It is terribly easy to get a person en-

A woman can't be said to be prac-

material that will make over nicely for
children.

Every one should accumulate so much
money that when he retires from active
life, he may hope to be heard of in
connection with raising some new kind
of mushroom or orchid.
Considering the many old men who
are struggling along in poverty, it is
wonderful that young men do not take
better care of their money, and save it
for the inevitable rainy day.
A young man can live very comfort
able on ten dollars a week, and attract
a great deal of attention, but wait
until he gets married: he can't possibly
make enough to give satisfaction to his
family and the heighbors.
When you hear a man abused for be-
ing stingy, defend him: too many men
are spendthrifts, and become burdens
on their relatives. A stingy man who
has sense enough to save his money, is
rare enough to be appreciated.

Governor Leary of Guam is contin-

as a. man fitted to rule. There is not
much red tape in Learys management
Of affairs. When he sees that a thing
should be done, he doesn't look up the
authorities. the law and the constitu-
tion. but issues an order and it is done.
Recently he ordered that the ringing of
church bells should cease. Most of
Leary's orders have been acquiesced in
cheerfully, but this one aroused objec-
ton. The inhabitants of the islands
had been ringing church bells ever since
Characterization took place and they
naturally objected to this abridgement
of their rights to follow an ancient Gus
tom. Then Leary explained. The bell
ringing disturbed the sick in the hos
pitaI When there are no sick the bells
can ring again. There are many places
where Learys are needed.

THOMPSON DISCHARGED.
Sidewalk Cleaning Case Comes to an
Abrupt End.

The case of the City vs. Walter
Thompson for not cleaning his sidewalk
of snow was dismissed in the police
court this morning on a technicality.
The court held that the ordinance was
valid but that the case was improperly
brought.
Mr. Thompson worked almost an en-
time forenoon to clear his walk of snow
and as he has over 300 feet he did not
entirely complete the work but for
about 80 feet cleared a narrow path. 1t
looked very much li1ee persecution to
cause his arrest in view of the facts.
