Three thousand dollars all told. Well, on the strength of this $200,000 shares were issued at five dollars per, and thousands upon thousands of shares were sold and the shareholders along with \u2018em, at four dollars a share. This was at the rate of over thirty-three hundred percent on the original investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Gardner Hill company came near makin\u2019 a million and a half profit on an investment of thirty thousand dollars, which was doing very well for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There was a Pole at that time in New York named Kowalski. He was a gentlemanly individual, and very clever in his line, possessed of two things which pretty often go or come together\u2013financial ability and a powerful imagination. He had some influential relatives, too, and altogether was just the man for the treasurer of a \u201cfancy\u201d minin\u2019 company. So he became just such a treasurer. For a while Kowalski and his mines flourished. The stocks did well, and Kowalski did better. But the big war clouds obscured the heavens; Lincoln was elected President, the South seceded, and the stocks Kowalski was interested in fell, and kept on fallin\u2019 till they reached zero, or thereabouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kowalski did all in the power of mortal man to keep up his stocks and himself. He displayed wonderful ability and Imagination, but neither could save him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So one day the able and imaginative treasure took a walk\u2013and never came back. He was always neat in his personal appearance. Well, the day he started out for his last walk he was dressed even neater than usual. But there was a wild somethin\u2019 in his eye which people remembered afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He wandered down to the river and looked at the waters a while and the shippin\u2019. Then he looked round for a convenient place to plunge himself in, and then he plunged himself in. He couldn&#8217;t or wouldn&#8217;t swim. So that was the last on earth of the able and imaginative treasurer, who was really a remarkable man. Somethin\u2019, on a smaller scale, like Ralston, of California, who afterwards committed suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/William_Chapman_Ralston.jpg?resize=330%2C456&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1741\" style=\"width:176px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/William_Chapman_Ralston.jpg?w=330&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/William_Chapman_Ralston.jpg?resize=217%2C300&amp;ssl=1 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">William Chapman Ralston<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By the by, three or four big minin\u2019 operators have killed \u2018emselves, and all of \u2018em, like Kowalski and Ralston\u2013by goin\u2019 into the water and drownin\u2019 \u2018emselves.

Powerful imaginations are not appreciated as they ought to be abroad. Still, as things go in this country, and are justified by public opinion, Fremont was not so much to blame. And, for that matter, jobs to which \u201cMariposa\u201d was innocence itself have been successfully \u201cfloated\u201d for awhile in London and Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Fremont_John_C.png?resize=217%2C241&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1742\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John C.

You must be very fond, indeed, of poetry, if you don&#8217;t find enough to suit you. One of the nicest poets in the country, E. C.
