Your efforts still redouble.
Don't NOPE around and wait for luck

The man who might do something in
This world well worth the doing,

So cast aside the little things

You'll stand a chance of scoring.

~ FOURTH avenue store advertised
WI bargain sale of jardinieres. When
the doors were opened a mob
of women rushed in and great tumult
began. Elderly matrons surged frantically
in the throng, with jardinieres elasped
In their arms. Others, brushing aside the
helpless clerks, went behind the counters
and seized the Jars which most suited
their fancy, disregardng the protests of
less fortunate bargain hunters. Children
were placed on tables and counters so
they would not be trampled on. Above
the clamor a crash at intervals told of
another jardiniere that had been swept
to the floor. Overhead decorations we're
pulled down, hats were smashed cloth
ing torn and havoc wrought, but there
was no cessation in the rush until every
jardiniere, had been sold. Then and then
only did the victorious shoppers draw
off their forces. Detected shopgirls
crawled out from places of refuge and
surveyed the ruin passively. They are
used to bargain days, but to casual
visitor the store looked as if cyclone
had passed that way.

DOG MANS BEST FRIEND.
Only Unselfish Creatures in This Sci.
fish World.


Telegraphic dispatches from Chi
cago again tell of the faithfulness of
dog to his master and bring back
to memory the famous elougy of the
late United States Senator George G..
Vest of Missouri on the dog. Senator
Vest said that the one absolutely I'M
selfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never
turns treacherous, is his dog.
John e. Gustaye Burghoffer, an
aged. curi9 collector, died among his
books and his curios in Chicago, and
his faithful dog notified the neigh
boris Of the old mans death by whin-
ing piteously for recognition from it's
master Burghoffer's wife and son
had deserted him. His dog remained
faithful even unto death.
Senator Vest was a famous orator
and one of the most famous speeches
he ever made was during the trial
OF man who had wantonly shot a
dog belonging to a neighbof. Vest
I represented the plaintiff, who de-
manded $500 damages. When Sen
ator Vest finished speaking, the jury,
after two minutes deliberation,
awarded the plaintiff $500 damages.
The full text of that famous eulogy
to the dog follows:
Gentlemen of the jury:-The
best friend man has in the world
may turn against him and become his
enemy. His son and daughter that
he has reared with loving care may
prove ungrateful. Those who are
nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and our good names, may become
traitors to their faith. The money
that man has he may lose. 1t flies
away from him, perhaps when he
needs it most A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in moment of i'll
considered action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees to do
us honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone Of NAL
ice when failure settles its cloud up
on our heads. The one absolutely I'M
selfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never
deserts him the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous is
his dog.

HEINZE ON COPPER.
Says Lower Price Will Mean Finan-
cial and Industrial Gain.

Coincident with dinner to F.
Augustus Heinze, given in Boston
one day last week by Jf A. Coram,
comes long article from the pen of
P. A. O'Farrell, the lieutenant and
press agent of Mr.. Heinze, in which
the copper situation is analysed and
very discordant note is struck, says
the Boston Financial News.
In brief, Mr.. O'Farrell declares
that the output of copper mines is
far in excess of consumption, that a
futile attempt is being made to hold
nigh quotations, that three interests
are united in hiding from the public
the actual facts regarding copper,
and, finally, after going over the his
tory of the Secretan syndicate ana
the entrance of the Standard Oil in
terests into the copper field, conclud-
es that copper at IL cents gives the
mine owner legitimate and in a mul-
tltude OF cases vast profits, and 12-
cent copper will allo wthe world to
progress along natural and economic
INES. The. copper mine owners who
cannot make ends meet on a 70
cent copper basis had better seek
fresh fields and pastures new. There
are thousands of virgin copper mines
that can be made to produce conner
at 6 or or cents cost.
From his point of view the drop
in copper to II cents a pound will be
distinct financial and Industrial
gain. 1t will stimulate the building
OF trolley lines, of telephone and tele-
graph extensions. 1t will hasten the
building of electric power plants and
release the $4O,OOO,OOO or $50, OOO,-
600 now tied up in carrying this dead
load of copper metal"
