ADVICE THAT SEEMS SOUND
Few Better Solid Investments to Be Found Than Portion of
 Mother Earth.

Get q little patch of mother earth, o young man with $500 to invest. If.you can't get it in New York, get it in Utah. Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, AIaska-or any old place in the far west But-buy the ground. Billions have been lost in spurious mining ventures; but m the course of time there will be an end of wildcat mining, SaIted mines are not yet a dead issue; but in a few years there will be such a consolidation of mining interests that 10 salt a mine will mean 20 years in prison. Any man to-day may open an office in Wall street and lay on q table samples of ores that would make you rich in month-if you got an interest in the mine. If you care to invest, make secret service investigation. Learn if the promoter is backed by honest peo- pie, learn if the ground is not the sky. learn if mother earth Is holding something of value in her paw. If satisfied -buv.-New York Press.

BROWNING CLUB SHOCKED.

Miss Josephine Lazarus rather shocked the Browning society in New York recently by declaring that, though Browning loved to write about the east, he did not un- derstand it-not in any deep, vital sense. It's soul escaped him, and his poems about Jews were, in fact, just skyscrapers on the edge of the beautiful limitlcss desert. The la dies all agreed that men are incorri- gible where Browning is concerned, and one woman said her husband said that when he got through read ing "Sordello" he did not know whether it was a town or a man, or what.

GOOD WORD FOR THE COYOTE.

"I have been ranching on an is- land for more than a quarter of a century," writes a correspondent of the Fur News. 'There are no carniv- orous animals on my island but the coyote wolf, and l could get rid of him in a very short time and at very little expense, but if l did the rabbit would soon put me out of business. have eXperlmented along these lines and know what I'm talking about, and l declare here and now that in my opinion the car nivorous wild animals of Texas save the farmers and stock raisers hun drcds of millions of dollars by keep ing the rabbits in check"

LEGISLATOR PLAYS WITH FIRE
Representative Ard Attempts
 Derision of Governor
And Quickly Learns that House is in No Mood for Trifling with Chief
 Executive.

Little Rock, Feb. Io.-Special. - Pooling with Gov. Donaghey or making light of his principles is worse than playing with fire, as was shown in the house yesterday afternoon when what Representa- tive Ard of Jackson county claim ed he intended as mere pleasant ry, was turned into seething mon- ster and soon dispatched by the swarming members of the house. Representative Ard sent his resolu- ton to the clerk to have it read. The clerk started out to read the usual Be it Resolved, etc. /" about Governor Donaghey taking charge of all branches of the state legisla- tion and that he should be imme- diately crowned king, the legisla tors resign, go back on their oaths, bow to the king and go back home
 The res olution was read only a part way through when halt the members of the house were on their feet, yelling at lhe top of their voice for the spt aktr to put stop to the reading ot tue resolu ton. Speaker Brown was making big dents in the bench before him and the reading finally ceased.
 Speaker Brown rebuked the member who offered the resolution and stated that at no time while he is member of the legislature will he permit the name of the govern or to be besmirche1 in the house. Several repre esentatlves also de- nounced the resolution and in as strong terms uY held the governor ill his every action. After the ses sion Representative Ard defended his resolution by quoting from an article in a daily paper in which Governor Donaghey was alleged to have charged the legislators with being afraid to do their duty, and stated that his resolution was merely to let the governor know the legislature can attend to its own business.
 Another Fling at Governor.
 Little Rock, Feb. Io.-Special. In the house this morning Roundtree of Clark, Thompson of Independence and Shackleford of Clark, introduced a resolution in which an alleged interview by Gov. Donaghey charging the legis- lators with playing politics and being afraid to tackle the tax revls- ion proposition, is quoted and de- clared an unjust criticism of the house, as there are three bills pending which have as their object the tax revision. Gov. Donaghey declined to discuss the proposition, but stated he had said nothing which would offend or hurt the feelings of anyone.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
Your Own Case.

You are interested, we will say, in several tracts of land-a home place, a farm, and town lot.
 Upon what do you rely for security ill ownership of this property?
 On one of two things: a warranty deed, or the statute of limitations.
 The first security may vanish with the years and leave you all too soon sus- pended as it were i'll midair.
 The second security is a last resort. Throwing up your hands ill the hope that the enemy's powder is wet.
