Page, foreman of con struction on the city hall Tuesday morning. While walking over the second story joists on the huildimr. one of timbers gave way in some manner, urecipitntmir Mr. Pane to the ground floor. In falling he struck against a large spike which penetrated his left thieli. catisinir a deeply contused wound. His left shoulder was also dislocated as a re-' suit of the fall, and he was other-' wise btuised about the body. The nitirca man was removed to is' home on Modoc street suffering' great pain. Or. McChesney was at once summoned who reduced the fracture and dressed the wounds. 1 It is to be hotted that no serious results will follow and that Mr. I Page will be able to be around again u n lew days. 1 Al. L. IIOI.BROOK St. Johns Land Co, PHONE UNION 3104 The Largest ami Oldest Real Estate Firm in St. Johns. Scheme to Separate the Unwar From Mis Aoncy. One of the great frauds perpe trated upon the people is the sale of mining sock. Promoters of these mining schemes describe in glow iug terms the wonderful returns a few shares of their stock will bring to the investor in a short period of tune, rage after page of t tic daily papers and monthly tieriodicals are used in telling the public of the great good fortune they have in store for the dear people upon n de posit of a few paltry dollars to aid 111 developing their phenomenal dis covery, when in point of fact all the money that the public can be work ed for goes to line the pockets of tlie originators of the brilliant find. All the perquisites needed to form ulate a mining fake are a worn out or abandoned mine in a locality where gold has been lately found in paying quantities, a few names of rather prominent men to act ns of ficers for the fleecing game, and barrels of printers' ink. Of course these good people would not try to sell worthless stock to the American twople not they. Hut can you cite to one instance where a poor man ever got back as much as he ever put into one of those great ad vertised mining schemes, We opine not. It is not because the people do not one at these uoldeii baits. Not a city, not 11 town and scarcely 11 hamlet but what contains victims of these outrages. And it is not the ignorant class alone that make 1 spring for the hook. Intelligent udlVKluals in all other resiiects can not get the glitter of gold out of their eyes. There is an element of chance in every man's makeup, am 2. I.. ... .t I .1. ... . 11 in ui mis ciioru 111 me nature 01 man that the promoter makes his play. Couched in pursuasivc lan guage the golden woids vibrate and reverberate through the system of the nibbling one until he finally swallows bait and hook and tries to swallow the line. If n man takes time to size these projtositious up Iroin every point of view he cannot help hut know that when n great gold discovery is un earthed mid proven to be what it is claimed that capital pours into it from all sides with offers of finan cial assistance before it is asked. Wealthy syndicates have time and again sent e.cricured mining men to the various gold fields in tiueM of paying claims. A bona fide gold discovery never yet had to go beg giug for capital. There is too much idle money in the country waiting for paying investments to necessi tate calling Uxu the public for aid. We have heard of one company advertising only 525,000 worth of stock for sale and yet their adver tising bill alone was over 550,000. r.ven if by rare chance you did get into a paying ro)ositjou of this kind, how would you know you : were getting what was coming to ! your 100 many paid oinclais to stj dinging to the tiees as solid see that you don t and too much rel d as sweet and wholesome as in tape to unwind. midsummer, gross green nud grow- When you see these fakes adver- inir nnitillv mul tw-nnh. nori-lmt ;,. ocoooooooooxxaoox:,0": CKi6oooc6cCM!M!H!H!MVJ.!M!..!M?M''H'Mn,A using their schemes, hetter tie an their shirt sleeves.

In nine-tenths of the eases it's meiely 11 pandering to goldish cuiosity. People who never spoke to the deceased in their life, p.irade around the church, gap tit the form of the loved one, then go out of the presence of death, not to talk of the good deeds done in life, but to criticise the npiearaiice of the poor clav that death bus left fur duty I ; $ C E.

If we ate going on 11 long journey we do not make our adieus before a gaping crowd; we ought not to be exacted to sit in the house of mourning, while eoplc we never spoke to, who have no claim on us or our loved one, jostle each other in their desire to view the remains, and then get together nud gossip over what they saw or failed to see. We believe that the majority of the eople detest the painful funeral scenes as much as we do nud would be more than glad to see them ended, but are afraid to break the "custom."
