X XTbe Crimea of poverty. X
The world has patience with the
Jmrderer. It sometimes lionizes the
fetaulter, and it will take the biga-
liiat Into Its arms, but it despises the
foot man The "friendly touch" is
ireaded more than the smallpox, and
3ie lard luck story is little brother to
Hie nightmare.
We are traveling on an commercial
*asia Our ideal is a capital "8" with
« conple of strokes drawn through it.
We have no place for poverty; we
®«*e no patience for the poor family.
K there is such a thing as fate, then
toor men are to be pitied, but thus
Air the evidence that there is fate is
Mighty slim and untenable. We are
«ll working on the hypothesis that
•pportunlty is the keynote of success.
Knt what is the matter with making
•pportunlty? After all, is not opportu-
nity the manufactured product of the
Ionian mind?
Rvery opening a man has is of ne-
eensity the result of some human en-
deavor. If many minds can creata
fcvorable circumstances, one mind can
treate them. Success is composed of
two elements—endeavor and intelli-
gent energy. The achievement of
jnccess is due to ability to grasp op-
portunities. The swimmer jumping
from the burning boat blesses the cool
waters of the lake and is glad he was
Jot fn a wreck on land. He who can-
not awlm despairs at what proves the
other's salvation. In other words,
what helps one sometimes retards an-
Bthcr. What makes a really intelli-
gent man poor is his inability to work
flong the right line. He requires a
Jtad of education he has not received.
The Impatience of his fellowmen Is
aot due to any real crime he has com-
mitted, but he has sinned agalnat com-
mercial standards.
AU men are not capable mechanics;
therefore, only a few can succeed in
Jho machine shops. Only a relative-
ly few can make a living in the pursuit
rf art. Fewer still do anything wor-
!4y through inventions. In short,
poverty too often comes through mis-
application of efforts
To talk Investment to the man who
£an not earn bread and butter, seems
it first thought, mockery, and yet his
poverty comes of his Inability to prop-
irty Invest his efforts and knowledge.
Life's successes are all investments,
fie who is capable of setting type
tarns his living because he has invest-
ed his time and energy In perfecting
himself at hla trade. The juggler in-
vest* his time and energy doing little
tricks that call for harmonious rela-
tion between hla muscular action and
time—in his "syncopation" as it were.
The world always pays "dividends" on
ability. Some philosopher once said
something like this; "If a man can
run faster than other men, If he can
paint bettor or write better than other
men, If he can chop wood better than
other men, even though he build his
house In a dense forest, the world will
find him and will wear a beaten path
to his door." Under modern methods
of life, whate.-er we do is an invest-
ment. We cannot get away from it.
Why should It be strange, therefore,
that we should turn toward that class
of investments that has to do with
mining, or the development of other
natural resources? It Is our duty to
make the subject of Investments a
serious study. We may not all be
able to Invest Just now—but must we
admit that we will never have a sur-
plus? Those who achieve things do
not do it by refusing to prepare for
the period of their success. That
preparation may seem thankless, and
it may bring no returns for a long
while, but thero comes a season when
it begins to draw "dividends."
The "crime of poverty" is not In
being poor, but In giving up the fight.
Life itself is an Investment; in a
word, a speculation. If the giving of
it can not be an investment, then it,
too, must be a speculation.
The study of investments Is the
logical pursuit of man. Investment Is
the proper utility of forces—whether
they are mental, financial or other.
Time, the pivot of all achievements,
should be conserved with as much
care as energy Itself Time Is what
gives to dividends of all kinds their
value. The time to begin, therefore,
is NOW!
MINING AS AN INVESTMENT.
Mining pays. Mining Is a business
that has built many millionaires; it
has made many others comfortably
wealthy, and to the hundreds of tho
sands It has returned much more than
the original Investment.
The following Is a partial list of the
mines that have made fortunes for
the stockholders;

In what way could this money have
been Invested to better advantage?
Let us take a look at the amount of
money earned pe' capita In the differ-
ent industries.
This report is for the year 1900.
In agriculture, the amount earned per
capita, was $297; In the forestry In-
dustry, $425; in manufacturing, $746;
and in mining it was $ J ,910.
In the face of these facts, can one
say that mining does not pay? Here
is a small list of what $100 invested in
mining in the last few years has earn-
ed:
In Butte and Boston In '96 Is
now worth $ 6,000
In Homestake In '98, Is now
worth 80,000
Boston and Montana In '98,
is now worth 1,860
Wolverine in '93, is now
worth 5,600
Copper Queen is now worth .. 80,000
Granite Mountain is now
worth 56,000
Tamarack in '90, is now worth 32,000
Home Copper in '99 is now
worth 8,500

There are thousands of other mines
In the United States that have done
equally as well.
Take the Crow's Nest Pass Coal
Co.'s stock, which was put on the mar-
ket in 1896 at 10c per share. $100
invested in that stock at that time
would be worth today $3,500,000, or
$350 per share.
Today the stock of the Western
Coal & Iron Co. is offered at 25c per
share, and their mines give every
promise of being equal to the Crow's
Nest Co.'s and without doubt will
make as much money for the investor
as did that company. Mr. Man, of
moderate means, can you afford to let
this opportunity go by without making
an investigation of the possibilities.
It may mean to you $25 will buy 100
shares that in a couple of years may
be worth as many thousands as you
have Invested dollars. If you are In
terested, drop me a card and I will call
on you and show you government re-
ports, etc., that will convince you that
it Is no fake, but a purely legitimate
enterprlsie.
Yours truly,
JAS. C. TARIO.

Man's Unreasonableness
Is often as great as woman's. But
Thos. S. Austin. Mgr. of the "Repub
llcan," of Leavenworth, Ind., was not
unreasonable, when he refused to al-
low the doctor to operate on his wife
for female trouble. "Instead," he j
says, "we concluded to try Electric
Bitters. My wife was then so sick
she could hardly leave her bed, and
five (5) physicians had failed to re-
lieve her. After taking Electric Bit-'
ters, she was perfectly cured, and
' can now perform all her household du-
ties." Guaranteed by the J. M. Reming-
ton Drug Co. , Price 50c. . •

YOU may as well get into the good clothes
gameatonce; we have the things that
will fit you for it. It's a game every man
ought to be in; but if you can't be right in it
you'd better keep out altogether.
The important point in wearing Hart
Schaffner & Marx clothes is--You're not only
right in clothes but you're sure of it; that's
what their name and label stands for.
It stands for correct style, for perfect fit,
for all-wool quality, without any danger of
the "mercerized cotton" cheat. Come and
see these suits and overcoats; we'll show you
the label--a small thing to look for, a big
thing to find.
