Heinz on map. Hon. Mr. Sir This thoroughfare, Wall Street, must be magnificent place for some persons to enjoy. My Cousin Nogi explain how about that avenue. “That is very rich place for gilding,” he response, “each sidewalk there is paved with gold money[38] which broker gentlemen do not care for. Stock exchange and many banking establishments there are constructed solidly of gold-brick.” [38] “Nogi,” I relate, “you often know something. Thank you to answer 5 questions which I have prepared upon letter-paper for reply.” “Relate such troubles to some editors,” say Nogi taking derby to go call on Miss Mabel Sanjijo which he is engaged to marry when divorced. Therefore I supply those 5 questions about Financial trouble for you to look at, Mr. Sir: 1. When Stocks makes upstart motion why do it act so rather than stand stationary? 2. When Stocks makes downstart movement, what for is the reason and what would stop it? 3. Some gentlemen is called “broker”—what does he break to get such names? 4. When money is lost in Wall St. can this be recovered by advertising in newspaper? 5. Can you give Japanese Boy name and address of some honourable gentleman who might tell accurately what time some stocks will be making upstart movement soon? Why do bank-houses burst? That is more easy answer than those questions about Wall St. jumping of stocks. Banks burst because there is nothing inside and pressure from outside causes cave in of walls. Why is there nothing in[39] banks when so bursted? Because persons makes runnings on these banks in order to take outside what is inside. Maybe one man have $1,000 in this bank-house. He go around to that place to see if these money is comfortable there. [39] “Is my thousand dollar remaining comfortable in this deposit?” he require of Hon. Pay-Teller. “Yes, please,” respond this Financier, “all such moneys is right deposited where put.” “Thanks to know, Mr. Banker,” retort American gentleman. “If you please, permit me to carry it from places to places in my pocket which I have.”
