ROUGH RIDERS (Continued from Page One) when penned in an out-houae, they discovered a bunch of raw tender- ( feet, whom they proposed to initiate JnU the rites and mysteries of their cult, with all due proper J- eeremonie-. ■ fAlas, the poor tenderfoot! They sat huddled up together, striving to cheer and comfort one another, as brothers in distress do, while . occasionally a heartless Rough k- Rider, joined in the conversation with some very graphic description of the horrors awaiting them in the Council Chamber. The fate of the tenderfoot was soon determined, and they were led into the Hall of Horrors. Roy K. Darby occupied .the throne of the Grand American. No mercy reflected itself upon his chiselled features, as he admonish- , ed the poor trembling tenderfeet, and warned them of the fate impending. 1 ! Dr. J. Thomley Hughes officiated ! as Welcome Shake. The was absolutely -no question about the welcome he extended to the shrink-! ing tenderfeet; welcome dripped down from his eyes in glistening globules, while his "shaking" proclarities, were sufficient to convert a marble tombstone, into a full-, fledged "Shaker." Cheerful Guide Lear sat, the presiding genius of the Cave of the Winds. Bottled thunders, pickled lightning, canned hurricanes, and pulverised earthquakes in his hand, what mortal man | could stand the fury of his rage. Wherever his footsteps wander- ( ed, he left a .trail of sulphurous , fume,, behind, and an odor rem- ! inlscent of the Chamel house. | Caleb Collins, acted in the capacity of Chief of the Harmony ( Guards. No question about it, 1 perfect harmony and concord reigned among the guards, in their L: deterrt::i.ation to give the wil taring terderfeet "ail that was coning 1 ' ■ to them." j Km .ing before the chair of j 1 . the -High Pangenorum, the poor j tender-; jet had their first taste of , what was "coming to them." ; It was observed, that one of the - tenderfeet did not sit very comfor- ; : tably upon the penitent forin. He j may have sat down of course, - " upon a nest af_. the Cheerful Guide's hornets. At all events he got up in truly acrobatic stiye,'! and was only restrained by force, ' it would appear, from indulging in : ' | a few measures of the Tarantella Dance. Welcome Shake, demonstrated his marksmanship in a very strik- ' ing manner, especially on the splurf range. j It should be added however that j the Rough Riders are good sports. - Each Tenderfoot was given a gun, 1 with which to defend himself 5 against Welcome Shake, and the end of the duel might have been different, if they could have pre- ] vented their weapons from "hack- ( striking." jl However, it was when the poor , tenderfeet, were led down into the , bleak and barren Valley of the - Fragrant Skull, were baptised with . Otto do Morgue, and made to « kneel upon about a million Hashes l \ of forked lightning, that the full measure of tragedy fell upon the , [ luckless heads of the tenderfeet. r In aepuchral tones, the Grand t

American repeated the solemn words ,of the oath and obligation. One clause there was in the obligation however, relative to the salubrity of a certain part of their V i attire, which many fear, they "" broke and .transgressed, before the t- rits of full initiation were complet- .: sed. rj Weil and long did one tender-: (foot pause, before he tested the1 y content} of the witch's caudron. g In fact it required some gentle r, ! persuasion before he would essay e .the feat. h When finally the rites and the R tenderfeet were admitted into the n cult, the Rough Riders proved themselves to be a wonderful fels' lowship, good fellows ail, and e Americans of the highet order of ! patriotism.

I Without question, the one real, j i and economical street, was an as- ! phait on concrete. Referring to 8 1 Fourth Street, Mr. Collisson stated .'! the Commissioners bad been led lo g include it in the present program r ' of improvements, because to ' all indications Jt seemed in the near future to become one of the main arteries of the dty. Finally, after giving ample opportunity to -any present who j . might wish to express their views upon the question, the City Com-' missioners dedded to adjourn the hearing, until the following Mon-, day afternoon, at the usual hour, jl 1

ARE YOU AN 'I-KNEW-WHEN" MAN? In speaking of the present values of land in Atlantic City and Ventnor, you often hear some one remark: "I know when I could have bought that lot for $100, and now it is selling for $10,000." He is an "I knew when" man. He will tell you that if he had bought years ago when land was cheap, that he would have been a rich man now. And yet, if he had the same chance to make money now by investing in real estate at ;a low price, he would refuse, because he has no foresight, faith or nerve to invest. Old Man Opportunity offers to shake hands with him, but nothing doing. The Man Who Does Things Is the man of vision, foresight and ability, when he learns that land is selling at a low price, he is the first on the ground to invest, not waiting until the prices rise, but he gets in on the ground floor just as soon as the lots are first placed on themarket? He is the wise man. This is the kind of men you find with fat bank accounts. They do not sit icily by bemoaning their fate that there is no chance any more to make money in real estate. There are just as many golden opportunities to make fortunes in real estate now as there were years ago. $20 a Ft. for Ocean City Lots Would you believe this? It sounds so cheap as to be almost unbelievable. And yet this is just what is asked for lots on the McLaughlan-Conover tract in Ocean City Gardens, the beauty spot of Ocean City. A year or so from now When Ocean City Gardens is built, up with handsome homes, like Ventnor is now, you will be able to say: 1 Made a Lot of Money Here When Ocean City Gardens was a barren waste, some friends prevailed on me to buy a few lots there. I was able to buy • them for $600 each, being only $20 a foot. And now look at the way prices have soared. Suppose These Lots Advanced in a Year To $2000 each. You will say now that it is impossible. But is it? We do not say that they will sell for that price in a year from now, but the possibilities of values increasing to such figures, come in the bounds of probabilities. Look up the records of Atlantic , City, Ventnor and Margate. Lots there were selling for $1000 only two years ago, which are selling to-day for $3000 and $4000, Compare the prices of the lots on the Mc-Laughlan-Conover tract with other property and you will see that the prices of the McLaughlan-Conover lots are as low as to permit the sale and resale at a profit and still be below the real value. Here is a tract of land situated in the most delightful section of Ocean City. It is at the upper end, with the ocean on the front, the Inlet along the upper end and and the Bay nearby. Handsome homes surround the Tract, so that it is not in the outlying district. Only eight squares from the heart of the city, it is thus easy of access to everything. The fact that we have sold within the past three weeks over $300,000.00 worth of these lots, proves conclusively that they are considered bargains and that the buyers expect to realize handsome profits from their purchases. The buyers are all men and women of good judgment, who know realty values, and haev invested after carefully investigating the proposition and viewing the land. You will be safe in following the ' buyers. Bny Sow Before tbe Rise -A Few More Lots Left TERMS: — $50 down, on each lot purchased; $50 on each lot in sixty days; final settlement when all the improvements, such as sidewalks, curbing and ■ ntreets are built. You have six months in which to make settlement. A large part of the purchase price may remain on mortgage.
