it amounts to Much Less Than He Pays

Comparatively. what man wears

course. the man who attempts to keep
up with the procession OF the ultra
faShionablcs must necessarily spend
n good sum of money during his life
time. He must humor the changing
moods of the men who set the pace
in fashion. He must have the very
latest thing out His coat must De
the proper cut. his hat the proper
shape, his trousers just so and his
tie the proper color But there are
many men in the world who cannot
pay so much respect to fashion. and
hence we may strike an average be-
tween the two extremes in dress.
we will put the case alphabetically
and assume that man lives TO Ie
thirty-hve years of age. We will as
sumo that he will wear the clothes
of Il grown man for this length OF
time. On an average, | suppose
man will wear out six shirts during
the year, or 4 total of 21O i'm life
time. Suppose he pays seventy-tive
cents each for them. This would he
$3.50 a year, or S15T.jO that he would
pay out i'm a lifetime of thirty-hvc
years. He would wear twelve col
lars year. of 40 i'm thirty-hve years.
and if he wore the cheaper grade of
collars, 1j-cent collars. he would
spend SOS in thirty-hve years Allow
ing two whole suits of clothes a year.
and at the average of $50 a suit lie
would spend in this way $1,000 in
thirty-fve years. If we allow him an
average OF four suits of underwear
year, he would need 40 suits. and at
the nominal price of 81 "A suit they
would cost him $40 in thirty-tiyc
years. Two hats every twelve months
would mean Il total of seventy hats.
and if he paid an average of SO each
for them the total number would cost
him $210. His shoes, allowing him
two pairs year. and fixing the cost
at 81 pair, would cost him $3.50 i'm
n lifetime. Now, on the basis of cal
culation, 4 man would spend about
$225O in a lifetime for clothes. There
are, of course. many men who spend
much more than this amount and there
are many men who spend much less.
But this calculation may be taken as
reasonable average.
1T will be observed that neckties.
socks. suspenders, garters and things
of that sort are not taken into con
sideration. Laundry bills, cleaning,
mending and other things which in
crease the cost of Il mans wearing
apparel are not considered. These
costs would probably double the fig
ures, and in some instances, as in the
case of shirts and collars. the origi-
nal cost of the article would he moth
ing in comparison to the cost of keep
ing them.
But taking all things into consider
alton, a mans wearing apparel will
cost him less than the food that he
eats. Suppose a man is allowed three
X reals each day at the nominal cost
of twenty-five cents n meal. in thirty
five years he would spend about $945O
for food, or about four times The
amount he would spend for clothes"

McKinney's attractiveness-were three
miners. the now famous trio who dis
covered gold on the Anvil and who or
gained the Pioneer Mining company

The day chosen for the christening
was Sunday. 1t dawned r%adiantly
cloudless-a typical Alaskan summers
day. The little settlement where the
great event was to transpire awoke to
the realization that it was a day of
special import to the colony and that
it must be up and doing in order to re-
ceive the expected guests.
In recalling the experiences Of that
eventful day Miss Mckinney says:
"As the benediction was pronounced
this young man looked up, his blue eyes
full of baby wonder, his mouth
wreathed in baby smiles, and softly
cooed what seemed to MS to be an
Amen or. at least. signifed his au-
gust babvship's approval of the cere-
monies and appreciation of the honor
Of being the first child ever christened
on Anvil creek"
Among the many gifts received by
Master Lampe on this suspicious oc-
casion were three staked claims in the
KIondike. given by the three godfa-
theirs. These claims were considered
nice little presents, the value of which
was problematical. pleasant feature
of the gifts was the wide fields #
speculation which they afforded. Per-
haps they were not worth the paper
on which the deeds were written-per-
haps they represented a gold minr.
