NORTH SHORE BREEZE II 
A Hicwu Cost 
A reduction of the New Haven’s 
dividend from eight to six per cent., 
would be of more than passing mom- 
ent to many who perhaps may be in- 
clined to take lightly the continued 
agitation of professional agitators. It 
would mean a loss for the stockholders 
of the New Haven amounting in the 
aggregate to $3,137,530. 
Were this loss to be widely distribu- 
ted over the country it is not likely 
that it would be felt appreciably by 
others than the actual holders of the 
stock. But, unlike the case of some 
other roads of equal importance, the 
stock of the New Haven is held with- 
in rather narrow geographical limits. 
Ninety per cent of its stockholders 
live in the four states of Massachu- 
setts, New York, Connecticut, and 
Rhode Island. Of the total loss in 
income which a reduced dividend rate 
would mean these States would have 
to bear, $2,823,770. 
' Concentrated within such narrow 
confines such curtailment of spending 
money could not help but be felt by 
the community at large. Less money 
in the pocketbook means for the shop- 
keeper less taken into the till. Nearly 
three million dollars withheld from 
these States would mean a serious loss. 
And the holders of stock would not 
be only ones who would ruefully have 
to figure up in dollars and cents the 
cost of the agitator and his effect up- 
on railroad credit. The ledgers of the 
butcher and the grocer would show an 
account with him, too. And it would 
be on the wrong side. 
APPRECIATED BREVITY 
Doctor Abernathy, the famous 
Scotch surgeon, was a man of few 
words, but he once met his match—in 
a woman. She called at his office in 
Edinburgh one day and showed a 
hand badly inflamed and swollen, 
when the following dialogue, opened 
by the doctor, took place: 
“Burn?” 
“Bruise.” 
“Poultice.” 
The next day the woman called a- 
gain, and the dialogue was as follows: 
“Better ?” 
“Worse.” 
“More poultice.” 
Two days later the woman made 
another call, and this conversation 
occurred : 
“Better?” 
“Well. Fee?” 
“Nothing.” exclaimed the doctor. 
“Most sensible woman I ever met.”—
