It is a tradition i:> Tammany Hall that the or-.ganlzatlon shall stand by its own In time of trouble.t..-.. Borough President John F. Ahearn was re-

moved, foOoartnc an investigation by th« Commis-sioners of Accounts, the Tammany aldermen quicklyi-.--.•>.\u25a0'.-,; htm. It wns argued that Mayor Mc-Clcllan had caused the investigation of Ahearn's•iffice for political reasons, and that IfAhearn hadJoined forces with Mayor McClellan there wouldhave been no inquiry. Similarly the Haffen menBay that HaJTen's record would not have been in-vestlgated by the Commissioners of Accounts Ifithad not been for political malice. Borough Preti-dor.t Coler is likely to set up the same claim. TliatCoes not alter Urn fa: ithat Tammany is groaningunder a fearful load in carrying its discredited of-Iflclals. Itstood by Ahearn, and now It la ealltd onto atand by Haffen. J

The fri.-njs of Mr. HaJTen think they have dis- icovered signs of a plan to re-elect htm Borough iPresident, Bivin« him the came sort .of vipdlcation :accorded Mr. Aheaxn, and then turn him (.own for jrenominatlon. The Haffen men say they wlii not •stand for this. It is understood that Mr. Haffen. jwbeii he calls on Mr. Murphy to-day, if he. does,willUc-mand re-election at the hands of the a)der>aaata, u:i<l later a renoraipation as Borough Presi-dent.

Many leading Physicians, Ministers an«l Educators inall th<» big cities «-»f the T'nitrd States and '•^•eratin Europe have very highly endorsed THE CIRCLE MAGAZINE and THE CIRCLE PUBLISHINGCOMPANY, and have been glad to become part owner* in the enterprise.

Cumulative dividend, and $300,000 is Common Stock uponwhich all dividends over and above the 7 per cent, on the Preferred Stock willbe pail. Measured by theopportunities for rapid development of the business and by the known earnings of other great magazine andbook publishing properties, the dividends on the Common Stork should soon exceed the fixed dividendon the Preferred Stock, and our Plan gives you some of both kinds.

The following extract from an article in a recent number of Leslie's Weekly is to the point: .••HOW A FEW DOLLARS MADE A FORTUNE.

"Among thr most interesting commercial facts in this country are the astonishing fortunes whwh ar« beins mltby magazine publishers. . \u25a0 .

"Kvery year more than the iw"ffsum ol about $80,000,000 is spent in buying adverttstn:: space and m buyingcopies of periodicals. A large portion ol this huge amount of money becomes profit* for mazarine owners.

"The great popular in«>n»hly publications have risen to wealth and prominence so quickly that only $100 investedinMunsey's a few years ago is now worth between $10,000 and $12,000, and is earninji dividends at the rate of $1,000 a year.

"McClure's Magazine mane a prot-t for its stockholders of 1.000 per cent, in about ten years. The total annual in-

come of The Ladies' Home Journal and The Hatnrdap Evening Po*t, both of which arc owned by the Curtis Publishing

Company, oi Philadelphia, is not far from $6,000,000. The Cosmopolitan, Everybody*, The Outlook, and others, are im-mensely profitable . » j- t

"Unfortunately, however, magazine renders have rarely had an opportunity to -.hare in tneae splendid earnings.

NVarly nil the magazines are in each case owned by a few individuals, who receive all the enormous income."A chance to secure an interest inone of the great popular magazines, on a basis that insures absolute safety an«l

gives a liberal share of all the profits of the business, is an opportunity that attracts the immediate attention of the shrewd-est investors."
