each of these frauds checks investment in

The secretary of the congress has issued
circular, in which he says:
1.-The fabulous profits made in mining

successful channels, by which the mineral
production may be largely increased and

A Change of Opinion.

"Oh helpless femninity!
So spoke the man of learning great.
g Ills her appointed lot to be
For aye in a submissive state!'
Oh how some circumstance so small
Can change the views we held before.
Those words he FASTENED to recall,
One day in a department store.
He saw her sweep with queenly grace
And proudly elevated nose
While he stood covering in a place
Where none might tread upon his toes
When on finance her mind was bent
Her fortitude was finely strange.
Like Patience on a monument
Shed wait an hour for ? cents change.
She called each fabric by its name.
The words to him were worse than Greek
He hung his head for very shame
And cried in accents mild and meek:
1.-The views with which this trip began
Perhaps were quite correct of yore.
But twas before progressive man
Invented the department store!'
