Show The Woman Would Speculate. Among the stories told of the recent flurry in Wall street is this: An army officer stationed in the Philippines has been sending home his salary to his wife to save. She sought to add to it by taking a flyer in Wall street. She had invested every dollar of her husband's savings and in the recent panic all was swept away. She appealed ap-pealed to Henry Clews, with whose firm she had dealt: "If I show you the way to get your money back will j you promise me that you will not speculate again?" asked the broker. "Indeed I will," tearfully assented the woman. "Well, here's your money; now keep off the market." Clews said afterward that he had not invested the money. A broker who listened to the story laughed. "Well, there's one on Clews. That woman brought the money right over to my office and asked me to buy Delaware and Hudson Hud-son for it. I did so and she made $5,400." Utica Press. |
