How TO Become Rich

In order to become rich it Is necessay
merely to follow the perfectly simple
procedure OF any king Of finance. Thus
Borrow all the money you can upon
the property you already own.
With the money buy more property,
Combine the two properties, float a
loan, and with the money buy a third
property.
Merge the three properties, use the
merger as security for loan, aud with
the money buy another large property.
Consolidate this with the Others, &C.
lect board Of directors, and authorize
yourself to float twice as much stock a.
there IL.
Sell this stock, and with the money
buy Eve or six more properties
Organize holding company which
will carry the stocks OF all the proper
ties.
You are now 80 wealthy and innu-
entail that you do not need to make
any more loans.
Increase the stock Of your properties
and sell bonds upon them.
Authorize yourself to buy everything
Ia sight with this money.
Now you will have c)ntrol Of every-
thing; also you will have the say-so in
any number OF subsidiary companies
and controlling voice In eight or
nine insurance companies and nation
banks.
After this there doesn't seem to be
much for you to do except to get the
dyspepsia, get bald and prattle gently
about the excellence of moral proverbs.
Life.

Scrihners For February

Scribners Magazine for February
opens with most original and roman
tic story by Frederick Palmer, the war
correspondent, entitled ''For the Honor
of the Balloon Corps" The situation is
entirely possible under impending con-
ditions of warfare. The hero Of the
exploit is genius and an officer OF
mettle. 1t is wildly illustrated by
Wyeth.
New light will be thrown on South
America, as it now is. by Arthur Ruhl,
In the series of articles which begins in
this number with Santiago: the Me.
tropolis of the Andes" Mr.. Ruhl hes
the observing eye aDd the picturesque
style OF the modern correspondent. Lat.
in America, which Secretary Root's
visit has brought to the foreground in
cur interest, contains civilization
that is intensely individual. The Chile
ais, whom Mr.. Ruhl describes in this
article, are probably the most capable
OF South American peoples.
Charles M. Pepper, la his revelations
of the Influence of THE West in the
Orient, "brings out some dramatic con-
trasts of very old civilizations with the
rost odern applications OF electricity
to cars, factories and lighting, He
shows how the water-powers CT India
have been turned into electricity; cut
lines the daring dream OF converting the
free air Of the himalayas and the white
limestone of the Kashmir hills INTO fer
tiizer for the Punjsub. He also shows
how it is probable that electricity will
play great part in the opening mp OF
Tibet. The whole Orient in fact is wax
ing up to modern ideas through the APP
pIication OF electricity.
