MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK.
And the Leon the Small Investor
Needs to Learn,
Tho advice of one of the largo banks
I of tlie country is that every one should
j Invest bis surplus, whether lur:e or
small, in dividend securities of tbu best
class, whether rollioud, real eaiate or
! farm mortgages or public utilities, for
I -To keep money Idle is a costly oper
ation." Let every reader of this article re
I member that with ns little as 15 or $10
I he can inuke Orst payment on the pur
! chase of a first class $100 bond. Let
: everv reader who has a few hundred
dollars to spare put It in a good $500
or $1,000 bond on the partial payment
plan, and let it earn something. Five
hundred dollars Invested in a 6 per
cent bond (with the income deposited
in a savings bank at 4 per cent) will
double itself In twelve years that is,
the $o00 will have become $1,000 in
that time. This $1,000 at 6 per cent
will earn $)0 a year or over $1 a week
for its possessor. Even at 5 per cent
it will double In fifteen years and at 4
per cent in eighteen years.
The lesson the small Investor wants
to learn Is Ibat his money is just as
good as that of the larger investor.
The foruu-0 has greater need of being
careful because he has less to spare.
Learn to be a careful Inveslor. The
first thing the careful buyer does if be
wants to buy a horse, a cow, a house
or a farm, a bond or a share of stock
is to make a careful investigation.
Schoolboys may swap the Jackknlves
they hold In their closed hands, but
grownup men ought to know better.
Tho humblest Investor can buy with as
great safely as the proudest, for both
can deal with the same bankers of
brokers In these days when small lots
are popular with firms of established
character. Leslie's Weekly.
VIOLATORS OF DRY LAW
One Clatskaine Pays One ' Hundred
Dollars ,
Sfi. Helens, Or. Feb. 7. -Durjng
the past week two violations of the
prohibition law were tried in the jus-
! tice court here. A man charged with
giving intoxicating liquor to a girl
admitted his guilt and was fined $100
and colts. The second case of a
young man at Globe charged with
maintaining a nuisance resulted in
a plea of guilty and o fine of $50
The sheriff poured into the Columbia
river about 10 gallons of whisky and
wines confiscated in the raid.
North Bend Paper is Closed '
Marshfield, IJpb. 7. Seven months
after the Pacific Coast Daily Tide
started business in North Bend the
constable placed an attachment on
the door of the office and put the
key in hist pocket. Action was
brought by the Wiestern Union Tele
graph company against the paper for
the collection of about $170 claimed
to be due for transmitting tele
graphic news. B. B. Weldy, the edi
tor and publisher, came here from
Montana, where he had published two
Ipapers. Garnishment! of 16 adver
tisers by the telegraph company real
ized only $20. The plant is covered
by a chattel mortgage.

BIRD ROOSTS.
Safety First as It Is Practiced by the
Feathered Tribes.
One of the best ways to prepare for
n long journey is to make a short one.
So we find that many birds, before
they embark on their great air voyage
which is to take them from their sum
mer to their wlnler home, first make
dally trips between their sleeping quar
ters and their feeding grounds.
This is the habit of our robin. Rob
ins raise two nnd sometimes three fam
illes In one season. When thd first
family leaves tho nest curly In .Time
It. is taken by tho father robin to some
dense, leafy growth of young trees to
pass the night. To this place they re
turn every night. Many other robins,
sometimes thousands of them, como to
tho same woods. Such resorts are
known as robin roosts. In (lying to
and from thorn tho young birds lenrn
how ta find their way.
Meanwhile mother robin Is patiently
sllllnrr on her blue oggs, from which
in about, tv.n weeks" rii:;e another little
family will appear. In two weeks
more they also will bo large enough to
leave the nest and can j!n their broth
ers and sisters in tho roust.
(Jrackles, or crow blackbirds, have
the same hnhit. But since they have
only one family or brood both the par
ent birds go to the roost with their
young.
Sometimes tho robins arc Joined by
the griK-kles and both by the European
starlings, which, brought to this coun
try and released in Central park, New
York, In 18110, have since becomo one
of the most abundant birds iu our mid.
die Atlantic states. Such a roost Is
visited nightly by many thousands of
birds. Frank M. Chapman In St. Nicholas.
St. Helens, Or. Feb. 7. The steam
er Celilo, owing to weather conditions
will remain in the Columbia river
this time longer than on . any trip
since she was built and began oper
ating between California and the
River. The snow and ice make the
loading of the vessel very difficult
and she is only half loaded thou eh
she has been working cargo for the
past three days. Ordinarily it takes
tnree days to load her cargo of 1,000
000 feet of lumber.
Hungarian Faces.
I have never seen such interesting
photographer's show windows as there
are in Budapest. Partly this is because
the photographers are good, but partly
it must lie In the Hungarians them
selves such vivid, interesting, uncon
ventional faces. These people look as
if they ought to do the acUug and
write the music and novels and plays
and paint the pictures for all the rest
of the world. If they haven't done so
It must be because, .along with their
natural talent, they have this indolence
and tendency to Hop and not push
things through. Arthur Ruhe In Col
lier's Weekly.
