LAYING UP A COMPETENCE.
Something That Practically Any Man
Can Do by the Exercise of
SeIf-DeniaI.

"There are some men of genius" said
Mr.. Nippingly, according to the New
YORK Sun, who accumulate great for
tunes by great strokes, but by far the
greater number of fortunes, including
those of moderate dimensions, and
these form the great majority of all,
are made b. the very simple process of
living within ones income and invest
ing the surplus, with more or less wis
dom, but always where it will be safe.
The older / grow the more amazed |
am that more people don'r lay up a
competefce for themselves, as most
anybody can do, by beginning early i'll
life to live within their income, and
sticking to that course faithfully. Did
do this myself? No! Am |, however,
having learned the wisdom of this
course, now making beginning? J
am obliged to say: No. | am still
spending all / get and laying up moth
ing.
There are some lessons that we all
easily acquire, but never turn to our
own advantage. One of these is of the
benefits that arise from the exercise of
self denial. We get from this, at once,
the direct benefit of what we save, and
self-denial nourishes, strengthens and
brcadens the will and enables a man
constantly to do and to earn more apd
more.
There's simply nothing like self
denial; it is the key to every one of life's
treasures; and everybody has one OF
those golden keys in his possession
eager to help him, and waiting only fol-
him to bring it in USE"

ORGANISE AN AUTOCRAT.
No One Must Dare to Criticize Tn I
FunctiOnRry's Part of the
Church Service.

IF there ever is any trouble in the
congregation about the music, and if
the minister ever worries himself, it
is admitted at once that the congre-
cation and the minister are alone ia
blame, writes Ian Maclaren in Ladies'
Home Journal. But there are other
difficulties, and they may be men
toned in spirit of becoming humil-
ity. For one thing, the organist is an
artist, and every artist has a nature
of special refinement which cannot
bear the rough-and-tumble ordinary
methods Of life. With man of
common clay you deal in a practical,
ght-forward and even brutal
fashion. arguing with him, complain
ing to him, and putting him right
when he is wrong. But no man must
handle precious porcelain in such fash
ion. or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter. for,
as a rule, the organist thinks that he
is lifted above criticism and public
opinion. 1t is impossible to teach
him anything: it is an insult to sup
pose that anything could be better
than the music he provides.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers, and grandmoth-
ers never thought of using anything else
for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of APP
pendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling duh
and bad with headaches and others aches.
You only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, i'll liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Sample bottles at Os-
car A. Alters drug store.

GERMAN BLONDES
They Form the Largest Per Cent. OF
the Types of Germany's
Population.

The German Anthropological society
has been engaged in recent years in col
lecting statistics relative to the COM
parative frequency of the blonde and
brunette types and their distribution
through the German empire.
The results are of interest as giving
evidence of the original sources of the
population in various sections. The OBJ
servations were confined to school chill
dren, 5000, 900 OF whom have been exam
med.
For purposes of classification only
those that had blue eyes and fair hair
and skin we're counted as blondes, and
those whose eyes, hair and skin were
all dark, as brunettes.
All others (for example, children with
dark eyes and light hair or with blue
eyes and dark hair and skim were put
IN third or mixed" class.
In the empire as whole the blondes
were found to number 31.s per cent,
the brnneties, IA per cent, and the
mixed types, 54.2 per cent In some dis
tricts the preponderance of the blonde
element was much more marked-espe-
cially in a part of the Grand Duchy OF
Oldenburg. where there were only four
per cent. of pure brunettes.
The effect of the brunette, Roman ele-
ment was distinctly marked in the
southern and southwestern parts of the
empire. Near Worms and Speyer, in
deed, one often sees faces which strong
~ suggest those of central Italy or Ro-
man statues and paintings.
Yet streaks of blonde ponderance,
apparently marking the paths of Ger
manic migration, were traced up to the
Italian frontier.

Young long-leaf pines, according to
Mr.. Pinchot. of the department of ag-
riculture, protect themselves against
forest fires in most interesting and
remarkable manner. For four or five
years the stems of the infant trees at
tain height of only as many inches
above the soil. During this time their
bark is extraordinarily thick, and that
alone gives some protection. But in
addition, the long needles spring up
above the stem. and then bend over an
all sides lin green cascade which falls
TO the ground in a circle al bout the seed
ling" This green barrier can with
difficulty be made to burn, while the
shade that ii casts prevents infamnable
grass from growing near the protected
stem. Mr.. Hinchot thinks that it Is
owing To this peculiar system of self
protection which the pine seedlings
have developed that the growth of
evergreen oaks in Florida has been re-
stricted in regions where fires have
ragged while pure pine forests have
taken their place.

THE BUGLER WHO FORGOT.
Got n Chance to Run the Fight to
Suit Himself and Made Things
Warm.

1t is not often that an enlisted man
to suit himself. That chance, however,
came to one bugler, says Manila cor
respondent of Leslie's Weekly. Capt.
Hannay, finding that l. company was
100 far away to hear orders, sent his
bugler after the company to sound the
charge. At the first notes l. flew on
ward. 1t was right here that the
bugler forgot, for the time being, that
he was only the commanding officers
orderly. He saw another chance for
L to move on the jump-too good a
chance, he thought, to be lost. He
sounded once more and Lieut.. Ross,
imagining, of course, that the order
came from Capt. Hannay, executed it.
Not even yet was the bugler's thirst for
forward action stated. He sounded
again and again, as the heat of gen
era1ship made his blood flow fast and
hot.
BY the time the bugler came to him
self and relinquished the duties of fight
director the poor fellows of L company
were troubled with shortness of breath.
In this brisk affair, according to the
official report. the dead reached a total
of about GO, including some officers. j,
is the enemy's dead that is meant, of
course. Twenty-one Mausers and six
Remingtons were the spois of this field.

IDEA TOO ORIGINAL
The Mayor Suggested That the Towns
Visitors Climb the New Stand
pine for Entertainment.

In one of the towns of the upper
peninsula they were preparing to en-
terrain a delegation of eastern capital
lists, many of them accompanied by
wives and families, who were prospect
ing for investments in mining, railroad
and other enterprises. AT the meeting
to make arrangements for the recep-
ton the new mayor presided. lie had
ideas of his own. says the Detroit Jour
nal. and evidently thought that his Off
cial position entitled him to settle any
disputed question. After several plans
had been suggested, he took the floor.
Gentlemen" said his honor, what
] insist upon is something original and
something that these people will al
ways recall as having happened right
here. Our neighbors in the east
dropped them few thousand feet into
a copper mine; our rival city to the
north drove them six miles TO see the
water works; at that struggling little
burg west of us they gave them a chance
10 blister their faces over the red sand
stone quarries. We're no imitators.
What l propose is that we let them
climb, one at time, to the top of that
new standpire of ours. They'll know
we're up to date on our fire department
and they'll get splendid view of the
surrounding country"
And it took the leading men of both
parties to get the mayors consent to
another programme.

Some of those who argue that space

assumes that stars are equally dis

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
1t Was Between MaR-Eat ting Shark
and an Alligator and the
Shark Won.

Some fishermen down at Mayport,
Fla, the mouth of the st. Johns river,
witnessed a strange fight few days
ago between a large alligator and a
man-eating shark, says the PHI adel-
pbia Press.
The alligator was summing himself
on the river bank when the fishermen
approached within 30 yards.
There was a roar from the alligator,
which attracted attention to his pres
ence, and he fell sprawlng in the river.
Then a huge shark shot toward the
bank and caught the alligator's tail
in his mouth, causing the alligator to
roar with pain and turn onto the
sharks tail with his mouth.
The two monsters stuck their teeth
firmly in each Others tail, and the
shark snatched off piece of the ALI
gators flesh, swallowing it at one gulp.
The alligator let loose the shark and
made desperate effort to escape. The
shark raised himself above the water
and bounced upon the head Of the ALI
gator.
The entire head Of the alligator was
caught between the jaws of the shark
and mangled.
Several hours later the dead alligator,
without head or tai, or legs, rose to the
top of the water and was carried out
to sea by the ebbing tide.
Several sharks have been caught at
Mayport this year, and the fishermen
who reported the above story will try
to catch the shark that ate the ALI
