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.

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 azine. 4 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 ?" - Estray Taken Up.
