DIVIDE MINING SHARES
INTO THREE GROUPS
Mining stocks may be divided
roughly into three classes, says
the Engineering and Mining
Journal. In the lowest group
would be placed more or less
fraudulent promotions which
no one should buy for their
present or prospective inher
ent value. In the second class
would be included the vast
majority of speculative mining
stocks of companies that have
a chance to make good in a
big way; most of them fail ut
terly.
Such stocks are often worth
buying, but they are a fit spec
ulation for only a small part
of any ones’ funds and for
those who know the chances
they are taking and can af
ford it. In the third group are
the established and well-man
aged mines, most of which
have a dividend record and as- j
sured ore reserves. There is
little if any more risk in buy
ing these than in buying in
dustrial stocks.

YOU CAN’T RIDE
ON A GRUDGE.
Do you carry grudges? Cast
them aside. Your burden in
life is heavy enough without
them. Do you boast of your
grudges as a sign that you are
a free man? Don’t do it.
Though you may have creat
ed your grudges and though
you may feed them, they are
your masters. You may carry
your grudge uphill through
life, but it will carry you only
down.
How often we hear the voice
in the street in violent im
patience. Smith cries: “If
Jones is for it I am against it.’
Then Jones controls Smith’i
mind more firmly than if h<
were his closest friend. It is
not worth while to waste ear
energies and vitiate our minds
in hate and resentment. It is
right to hate evil, but merelj
pity evil men.
If you have been wronged,
forget. Why keep the injury
fresh? You suffered enough at
the time. Do you long for ic
venge or to “get even” with
some enemy, actual or imagi
nary? You but magnify h's
triumph. You continue his as
cendancy. You hypnotize your
self within his spell. Not one
time in ten does any one profit
in any manner whatsoever by
a desire to get even.
It doesn’t pay.
Many happinesses are shared
by the least fortunate of us,
and maify misfortunes befall
the happiest of us. None of us
can well afford to spend the
hours of retrospect and pros
pect in other than the happiest
memories and the brightest
hopes that charity and kind
ness can summon.

THE NEW MONEY.
Some outside banks and busi
ness houses are distributing
dips of paper showing the ex
act size of the new paper mon
ey that will be issued about
July 1. These bills, which are
-o be six and 5-16 inches by
two and 11-16 inches, will
eem surprisingly small to
oeople when they first get
them. A roll of bills will look
mall to those accustomed to
mch affluency when concen
trated in these little pieces of
oaper.
But there is no cause for
pessimism, for the new money
will go just as far. The small
er amount of fine paper re
turned to make those bills will
ave the government quite a
)it of money. The power of
}ld Dollar Bill is small today,
ompared with what he would
!o a few years ago, so he
hould cheerfully accept a di
minished size.
The countenance of Washing
on will shine forth in all its
ine inspiration from the face
A the dollar bill. Lucky pos
esssors of it should take time
to gaze at it frequently, and
ask themselves if they are
doing all they can to advance
the nation of which he was
the chief creator. Jefferson,
author of the* Declaration of
Independence and founder of
the Democratic party, will il
lustrate the two dollar bill, but
no Republican will refuse to
accept as many of these bills
as he can get. Lincoln will il
luminate the five dollar issue,
and every Democrat can well
argue that the man who rose
from a log cabin proves the
vitality of democratic prin
ciples.
Of the 11 great men whose
faces appear on the various
issues, each one gave his wis
dom and his life to build up
this country. So let us not for
get, as we pay out our money,
the men whose devotion made
it possible to earn the means
of living in this glorious land.

WHY BLAME THE CAT?
In the good old days when
grandma and grandpa were
young it was considered an ill
omen to have a black cat cross
one’s path. Doubtless many of
the dear old folk would ex
claim, “I told you so," if they
heard the story of John Coffey,
reported, from Muskogee, Ok
lahoma.
Apparently the black cat of
this tale crossed Farmer Cof
fey’s path at a very inoppor
tune moment. The farmer, in
attempting to light his pipe,
broke the match, which
dropped into a kerosene can.
An unfortunate accident for
the cat. The explosion that
came instantaneously ignited
the poor feline and it scam
| pered frantically for the barn,
j where it was consumed by
I flames along with the building
i and the hay stored in it.
I "A black cat—I told you so?
j * * * *yes, but why blame it
' on the cat? Why have an op
; en can of kerosene standing
about and why light a match
near such a can? Common
sense dictates that all inflam
mable and explosive liquids
should be kept in tightly
i closed metal containers and in
a safe place. The black cat
I from his happy hunting
grounds knows they are dan-i
gerous, and the National
' Board of Fire Underwriters
1 supplies figures showing that
(the annual fire loss from care
; less handling of petroleum
j and its products was over $14,-,
! 000,000 in 1926.—Exchange.

Just for Fun
-o
A low moral aim oft will hit
the dollar mark.
Its a trifle early to put up the
window screens.
Many people are able to beat
opportunity knocking.
Money may get a man into
trouble, but it is usually more
helpful in getting him out.
A girl may be proud of her
ability as a cook, but she does
not want to be admired for
that alone.
Snake-skin hosiery will be
popular we are told. Mere man
had better take a tip from
Adam.
The millennium will have
been reached when a law is
required to compel men to
stop working at quitting time.
He: “I surely like to take
ithese experienced girls home."
She: “Why, I’m no experi
enced girl.”
He: “Naw, and you ain’t
home yet.”
First Townsiter: “Better stay
away from that Hyder Garage
gas station. Yqur’re likely ’.o
get consumption.”
Second ditto: “How?”
“Say, didn’t you ever hear
about gas consumption?”
Grace—I did something last
night that I’d never done be
fore in my life.
Joyce—Gosh! I can’t imagine
what it was.
A: “When did the first
Scotchman learn to swim?”
B: “When the first toll bridge
w,as built.”
“Mummy,” said little Grace
seyiously, “I want to marry
Bobby.”
“Do you darling, and why?”
“’Cos his uncle’s just given
him a $5 gold piece.”
i “Make it short and snappy,”
cried the city editor. “Boil it
down.”
And when they handed the
new reporter the Ten Com
| mandments to try him out, he
wrote:
“Don’t.”
Even HU Teeth Are “Tight”
Doc—“That tooth must come
out and the charge will be
three dollars.”
Sandy—“How much will it be
to loosen it a little?”
You don’t have to make a
I better mouse trap now. Just
neglect to pay your install
ments on time, and see the
path that gets beaten to your
door.

out of.”
“Well, well, I’m honored,” said
the guest. “Is Bessie your sis

“Naw,” said Bobby, “Bessie’s

A minister was traveling, in
a railway coach with a man
who had apparently been on a
liquid diet. The latter kept ad
dressing the clerical traveler
with a noisy persistance, until
the minister goaded almost to
anger declared,: ■*
“I will not speak to you, my
man. You’re drunk.”
“Drunk?” Why man,” came *
the answer, “Ah’m no' as
drunk as you yerself.” “Yer
collar’s on the wrong way!”
We heard a certain Hyder
chap say that he eats salt on
grapefruit instead of sugar.
You try it.
