The beef trust has caused meny peO-
pie to be deprived of toothsome steak,
but the growing gardens have supplied

find that vegetables palatable.
An article in an exchange tells how
to test counterfeit bills. Gracious
goodness; bills do not stay with us
long enough to test them. They are
made for circulation and we keep them
on the go.
When Marietta young man heard
OF the marriage of a young lady, in
thoughtful mood, he exclaimed ''What
did she do that for? / want to marry
her myself" Sure enough, why was
she hasty? Delays are dangerous.
Most men, when there is dull rainy
day, are at liberty to do lot of work
long neglected, but a newspaper man
is compelled to work harder during
dull time than at any other, to make
anything of showing
Half the people in the world think
they could do better and be happier
elsewhere than they happen to be
placed. They see only the thorns, the
drudgery and disagreeable things in
their vocation, and only the flowers
and pleasant experiences in the voca
ion of others .-Succass
What great pity it is that some
people can never learn that tattling or
low talk about others, or classifying
others has never added the minutest
lustre TO themselves, but on the other
hand dimmed what they did possess.
Such as these would profit by learning
the often repeated saying of Shake
speare. He who steals my purse
steals trash, but he who pliers from
me my good name takes that which en-
riches not himself but which leaves
me poor indeed"
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia re-
Gently visited mining parish for the

ment of confirmation He asked
nervous little girl what matrimony was

Here is one that is being passed
around by the newspapers that is ap-
plicable to all towns. There's is no
reasonable excuse for a man living in a
town if he doesn't like it. If you have
no word of commentator to say for
your town, its institutions or its PEG
pie, emigrate. You won't stop the
course of events by going away, neith-
Ell. will your carping criticism cut any
figure if you remain. The church bells
will have the same musical ring, the
dogs will play just as briskly, the fish
will bite just as well and the pure air
and bright sunshine will have the
same health giving properties. Speak
good word for your neighbors if you
can, if you can't don't everlastingly
enlarge their faults. If you have be-
come thoroughly sour and disgusted
and cannot see any good in your town,
move away go somewhere where
things suit you"

achieves greatness without MAX

1t may be that education makes
tools of some men and money
makes fools of others, but the
majority are born foolish.
