Hertie trudeed back and forth from
the box factory where she earned Just
enough to pay for the little, cold bed.
room. the scanry meals and the chear
clothes, which were necessary to ex.
istence. Her hours were long and her
pleasures few. Was it any wonder she
went when she could to the nickel
movies. and reveled in the delights Of
another world than hers? Even when
the films did touch her own world, and
the poor working girl was lured away
into perilous paths. she so often was
rescued by handsome young men, or
kind, rich women that she lived hap
PLY ever afterward." Hetde shrank
from entering the paths Of vice. The
movies had done much for her In the
way Of warning. more perhaps than
many sermons might have done. But
she was only seventeen. and she
wanted some Of the good things, some
thing Of the JOY Of life. She did not
want to suffer the horrors that hap
pened to the screen heroines, but she
did want to be rescued"
II only some rich woman would
adopt her. That was the dream that
became her constant companion. II
had happened TO these other girls quite
frequently. why not to her? The hand
some young hero seemed such a remote
possibility. that the probability Of BE-
Ing adopted appeared to be q great
deal more likely to happen. In hes
prayers for the latter boon Hett1e had
especially stipulated that the woman
must be rich, for to be adopted BY .

Il Was Too Bio,

At Mount Pleasant, Tex, q colored
man came into the public telephone Of
Zee and insisted that some one should
talk for him. Upon being told that he
would have to do his own talking he
approached the telephone, took down
the receiver and, after turning it over
two or three times and examining 1t
carefully, said: BOSS, All don't believe

Writer. Of ~Home, Sweet Home.

The words of the popular song.
Home, Sweet Home" were written
By John Howard Payne. an American
rowing actor, who was born In New
York, 1791, and died In Africa in 1852,
and never had much Of q home any
where. The music was written BY Sir
Henry Bishop. an English composer,
born In 1855 and died in 1855, who In
corporated the song in an opera en-.
titled ''Clari." The song was popular
In England before 1t was ever heard
In the United States.

Texas Once Was Laroer.

Before its annexation to the United
States. in 1916, Texas was an indie
pendent republic with much larger
area than the present state, though 1t
is still the largest state in the Union.
Its area as republic was $40, 1853
square miles. In 1850 the state ceded
to the United States all territory be-
yond its present limits Of 274,356
square miles, in consideration Of $10.-
100000 in bonds, with the proceeds Of
which Texas paid of her state debt.

The Safety and Profit of Legitimate Mining

1000 shares in Tamarack, pays $6,- 900 annually.
 1000 shares in the Calumet or Hec- la pays $S3,OOO annually.
 1000 shares in the Alaska-Tread- well pays s1 800 annually.
 And so on. I might mention hun dreds of others which have done just as well, and some better.
 What Is Legitimate Mining?
 It is buying the virgin mining ground in the mining districts, where the ground has been proven and the ore is known to exist and then develop ing that ground under the supervision of an experienced mining man and blocking out your ore-and when you have sufficient ore in sight blocked out, erect a mill suitable to your ore and your location, and then put the ore through your mill, just as you would thresh your wheat or shell your corn.
 You can buy this virgin ground through an honest broker or promoter by buying stock in some good pros pect which he is developing and offer ing to sell a limited amount of treas ury stock at a nominal price.
 Cecil Rhodes
 One of the greatest mining mag mates of the age, said:
 q speak advisedly, and say what
The Coconino sun., 1917-01-26

every man who has investigated knows to be the truth, that less money is lost approximately in mining than in any other business in the world, and larger fortunes are made in min ing and in the investment of mining stocks than any business or any in vestment on earth"
 It Stands Competition
 The Mining Record" a leading fin ancial journal of the West, says:
 "That gold mining is the backbone of the business structure. It is the on- ly business not affected by trusts, competition, rivalry, the laws of sup ply and demand, limited markets, hard times, financial panics, storms, droughts, floods and fires.
 "It is the one industry where the customer seeks the producer, where there is no fear of over-production, no hunting for customers, no decline in values"
 Yes, mining pays, pays better than any other business on earth. It is laudable, commendable, and takes not a sou from any other man. It increases the commodity so much sought and needed. It adds to the assets of our circulation medium. Mining possesses features that commend it as being superior to every other calling or any other industry in its certainty of big dividends.
The Coconino sun., 1917-01-26
Mining Today Is a Science

Mining Today Is Science
 New inventions have made is pos sible to extract millions of dollars from waste heaps of ore, that hereto fore were considered worthless.
 Mining has become today as much a regular industry as the manufactur- ing of furniture, jewelry, dry goods, boots and shoes.
 The brightest minds in the world are solving it's scientific problems.
 The best engineers in the country are studying more economical methods of handling the ore; while the rail- roads are hastening to build their lines into all the camps and help in the development of this great industry.
 No single business, as mining, of fers so many avenues of safety and profit. No! Legitimate mining is not a failure. It is the greatest success of any business in the world. No other business has ever shown such results. It does not have a peer. Not only that, but the mining of gold, sil- yer and copper is pursuit that is founded upon the rock of ages, and is the most honorable of all trades and callings.
 The unparalled prosperity of the mining industry at the present time has caused widespread public atten- tion. Fortunes are to be obtained by following mining and investing in
The Coconino sun., 1917-01-26

stocks, and the business men of today are realizing this fact and profiting by it as in no other period of our his tory.
 Mining has been reduced to busi- ness and science.
 As much money yearly is invested in banking as in mining, yet the for mer never exceeds 8 per cent in divi- dends, whilst the latter runs as high as 800 per cent.
 The Millionaires in the United States
 Alone
 We may call the roll of the Mack eys, the fields, the Sharons, the Fairs, the Clarks, the Hearsts, the Crockers, the Haggins, the Stanfords, the Strattons and numerous others list of which would tire you to read who have made their millions from mining the precious metals, and yet who is there to rise up and complain that they have been robbed by them Can the same be said of the bankers, the railroads, the corn and wheat brokers, the industrial and trust com binations?
 To prove that mining stock invest ments pay, that they are safe, that they are more than ordinarily profit able, note the following, as taken from various authorities:
 1000 shares in the Homestake, South Dakota, pays $6,000 annually.
The Coconino sun., 1917-01-26

It pays better than any other busi- ness. It is safer than any other busi- ness. 1t gives the largest returns for the least money invested. A leading financial journal makes the statement that in mining there is profit of 300 per cent, with 35 per cent. failures, while manufacturing ranges from 10 to 25 per cent. profit, with failures 95 per cent.
 The statistics of fifty mining com panies in one state, with a combined capital of $46,0O0, 900, shows the fol- lowing results:
 Dividends paid, $2O,OOO, 900; origin al investment by stockholders, $7,000,- 900; returned to stockholders on par value, over 43 per cent; returned to stock holders on original investment; over 300 per cent.
 The Utah mines alone since 1867 have produced $325, ,0OO,0 900. Since 1874 South Dakota has produced from her gold mines alone $225, 100000.
 Mining Dividends Compared with
 Banking and Railroads
 "The dividends paid by gold and silver mines are greater than the divi- dends paid by all the banks in this country; and the dividends paid by copper mines alone are greater than the dividends paid by all the railroads of the country"
 The National Banker.
