That's good. You haven't figured 1t all
out yet have you; why you are mere, now
long you are going to stay and when you
are to make an involuntary departureI
Don't like to think about going anyway!
No, i don't blame you. Did you ever
notice how quick interest dies out when
you hear that some one you knew mac, as
our friend Willie Shakespeare remarked,
made his exit after being one OF the men
and women players who strut their brief
hour upon the stage of life?
l shall never forget how felt when
read my own obituary. Most people you
know have everyone else except themselves
read their obituaries.
But never mind.
Let's change the subject.
AS Bin Nye says you live but little
while, but you're long time dead.

A gentlemen stopped me on Westmin-
ster street the other evening and asked me
to say a good word for the Providence
Association for Ministering to the Sick.
AS near as could make out as the con-
versation proceeded was that, like every
other deserving charity, funds were
needed for its continuance. i was in
formed that there were no salaries
attached to the offices of the Association
and that those who did not wish to con-
tribute money outright might give orders
for medicines at some druggists. was
told of one man who, being appealed to,
replied "if they are sick, let them
die, and then they'll be out OF the way"
How heartiess. Any money left at The
NEWS Office for the benefit OF the sick will
be gratefully acknowledged andforwarded
to the treasurer.
This subject brings us to It's logical OPP
posite-health. II you have got your
health, young man or young woman,
guard and preserve it. IL you have mon
ey and lose it, there is a possibility OF
getting some more, but with health 1t Is
different. Somebody truthfully said:
Health is wealth." Indeed 1t is. There
are millionaires who would give all they
possess II they only had the health that
some poor people possess. The human
system will stand q good many hard
knocks and any quantity OF abuse, but
the first thing you know you are ali broke
up, and while you do not wish to admit
1t, nine times out Of 10 no one Is to blame
but yourself.

the peaches bright side up, and will
show you the man Diogenes lit the lamp

| Most any woman would rather stop
car than find white post.
| One great source of trouble between
islands and wives is that they are too
well acquainted with each other.

ments how often we hear the ladies tell

commiseration for the fellow who has got
to pay the future bills of the concern.

drive. IL she is not content with letting

| The American band, home from its sum-
mer trip, will be heard at Adelaide Park
next week, for the Zin-zil-za- bud man has
engaged their services to add to
the other attractions already an.
nounced. Over 1900 tickets have already
been disposed of and the outlook
is for large gathering of people who are
to be entertained in first class manner.
In the meantime have you got an opinion
! regarding Zin-zil- bud? You are as
liable to obtain the prize as anybody IL
you guess right or IL you give an opinion
anywhere near what it Is. Some say it Is
an order or society, others say 1t it is
land sale scheme, while a good many are
letting "the other fellow" think it out,
but they are all going out to Adelaide
Park next Monday evening to see what 1t
is all about. In the meantime the peo-
pie are being informed in every way
Imaginable that Zin- -zil- "a bud is the pop
ular fad OF the day.
was up on the top floor OF the Hoppin
Homestead Building last, let me see, last
Tuesday afternoon, inquired of a gen.
tleman who sat at the desk what the
prospects were for the regular Fail open
ing OF the school, the Bryant & Stratton
school which opens next Monday. As
compared with other years it was better,

sauntered nbout through the spacious
halls and study rooms which had been
painted, tinted and Vanished and put in
first-clsss order for the pupils. There
was one large room noticed particularly
fitted up with furniture, railing, wire
screens, stand up desks, safes and all the
paraphernalia OF large mercantile counting
rooms and banks. When the school is in
session i understand the pupil actually
does business as II he was in a downtown
establishment. What do you think of
that Purchases are made, notes are
given, the endorsements are questioned,
bills collected, checks exchanged, invoices
made, accounts kept. In fact the pupil
receives a thoroughly practical business
education and when he graduates to a
position, which is usually the case, he has
bad the practice which makes him prof.
cient from the start.
