Some time ago man at Ypsilanti, Mich. became crazed on the subject of hypnotism, and was sent on a Michigan Central train to an asylum. When the conductor asked for tickets the crazy man began telling of his hypnotic powers.
 I'll hypnotize you" he said.
 Fire away" replied the conductor.
 The man made several passes be- fore the conductors face.
 Now you are hypnotized," he said.
 The conductor looked the part as best he could.
 You're a conductor" the hypnotist said.
 That's right" replied the victim.
 You're good conductor" went on the hypnotist
 Right again" sald the conductor.
 You don't smoke. drink or swear at passengers. You are honest. You turn in all tickets and money you col. lect from passengers. In fact, you GO not steal a cent"
 That's right" asserted the conduc tor.

 There is also wood in abundance for both fuel and mining timbers for a long time to come.
 Forty eight men are employed in and about the mine.
 The financial conditio nof the North Tigre is declared most excellent by Mir Brown. The original capitaliza' tion of the company was S1,500,000 divided into an equal number of shares with a par value Of $1 each. Of this sum 800 GOO shares of the stock were given in return for the property. 111.6 acres in extent. Of the remaining 700 000 shares 500,- GOO shares remain in the treasury. Aside from this there is S25.060 in cash received from the sale of the recent allotment of 100000 shares at 25 cent per share. This will run the property for several months.
 The mine has a remarkable record for small property. More than 1000 feet of development work has has been done within six months.
 The nearest railroad point is Yzabel 32 miles from the property There is a fair wagon road for a DOT tion of the way while for 22 miles travelling is excellent the Fl Tigre road being employed.

Dodge 6 Co. are responsible for nearly slO 100000 of this increase. The dividend payments of the latter during the past year were $4,493, ,466. The railroad dividends have also in creased about S14,000.0o0, the figures for the present year being s257 7.242,- 00G.
 Examination of the complete list of industrial companies reveals that in no instance has there been a falling of of dividends for the current year as compared with last year. In few instances the payments have been the same. but the others show a de- cided increase. The promise of a prosperous new year could hardly be palmer than is contained in those figures. It almost goes without say ing that the dividends for 1910 will be many million dollars larger than for the present year.
