PLAN MODEL MINING TOWN.
Work Is Begun in Virgin Forest Near
Negaunee, Mich.

Negaunee. Mich.-Where there is
now virgin forest the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron company has commenced
the work of laying out new town in
the Swanzey district that within a
few years will become an important
mining center.
1t is the intention TO found a model
community, patterned somewhat after
the new city of Coleraine, which the
Steel Corporation is establishing at
the western end of the Mesaba re
gion in Minnesota, and as a step in
that direction the Boston landscape
architectural firm of which Warren II
Manning is the head has been com
missioned to supervise the operations
of the company's engineers in plat
ting the town. Building work will not
commence for some weeks and in the
meantime the streets will be laid out
and other preliminaries disposed of.
The town will be convenient to
three new mines of the company
the Princeton. Austin and Smith-and
with the other properties likely TO be
opened in the same vicinity there is
assurance of substantial growth.

HER PLOT WAS cuNNINeLY LAID.
Scheme Of Woman in Madrid to Get
Valuable Diamond.

London.-A story of an amazingly
audacious swindle comes from Mad
rid, Spain. The heroine is hand,
some, elegantly dressed woman who
the other day visited specialist in
mental diseases on behalf of her hus-
band, who, she said, was sufferer
from religious mania. Having explain
ed the case, it was arranged that she
should return in about an hour with
the afflicted husband.
The next scene of action was iew-
elers shop in another part of the city,
where she selected diamonds to the
value of $4,000 on the understanding
that she would buy them if her hus-
band approved Would someone ac-
company her home in a cab and the
money would be paid Immediately?
A trusted clerk was sent and with
him the lady drove back to the doc
tors house. In an anteroom she took
the stones, Just to show them to her
husband" then, entering with sublime
assurance the doctors study, she in
formed the specialist that her hus-
band was now in the anteroom and
ready to be examined.
Leaving visiting card. the lady
took her departure and the DOCTOR
bidding the supposed patient enter,
proceeded at his leisure. to ask pro-
fessional questions. The jewelers.
man was puzzled at first, but soon he
realized that he had been made the
victim of clever fraud. The doctor,
however, interpreted his agitation as
caused by his complaint and when
after two hours matters were finally
explained the lady impostor had van
ished with her spoils without leaving
any trace

BULLETS USED AS CURRENCY
Valuable as Coin in Abyssinia, Fa-
nous for Big Game.

London.-Down in Abyssinia, writes
a British consul, cartridges are used
as currency, those fitting the popular
rifle, the Gras, exchanging at ratio
of l TO 10 with their (debased) cent.
In other words, one Gras cartridge
will buy as much as ten cents-two
glasses of beer, one ice cream soda
or three highgrade panetelas.
This is truly sad news for lovers
of peace in the world. In a country
where bullets are coming into use as
currency growth toward militarism
can hardly be doubted. Abyssinia is,
it is true. famous for its big game,
but this alone can hardly be held to
account for the new deauh-dealing cur
rency.
The country's Negus Negusti (king
of kings. as the emperor is modestly
called, will evidently bear watching.
His compulsory attendance at the
coming Hague conference would not
be an unreasonable requirement by
the powers. Besides its martial i'm
portance the new currency is of some
interest in connection with the his
tory of substances used as money.
While Abyssinia is lowly civilized
country 1t has in circulation several
forms of modern money-a currency
based on the Maria Theresa dollar
value about 80 cents. and a consid-
cradle supply of Indian rupees. 1t
is in the nature of reversion, there
fore. to find manufactured product,
primarily intended for other use, con-
verted into currency.

VARSITY MEN IN WEST
HOST OF GRADUATES HUNTING
GOLD IN NEVADA.
CoIlegians Bent on Adventure or Seek
ing Their Fortunes Flock to Camps
and Talk Of the Formation
of Club.

Reno, Nev.-There are perhaps
more university graduates or men
who have attended schools of higher
learning in Nevada than in any other
station in the union in proportion to
the population. Every camp, town
and county is crowded with former
varsity men. Some are former stars
on the eleven, the crew. the nine, the
debating tetam; and even the Young
Mems Christian association is repre-
sented.
But out of it all there is no organ
ization formed for the perpetuation of
the ideals for which the men were
trained The college graduate is at
tracted here by the opportunities for
making money, but with all the excite
nent he is prone to meet with his
fellow classmates and discuss old
times, the deeds of a different life.
Therefore the Nevada University
club is about to be formed. Judge
Norcross of the state supreme court.
Georgetown man, is one of those
in favor of the project. Judge Swee-
ney of st. Mary's, Oakland, and later
of Georgetown, will help in the organ
ization. A. ID. Elliot, recent clerk of
the senate of Nevada, and Harvard
grad" says that he will put his shoul-
der to the wheel.
Assemblyman big Ed" Stewart,
who operates in Tonopah and Manhat-
tan, will pay the charter membership
fee with gladness. Big Ed" has been
fired from more universities and
graduated from more than perhaps
any other man in Nevada. Slim
Stevens of Manhattan. formerly con-
nected with Boston Tech" will lend
a hand toward helping the club. The
Poe brothers, Princeton football stars
of recent years. who are now in Gold
field, want to help
Reno has a bunch of college men
who will give the association a boost
The University of Nevada is we'll rep
resented here in all the professions
and businesses, and Stanford, Cali
fornia, Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania
Princeton, Michigan. Northwestern.
Chicago, Tulane, Virginia, Cornell.
Dartmouth, Georgetown, Brown, Ok
! ford and Heidelberg, have their repre-
sentatiyes in this city. All Nevada
towns claim such men.
When the club is formed immedi-
ate steps will be taken to secure
funds for the purpose of building a
| club house in Reno. where all the
| members will have a place to make
headquarters and always feel at home.

HOW TO ADVERTISE
EFFECTIVE METHODS THAT WILL

PubIie-Why the MaiI-order Man
Wins-Try tho Plan.

II you, Mr.. Merchant, would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to success-the
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last Of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, but in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver-
tisins, or what he does do is not effec-
tive in the same way that the mail
order mans advertising is effective.
The writing Of effective advertising
is not an art, 1t is not a business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need
1t is comparatively safe to say that
rs per cent. of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Such
Advertisements as the following are

that would compare favorably with the
prices OF the mail-order catalogues,
and he should impress 1t upon the
public that he not only shows them
what they are buying before they pay
for it. but that the purchaser has no
freight to pay, and does not have to
wait an interminable time for the
goods he buys, as when ordering Of
the mail order houses
1t is specific advertising that draws.

tail the goods he has to sell, and
quotes the price he asks for 1t will

who deals only in generalities. 1t. is
this kind of advertising that pays. 1t
Is this kind of advertising that is at
tracing the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the mail
order houses of the city. 1t is this
kind OF advertising that drew $780,
100000 into the Golfers OF the Chicago
mail-order houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr.. Merchant, whether your

clothing or other commodities, 1t is
well to go further than your newspa.
per advertising, though this is the
foundation of success. Go to the local
printer and have him make you little
catalogues of your own. They do not
need to be large affairs. but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Put
into these folders the descriptions and
prices of the goods you are carrying,
or leaders in the line. Be sure that
the prices quoted are right, then put
one Of these into the hands of every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make

ILL FROM OVERWORK
NERVOUS PRoSTRATioN CURED

BY Tonins up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tient Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits,

When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim sufferer himself but he is
usually a trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: About four years
ago this September I became all run

ment to work during warm weather.
For two months l grew steadily worse.

bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked ON my condition.

at the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends.
continued using the pills until l was
thoroughly recovered. regard them as
fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit
I received from them"
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia. As u tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.
If you are sufferer from any disor-
der of the blood and nerves write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.
