A THROUGH TICKET^
Via
Chicago, Milwauke &]St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding.behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful, in. all the
world— and that personal attention * which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service. •

SHUN THE SWINDLERS.
When Y«u Invest Veer Meney De Net
Bey a Oeld Brisk.
Swindling promoter* are shrewd.
Whenever Utey find any line at thSne
try phenomenally successful they Im
mediately organise fake companies and
print lurid literature telling of the won
derful prospects in tb!e line, of fortune#
that have been made in it and of the
opportunity they are giving to email In
vestors to secure s generous income.
So wo have had automobile, oil, min
ing, real saute, hotel, plantation, and
now there are several newer schemes,
in which the credulous public Is invited
to put all its loose change. „
Why doesn't the public realise that
in all these lines of business the eld,
well established and dividend paying
concerns offer the beet opportunities
for in vestment ? They never print lurid
literature, guaranteeing fortunes and
promising extravagant dividends They
are managed by men whose characters
put them above this, yet the public will
only bite on a bajt that la made ex
traordinarily attractive by promisee
Imitowdble of performance.
Hence the vogue of companies that
aell their shares aa low as 1 cent each.
The man with $10 who can buy a cer
tificate for 1,000 shares Jumps at the
promise held out to him that some day
his $10 may grow Into $10,000. To him
It is a lottery, nothing else. And when
he loses, as lie always does, he goes oul
on the street corner and denounces the
“sharks of Wall stret.”— Jas|>er in Les
lie’# Weekly.
UNGATHERED HONEY.
Billion* of Dollars’ Wyth Is Lost by
Waste Every Ysar.
An edltorUI in the Farm and Fire
side says:
The present centering of attention by
economists on food waste la showing
that one of the most unnecessary loss
es of a valuable food product is the
ungutbered nectar of flowers.
Speaking in a broad way. there are
few farms in America that do not an
nually produce several hundredweight
of honey over and above the honey re
quired to sitstuin the liee harvesters
of tills appetizing staple food product.
The farms on which the owners sys
tematically plan to save their honey at
present are less than one in a hundred.
On several million American farms
where this honey goes unharvested
year after year tills wastage aggregates
billions of dollars.
A .Minnesota scientific liee culturist.
Francis Jager. is authority for the
statement that 100 colonies of honey
bees suitably located and properly car
ed for can be expected to average a
net production of protit twice as greui
as that of the average Hit) acre farm
of his state can show, white the equip
ment and overhead are less. Of course
lot) colonies of bees cannot be pastur
ed on an average sized farm, but there
are Innumerable farms where a dozen
hivea of bees could gather $100 worth
of honey annually. ,
Th# Supreme Court.
For tbe supreme court of the United
Stales there 1* no exact precedent ei
ther hi the ancient or tbe modern times.
In making the great constitution the
"fathers" availed themselves of all
past knowledge and ex|ierlence. but i;
was probably from tbe French publi
cist Montesquieu that they got their
idea of tbe supreme court. In this
book. "The Spirit of the Laws." Mon
tesquieu, after making a masterly anal
ysis of all forms of government, uses
these words: "There Is no liberty If th"
judicial power be not separated from
the legislative and the executive.” The
framers of tbe constitution knew Mon
tesquieu's book well, and there is not
any room for doubt about their getting
the Idea of the supreme court from
that aource.—New York American.
Monkeys In Boota.
In tropical countries the natives have
many unique ways of catching mon
keys. One of them, as explained by
a traveler, la this: Tbe hunters walk
about in abort boots in sight of tbe
monkeys. Then they take tbe boots
off, place aome gum in tbe bottoms
and leave them on the ground, with
drawing themselves to a great dis
tance. Presently the monkeys come
down from tbe trees and try on tbe
boots, and when tbe hunters come aft
er theih the boots stick to the feet of
the monkeys, and they are unable to
climb. Thus the' imitative little ani
mals are captured.
Well Petted.
“I hear ysu are thinking of buying a
farm."
“That’s my intention," said tbe city
man, with a complacent air.
“Well, don’t forget the Importance of
silos."
“Trust me for that, air. bV the way
—er—do those things consume much
gasoline?"—Birmingham Age-Herald.
Didn’t Beund It
