THE PROSPECTOR
AND HIS BURRO.
(Salt Lake Mining Review.)
"WWn a man puts an iron dollar
on a number at the roulette Wheel,”
«aid the prospector to his burro,
“and when he coppers the ace to win
at the faro table he is speculating,
although there are those who are so
narrow-minded as to say that the
man is a gambler. A man may take
a chance at a drawing for a gold
watch or for a hair bridle. You may
call this gambling, but, in reality, it
is only a speculation. The farmer
sows his grain in the spring. He
expects a harvest in the fall; but he
is likely to be disappointed, for too
I much rain or too long, a dry spell
j may ruin his crop. Al 3 a matter of
I fact, he is taking a chance, and is
gambling with providence. Another
1 man may invest in mining stocks.
'He is willing to take a chance on
j what some others might term a
gamble, or a speculation. It may
j seem strange to you to have these
' seemingly ’common pursuits designed
as a chance, as a gamble, or as a
I speculation. But, everything in life
j is a chance, a gamble or a specula
tion, everything but taxes and death;
I and it is a big gamble, a speculation
j or a chance if Taft will ever see the
I inside of the White House again af
-1 ter March 4th next. A man takes a
I chance in mining, although not as
•great a one as if he were engaged
in fawning, real estate, or in. the
i publication of a mining journal. The
j purchase of mining stock, even, is
I attended with an element of chance,
although I have known of people who
have taken this chance who now
■ own. brown stone fronts and who
'ride around the country in six-cylin
der choo-choo wagons; and I can as
sure you, from personal experience,
that a man who dips into mining
I stocks, once in a while, has a good
chance to pull down a big bunch of
j the long green when a fortune is
I least expected.
| “I want to tell you. Old Long
Ears,” concluded the prospector,”
, “No man will ever make a success
iln life unless he takes a chance. The
baby will never learn to walk unless
■ he takes the risk of a fall. You can
not know if the girl of your choice
will have you unless you chance the
risk of a refusal by proposing; and
no one can benefit by the advance
that may be made in any of the
many lines of stock offered on the
board unless he has had the courage
to buy a little of tt while being sold
for a song that you can almost sing
for yourself. To succeed in life
must gamble a little, one must take
a chance, and one must be willing
to speculate once in a while; and
there you are, and then, some.”
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Aaiger celebrat
ed the 30th anniversary of their
wedding at their home yesterday. All
the members of the family were as
sembled for the occasion .and the af
fair was a thoroughly enjoyable one.
We suppose there is such a thing
as a “blown-in-the-bottle” prohibition
ist.
| A man never likes to be bought for
a good price and then given away.
Money talks—and carries a mes
sage of good cheer to the poor and
needy.
Don’t test the friendship of your
acquaintances by boring them with
your troubles.
It is claimed that of every 1,000
people 80 are blind by nature. Of the
balance 200 are blind partisans, 800
can’t see their own faults and the
remaining 100 don’t use their eyes.
Folks who don’t go to church be
cause the pews are too narrow can’t
have their braina where they sit
down, or they wouldn’t be inconven
ienced by narrow pews.
A Business Proposition
DM jm era
Mop to think,
A Mr. Bunneii
Man, that the
news of your
business is as
much a part
of the local
events as
wedding or a
church fair?
M B The ladies
” are Just n
much interested in a new fabric
you have on the shelve* as they are
b any heme happening. Your store
news and tnoun. cments in these
columns will reach a large circle of
eager buyers. This will enable you
to Mil your goods while they are
new and fresn and you will not
have to sacrifice later at remnant
counter prices. Think It over.

FEW LITTLE
SMILES
Her Hat.
Apropos the latest foreign limou
sine—the limousine with a roof that
slides back for aviation meetings—
Frank Coffyn, of hydroplane fame, said
the other day In New York:
“This car reminds me of a conver
sation I overheard between two girls.
" Tt was an awfully smart crowd at
the flying,’ said the first girl. *1 saw
some awfully nice folks.’
’“And who flew 7’ the second in
quired.
‘“Don’t ask me!’ said the first girl.
’Do you think I was going to take off
my new hat Just to see a lot of aero
planes V ”
Was Good for Murderer.
"You ought to bo glad that you will
be electrified instead of hanged,” said
a prison visitor to a convicted mur
derer.
“Why?” asked the felon, In surprise.
"You suffer greatly from rheuma
tism, don’t you?”
"Yes.”
"Well, electricity Is the best known
remedy for that.”—Epoch.
Coal Supply.
"The coal supply of the earth Is
limited,” said the scientist. “No one
can say how long it will last”
“Great 6co.t!” exclaimed fhe man in
the back row. “And here we’ve gone
and wasted more’n a sack of it heatin'
the hall for this lecture!”
Another Matter.
"According to this newspaper, a man
has gotten a divorce from his spirit
■wife.”
“Oh, bosh! There’a no such thing
aa a spirit wife.”
“Walt a bit. I was mistaken. Th«
adjective is ‘spirituous.’ ”
