just entering upon period OF unpre-
cedented prosperity. Then when we
have faith in the country we should
display the courage necessary to cause
us to wake up and go to work. If you
have property that you desire to sell,
do not sell it now, but go to work and
improve it. Tear down those old rot
ten fences and build new; put a new
roof on the old barn; build shed for
your stock slash the weeds and poor
shrubbery-in short, get your place in
shape to sell and then make the pur-
chaser pay for the Improvements you
have made. If you have your place
in good shape don't be afraid to ask a
fair price. 1t will be worth it and
the intending purchaser will gladly
pay it. Don't sell your land now,
wait until next year and in the mean
time make few hundred dollars by
improving it.

Another "get rich quick" concern
has busted in Chicago. Suckerdom
has again been badly hit; hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars. 1t is repeti-
tion OF the old story of people who en-
trust their mon ey to somebody prom
Using per cent interest every week.
In spite of all that has been said,
written and heard, about confidence
games OF this kind, there are still
many poor, credulous fools who fall
victims to them. The present era,
with its wild craze for speculation, is
particularly productive OF swindling
schemes. The papers are full of adj
vertisements of persons and companies
who pledge themselves to make others
rich on the payment of small sum
OF money; who declare to have special
information about certain speculative
deals, or certain infallible methods OF
getting rich in no time. That these
advertisements are generously re-
sponded to cannot be doubted. The
bait of quick, large gains is too strong
for uniformed human cupidity. Peo-
pie who can be begniled by such
schemes do not reason. If they did,
they would not invest. They would
know that it is impossible to pay 200
or 300 per cent on any investment
Any intelligent man ought to know
that high interest rates and safety Of
investment cannot go together. One
excludes the other. II anybody prom
ises to pay ten dollars on one hundred
dollars every week, he may be safely
put down as a rascal or as an idiot.
The average confidence man can cas-
lily be detected. His methods are al
ways the same. They uniformly con-
sist in pay of big profits on small
sum within short time. And he will
flourish as long as there are people
with legerdemain notions about the
use and production of money.
