Experience Teaches.

One OF our most respected and hnnored ci.!-
Gems has just had an experience IA building
which may be OF service to others
He wished to build a home not to exceed
$4,000 in cost He could afford that much but
no more. Accordingly he had his plans made
by an architect and contractor built mis-
house. The architect assured him that his
house would cost about the amount of money
he wished to spend. The GENTLEMAN knew
about the work OF the Seattle Truss Company.
He knew that they had the reputation of doing
the best work in the city, ard he knew that
when they gave price for house, il was
al ways delivered at that price. The only reason
he did not employ them to build was the idea
that he could build 1t little cheaper himself
His house has just bceu completed 1t has
cost him, instead of $4,000, nearly slS,oO0. Be-
sides he has spent much valuable time looking
after it which should have been given to his
business. A few days ago he called at the
offices Of the Seattle Trust Company and maze
the statement that he would have save. over
5000 on his house if he had givan them the
building OF 1t. Here is an experience which
has cost one man 10y his own stateneent) $1,000.
which might prove a good suggestion to those
who are thinking of building

The Latest Swindle.

Here is another very clear swindle
which is being practiced by sharpers
over the country. A man puts in an
appearance seeks the proprietor Of
the store, and informs him that he is
seeking for rare coins, passing him a
list of specimens and their alleged
value. He also asks the interested pro-
prietors to keep an eye out, and should
he get hold of any keep them for him.
Soon after another party strolls around
buys cigar or some other article, and
exhibits couple of coins with the re-
mark that they are pocket pieces. On
consulting his list the proprietor fin ds
they are marked $45 each. Here he
will see an opportunity for speculation,
and after dickering, the second party
sells him the pieces. Of course, numb
er one never shows up, and the coins
are worth no more than face value.
This is now being worked all over the
State,
