What Jay Gould Said.

Jay Gould once said to a friend {:
When you invest in the stock of
of a company, don't look for the
best, for you will never find it.
Look for a good one, then invest,
do it quickly. Don't wait to see if
it pans out all right, for that is
where you loose your opportunity.
When you have waited to see If it
pans out, You will have to pay a
premium on the stock, and you
will have lost the biggest advance
on value. You must make money
on your judgment and foresight,
and not on demonstrated facts"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh. which Is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
eatarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE DUTY or THE RICH.

Surplus wealth flowing into the
hands Of few men, as 1t does today
what is their duty? How is the strug-
gle for dollars to be lifted from the
sordid atmosphere surrounding bust
ness and made noble career?
Now, wealth has hitherto been dis
tributed in three ways The first and
chief one is by willing 1t at death to
the family. Now. beyond bequeathing
to those dependent upon one the reve-
nue. needful for q modest and inde-
pendent living. Is such use Of wealth
either right or wise? I mean No. AS
"a rule, the almighty dollar requeathed
Ito sons or daughters by miillonaires
proves an almighty curse.
1T is not the good of the child which
the millionaire parent considers when
Me makes these requests; 1t is his own
vanity; 1t Is not affection for the
child; 1t is -glorification for the
Sparent which is at the root of this in
furious disposition Of wealth. There
ts only one thing to be said for this
rmode-it furnishes one of the most
,efAcaciOus means Of rapid distribution
OF wealth ever known.
There is second use of wealth. less
common than the first, which is not
so injurious to the community but
(which should bring no credit to testa-
'tor. Money is left by millionaires to
public institutions when they must re-
lax their grasp upon it.
There is no grace, and can be no
yblessing, in giving what cannot be
withheld. 1t is no gift, because 1t is
not cheerfully given. but only granted
at the stern summons of DEATH
The third use, and the only noble
use of surplus wealth is this-that II
DE regarded as sacred trust, to be
administered by its possessor. into
whose hands 1t flows, for the highest
good of the people.

upon which the aspiring poor MAY
