While travelling through the west
ern mountains several years ago a
| prospector fell from a precipiCe.
| When he picked himself up from the
ground he was madder than hor-
net because he had suffered bruises
of the body as the result of the fall.
He was about to curse his luck, when
! his eyes happened to rest upon a
! glittering piece of ore. On eXami-
nation he discovered that the ore
contained gold. He had struck a
rich vein.
A Second Thought.
One of the young ladies who was
entered in the contest of THE CITI-
! ZEN on first thought decided to
! have her name withdrawn after she
/ had learned of her nomination. The
| Tour Manager explained that she had
as good a chance to win as others
and on second thought decided to
remain contestant.
Second thoughts generally are the
better. A few days ago she called
on the Tour Manager to express her
gratitude for the suggestion to stay
in the contest and her determination
to do all in her power to get one of
the tours. The count of the ballot
yesterday placed her among the
| frin x1Fhn Gh n n
called on for assistance came up to
the top notch for more votes have
been cast for her to date than she
! had dreamed or getting.

dies of votes by subscribing to THE

pretty and popular maidens, and may
