The Ph:Ioscoher.

Philosophers are numerous. but the only ones I have ever come across in sll my life were those who had every. thing their own way. How in the dickens can a starving man philoso- phize? How can a man who has just lost his job philosophize? zoroaster was the most profound philosopher of his age, theoretically, but he was easily put out of temper. He once carried his irritability so far as to break a marble table to pieces with a hammer because he happened to stumble over it in the dark The time tO philosophize is when your stomach Is fat with good capon lined and yoo are clipping coupons in a cuobvhole of a safe-deposit fsuls.-Nsw fork Press.

WILCOX, Nov. 2S.-During the past month much of interest has trans pired at the property of the Mascot Copper company near Dos Cobezas. Men high up in mining and financial circles have visited the camp and af- ter thoroughly Investigating it's tre- mendous possibilities have left with the unanimous opinion that it is big property.
 In addition to this several of the leading officials of the company have been on the ground, giving their per sonar attention to the installation of equipment necessary for the blocking cut of the many known ore bodies.
 T. N. McCauley, general manager of the Mascot Copper company, has paid two recent visits to the property. On his first visit he was accompanied by Homer $. King, president of the Bank of California and a heavy stockholder in the Mascot. This was Mir Kings second visit to the camp and lasted for more than a week. He was inter viewed by C.e writer while waiting here to take the train for San Fran francisco and in answer to our ques- tion, How do you like the Mascot property" stated;
 T am much pleased with the prog ress noted a. Ihe property on my sec Ond trip and I am more thoroughly convinced than ever that Mascot Cop per will make one of the g-eaA:Gt pro ducers of copper in the territory"

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? II prevails in that
far-away country-Africa-- especially
the Congo district. II Is caused by
the bite OF the tsetse fiy. When It
bites person. the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at aight. tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent IT.? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: Il had lost
my appetite. was all rundown. could
not sleep nights. l had tried every
thing without relief. vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise. 1t
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now | sleep soundly."
What Yinol did for Mr.. Hayes, II will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
