Merrill out OF Big Five.

The announcement is made from the
Office of the Big Five that N. c. Merrill,
who was the original promoter and or.
ganizer of that bunch of corporations
which are now consolidated. has en-
tirely severed his connection both as di-
rector and stockholder. 1t is said that
all of the shares formerly held by the
the Merrill Hazen families have been
surrendered upon terms which will be
made public later in a statement to be
issued by the present officers. The only
stock retained by any Of the family is
small blocks owned by the mother and
brother of Mr.. Merrill. The officers of
the company state that a large amount
of stock and cash becomes almost i'm
med,ately available, and that the Big
Five is now in position to go ahead with
its plans without fear Of hindrance in
the future.
Manager Willis, of the Central tunnel
stated that within a short time double
shifts would be put to work in driving
the Central tunnel ahead, and in addi
ton, a system of lateral development
or deep level mine making would be
carried out as the lodes are encountered
BY the tunnel. The great success of the
Yak tunnel at Leadviile, and other tun
mel enterprises when operated on a
business basis, go TO show the practi-
cability and profit earning capacity of
these enterprises. A couple Of more
working mines on the line of the Central
tunnel, would in a short time pay divi-
dends to the 1000 more or less Big Five
stockholders.

SELECTING A HUSBAND.

Because it is the duty of every
woman to marry some man it by no
means follows that she is deprived
Of the privilege of making acute dis
elimination: on the contrary, to full
fill her mission as completely as pos
sib1e, she should exercise the great
est care in selecting mate.
Time was when she had no say
in the matter, and in some countries
she has little or none to-day; but in
this happily civilized land she still
possesses, and will undoubtedly hold
for all time, the right first to choose
and then ensnare. 1t is noble pre-
rogative-one, in cur judgment, that
should be appreciated and cherished
above all others. And yet, as we
have observed, it should be exercised
with caution. Let nothing be left to
chance, as Plato would have had 1t
when he decreed that pairing should
be done by lot; while not over-nlce,
be at least particular, in order that
the one chosen may feel honored by
the distinction conferred upon him,
ana SO DG luS iSctuiJ ltooSSH
to show his undying gratefulness.
Much that was thought and writ
ten years ago on how to choose
wife was good enough for the time,
but the recent reversal of the relative
attitudes of seeker and sought rem
ders it valueless, says George Har-
vey in the North American Review.
Nevertheless, despite the fact that,
in considering the points to be needed
and the precautions to be observed
by womankind, we find ourselves in
a fallow field, certain general prin-
ciples may be regarded as estab-
lished. 1t is best, for example, to
capture a husband while he is still
young, docile and plastic. Prefer
ably, also, he should be in love. He
may then be trained after the man
ner best calculated to serve the con-
venience OF her for whom thencefor-
ward he must and should toll.

Hanging Tn Their Houses.

Not long ago three people were
discussing the report that man had

of the three refused to credit the re-
port; yet it proved to be based on
fact
have since heard of like cases,
but did not begin to realize the state
of things in the mortgage line that
has followed the rise of the motor
car craze until some figures were fur
nished me the other day. In single
city, and it is not among the very
largest in this country either, l was
told that mortgages on houses aggre-
eating no less than 100000 are held
by dealers as pledges for the payment
of automobiles, and that in a smaller
city there are similar mortgages foot
ing up to 100000. Obviously deal
ers cannot afford to accept automo-
biles as security for the debts in
Cured in the purchase of vehicles, so
the man with a motor car desire and
a pushcart bank account must pre-
force mortgage the roof over his
