. His friend
promised to do so at the close of the

Tho, next morning while-indulging in
pleasant thoughts of his good fortune,
as he enjoyed his breakfast, he received
the expected letter, There was no check

from Gorman deserters, who find the
strict discipline particularly Irksome, the
Cincinnati Knqulrer says. The foreign
legion might well be called "The Novel

writer of fiction In search of tho ptc

origin. In isai. and then most of tho of
ficers were French, whllo tho rank nnd

exiles Polos, Belgians, Italians, Germans,
Spaniards, and so on.
As at present constituted the legion has
a strength ot over 12,000 men, stooned
ot Sid l-bol -Abbes and Salda. Tho recruit

voluntary enlistment, and scrvlco la for

classes: A (tho forolgn legionaries) for

Frenchmen who enlist In the ordinary
