Business is good, thank you, and it
is growing better all the time. To be
sure, business is not running wild on
the main line with a speed crazed en-
gineer at the throttle. 1t isn't like
runaway horse which has taken the bit
between his teeth and is dashing blind
ly into the numerous dangers ahead. 1t
hash t all the wOrkmen busily employed
in a hectic fever of hustle and hurry
Even all he bells are no on fas pulleys;
and we are willing admit that some
factories are running on short time, and
that here and there a mill is idle, says
Southern Merchant
Your business may be dull, and you
may hear discouraging news, and from
that may draw the incorrect conclusion
that the country is dull. And then
you may perhaps relax your efforts and
settle down into a logged spirit of res
ignation.
This is what many are doing, think
ing they are doing the right thing, but
they are dreadfully mistaken. They
are simply getting into the rut, and the
rut growing deeper and pointing
straight to the chute.
The fact is, that while business ism Z
here with a rush, and a whooping, we
are glad it is not-yet it is far above
the normal, and prosperity is very much
abroad in all the wide land. A hun
dred million people are getting hun
I CRY three times day and paying good
prices for the best things they can get
to eat.
The same number are singing, Man
wants but little here below, and Their
buying all sorts of things as fast as
they can get the money to spend. Rail
roads, trolleys, telephones, steamboats,
automobiles are employing millions Of
people and paying out vast sums foi
supplies which give profitable employ
ment to millions of others.
Three thousand emigrants are com
ing every day, and the stork is bring

Yes, business is good; it is slowl.

are pushing their business, developing
it, making money, getting rich, smil
ing all the day. Join the merry throng

Valuable Phosphate Beds.

Phosphate beds, believed to be of
great commercial value, have been dis
covered in western Montana, according
to a bulletin from the United States
geological survey.
The deposits are on public lands near
Butte, Mont, which have been with
drawn from entry pending congressional
legislation as to their control and dis
position. Rock phosphate hitherto was
not believed to be present in Montana,
and it was only in the classification of
certain land by the geological survey
to determine whether they were of a
mineral or nonmineral character that
the area was located.
As it was not considered desirable to
call public attention to the fact before
the government had opportunity to
withdraw from entry these lands no de
tailed prospecting has been done. The
geological survey believes that the area
is large, and it is thought that the bed
may be five or six feet thick.
H. S. Gale, who has written a pam
phlet soon to be issued by the geological
survey, says of the deposit that they
g are almost, if not quite, identical will
those occurring in the great phosphate
fields couple Of hundred miles to the
south, where the beds have a workable
thickness of four and a half to si1
feet.'
1t is the hope of the survey officials
that large areas outside of that actual
ly examined by Mr.. Gale may be un
derlain with phosphate. The possible
tonnage, therefore, may be large, as 1
square mile underlain with a three-foo
bed of phosphate would contain abou
6 76O. 600 tons

BOY KIDNAPS HIMSELF
f4YEAR-oLD JERSEY LAD HAS AN
EASY MONEY PLAN.
After Boy Twice Gets Ransom His
Father Pays TO Release Him From
Ferocious Black Hand Bandits, the
Youngster is Caught In Trap.

White Horse. n. Johnny" Elder.
14-year-old son of Joseph Elder, has
been envied by the boys in this neigh
borhood for the last few months be
cause Of the notoriety he received
when two supposed attempts were
made to kidnap him and owing tc
the large amount of money he was
able to exhibit. Now, however. the
tables are turned because of several
severe spankings and public knowl
edge Of the fact that Johnny success.
fully kidnapped" himself twice, re
ceiving ransoms on both occasions.
The boy was making a third effort
to make his family believe he was in
the hands of bandits or Black Hand
ers when he was discovered.
About six months ago Johnny" dis
appeared and his father found this
note pinned to the front door of his
home:
we hav kidnap you boy John and
we will xii him if yer donnt put fifty
dallars in tn back shed for us to-
night"
Mr.. Elder was so badly frightened
that he believed the best policy to
pursue was to leave the money in the
shed and keep the affair to himself I'M
til the boy was returned. He was
even afraid to go near the shed after
he left the money there, thinking, per
haps, his presence might brighten the
kidnapers and prevent the return of
his son. He found the money gone
next morning and a few hours later
johnny appeared with a tale that
would have made Diamond Dick
blush.
Mr.. Elder believed the story, which
was that the youngster had been car
ried away by three giant-like men
who tortured him, threatened to burn
him at the stake and then tied him to
the limb of a great tree over night.
The boy was unable to tell where
he had been taken or give a good de
scription of the alleged kidnapers. He
found himself a hero and was delight
ed at the treatment accorded him by
relatives and the boys and girls OF
the village.
Johnny disappeared two months
later, and the father again found {

door This time the amount asked

TURNS TO THE PEOPLE
Canadian Parliament Dissolved and
Upon Political Complexion Of New
One Depends Fate Of Reciprocity.

Ottawa, Ont.-The eleventh parlia'
ment of Canada passed out OF exist
ence on Saturday and upon the politi-
cal complexion Of a new n to be
elected September Fl will depend the
fate of the reciprocity agreement be
tween the United States and Canada.
Premier Laurier decided to ask for
an immediate dissolution at a meeting
of his cabinet. and at once notified
Earl Grey. governor general. A short
time later a special issue OF the Of
fetal gazette was printed, containing
the formal announcement and giving
legal effect to the edict.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his minis
tiers will take the stump and conduct
platform campaigns in all provinces.
Should the present liberal govern
be returned with anything like
working majority it will mean that
a vote can be taken on the reciprocity
and that the trade agree
ment will 60 into effect. A conserva-
tive victory at the polls means the
of the Laurier government
and the parliament shelving of the re-
ciprocity agreement.
