Suppose you have caught the fever and have screwed up enough coup- ase to take a crack at the stock mar- ket, you know very little about it but that doesn't matter, get aboard any- way. All you have to do is to tell your broker to buy something and in some mysterious way he buys it for you. Where does he buy it? Don't know, but he gets it somewhere.

So you breeze into Whoozit Bros. and Co., who have a. branch office in our town. Queer place, a. broker's office. Lot of noise and smoke, peo- ple sitting around talking and read- ing. Others just. sitting. Nobody seems to be actually working. Won- der what a broker thinks about? You spot a. young fellow leaning ’ ‘ the counter, looks as though he be- longs here. Might be‘ one of the Finally you say to hlm-“Ih —I say, buy me 100 shares of East- ern Godgets, will you?" and George wrltm out the order, thanks you for ii; and tosses itto another chap. And so far as you are concerned, that's all there is to that.

But, wait a minute! What have you clone? What happens now? How's he going to get ‘those shares for you? That stock is on the New York Exchange, and you are here in Ottawa. You have the‘ confirma- tion of the order in less than ten minutes after you put it in. How

did they do it? ‘What took place

in those few minutes.

This is what happened; you have set in motion one of the most com- pllcated pieces of machinery you ever saw. Never thought of that. did you? You started something when you gave that -buying order. George wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to a. telegraph oper- ator. The operator is sitting at the end of a. private wire _that runs through Whoozit Bros. Montreal office right into s. broker's office in New York. The operator here taps out your order and it is picked up by a. man in Montreal and another m New York. ' The chip m New York shoots it to another fellow who repeats it over the phone to a lad on the floor of the stock exchange. He in turn hands it to his floor trader who roars like a bull for your hun- dred shares. Another floor trader roars back at him. Click! sold to you at the market. Hurry! no time to waste here. Back comes the mes- sage over the same wires and its tap- ped out here that you have bought 100 shares Eastern Gadgets at 6'7 5-8. All in ten minutes, or less.

So you think that's all there is to it. eh? Not by several Jugs full. A whole army of people will handle that order in one form or another be- fore the day is over. It will find

r its way down countless channels and

create hundreds of bookkeeping en- tries, not only on Whoozit Bros. and the New York broker's books, but it ls recorded at the stock exchange and the transaction is sent out on the ticker. Also it involves the trans- fer oi a stock certificate‘ making sev- eral dozen entries on the books of the transfer company. Whewi that's a lot of work. ‘ '

And what's more. before it was bought for you another broker had to sell it. For every purchase there; must be a sale. So your purchase‘ is responsible for a flock of entries on the books of some other broker. All these entries are completed and the loose ends tied up by dozens of people, and you didn't know anything about it. See what you've done? On a normal day when three or four million shares are turned over.

' your order with thoilsands of simi-

lar orders are handled swiftly, sure- ly and efficiently by a trained army

working at full speed. But imagine. if you can. thelrenzled activity and tremendous , e of a seven mil- liomshare day. Imagine all the Illtomobiles and street cars in town trying to get past the comer of Bank and Sparks streets all at ones. A seven million share day creates a few nasty little traffic problems and, one day not so long ago the tickers were two hours late, but how many of you thought of the “traffic jams" that were responsible for it, and who straightened things out again. v That's how the brokers get that way.

Others are calm and dimmed Phil‘ osophic sonnets, “Comfort? “Out- look," “A Prayer," “Knowledge? "Deeds" and "November," but the best is "The Truth," possibly his fin- est sonnet:

"mend, though thy soul shall burn thee, yet be still. Thoughts were not meant for strife, nor tongues for swords. He that sees clear is gentlest of his

words, And that's not truth that hath the heart to. kill. The whole world's truth shall not one truth fulfil, Dull in our age, and passionate in youth, No mind of man hath found the perfect truth . Nor shalt thou find it; therefore, friend, be still.

"Watch and be still, nor harken to the’ fool,

wisest is he who never quite secure,

Changes his thoughts for better day by day:

To-morrow some new, light will shine,

\be sure, _

And thou shalt see thy thought an-

other way."

In 1893 a. Boston publishing house issued Lampmank now famous "Ly- rics of Earth," and in 1895 he was given the only honor that Canada can bestow upon a literary man, election as a. Fellow of the Royal Society of Can- ada. In the‘ autumn of 1896 he ac- companied u»... of his brothers-ln-law on a canoe i/rip in Northern Ontario. and injured his heart by heavy strain. For three years he lived on carefully,‘ in poor health, yet devoted to the last to his art. He died in Febuary, 1899, and was laid to rest in Beechwood Cemetery. His last sonnet, “Winter Uplands," written less than two weeks before his death, shows no diminution of his power and beauty of descrip- tion:

"T-‘he forest that stings like fire upon

my cheek, loneliness of this

ground

The long, white drift upon whose

powdered peak

I sit in the great silence as one bound;

The rippled sheet of snow where the

wlnd blew

Across the open fields for miles a-

head;

The far-off city towered and roofed in

blue,

A tender lino upon the western red;

The forsaken

appear, violet. dome,‘

So wonderful, so many, and so near, And then the golden moon to light me home-

The crunching snowshoes and the 1 stinging air,

And silence, frost, and beauty every- where."

That sonnet ls typical of the sin- cerity simplicity and strength mm was the poetry of Archibald Lamp- man. He was a steadfast idealist in his art, and good and worthy gentle- man in his life. His poetry was never to him the prerogative for licence, posture or extravanoe of any kind. He was on the other hand nothing of the unsmlling Puritan, but genial, natural and lovable. l-le was conventional. He spoke his mind freely and fully, and uponall things worthy of discussion. His manner was that of a. quiet re- ticent gentleman giving no hint of that burning, rapt idealism within him. His was a life of great devotion, to duty. to family, to country, and to poetry. Not groundlessly did Arthur Stringer call him Canada's greatest poet, whom it will be our privilege to l member and honor by the memorial at Morpeth.

In Memoriam

THE LATE MRS. 101m STEWART

The death of Mrs. John Stewart.

home in Georgetown on Friday, Jan- uary 25th, cast a cloud of sorrofv over the entire community.

Born at Murray Harbour, Mrs. Ste- wart moved ‘to Georgetown when but a child and through the many years

and friendly disposition she made a host of friends both young and old, who for many long years shall cher- lsh afresh the memory of one whom they were glad to know. .

The services at the house and grave were conducted .by the Rev. J. C. Martin. ‘The large funeral proces- sion bore striking testimony to the esteem 1n which-the late lVirs. Stew- art’ was held.

The hymns sung during the fun- oral service: The Lord is my Shep- herd, A Few More Years Shall Roll, Sale in the Arms of Jesus and When the Roll ls Called up Yonder, were selected by Mrs. Stewart Just prior to her death.

The pail bearers were, J. Howard McDonald, L. E. Morrlssey, Maurice Donovan, Capt. Falrchild, L. H. Doug- las and S; C. Knight.

Besides her son-owing husband there are left to mourn, one daught- er, Mrs. Chester Walker at home, two sons, Benjamin at home, Howard 1n Boston, Mass, and one brother, Rev. B. Glover, Klndersley, Sask.

Odds and Ends

Colored clothes should be washed before very soiled if their delicate

tints be retained. _

A little ammonia in the water

when washing very greasy dishes

takes a lot of unpleasantness from

the Job.

A paste of starch and water cov-

ered thickly over the bruised skin,’ will prevent the bruise from turning , black.

When cutting thin material that is

apt. to pull or cut irregularly, place

between sheets of thin paper and cut

all at once.

LETTER. or‘ counonsucs:

Therefore, we would commend you to the God of all com- fort and consolation, to the great Burden Bearer. the Man of Sorrows, who is acquainted with grief, hoping that in the beauty of His love you may 11nd a balm for your aching hearts.
