AGAINST THE RULE.

There is no doubt that boarding money
is bad practice. 1t is bad for the COM
munity and bad for the individual. 1t
parsly zes business and intensifies distrust.
It Is also unsafe. A man who has his
money in bank knows that it is safe, un-
less some of the bank directors or officers
want to use 1t for their own benefit In
speculation. But a man who keeps his
money in his house, or In his barn, or in
his woodshed, or in his garden, or in his
stove, or in his pocket, is prey to many
fears, and often his money is prey to the
accident which walketh at MONDAY, the
thief which walketh at night, or, as we
have lately seen, even to the 9rasshopper
which hoppeth when he is hungry.
But Though 1t is wrong, wicked and un-
safe for man to keep his own money out
of circulation when other people are
anxious to have it circulating. there are
occasional happenings which seem to
show that the boarding of money is not
as wicked and as unwise as 1t has been
said to be. For instance, in Brazil the
other day a man was saved from death by
bullet lodging in roll of f100 notes
which he had in his pocket. If
this money had been in q bank,
beneftting society, the poor man
would now be dead, and his money would
be safely corralled by somebody else. Of
course, however, this incident is nothing
%or Tk l., H.
the rule, just as the occasional stopping of
bullet by pack of cards proves that 1t
is always best to carry testament in the
pocket. Don't hoard your money with the
idea that 1t will save you from death by a
bullet. 1t is safer in the possession of
other people than in yours, and as 1t will
eventually get there anyway there Is no
profit in trying to interfere with the nat
ural order of things.

NOT SIMPLE SIMON.

When q man makes up his mind that he
will be married, and when he has induced
some fine young woman to also make up
her mind that he will be, he is usually In
state of feverish impatience for the arrival
of the happy day when he and she shall be
made one. In such stew is he that he
often does not see why the young woman
who is to be the one must make delay. He
doesn't zee that she can't be married with
out any clothes when she already has
rooms full of them. He doeen't see why

parade and hourishes that are thought
necessary by women In order to notify the
world that somebody is going to Glitch

of being told about it.
But occasionally there is found man
who can wait, not, however, for the same
reasons that influence women in approach
ing marriage slowly and ceremoniously,
but because he is a philosopher and thinks
that marriage is juet as good for another
time as for one time, and perhaps little
better. OF this wise and happy make is
Mr.. Samuel Simon of New York. Mr..
Simon mends shoes for living, and after
having mended shoes in content for some
years at last had his soul all pierced by the
bright beams from the eyes of young
widow Klein. Under her direction he
asked her if che would marry
him. She hesitatingiy answered that
she would, and left him. as
she supposed, in the ueual state of agita

to take his great leap into the dark. Bu

he came not gloom fell upon the company
even as the black pirate ship descend
upon the unsuspecting swimmer. FINAL,
a committee was made up and sen
to the absent ones house with orders t,
investigate and report. They found Simo,
at his bench busily and happily mending
shoe. They asked why he was mendinl
a shoe when love and beauty were wsitinl
for him with open arms and in their YER
best clothes. "Business is business" an
swered Simon. ''I'm making money now
can get married at any time" And no
until he had the shoe we'll and truly mend
ed did he bulge. Then he calmly put o.
his best clothes and went, not like a lam
to the sacrifice, but like man and phi
oeoPher to his wedding.

One Humbug of Dress Reform.

One Humbug of Dress Reform.
The girls who dress after common sense
systems don't have altogether a bad thing
of it. 1t has actually been discovered
that all this wearing of skirts hung from
the shoulders Is only a nice excuse for the
cutest suspenders, as "just like-a-man's"
as you ever saw. 1t will give common
sense dressing a new start. These sus-
penders look like the mems article, being
made with only slight changes to suit their
modified use. The very swellest ones are
quite plain, all the buckles and fitting be-
ing solid silver or gold. 1t is no wonder
the common sense girls go around with On
air OF superiority.
