int some of hc Instances that have come
i r.4cr our observation during the last ton

In 1903 we purchased a tract of land at
Twenty-fifth avenue and Fort street for
t'fn per acre. Two years later we pur-
iasod the corner of Twenty-Jpurtli and
Kort street. similar tract of land, at
ll,'i an acre, rhowlnv an lnerease In
value In two years of $410 per acre, These
irnrla were subdivided Into lota that sold
lrom JJIj I) $v rr lot. Today they are
re'llns; frvin t7".) to SI .200 per lot.
Ten year ago you could purchase, acrra
vest of Miller park for $..00 and S600 per
acre. Today many of them are worth aa
r.Uh as t2.0no per acre.
One year ago a tract of land lying; only
a few Mocks north of Twenty-fourth and
IVrt streets wn purchased for 11,260 per
a re. This was subdfl Ided Into lota and
told readily aa high aa 11,200 per lot.
Twenty-two yeara ago thla name tract of
Inrd. or the tract Immediately aouth of It.

these tracts of land that were purchased
ten years ago have all boen subdivided
li:to lots and are almost entirely built up,
Viit In order that anyono avail them
selves of this same opportunity they must
at this time go on the outskirts, which,
lrhapa, at times seems to he a hard
ship and too much self-denial.

In til early days It was a question as

day you are not taking- these chances.
The city Is steadily growing and anyone

they will receive a handsome profit. If
retained as a whole, or If they wait until

the profit of the Increase In the value,
and toilny thin acre of land Is probably
worth U.OiO to say nothing of tl Im
provements thereon. In other words, Mr.
Wallace Is today Independent and Uvea In
comfort with beautiful surrounding. It
I a trent to talk with him and rj-e. how
dearly he loves his yeterdaya, even
thouph they were at times very trying.
A a Example of fialn.
There are only a few of our wealthiest
rllitom who can nfford to purchase Inrge
tracts' of land where they desire them
and make It their home. To Illustrate
how fsr-alRhled men of means ore, you
have only to take "Fairaeree," that
benutlfijl subdivision on West Hodge,
street, as an maini'lo.' A few years ago
when this land was placed on the mar
ket, many of cur best business men real
ised the beautiful location and what the
future was snd took advantago of the
opportunity to buy one to five acres of
land; and while some have todav ererted
beautiful homes and are llvl there,
others are landscaping and developing
to the highest form their holdings In or
der that In the near future, when street
car service and other convenleneea are
Installed, that they may heva a large
sWjIece of land to live on. This develop-
trent has caused in advance of from ITOO
to S00 ner ace. original purchase price,
to from S2,0(V) to SJ.000 per acre.
Where can anyone make a more hand
some profit than t buy suburban acre
agi? There are. If space would allow,
many other Instances, and locations, that
might be mentioned in regard to quick
sdvancement In values, out t3 the think
ing public it is only necessary to call
attention to the existing conditions In an
acre near Omaha to have them appreci
ate the rahte and growth of our city, and
the advantage of Investing In close-in
acreagb well located.
Locating- the Trouble.
The floorwalker said to the manager
of the shoe department:
"I had the doagondest time with my
furnace this-mornlng."
"What was wrong with UT"
"I couldn't get a Mt of heat In the din
ing room, and I couldn't understand It."
"What did you do?"
"I went down Into the collar and took
off a part of the pipe, but that was all
right." ,
"Huh!" .
."And then I examined the check damper
and that was all right."
Well!"
"Then I looked at the draft and that
was all right." 1 .
"Well, well!" '
"Finally, after working about an hour
I found out what the trouble was."
"What was It?"
"The dining room register was turned
off." I-oulsvltle Times.

"The work of careful estimating of

All these prayers that, precede the. de
parture of armies pale Into Insignificance
when compared with the few stirring
words that Shakespeare wrung from tha
heart of Henry V. You recall them:
O God of battles! steel my soldiers'
hearts!
Possess them not with fear; take from
them now
The sense of reckoning. If th' oppos'd
numbers
Pluck their hearts from them!
That was strong stuff.

dusted off Ills knees he went out and won

history to say nothing, of a deathless
play. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
