A laborlng man is placed at a

of mining and other stocks. He
has not sufficient time to make
proper examinations before he in

he has of making stake" is by
investing part of his earnings in
stocks. But can any laboring man
afford to take the risk of losing his
money? Mr.. E, Il Kindred is Of
fering a small amount of stocks,
guaranteed by gold bonds. or other
securities, which are absolutely
safe to buy; you cannot lose your
money.

Carpenter has introduced concurrent
resolution providing for constitution
al convention. II made u party meas
ure It will win, as the Republicans

But the Democratic members of both

For this same reason some Of the Re-

hauled from the deposits where 1t was
dug. Pieces of the asphalt dropped
from the carts and were gradually
ground into the roadbed by the feet OF

that such roads soon presented hard

using asphalt on other roads was de-
