POOR MANS CHANCE.

1t is being said in many Eastern
Journals and not few Western ones
hat the day of the poor man in min
Ing is gone by; that no one but big
corporation can succeed in mining any
more; that it takes big capital to do
anything; that most Of the good min
ng propositions are controlled by
trusts or millionaires and that there
s no longer opportunity for a man
With little money. This is all a mis-
take. The day of the poor" mining
man. was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most Of the good
mines are owned by trusts or million
aires is heard most often, but there is
east in that of any Of the pessimistic
Itterances. One hears of the big mill
1onaire owners more than he does of
The thousands of substantial COM
Danies that go right on with little
iotoriety, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, it may be justly said in an
Bwer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with a
little money, that never in the worlds
n mining for the man with a little
money than in the west half Of Amer
ca today. Are you interested?
Send for our Booklet, it will cost
you nothing and will aid you in max

FOR COMMUNITY OF INTEREST.
The Chicago Machinists and Metal
Workers May Adopt 1t.

The community of interest plan is
being taken up by the International
Association of Machinists and the
United Metal Workers, which come
close together in the 500 machine
shops in Chicago.
The ''handy man." who is common
IN shops of the smaller size, formed a
bone of contention between the organ
lzations. He was able to work as a
machinist or as metal worker, as the
conditions demanded, and his dual
capacity led to disputes over jurisdic-
ton.
An agreement has been ratified in
the Chicago district, which takes in
all the territory within a radius of %
miles from the city hall, whereby the
two unions now plan to take in every
man employed in a machine shop, no
matter what his work.
The new plan will do away with
friction which has seriously embar-
raised contractors. On several occa-
sions the differences between the two
unions have resulted in costly delay to
buildings as well as strikes in machine
shops.

REASON FOR THANKFuLNEss.
Case of Young Mon Who Lost Arm BY
Premature Explosion.

"The first serious accident cose
ever had" said an old surgeon, one oi
a party of men sitting around and tell
ing of odd things they had encounter
ed in life, twas that Of young MAJ
who had lost an arm-his right arm Il
was, too by the premature explosion
of a blast.
''He was likely young chap and
took a notion to him personally, to say
nothing of the interest I felt in him
as my first important case, and I felt
a deep sympathy for him.
Somehow, he didn't have himself
the downhearteddnes that you might
reasonably expect of a man who had
suffered his loss; but, on the contrary,
he was really cheerful over it; and
this I didn't understand. And / said
to him one day that thought he was
pretty plucky sort of man to looA
at things as he did, considering that
it was his right arm, too.
why, that he said, is one OF the
reoeeming features of the whole bust
ness. Suppose had lost my left?
'What?' said I.
Why, says the man, I'm left hand
ed! Where would have been now II
I had lost my left arm? I'd have been
up the stump then sure enough
$50, to be sure, as between the two
it was lucky for him to lose his right
arm; and still it seemed and odd rgs9

WHAT FOOTBALL REALLY IS.
Dine Who Appears to Know Says 1t Is
Mostly Pluck.
Colorado Springs,

When a human catapult, in leather
lelmets and dirt-smeared canvas suits,
springs suddenly up with terrific mo-
nentum at you through hole in the
dne, you grit your teeth and dive in to
stop it. If you bring down your man
you can jump back to your place be-
hind the line, with the bleachers rat
ling, and feel that you have done
what was expected of you. But If you
missed your tackle, and merely stop
ped the avalanche by rolling under it,
you limp back 20 your position with
lust as many bruises and with the
coaches yelling rotten" at you. After
two steaming, aching twenty-five min
ate halves of this sort of thing you go
back in your special car" to the gym
and get a call-down from the trainer.
That's football. It's pluck mostly.
Without that no amount Of mere brute
muscle is worth anything at allies
