another class ever pushing out and
occupying fields where the conserya-

entertain a thought OF entering.
The Trans Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha may DC characterized as unqual.

though, where there are chances OF
great loss there are chances OF some
gain. This has proven true ia the case
OF the Omaha Exposition. The pro-
ieetors OF this infantile Worlds Fair
are rewarded beyond their most san
guine expectations. The balance sheet
shows the magnificent sum OF 800, 600 to
be distributed among the stockholders.
This Is an engaging thought TO enlist
the reflective ideas OF those who are
searching out other fields OF like un-
certain chances of financial rewards.
Financial success In this case Is a
small part Of the reward which awaits
these yenturesome spirits. The con-
