COMMON KINDNESS.
Looking for an Investment?

Looking for an investment?
I do not believe there is anything
in all the world that pays like an in
vestment of kindness-just plain ev-

You spend your money, and your
capital grows less and less. But kind
ness, why
The more you spend Of that the
more you have.
Here is a great field for the modern
promoter. Let him organize and put
on the market the preferred and COM
mon stock of the Amalgamated Com

And let him offer to the public this
speculative investment, which, while
insuring large dividends, rolls up in
creasingly the capital stock and sur

Now
Let him advertise something after
this fashion:

special tip to investors:

"Now is the favored time to catch

LAND CRABS.


eussr Creatures That Roam In For.
este Far From the Sea.
One Of the commonest and the lar.
gest Of the Christmas.island land crabs
il the well known robber crab. which
IL found In most Of the tropical islands
Of the Indian and Pacific oceans. 1t
sometimes reaches length Of two feet
and may measure seven inches across
the back. Its colors are Of a very
gaudy description, the ground color be-
ing bright red, upon which there are
stripes Of yellow, but In some cases a
purplish blue is the prevailing tint.
The eyes are fixed on stalks which
can be moved Independently Of one an
other, and there are two pairs of feel
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually, jerked up and
down. There is a pair OF powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance, these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs. and ones first encounter
with one Of these creatures in the mid
die Of forest far from thessea Is pro-
ductive Of much astonishment on both
sides.
Another species of land crab COM
mon In Christmas island is q little
bright red animal which In general
shape Is much like the common shore
crab. This variety makes burrows in
the ground. and in some places the
soil Is honeycombed with hundreds Of
holes. The crabs spend most Of their
time collecting dead leaves, which they
carry In their claws. holding them up
over their heads and drag down into
their burrows. into which they scuttle
at the least alarm.-Pearson's Maya

TWO JUDGES AND
THE REMEDY
There are Judges and Judges.

There are Judges and Judges
Federal Judge Hanford of Seattle decides UN-
DER THE LAW that the peculiar process by which
he big interests are getting control OF Alaska coal
hnds is legal and all right.
Federal Judge Rudkin OF Spokane UNDER THE
SAME LAW and in a SIMILAR CASE, DECIDES
HIST THE OPPOSITE.
To use plain words. Judge HanfordS decision
means that under the law what the people understand
Is coal land grabbing is perfectly legal
Judge Rudkns decision means that coal land grab
bng under this same law is illegal and is specifically
prohibited.
The people. through their government. brought
prosecutons against various persons, alleging that
they violated the law by getting control OF vast
e valuable coal lands.
The government mind you. went on the theory
that the people didn't want their coal lands gobbled mp
But here comes Judge who decides that that is
not what the people meant He decides that the law
only does not prohibit this gobblng process but
that it sanctions it,
And within week another judge with another
vewpont-a viewpoint closer to the peoples ideas
decides Just the opposite.
What the people to do about it Well. in the
hrst place get the right kind of Judges.
But the people can't always pick the right kind.
The people will make mistakes often.
Certainly There will always be some Judges
who will look through the eyes OF BIG BUSINESS.
There will always be some judges who can. under
ihe peoples laws. put PROPERTY RIGHTS above
HUMAN RIGHTS-who. in plain words. will DE
eide FOR DOLLARS INSTEAD OF FOR MEN.
But here's the remedy: IT'S THE RECALL
APPLIED TO JUDGES.
