Two Thousand Men Looking for Gold

There are at this time scattered
through the mountains of California
two thousand prospectors. Their lives
are spent in looking for signs Of gold.
They are poor, and their dress proclaims
it. They live on hope and scanty food,
and never refuse to "tRke something" Z"
Pick in hand, their sharp eyes are quick
to spy 4 speck Of gold in the fragment
of quartz turned up. The country is
covered with their little trial shafts and
with stakes marking their pre-emption
claims, always 1900 feet along .he sup.
posed outcrop Of the vein. Of 1000 so
marked perhaps one or two may amount
TO something, and one in 1000 of these
adventurers. after life Of privations,
may succeed in realizing small COM
potency. But they average happier
lives than most people. They imagine
themselves prospective millionaires. A
bit of quartz with three specks of gold
seen through q magnifying glass sets
them wild. There's millions in it. But
their gypsy life and it's happier excite
ment unfit them for quiet enjoyment.
In age some give il up and go back to
the wilderness and to the excitement OF
prospecting adventure. San Francisco

Have your card in the hotel register
by oil means. Strangers stopping at the
hotels for night generally buy cigar
or two before they leave town, and they
need some inspiriting literary food be-
sides.
If an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in fancy frame at
the depot, pay him about 200 per cent.
more than il is worth, and let him put
it there. When q man has three-quAr-
ters of second in which to catch q
train, he invariably stops to read depot
advertisements, and your card might
take his eye.
OF course the street thermometer
dodge is excellent. When o man Is
fingers and ears are freezing, or he is
pulling and "phewing NJ the heat, is
tho time above all others when no reads

Print in the blackest ink q great

and if the ink rubs or and spoils some
Of their inery, no matter. They never
will stop at your store again.
Don't fail TO advertise in every circus

The man must make living.
But don't think Of advertising in a

Not for moment. Your advertisement

of the region, whore the farmer, the

and into the families Of tho wealthy and
