VALUE OF SMALL ECONOMIES.
Writer Says They petraet from the
Realities Of Life.


A story is told OF well-known phil
anthropist of the last century which
aptiy illustrates not uncommon state
OF mind. Two gentlemen were can
wasting together for q religious or
charitable society. On ascending the
steps of the philanthropist's house,
they overheard the master sharply
scoiding a housemaid for wasting half
a match. ut Is Of no use calling here"
said one OF the collectors to the other.
But they did call, and. to their great
surprise, received liberal donation.
The visitors were made so welcome
that the more inouisitive OF the two
gained courage to inquire Of the donor
how It happened that he, who was evil
IDENTITY so generous. should think 1t
necessary to rate domestic for such
q trifiing offense. "Oh." was the re-
ply, ut is simply this: II did not
save in these small matters I should
have nothing to give to charity" Doubt
less the good man thought he spoke
the truth, and SO think many people
who are constantly quoting the prov
erb which says that II you take care
OF the pennies the pounds will take
care Of themselves. The fact Is that
such petty savings are usually more
q matter Of temperament than Of cal.

Real Power Of the

power of Moslem belief in the sacred
ness of his person, that he would have
but to raise his hand to gather to his
standard every adult of the faithful.
Within month he could. II need be,
place million and half men in the
field. They would be ill-clad. but well
armed; they would suffer considerably
from hunger and from disease. but
they would not lack ammunition. and
they would bring with them to the
battle ground that spirit of bravery
and determination which goes with
fanaticism, and an obstinate power of
physical resistance such as could be
shown by no other troops in the world.
but which in the Turks is the outcome
of their intense love for their threat

tion to him they call master.
