THE get RICH QUICK" CRAZE

There is, said Charles Reade, moth
ing so inscrutable as fool. Espe-
cially, he might have added, the
fnoney-seeking fool, says the New
York Tribune. Satan declared that
all that a man hath will he give for
his life. But there are those who
sacrifice even life itself to the lust
for wealth and particularly to the
craze for getting wealth quickly
through processes which SAVIOR
greatly of getting something for
nothing. The work which the post
Office department is now doing, in ex-
posing and Furnishing swindling en-
terprises which are operated through
the mails, is most commendable, and
is inspiring as an example of ad-
ministrative alertness and efficiency,

understanding maintained between
the counties of central Washington
which border along the Columbia.
There should be stronger feeling
existing between the counties of
north central and south central
Washington. The fact that COM
munication between these two sec
tions owing to an unnavigable Col
umbia and the lack of good high
way has prevented the cooperation
which should naturally exist between
these two sections. An association
to advance the interests of central
Washington should be effected. The
counties bordering along the Column
bia are increasing rapidly in popula-
ton and geographically they should
be a unit for political and CONNER
cial purposes.

Henry Smith on some of his testimo-

II am very pleased, indeed, to hear

do you mean?" asked Earl Grey in as

SPOILED THE ACT.
An incident That Enrased the Actor
ard Aenuaed fha Audiance

An incident That Enrased tho Actor
and Amused The Audience.
Some years ago a melodrama was
being performed in a country theater,
the chief actor In which had made
himself, from his naughty and over
bearing conduct, disliked by all. In
the last scene he was supposed to
visit the tombs Of his ancestors. In
the center of the stage upon a marble
pedestal stood the statue Of his father
A heavy fold of 0rapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert, who thus ad-
dressed the statue:
II am here once again to gaze upon
those features which In life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes
to pay thee alteration. Let me re-
move the veil which from the vulgar
gaze shields the beloved image Of a
once dear parent
Off went the drapery, and. behold,
there was disclosed the statue Of the
father gracefully standing upon its
head.
The effect cannot be described. It
was electric. The shouts Of laughter
which followed the mistake of the SUI
per efectually put ali end to the
scene, which changed to the naxt as
quickly as possible amid the jeers of
the audience, the anger of the mana
ger and the uncomfortable rage Of the
actor.-London Telegraph

A discreet knowledge Of slang is a

A favorite scheme is to offer in
small shares at low price stock IL
some concern which is said to be GER
tain to pay enormous profits. A gold
mine company, with fifty millions of
ore in sight, pretends to be seeking
only a hundred thousand dollars
capital. Does it never occur to the
dupes that il the conditions des-
cribed in the circulars were true
there would be no need of begging
for subscriptions, but that capitalists
would be eagerly offering all that
WAS needed? And whence do they
derive that amazing oredality which
credits the owners Of such a PIT Sc
of fortunatus with tho altruism
which would invite the whole world
in TO a share of the proceeds? To
say that there are millions in sight
and that thousands are being taken
out every day, but that the concern
is in need of ready money and there
fore offers stock at low rates to the
general public, suggests either that
the managers of it are fools or that
they think the public are fools,
There are doubtless many orror-
tunities for safe and profitable in
vestments, in industrial and other
enterprises. There have been some
examples of very large profits from,
very small investments, and there
will be others. But it is a safe rule
to follow that son ething is .1ot IL
be got for nothing, and il is pru
dent policy for prospective investor
to let their incredulity and skepti.
cism increase directly as the square
of the promised profits.

Huco's Practical Side.

Victor Hugo used to draft the adver-

the great novelist's advertising style:
