SPEAK WELL or YOUR TOWN
Beautify 1t. Buy All You Can and
Sell All You Can At Home.


1t is not the size of q town, but its
character that makes it a desirable
place to live in. A live and prosper
Gus town is desirable one, and a
town may live and prosper and yet
be small. Every citizen in town
should be interested IN its prosperity.
One of the ways to help your town
is to speak well OF it. It is true pat
riotism to stand by your town and
self interests as well. As a man who
speaks i'll OF his family lowers both
himself and his family in the estima-
ton of others. so does a man who
cares little for his own town aud
community seldom care much for
his country. The man who is res
pected by others respects himself and
his neie Ebors, and patriotism begins
at home.
Another way to help your town is
to do all you can to beautify it. Beaut-
ify your own property all you can,
and then beautify the street. Be
friendly to erybody and courteous
TO strangers. Your civility will help
to make good impressions and will be
carried away and cherished. Never
forgetthat you are part of the town
and that your department helps to
make up the strangers estimate of the
place.
Sell all you can and buy all you
can. Every dollar that is sent or
carried away from the town makes
it that much poorer. If you have
means invest it in something that
will give employment to somebody.
Always cheer on the man who goes
in for improvement. Do not kick on
a proposed improvement simply be-
cause it is not at your door. A town
that is improving is also spreading
ont. If rich man starts a project
encourage him. If poor man starts
help him.
Don't he afraid to thrust your
hand down in your pocket to help
public enterprise. More towns have
been killed by such refusals than
in any other way, The citizens of
any prosperous town are always pub
lic-spirited and united. Stand to-
gether. Work together for the inter-
ests of the whole town. Always
stand ready to do your best. Don't
grumble and spend your time prop
esying failure, but help to make every
enterprise a success. Every man
owes something to the COM
munity for his success, be it great or
small. Be energetic, be enterprising.
and your example will be followed.

How Much Are You Worth?

A young man, who was very much
in love with a girl whose people were
am bilious that she should marry rich,
felt that his case was hopeless as his
bank account was very small. One
day an old gentlemen who liked the
young fellow offered him $4,000 for
one of his legs ~ am poor enough, ?"
he replied, "but can't afford to sell
it for that" Later on the old gentle
men casually remarked to the father
of the girl that young Blank must be
getting along pretty well as he had
refused an offer of $40, 900 for piece
Of property which he had made him.
The ruse worked and the young man
soon had wife whom he would not
have sold for $l.000,O 900.
So, estimated along this line, what
are you worth? 1t is safe to say you
would not let either of your arms or
legs go for $40, 900, and that means an
aggregate of 100000. You would
not part with an eye for $4,000 nor
with both for 100000 1t would
cost a good sum to buy the right to
clip off either of your ears, and your
teeth if sound are worth at minimum
:200apiece and wouldn t let the whole
81 go if strong and sound for much
higher rate. The government puts
property rating on the different men,
bers of its pensioners bodies and up
on their physical health. 1t is not
easy to say just what it is but the
loss of an arm calls for an income
equal to about the interest on so, 900;
the loss of both arms would be ac-
counted as deserving pay several
times that amount; and the loss of
both eyes is counted of sufficient i'm
portance to give a man life income
which would support him and give
him an attendant. 1t is evident then
that young man who is sound in
head, limb and health has the equival-
ant of handsome money capital; IN
fact who would change places if so
equipped, with millionaire who had
lost both eyes or both arms? 1t may
be rather unusual way of looking at
the matter, butwhen you are bemoaa-
ing the fact young man, that you
have a poor start in the word. Just
consider for moment and see if you
have not really splendid good start.

A Prophecy in Numbers.

Four of our presidents have died in
office, viz, w. III. Harrison, ninth
president; Zachary Taylor, twelfth
president; Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth
president, Jas. A. Garfield, twentieth
president.
Note the bers 8, y, 10, 20.
You will perceive we have two
quares, i. e., and 16, 9 the square
of 3 and 16 the square of 4. The Ia
tally begins with the magic number
8 or times ;. The next number is
II, the multiple of 3 and its consecu-
tive 1 Then follows 10, the square
of 4, or 4x4. Lastly comes 20, the
product of 4 and its consecutive 5.
SO the fatal numbers stand thus:
3x3-9
3x4-12
4x4=16
4x5-20
Continuing the same order the
next fatal number will fall on the
square of 5-5x5=25.

GAVE. EN- A THRILL
Germans Were Uncommonly Inter-
e>ted In the Message.

Berlin. Dec. THE message of
President Roosevelt caused a mild
thrill in Germany On the bourse
where il was eagerly awaited, the
message was received with uncom-
mon interest, and the market general
1y was slightly stimulated upon the
posting of bulletin containing Presi
dent Roosevelt's utterances about
trusts The shares of the steamship
companies fell one or two points on
account of the immigration inspection
paragraph and the proposed develop
ment OF the merchant marine. Sew
eral financial journals aver that there
is no reason why the United States
should encourage shipbuilding. They
say that if the United States becomes
possessed of a commercial fleet she
will have to build il. insomuch as the
attempts to buy German lines o,
steamers have been defeated.
President Roosevelt's words con
corning the restriction of immigration
contain an unpleasant suggestion il
