Unquestionably the most marvelous performer ever seen In the northwest will positively appear at Hedrlek's to morrow and will exhibit during the week. Cunning is i. jail-breaker with a record. His record Is that no jail, locks or chains can hold him. No matter how securely manacled, he mysteriously frees himself without as slstance, and no officer of the law has yet been able to detect his apparently superhuman ability to free himself from all restraints.

SUDDEN WEALTH NOT DESIRABLE The Reward of Welldoing Is of More Practical Value. Probably nothing Is more universally ;nd fervently desired by young men than the opportunity of falling Into sudden wealth. Tet as a fact, says The Comervial West, which history records (igain and again, falling Into sudden weaiin may oe as disastrous as any other fall. Because one doesn't land witn a Dump wnen he rails is no sure proof that he Is not hurt. The fly that fell Into a sudden barrel of mo lasses lighted without Jar and enjoyed It for a season. Sudden wealth Is un proven ground. It is full of bog holes and slime pits for the unseasoned man. The only safe way across the morass of wealth Is the solid road built by hard and slow degrees. Things are good only when worked for. What makes anything you own of lasting Interest to you? The life, the Interest ou put Into It. That's all. If you think that hlngs you have not earned can put life and Interest Into you, your philosophy is out of gear. Life comes from the inside out, not from the out side In. Life Is a spring, not a rain barrel. Good things are worth work ing for. The scripture says:, "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." But notice this, that the promise is to him that walks up rightly. Not to him that leans a lit tie over toward the left side, nor to the man who sits around waiting for sudden wealth to fall on him, or for the fates to push him into it It Is to him who walks and walks uprightly, with the ramrod of righteousness for a back bone. Good things six abreast go by the man who waits for sudden wealth, and he does not know them from ca lamities. The man walking uprightly meets them, knows them, chums with them 'because they are of his kind. They work together to make this world fit and One to live In- If everybody fell into sudden wealth all at once there wouldn't be upright men enough left In the world by next Christmas to run a mission Sunday school. The almost uni versal necessity of working for a liv ing is the richest thing in the world's economy, . : rTfT '-""T Saves Two From Death.
