REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
ZEAL ESTATE MORTGAGES
BUILDING PERMITS
q o q

The same conditions that have been
characteristic of the entire season of
1904 prevailed during the last week:
the history of the first week of the sea-
son was again repeated. The amount
of business transacted by dealers was
generally unsatisfactory and, as stated
in these columns last Sunday, no great
improvement is looked for until we'll
into the fall
The number of real estate transfers
recorded for the week exceeded by
twelve the number for the preceding
week. while the amount fell a trif1e-
less than $1,000. The principal fea-
lures of the week were: Axel H. Carl
son ct ux to Salvation Army, property
on Payne avenue, consideration $4,000;
HOratio G.. Wood ct ux to Oscar L.
Taylor, Terrace Park property, for

q y y
While there were fewer building per-
mits issued, by three, last week than
for the previous week, there was
goodly increase in amount, due to two
permits of unusual size. Among the
noteworthy were: To John III. Stevens,
for a tWo-story frame dwelling on Au-
rora avenue, near Rice street, to cost
$4,000, G. & A. w. Engquist, two-story
frame dwelling to be erected on Mar

When You Are Broke.
[Pittsburg Gazette.l

Few men who rise to wealth or to
positions such that they have appoint
ments at their disposal are without a
number of friends who, having less
backbone, or being of the proverbially
unIucky class, look to the more sue
cessful for frequent rescue from dis
astsr.
Al certain Pittsburger who has made
more than little money by thrift and
foresight, is no exception to the rule.
He has a friend who has many dreams.
But all Of them turn out baseless. A
mong this friends weaknesses is
playing the ponies" and he has more
systems of doing the boolsies than any
one else in the city. The fact that
the ibookies keep right on in the bus
mess does not seem to discourage him
entirely.
Each time he goes broke it is his
habit to call on his rich friend and
make touch, explaining that he has
new PLAN which will enable him to
repay all he has borrowed" and have
something left besides.
Not very long ago he went to this
friends office and explained that he
WAS on lne INSIDE OIL the races at Hol
Springs, and IL he could secure 500
was sure of making it increase at an
alarming gait. He secured the $500,
and departed for, the health Mecca.
Three days later, on Saturday after
noon, came telegram saying:
II am broke. How shall act?"
The prosperous friend took until
Monday morning to think out the APP
propriate answer. Then he wired:
s'Act as If you were broke"
