Once there was a country boy who
came to the city to forge his way in
the world.
He secured position in wholesale
grocery, working conscientiously and
faithfully. BY stint and sacrifice he
saved a nice portion of his. earnings,
until at the end of two years he had
about 5000 in the bank to his credit
Coincident with this date chronicied
above. well-dressed and smooth-talk-
ing agent of a Nevada gold mining
company same along and met the
country boy After some clever de.
scriptions regarding the marvels of
wealth buried in the shaft on a certain
mountain and the immense quantities
OF glittering treasures dragged from
the bowels of the earth the 5000 were
transferred from the bank to the
agent, and a pretty engraved share
of stock with the name of the coun-
try boy upon it was carefully packed
away in the tray of his trunk.
A month passed and then a letter
came. On the outside of the enveI.
ope was the name of the Nevada min
Ing company On the inside was Z
check for $1,000. the first monthly
payment on one share of stock.
