man had carried that name away
from Chicago, together with the funds
of get-rich-quick concern known
as the Combination Investment COM
pany. The money, the man and the
name had disappeared between two
days of December, 1899. Harmon
was president of the Combination In
vestment company, and, as such, prob
| ably assumed that he had a right to
the assets. He tried to get them ali,
but a lucky accident saved the cred
itors per cent. as shown by the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Tribune of
March 7, 1901:
Creditors Get Per Cent.
ga final dividend making total of
8 per cent has been declared among the
creditors of the Combination Invest
ment company, an alleged "get rich
quick" concern, against which proceed
ings in bankruptcy were begun in the
United States district court several
months ago. The claims of more than
1900 creditors amount to close to $780,

Hammond, alias the Coe Commission
company, sits in the New York Life
building, Minneapolis, Mimi, and, with
the aid of numerous accessories (every
one of whom has an avaricious eye
constantly fixed on the 'bank-rolp), he
hurls defiance in the face of decency
and casts his lines out daily for fresh
catch of Suckers who contribute their
mite to the 'bank-roll' which must be
replenisned each day in order that Min
neapolis and the great northwest may
continue to enjoy the society Of the
'eminent ex-president Of the Com
bination Investment company Of Chi
cago.
The Collapse Was Prophesied.
But there is a turn in the tide of
every bucketshop's life which cannot
be checked and which leads on to ruin,
and it comes when the accretfons to
the 'bank-roll' fail to equal or exceed
the excessive and varying demands of
the keepers accessories. Let us
watch and wait George J. Hammond
of Minneapolis, is the same gentleman,
a little emboldened by the success of
his heartless enterprise and his i'm
munity from punishment, who less
than four years ago shook the dust of
Chicago from his feet, with the bank
rolf of the Combination Investment
company in his inside pocket"

When Peggy Pokes the Fire.

When Peggy pokes the kitchen fire
 She makes a picture fair; l finger till I miss my car
 To see her working there She takes the poker half way up,
 Perhaps a little higher, Falls on her knees before the range
 And starts to poke the fire. Her slender arms are fair to see,
 Barred to her elbows white; Her graceful movements as she jabs
 Just fill me with delight. Left handed? Oh but what of that?
 l never could quite tire Of seeing Peggy on her knees
 While poking at the fire. What tho the coal comes tumbling down And one side all goes out; She says man can't poke fire,
 She knows what she's about. And so she pokes and jabs away,
 While I can but admire The warlke picture she presents
 While poking at the fire. often wish to move away
 Upon a better street, Where Peggy could attain the set
 She always yearned to meet. But one thing ever holds me back
 From promenading higher; Poor Peg would find gas ranges there, And couldn't poke the fire. New York News.

Brusher Is We'll Paid.

A woman who appealed to a charit- able society for help one day last week said her son was able to assist her if he would.
 "He is the brusher, and has charge of the bootblack chair in hotel. He makes between $50 and $40 week" !"
 An agent was sent out to investi- gate and found the son employed in one of the big hotels of the city, where he has been for six years.
 This young man told the agent that the position of brusher in a large ho- tel was worth at least S30 week, al- though there is no salary attached to it. if young man attended to his business. Hotel patrons are liberal tippers. The brusher is expected to find seats for customers if the bar ber's chairs are filed and to hand around the morning and illustrated pa pers.-Chicago Tribune.

CLINICS TO SUPERSTITION.
Indian Will Not Shed Peculiar Be1iefs
 of His Fathers.

The American Indian has many deep-rooted superstitions that are lu. dicrous and amusing, but in this re- spect he is probably no worse than other savages of present and pristine tribes. In fact, all primitive peoples were nursed on superstition; and even in our own civilized age there are many intelligent Caucasians who enter tain extraordinary beliefs.
 The soothsayer, necromancer and seer are no longer plying their roman- esque vacations, but we still have the "second-sight" swindlers, the palmiSt, mind reader, doubleevil mediums, pseudo phrenologists and fortune tell CTS, whose thrifty prosperity goes to prove that the general public must still be highly credulous.
 Several years ago San Francisco newspaper made test of popular su- perstitiOn by placing high ladder di- rectly across the sidewalk in such a manner that the multitude could easily pass under it.
 Four out of every ten walked out in the street rather than pass beneath it.. An average of two out of the remain ing six walked under it, only through oversight, persuasion or after much consideration. Then, among the civil ized masses, we still have the old pin superstition. The barking of a dog near the home of sick person still presages to many the step of death. If black cat crosses our path by night there are many of us who will humble an imprecation of danger. And we nurse other equally ridiculous supersti- tions too numerous to mention.
 But the Indian, as an abstract exam pie of the genus homo, is composite character of paradoxical peculiarties, and his superstitions seem to be direct ly innate. He is at once noble and base, shrewd, cunning and ignorant, inspired with profound veneration for all which he cannot fathom, and yet grossly superstitious in his conception of things temporal. The natural the ogony of his heart is sometimes beau tiful, but from prehistoric time he has been hampered by these inborn fan. cieS.

Time and Books.

The economy of saving time Is wise, but there is an economy of spending time. In reading, especially, hurry Is most wasteful. Reading is the mak- ing of thoughts, of ideas, of pictures in the brain. All young photographers know how little is to be made out of an "under-eXposed plate," but do they understand that there may be such thing as an under-exposed brain? It takes time to make impressions on the mind If you read too. fast, either aloud or to yourself, or skim over your reading, the mind receives poor i'm. pressions or none at all.-St. Nicholas.
