TWO ROADS
There *re two roads In life and we all travel one or the
other. I
One road Is made of mud. It has pitfalls and as you walk
along It yjiir feet sink in up to your shoe tops. It Is hard go
ing. Along this road you will meet the SPFNDTHRIFT and
the man ef CARELESS HABITS. IT LEAD3 TO FAILURE.
Conditions are different along the other road. Here you
meat the (.rosperous looking gentlemen. Walking is easy, be
cause the road Is smooth. It is paved with THOUGHTLUL
NESS and THRIFT. IT LEADS TO SUCCESS.
WHY NOT GET Ol'T ON THE SMOOTH ROAO?

bank. BUT BY ALL MEANS SAVE. ,

PISTACHE TREES IN AMERICA j
Experiment of Government Plant Bu
reau Seems Likjly to Prove a
Complete Success.
Plstache nuts, which are familiar to
lis chiefly Id confectionery and ss a
source of flavorings, are now produced
In considerable quantities In the Unit
ed States.
The largest and sturdiest trees that
grow In the deserts of the old world—
the Sahara, the arid slopes of the Eu
phrates valley In Asia Minor, and the
dry wastes of Beluchlstao and I'ersia—
itre wild pistaches. This fact suggested
to the Culted States government plant
bureau the Idea of Introducing the pls
tache Into our own Southwest. Seed
lings, grown In Its experimental g«r
'lens at Chlca. Cal., have been dis
tributed by thousands to fruit growers
In California. Texas, Ctah and else
where.
Seeds from old-world desert twee
uere obtained to furnish drought-resist
ing stocks; aud, for grafting and bud
ding the best varieties were brought
from Sicily, where the finest coltlrated
plstache nuts are produced. Aiso su
perior varieties were Imported from
Asia Minor, where pistaches are com
monly eaten roasted and salted, like
peanuts.
Find Gold Under FossIIsl
In Alaska the boaes, and often the
eutlre bodies, of extinct animals, such
as the mammoth, the mastodon, the
reindeer and the bison, are found
most abundantly In the layers of sail
directly above the gold-bearing gravels.
So Intimate Is this association between
fossil animal remains and the aurifer
ous deposits that many explorers who
have visited Alaska say that the foe
| slls serve the prospectors as Indexes
of the metallic richness of the soil.
I In ancient times both the gold and
j the bones and bodies of the animals
j were deposited at the bottom of valleys
I by the action of rivers and smaller
streams, many of which have now
| disappeared. Consequently, the ap
peuranee of fossils Is an almost certain
| Indication that gold will be found In
the neighborhood. The cabins of many
miners Hre ornameuted with huge tusks
