1 am not loollsll HenOtughl to say that anil
a man has to do is to colme here and pick

in gold and silver are waiting for the

On the prairiesof Kansas lived a sturdy
yeoman, by the name of Dolan. Being
an energetic man he left his wife to run
the farm and he put out for New Mexico,
where he had heard such fabulous stories
of wealth and prosperity. For weeks
his wife did not hear from him, and last
August we found our hero and his pard
almost dead broke, and their mnthusiasm
rapidly waning. He thought of his lit
tle wife and children, and dreaded to
write to them that he had bad no lnuck.
