Outlook for 1911 Good.

Business is good, thank you, and it
is growing better all the time. 70 be
sure, business is not running wild on
the main line with a speed crazed en-
gineer at the throttle. 1t ism It like a

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 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 logged spirit of res
ignation.
This is what many are doing, think

they are dreadfully mistaken. They
are simply getting into the rut, and the
rut growing deeper and pointing

BUT HE LEFT In PORTUGAL
GREAT TREASURES In
ROYAL VAULTS.
Now Makes Demand for Same Through
the British Government-Has Total
Valuation of $4,000, ooo-Inventory
Taken to Satisfy King Manuel and
Queen Amalie-Election in April.

Lisbon, Portugal-The minister of
public works has made an inspection
of the treasure chamber in the vaults
at the royal palace of Necessidades, in
which are deposited the crown jewels
and personal valuables belonging to the
deposed royal family.
In the inventory taken are a unique
table service of silver weighing more
than ton, King Manuel's crown and
scepter of solid gold and studded with
precious stones, and several blocks of
virgin gold, the largest weighing A
pounds.
The gem of the collection consists of
safe full of jewels, among which is
the diadem belonging to the queen
mother Amelia and a necklace given
her by her father, the Count of Paris.
The necklace is valued at 100000,
while all the contents of the treasure
chamber have an estimated value of
$3,000,00O.
The reason for this inventory is that
the British government informed the
Portuguese that King Manuel and
Queen Amalie desired to have posses
sion of their own jewelry. The minis
ter of finance authorized the statement
that all the valuables which are proved
to be the private property of the de
throned members of the royal family
will be returned to them.

dency of Mexico, on the same ticket
with Francisco L. Madero, the candidate
for president, said the provisional gov

gotiations of peace, except under the
condition that the delegates shall be
legally and full authorized with writ

public is more keen for summer amuse-
ments than ever before. Anticipating
the conditions, the management of Riv-
erview, considered the largest outdoor
amusement enterprise in the world, has
built up to the cravings of the crowds
Rverview is the only park in the world
that had the courage to put half mil
lion dollars in two spectacles such as the
Monitor and Merrimac" and Creation"
each of which leave impressions of glory
and splendor with the visitor never to be
forgotten. The Monitor and Merrimac"
is most realistic production of the IA
nous battle in Hampton Roads which
revolutionized naval warfare. "Crea-
ton" with beautiful electrical and scenic
effects and living tableaux, illustrates the
birth of the universe Each of these
spectacles is described by interesting and
impressive lectures. Another peculiar
feature about the amusement park idea
this summer is the demand for exciting
rides of the thriller" type Rverview
has more of these than any other park in
the world, and they are crowded with
riders all the time. Aside from all these
expensive shows and rides, Riverview
has one asset that other parks in Chicago
would pay thousands of dollars for
great acres and acres Of shady trees and
green grass. Riverview also employs
none but the best bands, which give con-
certs every afternoon and evening
