Modern Improvements.

In connection with the subject Of
modern improvements. there is no more
striking example OF economy in house
hold work than has been made possible
by the invention of Bon Ami, the finest
cleaner made.
1t has been the custom for the house
wife for many years TO get a sand or
securing soap for cleaning purposes and
use II generally in her work, because
IL removed dirt, tarnish. CRIME or grease
easier than water would do IL. AT the
same time she has complained that the
tinware does not last as il used to; that
the oilcloth manufacturers were using
poorer material than they did when she
was a girl: that paint wore off faster
than formerly but il has never occur
red TO her that she is the one who is
continually wearing these things out
by the use of a coarse cleaner and hard
work
Is IL any wonder then that Bon Ami,
the Modern Cleaner, which will
scratch or injure any surface, is meet
ing with increased popularity as house
wives become acquainted with the fact
that is absolutely will not wear out
any surface on which il is used?
Here is an improvement in an article
of common, everyday use that saves
both money and hard work. How many
realize it?

s'Let we'll enough alone" The
truth embodied in this saying finds
pitiful confirmation in the recent in
oidents of mans life in New York
He was found nearly starved and
dangerously weak, and was taken to
Bellevue hospital. This was his story:
He had been a school teacher in an
inland town. He had an assured
position, an adequate salary, and had
saved $4,000. Some of his acquaintan-
COS has become suddenly wealthy BY
specializing in stocks. Hoping to be
equally successful, he went to New
York and made his venture in Wall
street. His money was spent for
stocks, and - 10 usual the other
gambler got it. With hardly . cent
left, he sought work, failed to get it,
and had about succumbed to starva-
ton when the police found him.
The lesson is obvious; but 90 few Of
us profit by the experiences of other
people that we fear it may 60 I'M
headed.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1899-07-20

Mans life is full of crosses and
temptation. He comes into this
world without his consent. and goes
out of it against his will, and his
trip between the two eternities is ex-
ceedingly rough. The rule Of con-
traries is one of the important fea-
lures of his trip. When he is little
the girls kiss him. If he raises a
large family he is called poor man,
but if he raises q small check he is q
thief and fraud. If he is poor he
is bad manager, and if he is rich
he if dishonest; if he is in politics
it's for pie; if he out of politics you
can't tell where to place him, and he
is no good to his country, if he does
an act of charity it's for policy; if he
won't give to charity he's stingy and
lives only for himself; if he dies
young there was great fortune
ahead of him; if he lives to ripe
age he has missed his calling. Verify,
the rood is rough, but men like to
travel it.

Every editor has received them,
says an exchange. The postmaster
sends them to the editor. The post
master is not to blame. For instance
there is q man by the name of-well
say Tim Short, who sent us three
notices to stop his paper, he didn't
want it any longer. We wondered
what was the matter. Upon investi-
eating Ito subscription book We
found Tim was short $40. He never
had paid cent, and yet he stopped
his paper o. q matter Of economy
to us. He didn't want us to lose any
more by him. A few days afterward
Short was at church and his melo-
dious tenor rang out loud and clear
in that old stirring song. "Jesus Paid
it ALL" He might have been mis-
taken but his earnestness impressed
us. So the next day We sent him a
receipt in full, begging his pardon
for not knowing that he had made
an assignment Of his liabilities to the
Lord.

Ottawa Index: Don't expect every
body to be your friend in this world.
There are people who would sooner
see you make a fiat failure in life
than succeed. There are people
whom you have put yourself to trou-
BILE and expense to serve who would
sooner speak evil of you than good.
Merit is not always appreciated even
by ones kith and kin. Remember
that in this world, If you have bur-
dens laid upon your shoulders, to
bear them patiently and in silence.
The approving conscience" at least
will be an ever faithful friend. A
monitor We can always afford to heed
in sunshine or shadow.
