A st. Louis capitalist who is inter-

in Idaho to supply the demand.
This will perhaps seem All exagger-
alton, but know that it is not. The
fact is, that nothing promises such
heavy returns on the investment as
mining, and no better field offers for
the employment of idle capital. A
few years ago capital ran wild over
railroad stocks, but most of the in.
vestors lost. Later on oil and natural
gas were the craze. During the pas,
year or so "corners" and trusts have
hecn the rage. In all these operations
the many lose, while the very few
realize millions. Mining is now like,,
to have it's turn. In mines a few per.
sons can act in concert, spend just as
much or as little as they wish. control
the property at all times, and, If they
happen to "strike it rich," realize
hundreds of dollars for every one in.
vested. If they wish to dispose OF
their shares, they can always find 9
cash market for them; If they wish tc
borrow money on them, they are &C
cepted as collateral up to SO and "
par cent. Of their value. Good mine
shares, therefore, rank among the
best Of investments.

II want a box;of the cheapest axle

Now that was certainly queer-look-
ing purchase for such an "ornery"-
looking fellow to be making. So the
druggist asked him kindly to come in
and look ut his samples when the wine
in them was red, and he soon had the
fallir, for such he was, making a con-
fession to him. And this was the

cents. shall sell the boxes and walls
when they are filed at % cents each
six dozen in all, equal to Sl8. But
have material sufficient for twice that
number OF boxes and Walls, so that for
about 80 cents more, or about 81
in ALL, / shalt realize $50. Any
trouble TO soil? Mo- bit of it. | rare
ly stop AZ a fl'n-house that | fail to
sell one of each sometimes two, three
or half dozol; while at every village
