True Liberality.

The old man Jones was rubbing his bands and smiling all over as he met Brown, and the latter felt compelled to inquire: .. “Has your silver mine turned out a bonanza?” “Haven’t heard from it in over four weeks.” “You look as pleased as if you had a thousand tons of ore in sight. ” ■ - “Oh, no;- I’ve just been giving away $50,000 worth of stock.” “Not giving it away ?” “Yes, sir; didn’t cost the recipient a penny.” “Well, what kind of a way is that to run a silver mine?” “Oh, don’t you worry. Brown—not a bit. We’ve got to have some shares out in order to make an assessment, and, next week, we shall call for 70 cents on the dollar in order to meet the expenses of survey and machinery. Do not worry about me, Mr. Browq,”—Hh/Z Street News. A Massachusetts paper says of a recent fiTe that when the fire was first Been, “that building was too far gone to be saved, an 4 the other buildings were too near to be saved."
