There il much talk OF the extravaganza
OF woman, and there is no doubt that
when woman puts her hand to the spend.

TO this question of spending money there
are two sides, and the balance inclInes tow.
ards saving rather than spending. Wom-
en- are naturally economists They have
twice the skill Of saving that men have.
Think of the "auld clothes made 10 look

many woman resorts TO keep her family

never thinks Of stinting himself in cigars or
liquor Many man is kept from pauper-

the savings Of the father. Before men talk
OF the extgavagance Of a woman, they

Here is how a brother journalist puts it:
We presume that some people think that
newspaper men are persistent duns; let q
farmer place himself in similar business
situation, and see if he wouldn't do the
same.
Suppose that he raises one thousand
bushels Of wheat, and his neighbor should
come and buy bushel, and the price was
only small sum OF two dollars, or less,
and the neighbor says "1'll pay you the
amount in couple OF months. As the
farmer does not want TO be small about the
matter, he says all right.
Another comes ia the same way till all
the one thousand bushels OF wheat are
trusted out to one thousand different per.
sons, and not one Of the purchasers con-
Germs himself about it, for II is a small sum
they owe the farmer, and Of course that
will not help him any.
He does not realize that the farmer has
frittered away his large crop Of wheat and
that its value is due in thousand little
driblets, and that he is seriously embarass-
ed in his busines because his debtor. treat
i, as a small matter. Bnt II all would pay
him promptly, which they could do as well
as not, it would be very large amount TO
the farmer, and enable him to carry on his
business without difficulty, The above
comparison is too true Of the difficulties
the newspaper man has 10 contend with.

"a man," said Rev. Plato johnson, in
the course of very interesting sermon, lis
a very curious animule. He is de only an
mule dat don't have good time when he
is baby. Did dat idea ever cur to your
mind before? After he is dead, he may 60
to heben, but after he's born, and til he
gets able to take care oh hisself he has no
comfort an he don't let anybody else hab
any. Look at de dogs, wat time dey has
togedder Dey is born tree or four at a
time, so dey needn't be lonely, an de min
ute dey gets dere eyes open dey begins to
play and fool wild each oddcr an enjoy
dereselves. Look at dc lamb. Well dat
lamb OF Mary's had good deal better time
dan Mary did herself before she was big
enough to go to school. Who ever heard
of lambs havin toofache or dc measles
or collie? Wen night comes de calf lies
down quiet side of its mudder, an dat's
de las you hear oa it til de mex mornin'
at sunrise. Did you ever hear oh calf
habin' de chickenpox or de mumps? Echo
answers, None of dose tings ours in dc
lower animule world. Now how is it wild
de human baby?. He amt generally in de
world more'n half an honr before he be-
gins to let de whole neighborhood know
dat he's come at last and means TO stay.
He's got an immortal soul which Mary,s
lamb had to do widout; but it does seem
to me- brethren, dat he pays for dat privi-
lege wild Il lot OF things dat de lamb an de
dog Wouldn't have on no consideration.
He no sooner gets well started before he
has to bite rubber ring all day to get his
teeth through, an wen dey's comm, de
fader has to tote de baby all night, an de
baby yellIn' all the time loud enough for
a town crier. No, de fac is dat de human
animule don't have no happiness til he
gets big 'nufi to have home of his own,
an even then his issery has Just begun.

GAS GONE ~GLIMMERIHG!

the Gas" "Where WA Moses when the
Light Went Out?"

We have just received the follow
ing letter from j.. D.. Werdon, of Mo-
berry, concerning his erecting gas
works in Mexico. AS we have been
asked many questions lately about
when and where the works are to be
built, we publish the letter, as we
violate nc confidence by so doing:
MoBERLY, No, March pr. NJ.
WHITE: Yours Of the 21st inst. in
forming me that the city council Of
Mexico had met and passed an ordi-
nance 10 the effect / should not To-
cate or build gas works within 1920
feet of any dwelling house is re-
ceived. l have bought and paid for
the necessary ground, and a part of
the material is ready to be shipped,
and l have incurred other expenses.
1t seems to En- very strange that the
council, after granting the franchise
by ordinance and knowingly permit
ting me to proceed 80 far at such ex-
pense, should then, without even the
courtesy of notice to me-, pass
another ordinance which, in effect,
nullifies their former action,
and makes no provision for
righting the wrong thus done
TO me. This action of the council
in effect declares that I may build
gas works for Mexico, but not at
Mexlco-at least, not within one-ffth
of a mile Of the town. This circum-
stance reminds me of a certain order
of Napoleon's, on the occasion of
numerous petitions of soldiers to be
furloughed for a visit home. He
had the army drawn up in line and
the order was read to them. The
order was to the effect that any SOL
, der who wished to return home could
do so, but that the first man who
stepped from the line should be shot.
The historian adds that the soldiers
did not want to 60. Truly yours,
