LAWSON'S NEW FANCY.

Boston Copper Man Produces an Epigrammatic Calendar. ADVICE GIVES TO THE "LAMBS." Ceta l'p Odd Ticker Affair In Fnor Oa;a mm Ike Result of a Ce Seat II it Girt ta Friends Handsomely , Bfoaated la Silwer IMtfIIi of Speealkllaa Oncrlbed. . It is no longer the Lawson yacht or the Lawson carnation, tut the fawson ntotrrapb calendar. Friends of the Boston millionaire received copies of this literary production on Christmas day. and they declare that Mr. Lawson as a maker of calendars is a decided access. Each calendar Is handsomely mounted In silver and ornamented with devices which present a complete allegory of that whirlpool of speculation which tnreatened not many days ago to engulf the author. Emblazoned upon the flfty-two tablets, one for each -week of the year 1902. is a potpourri of wit and wisdom, humor, sarcasm and the philosophy of experience under the caption "Ticker Talk." Recent happenings on the Stock Exchange are referred to. and Mr. Lawson has introduced a prophecy concerning the future of certain securities which will be of interest to the finan cial world. Nothing more ornate than the Lawson calendar has thus far appeared. The tablets revolve upon silver rings, which In turn are supported by a silver bar about ten inches in length, beautifully decorated with mistletoe and holly in dull silver. Upon one end of the bar a bull is seen in a crouching attitude facing a bear at the other extremity. Above the bar and supporting It Is a ribbon of stiver, representing the tape of a stock ticker, and secured at the apex by a ring. In which are Interwoven a wishbone, a horseshoe and the proverbial lamb of Wall street. Upon the silver tai Mr. Lawson Inscribed this device in close Imitation of the lettering with which stockbrokers and others are familiar: "New York Stock Exchange. Dec. 31, 5902. A. C. P. (Amalgamated Copper). 300 130. 1)00 131. Vj, . . 132. 300 . 900 ; S. (American Sugar). 113; U. S. (presumably United States Steel), 13. V4. 13." In an author's note Mr. Lawson explains that he completed his calendar, which contains a maxim for each day of the coming year, in four days on a wager with a friend. The Introductory is as follows: When you read these "tickerlnga" and are tempted to bless the author, restrain yourself sufficiently to think how ha came to "tick them out. During the recent cjjpper rumpus, when. as every one knows, the ticner was doing Its best to drive Bostonlans Into that re gion controlled by the sulphur trust. SLSked one of my brokers, a philosophical kind of chap. what. In his opinion, would be the best way to coai the "ticker" away from the "coppers." He answered. "Between now and New Tear's make the ticker talk a something for every day In xne year. His thowght struck me as being so good that I said. "Why not, and print it as a calendar i-.-ul have it ready for Christmas?" Tli.- result was a wager that this could not lie accomplished during the "ticker V v, oi kins hours 1n the four days Intervening. Here It la on Christmas eve. with apologies of the "ticker" and the season's best wishes of yours very truly. Thomas W. Lawson. Mr. Lawson. In Introducing bis maxims for January, says there are three fundamentals of stock speculation. which he describes as follows: "First. Take what comes to you as though you liked it. Never for an In stant forget it's a game of chance, and. while It's free, no one Is compelled to come Into it. "Second. When yon lose, the other fellow wins, and be is as much entitled to as you. "Third. Don't rail against Wall street because it In time gets the entire stake through its commission. Wall street is the gamekeeper and referee. All interesting games must, will and do have them. Wall street was there fcefore yon were born and will be after yon are dead." In connection with the author's characterization of himself as the "ticker, these estracts from bis calendar are interesting In view of the battle royal which raged fiercely until the holidays between the contending forces in the copper Industry: Watl street 19 now the exact center of the universe. Run a shaft at "3 Broadway through the world and it will come out at the corner of Wall and Broad streets. If the shaft is made of United States steel and sufficient oil is used, the globe will perpetually revolve around it without friction perhaps." No. 2t3 Broadway Is the headquarters of the Standard Oil company. J. P. Morgan & Co-'a offices are at Wall and Broad streets. Id lighter vein Mr. Lawson describes the pitfalls of speculation. For each Af of the year he has produced an epigram. The whole makes ao LnteraTlng rnlnmp from whifli thMia ex tracts were chosen at random by a reporter for the New Tork Herald who "was permitted to Inspect the gift cal endar the other day: "On New Year's eve Father Time and the newborn cherub meet In Trinity church to make deliveries. The meeting place is an appropriate one. At tfce foot of Wall street is the river, at the bead Trinity's graveyard and in the middle the Stock Exchange. "How marvelous Is the tape. Too J)oM one end In yonr fingers: the other passes around and beyond the last lap of eternity. "The letters and figures used in the language of the tape are very few, yet

They are rare exceptions and when Ci", covered are dropped. "The ticker rests upon the Sabbath to bury its victims. "Panics fail alike upon the shorn and the to be shorn. "The tic!-r tirst aska, 'What do you think I'm going to say?" then says th opposite. "There are two kinds of pilots in Wall utreet waters the licensed and unlicensed. Kach is worse than the other. "When you are long and they're dropping, it's purgatory: when you are short and they're rising, it's hell. "A Wall street pilot is one who. tired of sinking his own craft, sinks others for salvage. "5Iost Wall street rumors have carefully prepared Itinerary. ""Nothing succeeds like success except inside information. "Wall street advice is free, and It is worth it. "The public brings its wealth to Wall street, and. owing to the frictlonless j working of the most perfect financial system in the world, it can at any time get back its equivalent in one form or another, usually another. "Kach day a million shares are bought and sold for the public. Wall street receives $2.10,000 In commissions, yet those who should know better say brokers are not producers. "Ofttimes a few yards of tape con tains more history than all of the volumes of a Macaulay or a Bancroft. "When you gamble in stocks. It Is you against the world one mind against millions. "There are many philosophers in Wall street, but they're all broke. "The ticker every day at quarter past 2 tells the victims the time. It appreciates that they had watches earlier in the game. "The ticker blasts more lives than rum and cards combined. "A swarm of bees visited the Stock Exchange, but were so ashamed of their inactivity that they left in a hurry. "Almost any good mathematical system can beat tlie ticker to a standstill before 10 and after 3. "If the garden of Eden had been In Wall street. Adam would never have got even a bite of the apple. "Aristotle must have been flirting with the tape when he said the world was made "up of two kinds of i?ople liars and liars. . "Tickery. tlckery. took. The lambs ran after stock: The stock it turned, and the lambs got burned. And now they're all In hock. "Almost all directors of modern trusts are yachtsmen. The reasontrusts capital affords mooring the yeat round. "A lie well told in Wall street is the truth. "One of the fundamental principles of modern finance and the one to which America owes much of its enormous wealth. "When a stock has advanced to prohibitive high figures, double the capitalization and repeat. "When Wall street holds a husking bee, insiders get ail the red ears. "A straddle Is a sort of half sister, mother-in-law bride one of those puz zling creatures who dou't know whether to go back to ma. elope with brother-in-law or settle down and be prim. "Hark. hark, the dogs do bark. The coppers are tumbling down: There are some with bags and lots with Jags, And they'll surely bust the town." Upon the frontispiece of the calendar appears this Inscription. "E & O M B O," which translated means "Errors and omissions must be overlooked." a variation of a device by which brokers la submitting statements of speculative accounts to clients limit their liability. POEM BY EDWIN ARNOLD. Ratification of the Itthmlii Canal Treaty tbe Theme. The London Telegraph printed a poem by Sir Edwin Arnold apropos of the ratification of the isthmian treaty. He depicts Balboa with the Spanish steel "red In his conquering hand" viewing the raeifle ocean and thanking the queen of heaven for tbe glorious guerdon.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor ana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it ts yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition cf the moneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same treat rrmr-Av The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
