New York Worldly

the partisan man, not the man who

ents were German or English, but
who remembers first that the whole
destiny Of modern affairs centers
upon his being an American first Of
ALL" The American who remembers
that has remembered everything.

girl. sick and discouraged, who was
induced by glowing representations
to buy stock in a mining prospect in

purchased with hard-earned money
saved through skimping and self
denial. In the hopes of increasing
her mite she was, in an unguarded
moment led into this investment. She
has waited long. long time for some
returns, and despairing Of ever re-
ceiving even her money back she
writes a pathetic letter asking for in
formation. Now that property has an
excellent showing in the way Of ore,
and II developed. thoroughly the small
investment Of this working girl might
turn out to be a most fortunate one.
But the porperty has not been
worked for several years, and under
the circumstances the stock is with
out market value.
