Salem Register: 1t is easy to get tangled
up in law suit, but not so easy to get
out. An evidence of this fact came to
light last Saturday in the court house,
when case in which Mr.. S. II. Pollard
was interested came up. and was again
postponed. Mr.. Pollard lives in Mason
Cove, and he stated that since the case
had been pending in the court he had
walked four hundred miles in coming to
attend it, had lost twenty-seven days from
his work, and had spent twenty five dol
lars in prosecuting it, and the matter only
involved seventeen dollars worth of land.
That surely don It pay.

This proper petition came from clerk in
a downtown banking house. was will
ing, and this is the way he went on
"Ten years ago two young men went
to work for the same firm on Wall street.
Their salaries were the same, their OPP
portunites even, their tastes similar. ana
generally they were on par all around.
Both married, neither adding much to
their dollar-an cent account In that
way. They climbed along together
Eight years ago they were drawing a
yearly salary of $4,000 apiece. But in one
particular the twain differed, and
this great difference was In their
method of taking care of their money. A
A at the end of each week took his salary
home and handed it over to his wife. B
looked out for his own funds himself
When A wanted funds during the week
he went to his wife for it; he took but a
certain sum from home each day for
lunch and incidental expenses. When b
wanted funds during the week he Owed
into his own pockets for it.. He didn I
need-this was his boast-he didn't need
any petticoat tnanciering In his family
B had lots OF fun at AS expense as the
weeks heaped themselves into months
and piled into year, but A seemed rather
to have the whip end, when at the end OF
the twelfth month, he asked TO com
pare bank books B had H3 to his
credit, sole remnant of his w6ele year Is
salary. AS account showed credits that
amounted to 5000. That wife at the
purse strings did it. But B was set in
his way. He went on enjoying himself;
prospective rainy days didn't annoy him;
the theatre and the dinner table, excur-
eions and good fellowship-these kept
him fat and happy. And the first year.
$1,000 that Mrs. A accumulated grew in
increasing ratio year by year. On last
New Years day it had become, through
safe and shrewd investment, something
like $50, 900, all in hard cash. "
And to boil the story down." ] inter
jected, "Spendthrift B, who hasn't saved
a cent, has 20 90 on toling for living,
while, thanks 10 his good wife, A gives
up labor and is settled down to enjoy his
remaining years in ease"
Now, that's where you make your
mistake" calculated my tale teller in a
tone sublimely sarcastic. "Because you
newspaper men are always good, and be-
cause your goodness always brings you
happiness and shekels, you imagine the
same rule holds good everywhere Aud
as I've said, that's where you make a
