SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
It has been brought to our attention that it is the
opinion of some that we are endorsing "wildcat" schemes
owing to the fact that we had placed on our map which we
have printed on our literature, the names of places not in
existence except in the imaginations of the promoters. We
did this to save answering inquiries as lo the location of
said places. We may say, however, that we do not
recommend or endorse any scheme which by misleading or
exaggerated advertising seeks to obtain the money of
investors quickly by misrepresenting the facts, but recom
mend nothing to prospective buyers except such proposi
tions as we know to be absolutely reliable. We have not
sold, nor do we wish to sell any lots or property in anyplace
or townsite that cannot bear the closest investigation, and up
to the present no townsite has been projected which, on
present showing, we could thoroughly recommend to our
patrons.

,WH0 WAS WRONG?
A Lawyer's Opinion en a Lsats and a
Court's Decision. J
Some years ago an attorney was
called in by a large company and
handed a lease.
"Give us your opinion," said the
president. ''We have a great deal
of this sort of legal business, and it
is only fair to say that your opinion
may mean much to us and to your
self." The lawyer went through the
document with some care, but quick
ly and on the spot.
'Urn will you tell me what firm
drew up this instrument V he asked
at length.
"No firm at all," was the reply.
"For five years we have drawn every
lease made by our company right in
this ollice. Ify subordinate here,
Mr. Johns, is the only man we have
ever found who thoroughly under
stands the complications and condi
tions of such transactions as we en
ter into."
The attorney's face brightened.
"This is one of the best drawn
leases I have ever examined," he
said heartily. "You are wise to
handle such matters inside your own
organization. I commend your busi
ness judgment."
"Can you suggest any improvements?"
"Xone whatever," declared tho
lawyer.
"Can you discern any flaws?"
"Xo emphatically 1 Mr. Johns,"
continued the attorney, turning to
the president's assistant, "I want to
congratulate you, as a lawyer, upon
your thorough grasp of this most
difficult branch. In my opinion this
instrument is unassailable. It will
hold iu the highest court of this
state."
"That is what we want your
honest opinion," said the president.
"You have given it, and we are
much obliged to you and shall be
pleased to have a bill for your serv
ice. My dear sir, the highest court
in the state declared this lease null
and void last week, and we lost a
$10,000 suit upon it 1" Circle Mag

Poet and Creditor.
A Taris contemporary tells this
story about Joseph Mery, tho
French poet : A creditor called one
"morning early to ask payment of an
account, lie interviewed the poet
in bed and expressed sorrow at hav
inp: to trouble him, but would he
settle tho account. "With pleasure,"
replied Mery. "Have the goodness
to open the first drawer of that cab
inet." "I have, sir," replied tho
creditor, "but there is nothing
there." "Indeed? Well, try the
next." "There is nothing in it."
"That is strange. Try tho third."
"There is nothing in there either."
"Look on the mantelshelf." "But
it is the same as the drawers." "It
ia increditable. Have you looked
on tho table?" "Yes." "And in
the secretaire ?" "Yes, and there is
nothing." "In my clothes ?" "Yes;
I have turned out all tho pockets."
"Ah, well," replied Mery, with the
greatest composure, "if there is no
money in the drawers or on the
mantel or on the table or in tho sec
retaire or in my pockets, how in the
name of all that's wonderful can I
give you anything ?" -
