No business house can know too

1t is a question whether or not the

ricultural Southwest. In certain lines
it may be possible to make the ex-
change a power, but in general lines
it appears that it will be a difficult

1t is possible for a dozen or more
stores to combine and do purchasing

pursued by a number of western con-

For that annoying rainy day.

When you have studied into 1t
And in a little while get rich
Without a single If or hitch.
You know a man who tried the turn
And didn't nave results to burn?
Did he, are you prepared to swear,
Directions follow to a hair?
To get the thing exactly right
You have to read it day and night
And get the little book by heart,
And then it should be safe to start.
Yes, it's as simple as car be
And sure to be a winner. See?

Blount's smile was as grim as any
that Gantry had ever seen on the face
of the Honorable David.
"My father is much more likely to
take sides with you, l am sorry to
say. No, Dick; you've got only one
man to fight, but you. mustn't forget
that his name also Is Blount. Go to

That's all for today. Goodby.'
Returning to his Office in Temple
court. Blount found that the morn
ing mail had been busy with him also.
There were three invitations from
widely separated cities in the state, all
based upon the newspaper reports Of
his Ophir speech, and the afternoon
mail brought three more.
1t was evident that the campaign Of
education had struck q popular chord,
and the young political manager saw
what a miraculous opportunity was
opening for the railroad if only the
powers" that Gantry had refused to
name could be broad enough and high
minded enough to seize it.
After that for three weeks Blount
scarcely saw his Office in the capital.
One appointment followed another in
rapid succession, and everywhere there
was a repetition of the welcome ex-
tended by the Ophir miners-a cordial
welcome, generous applause and kind
~ hospitality at every turn.
It was not until he was deep into, the
fourth week Of the hurryings to and
fro that he began to admit a suspicion
which grew like a juggler's ose when
he had once given it place. These in

Blount. "Here it is. You can do the

THE DIAz MESSAGE.

In his semi-annual message, sub
mitted at the opening Of the Mexican
Congress, Saturday President Diaz
advocated many reforms. This is note
worthy and significant of the great
unrest in the southern Republic for
in no previous message has there ever
been anything i'm the nature Of a rec
ommendation. The previous messages
of Diaz have been mere resumes of
things accomplished. The reforms now
urged by him are those demanded by
the Insurrectionists, and this fact en-
phasizes the strength Of the Rcvolu-
tiouists and the general growing de-
mand in Mexico for a much needed
new order of things in the conduct Of
the government. No recollection Of
president and ncumbents Of other
elective Offices Improvement Of the
judiciary; and the division Of great
