Illinois Steel Works.

We are in receipt of a handsome
little brochure sent by the Illinois
Steel company of Chicago, one Of the
largest manufacturing enterprises OF
the world, which through its rela-
tions with the VermiliOn iron COM
panies is an object Of especial inter-

entitled, illinois Steel company
and contains a complete description
of the various works Of the concern,
in addition to much valuable inform

interesting not only TO people inter-

Don't be IN q Rush,

There are many things now being
offered to the person who has a few
idle dollars in the way Of mining
shares. Some are in our own state,
more are from outside. The investor
will do well to give little heed to
the claims of those who are seeking
his money before he accepts without
qualification all they have to offer.
One would not buy farm Or horse,
or even a pair Of shoes without in
specting them, and still people rush
blindly into mining speculations,
knowing nothing Of the conditions or
the chances for success Or failure.
Few stop To learn how many shares
the company possesses, how much the
debt of the mine is, or what its real
merit is. They figure that the stock
will boom anyhow for a short time.
and they will unload upon some poor.
unsuspecting pilgrim before the
slump comes. This isn't very safe
plan to follow, a. often the top is not
so far away as one figures. These are
inviting times in the stock market,
dut it will be well to exercise little
common sense in making deals.
There are many legitimate mining
concerns that pay fine returns for the
cost of their shares, and there are
many others that no one of moderate
means should risk gambling with

from the second story Of a building

over the wall and glancing downward
he discovered a respectable citizen
with his silk hat TANNED over his

bent posture. The mason, in tones Of
apprensilion, inquired: did that
brick hit anyone down there??'' The
citizen, with difficulty extricated
himself from the eXtinguisher into
which his hat had been converted, re-
piled, with considerable wrath: "Yes
