Why Men Fail
by one TOO

What, then, is competency this thing without which all else is value less? It is that invisible, indescribable something which out of a brakeman develops a railroad superintendent or a president; that out of an office boy creates a manager; that out of bank messenger builds great tinancier: out of an observant telegraph operator produces an Edison: or studious lad a Marconi, and from drygoOdS clerk a Marshall Field. It is something which schools do not teach, is not al- ways inherited, and cannot be bought. But it can be acquired in greater or less degree by any son or daughter of Adam who is willing to dig as he did, although not necessarily in the earth.
 Yet there will always be failures, for a reason not heretofore mentioned, viz, the vice of speculation, which is the name given to certain kinds of gambling other than that commonly so called. Speculation is unfortunately not rare among men engaged in com mercial occupations. In prosperous times many such escape with their hide, but in time of panic, or sharp depression in values, the number of failures due to speculation increases anormOuSlV and reveals the larpe number of those who cannot resist the temptation to dabble in futures. We have called the indulgence in this thing a vice, and such it is. For the incompetent there is hope. The other fellow is sometimes cured by wound that is not fatal, but the most part Ot his kind finally go down in financial maelstorm.-Cent Per Cent.

have been lenient with Mexicans and have admitted them if they said they had work, without forcing them to show that they had a certain amount of money, as they do with other for eigners, but the department at Wash ington is swamped with protests from New Mexico and Arizona, the people assertaining that many of these peons refuse to work after reaching the United States, and that the poor houses and jails are filling up with them. It is asserted that they are robbing people right and left and are almost causing a reign of terror along the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines. As result of these protests the department has decided to draw the lines tight and exclude all they legally can. Over thirty were turned back recently at Fl Paso in one day and as many more the next. Last month 5000 were admitted at that port alone

Not Found in Catalogue.

The Howell County Gazette, ot West Plains, Mo-, gives the following sensible advice to its readers, concern ing the catalogue houses:
 When your catalogue comes from the mail order house, wait until you get home before removing the wrap per: then wait until after supper, when the chores are done; draw an easy chair to the table where the light will shine full on the pages, put on your glasses that no bargain may escape your eye, and settle down for an hour of quiet enjoyment.
 What a wonderful book it is to be sure-wonderful for what it does not contain, as well as for what it does. We miss something we would be glad te see. Where is there offer to pay cash or exchange goods for your wheat, corn. sheep or hogs free on board. " How much tax will they pay for i'm proving roads and bridges, for the sup port of the poor, the expenses ot the town, county or state? On what page is their offer to contribute money or services in the establishment and main tenance of church or Sunday school for the moral tone of your community: What line of credit will they extend to you when your credit is poor, your money gone, when through illness or misfortune you are not able to send cash order for your groceries, cloth ing, farm tools and crockery? Where is their offer to contribute to your entertainment next 4th of July?
 If you find the queries satisfactorily answered, bring the answers in and most merchants will go to farming and let the town go to grass. Under such conditions no towns are needed further than to furnish a railroad station, ar express office and a case for rural mai carriers-all of which may be covered by one roof.

electricity and is worked on the la6est and most economical plan. It IS equip ped also with a ten stamp mill and concentrators and is making a large tonnage of concentrates daily. All the high grade ores are shipped to the smelter without dressing up while the lower grades are put through the mill. This mine has been well managed ana will soon be on a dividend basis.
 In the southeast end of the Walla- pais is the Aubrey district, in winch there are a number of promising cop per and gold prospects. The copper veins are large, but strange to relate not one has had particle of work done on it, the prospectors preferrlng to get after the small veins of high grade gold ores of that section. Some mining companies have been operating the small veins and have taken out ricn ore. but not in quantity to pay expenses. The expense of mining ir that district is unusually high, because of the great distance from the base oi supplies. As the country builds uI around it the mines will come into the market and make a record for them selves.
 As Lieutenant Humphries predicted in his research in the Wallapai noun tains, as early as 1852, that section l. one of the best mineralized of any dis trict in the territory and is sure to be heard from in the years to come.

EXPOSURE

To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden changes of tenn perature, scanty clothing, undue ex- posture of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Hore- hound Syrup is the best cure.

Frequently during the past six weeks nuggets of native copper similar to this one have been encountered in the tunnel. They occur at irregular in- tervals in small shoots, several shoots often appearing rather close together in the breast of the tunnel at the same time. Mir.

Some Peculiar Facts About Frisco's
 Early History.

San Francisco was built more than any other city in the world without the idea of permanent residence. Be cause of this makeshift character, be- fore the present dread calamity it had already in five conhagrations lost lS,- COG. .OOOS. The town site of the Forty Miners was forty acres around Ports mouth square, the Plaza, where Capt. Montgomery first raised the American flag July s, 1916. But to make the latter city miles ot profound swamps were filled in, some of them to the depth of eighty feet, as were miles of tide flats: scores of hills were tipped over into scores of valleys and cuts and fills, before unheard of, were made. Market street, for example, Is in places sixty feet below its old level. All thls building up of a city involved the removal of 2l,000,0O0 yards of earth and the raising to grade of near ly 1000 brick buildings.
 After the great fire of 1851, the last before the present holocaust, the ma terial for the rebuilding of the city was brought in part from New York, London and Australia, because at that time it was cheaper than brickmaking and stone cutting on the spot.
 San Francisco is noted for its hotels and its restaurants. The reason for the magnifcence of its hostelries is found in the exhorbitant prices that prevailed in the early days of immi- grafton for rents and edibles and everything that goes to the making of a home. Money was the commonest thing and home the rarest. For some years there were practically no fami- lies, and for years after families began to arrive the continued high prices for food, servants, building and rents made the people patronize hotels to an extent that in any other community would have been deemed nothing short of scandalous.
 In 1860 the American men in Cali fornia outnumbered the American women four to one. Money was easy and life hard. It took six months to get bill of goods from New York, the nearest market, by a roundabout voyage of l9,000 miles in a sailing ship. The population was shifting and it was impossible to order com. modities with intelligence, when the arrival of a ship might upset the mar ket. And so it was, for example, thai one time the price of tobacco was 2 a pound and still going up, and that 1T the winter of 1919 boxes of plug tObac co were employed for street crossing in San Francisco through the knee deep mud, in which men actual! drowned. One man used tObacco fol the foundation of his new house When saleratus was bringing 16S pound an order was sent to New YOrl by men who expected to make an in dependent fortune at retailing it, bu who had to sell it for six cents pount after it arrived, owing to the drop il price, because someone else ha, thought of it, and the market wa overstocked.
 At this time there were no ware houses, no stores that were not tinde boxes. Freight, lighterage and dray age were enormously high: interest l per cent a month, with the story c one plunger having paid l per cent
