generally give an exhibition of

q
dream that has given me some
anxiety Of late. It is this: For
three nights in succession / dream
ed that Ifdiscoyered a tremendous
ly rich vein of gold ore. My dream
was so vivid that / believe l
could tell the number and kind of
trees that grow on the hillside
whore it is located. Inc these
dreams of mine everything was
made as plain as day. [ visited
the city near where it is and know
exactly how far it lie from town. l
believe l could find the place
blindfolded.
Now, dad, [ am no spiritualist
or mind reader, nor do [ believe
in divining rods, etc. On several &C.
casions | have read in the papers
whore these dreams turned out to
be true. That is why I am de-
termined to investigate this mat
ter thoroughly at the first oppor-
tunity.
If you wish to come in on the
ground floor on this proposition,
why you are welcome 10 do so.
With your assistance I feel conf
dent we could discover almost any
kind of mine desired. As Mark
Twain used to say, there's mil
lions in it." However, | shall not
be disappointed in the least if you
decide otherwise, for I am we'll &C.
quainted with your shrewd bust
ness acumen and know you will not
buy pig in poke.
Your affectionate son,
Johnny.
My Dear Son:-I am greatly
surprised that you would attempt
to persuade your dad to engage in
such a deal. No, I shall not come
in on the ground floor, nor on the
second floor for that matter. You
may have had such dream, but
if you did it can be traced to nat
ural causes. 1 don't think for
moment that you have been in
spired and told where was to be
found a gold mine.
You state that you have read of
such things having occurred, there.
fore you have implicit confidence
in dreams. Undoubtedly you have
read of such things, but they do
not occur in real life. Whenever
news is scarce, why the reporters
manufacture such stuff, knowing
that no one will take the time to
question its reliability. That is
about the sum and substance of
most of the miraculous tales you
read about nowadays.
My boy, dismiss such foolish
ness as dreams; there is absolute
ly nothing in them. There has
been many man who has pur-
sued such an idea, bat they all
turned out to he frost. I know
several persons who bit hard on
just such a proposition as you un-
folded to me, but they lived to re-
greet it and profited by the expe.
rience. I expect to sail for Europe
in few days, so don't be dlsap-
pointed if you do not hear from
me. And during the meantime
just keep on being cheerful and
never permit yourself to get dis
couraged.
Sincerely yours,
Father.

Organizations Which Prey Upon the

Now and then comes the news OF
the formation OF some new-fangled or
ganization. Many OF them are de-
signed to do away with established
systems oS business. Most OF them are
schemes devised by insincere persons
who think that they can make some
easy money through the work. Plans
proposed are OF the most impractical
and visionary kind. Not long since
what was known as the South Dako-
IA" plan was undertaken, and II In
volved complete revolution OF es-
tablished business methods. II was
proposed 10 have the backing Of
Standard OH interests TO the extent OF
$4,000. 900. and with this great amount
establish supply houses In large cities,
issue immense catalogues with the
names OF merchants who would use
them. and supply all these merchants
with the goods listed. II was n brill

come operative and successful, n
would be the building UP OF mann
