she stir.
'She done say" said the unsuccessful
envoy on his return to town, dat she

Hapgood in Ainslee's, g is the economy
that consists In doing things on a large
scale, in producing much rather than
in saving little The old system of
economy consists in picayune retrench-
ment Take care of the pennies, and
the dollars will take care of them
selves, is, from modern point of view,
as false as it is trite. That a hundred
French families can live on what one
American family throws away is an ex-
aggeration, but were it not 1t would
indicate the soundness of American
economy. not the lack Of it. Whence
comes the tremendous energy of our
nation in business, in production. in
growth generally, in practical improve
ments and inventions? 1t comes from
a high standard of living. To do much
work nourishment is necessary. and
who are so well nourished as Ameri-
cans? What nation consumes so much
good food, in what other country do
the people demand so many Injuries?
Where do they demand so much from

BINDING A SHARK.
How a Pearl Diver Escaped a vora

now u FGATA liver ESCAPED a ORA
ciOus Man Eater.
A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such a
man connected with large wrecking
company was visiting some years ago
the pearl fisheries in the gulf of Cali
fornia, where sharks abounded. On
one of his trips in quest of the pearl
oyster he had narrow escape from a
fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
quickly about and caught sight of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was large rock. He moved
quickly to the other side of it, hoping
to dodge the ferocious monster, but the
maneuver did not work. The shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by slight motion of his pow
erful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover of that he might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the water
thick with mud In less than half min
ute
Slipping around the rock again, he
rose to the surface. having barely
strength enough to reach the side of
the boat, and was hauled on board just
as the voracious man eater made a
rush for him.

Everybody said, when old General
Ainsworth died and it was found that
injudicious stock speculation had prac-

that Evan Ainsworth should establish
himself as a florist. Several of their
set, they argued. who had suddenly
found themselves compelled to earn

course. and ''the set resented innoya-

servatories had been famous.
Precisely because everybody had
suggested a florists shop Evan Aims

very well at first, he argued, when
your shop is a novelty and people
bought flowers in the name of sweet
charity, but he knew little about flow
ers, not enough to make the business
an independent success. On the other
hand, his amateur photographs had
gained distinction at various exhibit
tions. Very sensibly he decided to de-
velop this talent, ana so he secured a
position as operator in an obscure gal
lery, where he could gain experience
with skylight work. Two months later
Evan Ainsworth was practically for

For this Evan was thankful, for the
dark days following his fathers death
