THE FABLE OF THE
BOOB WHO WAS ONE


Marmaduke Marshmallow was
a Boob. From his earliest days
he had Fallen for every Good
Thing that had ever come across
the Board. He invariably bought
Tides and pin cushions at the
church fair and when the Circus
. came to Town he would willingly
Bet the man with The Weighing
Scales that the Latter couldn't
guese his Weight. The fact that
Marmaduke always lost out,
didn't initiate against his Quail
fications as a Mark; Ono, not
a-tall, In his cellar he had the
Refrigerator propped up with
Two Gold Bricks that he had ac-
quired Early in his career, and
the bottom Drawer of the parlor
Bookcase was all stuffed up with
Shares of stock In The p. ID. s.
Railroad and Exploration Co. and
such. One Day, Smooth Slick
Sambo opened an office on the
Main street of the Town in which
y Marmaduke resided, and Offered
to Sell shares in a Nice Oil COM
pany. Marmaduke was the first
Boy In line the next A. M. when
the s. s. S. opened Up. He want
ed to Get in on the Ground Floor.
He Did. He bought 5000 shares
at a Nickel Share. He waited
a long time and Finally somebody
-Started to bore hole to find he
Oil Seven months after he
Bought the Stock, Marmaduke
had call from g. Gent who CT
fere6 him $4,000 cash for his
stock and Marmaduke regretfully
Parted with the Nice Green-ilk
Certificates and now you couldn't
sell him a $40 goldpiece for a
nickel. You see, his luck changed.
- THE MORAL:
Aw, what's the use? 1t DOES
happen sometime, even to Boobs!

THOUGHTFUL OF HER NEIGH
NORS, ANYWAY!

Truth Stranger Than FictiOn.

Fate continues to be tickle Jade
| and many real romances, happy or
| sad, continue 70 transpire. Out in
Kansas, near Turtle Rock, a farmer
whose heavy mortgage was due, was
wandering about the old home place
iii. state bordering on despair. BY
accident he turned over a stone and
| 10, there before his astonishod eyes
| lay nearly $1,000 worth of gold bull
! lion Had such a scene been put into
a novel it would have been regarded
| by critics as too improbable to pass
muster in this matter-of-fact age.
The $1,000 will pay off the mortgage
on the old farm and leave a hand
some surplus with which to furnish
the daughter of the family with a
suitable wedding outfit, and two
homesteads will blossom where only
one mortgage ridden home existed be-
fore.
Another western romance is more
pathetic. Six months ago Alberto
TerraZas was rated as one Of the
richest men in the world. He was
possessor OF millions of acres of land
in Mexico en- which were situated
cities, towns and villages, with
ranches, mines, banks. manufactur-
ing establishments, railroads, etc, of
incalcuable value, and all owned by
him or at least controlled by him and
his sons. He virtually owned the
whole state of Chihuahua, of which
he had been governor In his ands
was power greater tan that of any
other man in Mexico with the eX-
ception of DiaZ. Hundreds of thou
sands Of men and women lived on
his vast estates, constituting an army
of personal adherents. In every
financial capital OF the world the
name of Terrazas on a check made
It good for practically any amount.
The family reigned as hereditary, re-
siding in various palaces connected py
private railroads.
Almost in the twinkling Of an eye
this mighty financier saw his vast for
tune swept away-or at least, in the
hands of his enemies. Today he is
trying to rent little farm In South
ern California where he can go to
work and support his family. He is
to labor for his bread and butter, as
the lowliest peon on his plantations
did for him. The man who could
travel by railroad for three days with
out reaching the boundaries Of his
land possessions Will now cultivate
with his own hands half a
dozen acres. Yet strange to say,
he does not view the future
with dismay, but is chcerful'y pre-
pairing to work hard for a simple
livelihood. His wealth, which was
beyond the dreams Of avarice,"
vanished in a day, and now he stands !
among his fellows with his two hands
as his only working capital. Such de-
movements are unheard Of these days |
