Are You Making Any
Money?

You ought to have made a whole lot
IN the last two months If you had been
put into the right stocks. The mar
ket has been very active and will con-
tinue to be so. You will notice that
every time there is a sharp reaction
il is only for q day or so, and then
prices go booming up again. That is
true OF all the good stocks. and 1t is
the only way we can have a good mar
ket TO make money in. See what you
could have done in Silver Pick If you
had taken my advice and bought it
at 25 cents. taken your profit at 35
cents. bought your stock back again
below 30 cents. sold out at so cents
again, then bought back at so cents
and sold at - cents, see the profit I
believe silver Pick is good buy on
every reaction. but the price is up now

money TO handle a few thousand
shares.

ing at 25 cents which can recommend
just as strongly as did Silver Pick
1t viii not be listed for a month or

CLERGYMAN SAYS HE
WAS OVERCHARGED
Rev. P. T. Fem of Wich-
tia Complains of Methods
of Local Transfer Men

Many complaints have been made by
travellers since the fire of the extor-
tionate charges made for handling bag
gage by some of the transfer men
meeting trains and boats In this city.
A letter from Rev. Percy T. Fem, rec
tor of St Johns Church, Wichita, Kan
sas, received yesterday at the Harbor
police station, is the latest protest
against the methods pursued by the
transfer fraternity.
Fem arrived here July 19 and was
met at the Southern Pacific depot by
a man who represented himself as an
agent for the International Transfer
Company. To this agent Mr. Fem
confided his baggage checks for two
trunks with the understanding that his
impedimenta be delivered at the Pacific
Mail wharf before the liner Mongolia
sailed. He agreed to pay so cents for
each trunk.
The trunks were delivered about
half an hour before sailing time. The
transfer agent demanded So. Fem pro-
tested to Policeman Mackey, but the
latter advised him that hes would have
TO pay whatever the agent asked. as
there was no written evidence of any
previous agreement.
Fem said he wrote a letter to the
transfer company, but received no
reply.
POHCemdn COnIOH, INTO whose ndnQS
Fenns complaint was placed for inves-
tigation, reported that an International
Transfer Company once upon a time
operated in this city, but that the con-
Germ went out of existence. years ago
and that the reverend traveller had evil
IDENTIFY. fallen into the hands of some
free lance who had possessed himself
or supply of the defunct concerns
stationery.
Policeman Mackey is out of town on
a months vacation. If upon his return
he can recall the incident and identify
the transfer man who doubled up on
the clergyman the police will be or
dered to keep that man off all w1arves
and away from railroad and ferry
depots.
Incidentally the police were instruct
ed in all cases of future complaint to
take the baggage away from the trans
fer man and turn it over to the owner
upon payment by him of a reasonable
fee to the transfer agent. If complaints
continue an effort will be made to com
pei all men soliciting the handling of
baggage to put up a bond large enough
to keep all but responsible individuals
and firms out of the business. At pres
ent all the law requires is that the so
licitor shall have a license, which is
issued to anybody that pays the neces-
sary fee.

Finds Snake In Her Bed.

Greensboro, KY, June Sleeps,
ing all night in bed with a snake is
something that many women would
not do, yet it was the experience of
Mrs. Josie Griffin, near Sutherland
station, Monday night. Mrs. Grit
fin being very fatigued, retired to her
bed at an early hour Monday night.
She slept soundly and did not awake
until Tuesday morning at 1870, her
usual hour.
When she arose from her bed she
threw the coverlets buck over the
foot of the bed revealing a large
black snake coiled up in the middle
of the bed. Instead of screaming as
most women would, Mrs. Griffin
grabbed a poker and killed the SER
pent. The snake measured four feet
in length and was larger than most
snakes of its kind. The idea of
sleeping with snake is not at all
agreeable to Mrs. Griffin, and she
says that hereafter she will always
look under the covers, as well as
under the bed, before retiring.
The superstition is that the snake
entered the house and got in the bed
during the afternoon while the family
was cut.
