’IRobert W. Whittaker. for many

" e. and postmaster of that city

In a certain part of Alabama. a
colored pastor had, made himself
extremely unpopular with his con-

was at its height. the time for the
annual election of. preachers came
around. Thew reverend called his
flock together: ‘9
“Bretheren and sistern." said he.
“all who wants me for their pastor
for another year will please say I."
No one wished him back. so con-
sequentiy there was a 'deathelike
silence. However. the pastor was
not dauntcd. He waited for a mo-
ment and then cried:
“Ah, ha, silence gibs consent. I'sc

CHAPTER 101.
Michael noted. with some amuse-
ment, that Lilah went up . and
changed into another and prettier
dress before Manning arrived.
‘Shé was rewarded. When the
‘ «president had shaken hands con-
ventionally with Michael. he turned
to Lilah. beaming :
"Well. well. well! And how is
the little bride? I'm positive that
you’re getting prettier all
time. And such .a pretty dress.
Mrs. Manning is very anxious to
have you two come over some eve-
ning."
"You must pay us a visit first.
We're ‘At Home' now,iyou know,"
she replied.
“That's right. We
will." .
Lilah excused herself, under-
standing woll that she was not; in-
tended to be present. Michael took
Manning up to his room, so be him-

the fireplace. '
“Well. Michael. how .‘is married

Michael had been “’iltcllilig Man-

thing of the man's power. The
president. it was easy to see. was
confident of the success of his
plans. and he appeared prepared
to drive them through by plain

this confidence and power.
You’ll have to give me time to
think it: over.” he said. It was all

idea that Manning wanted him to

Unnecessary Won-f;
By oaonoa tr. HUGHES.
(Copyright. 1926.)
More than once in this series I
have warned against the undue op-
timism which leads untrained inves-
tors to buy speculative and mi-
spccuiative securities on. the prom—
ise of high returns. Now and then
however. I meet a man who leans
too far the other way. Instead of
being over-optimistic he is over-
pessimistic nud’ worries over secur-
ities when there is no occasion for
it.
Suclf a one came into my office
the other day alarmed over his
holdings of mortgage certificates
secured on New York City real es-
tate and returning him 5%
per cent. lilo investment was guar-
anteed by one of thostrongest la-
stitutlons in America. Still. he want-
ed to know what would happen
should there be a collapse in real
estate values. I think I reassured
him and he went away reliel'ed.
[This was an exceptional case. but
it serves to iiiuslrute the point that
all lnvestlilcnt no matter how con-
servative docs imply some measure
of risk. Nothing “is absolutely
stable. There is no such thing as
absolute safety. Even the savings
bank has to invest the funds you
entrust to its care ,in securities
which not only fluctuate. in market
price that vary in investment rating.
Through their ability to diversify
their holdings and due to their long
experience in these matters the sav-
ings banks are able to reduce the
risk to a minimum. The fact 'that
they are not able to eliminate it on-
tirely is no reason for distrust in
savings banks. ‘
In the same way there is no rea-
son for refusing- to buy sound bonds
simply because in the progress of
human affairs social and economic
changes alter the position of indus-
tries. Revolutions of,this kind do
not come suddenly or without warn-
ing. It is just as much a mistake
to jump to the conclusion that the
radio is going to abolish the tele-
phone as it is to rush in and buy
radio stocks of all kinds because. of
the apparently limitless possibilities
of this wonderful new invention.
You should remember too that great
industrial corporations are .‘orten
able to .‘ljust themselves to fundas
mentally changed conditions. One
of the largest and most successfut
motor car manufacturing companies
was once in the wagon making busi~
ness. It's progress was not halted
when the automobile replaced the
buggI'. I do not say that'there is
no danger along thls‘llne. I only
insist that it is greatly exagger.
