drinking away yours and destroying
your body at the same time, and you

is money. Don't wait for fortune
to begin with. If you had $4,000 a

poor still. Our men of power and
influence did not start with fortunes
You, too, can make your mark if you
will. But you must stop spending
your money for what you don't need,
and squandering your time in idle

ing some three or four were enjoying
sea bath, their attention was direct
ed to little ten or twelvc-ycar-old
boy whom they had left OH areef in
shoal water near the beach, the men
having ventured into deeper water.
On looking IN the direction Of the
child they realized the aa full fact that
the boy was being swallowed by on
alligator, fully half the victims body
still being visible and then suddenly
disappearing in the frightful jaws OF
the monster, whose tremendous mouth
was plainly seen by each one present.
They at once returned to shore, but
not a trace 0! the unfortunate lad
could be discovered, save tho blood
which fioated on the water.

By the last postal decision, business
men can actually make money by hav-
ing their bills and statements printed.
The law now says in substance that If
these. are made out on paper, that is
printed at the head. they can be sent
through the mail for one cent, the envel-
ope being I'm sealed; whereas if made
out on imprinted paper they will cost
three cents. Thus by patronizing the
printer two cents can be saved on every
bill or statement sent through the mail,
and that viii more than pay the cost OF
blanks.
