One Method of Making Money

A man who had only q few hundred
dollars left ont Of fortune called one
dsy at q banking house and asked to see
the manager. who was 9 man Of con-
servstive mind and fully acquainted
with the best and most profitable invest
ments.
Throwing down his roll Of bankHotes
he said Invest this for me. Use your
pleasure with IL I'm going 70 the coun-
trv for the remainder Of the summer.
viii leave my address with you, and
YOU can let me know what you do with
it,
The man walked out and was not seen
again for many months. His money was
iudieiously invested on his carte blanche
order and began to accumulate. The
house duly informed him, ocoording to
its business methods, Of his good luck,
bot nothing was heard from him person
ally for some time.
some months afterwards he presented
himself at the banking house, rosy
health beaming in his face, well dressed
and portly. The manager failed to
recognize him az frst, but when his
memory was refreshed he recalled the
circumstances Of the case.
Now, this was an example Of man
who more then doubled his savings by
simply taking the advice Of an ex-
perienced and reliable man. And this is
not a solitary case. 1t is one of many
such that happens every day throughout
the length and breadth of our land

Couldn't Take a Joke.

The early riser was out watering hi:
grass when the funny man came along
and stepped on the hose
The early riser turned around TO SET
what had shut of the wster so suddenly
and the funny man laughed at him.
Get of that hose - exclaimed the
early riser.
"0h, don't mind me-" said the funny
man. $50 on and water your grass."
Then ne noticed that the nozzle was
csrelessly pointed in his direction.
Here Point that the other way -
he cried.
The early riser glanced down at the
nozzle and his face lit up with pleasure.
Amusing 10 shut of a mans water,
isn't it?" he asked.
"But, my dear sir" expostulated the
funny man, Il didn't"
Its intensely funny said the early
riser; you'd better get off that hose"
"But l can't" said the funny man.
"Don't you see the nozzle's pointed right
at me, and if do"
''0h, well, I'm in no hurry" interrupt
ed the early riser. ~If you enjoy it
don't know that have any reason TO OBJ
ject"
He sat down on the railing surround
ing his grass plat and rested the nozzle
on his knee, still keeping it pointed tow
ard the funny man.
! say said the latter ''if you turn
that the other way III get off,"
~oh, I wouldn't put you to 50 much
trouble said the early riser. Enjoy
yourself"
The early riser held the nozzle between
his knees while he took out cigar and
lit it. The funny man watched him for
a moment. Then re said:
See here, old man, my legs getting
stiff"
"Why don't you shift legs - asked the
early riser, disiuterestly.
The funny man tried it, made a slip.
and the stream almost reached him be-
fore he could get his foot on the hose
again. The early riser chuckled.
SAY, I'll break your heade" cried the
funny man, excitedly.
"All right returned the early riser,
carelessly. "Bat be careful or you nav
slip of the hose again
The funny man glsred at the early
riser moment and then said:
IF | were as mean as you are Ia 20
into the pawnbrokers' business"
IF I we're as funny as you are" said
the early riser. as he leisurely pulled his
cigar, 'I'd hire out to 8 bur,esque com
psny.s
The funny man tried to walk along the
hose TO get further away from the nozzle,
bat the water spurted out little with
each setp, and he stopped. Then he got
desperate, stepped Of and started to run
The stream caught him in the middle of
the back.
When he got out Of range he turned
and shook his fist at the impassive early
riser and made some terrible threats.
And the early riser m1itered a. he be-
gan watering the grass again:

joke on himself c.ioago Tribune.

To soften the hands fill wash basin

in this for at least five minutes, rubbing
them well into the sand. The best sand
to use is the flint sand or the white pow
dered quartz sold for filters. 1t may b'
used repeatedly by pouring the water
away after each washing, and adding
fresh to keep it from blowing away

day. Soap is an Indispensable article
for cleansing the hands, but it very often
leaves the skin rough, cracks come on
the hands, and soap is often unpleasant.
Use honey, rubbing it in while the skin
is dry ; moisten little, rub harder, use 8
little more water finally, wash thor

as though the strongest soap were used
and no cracks or roughness will annoy
