Lucky Golf Drive

A Montreal art dealer was recently
playing golf in a rural district, and
drove ball through the window OF
a cottage. Out came the occupant, a
French Canadian virago, who abused
him with startling volubility When
her flow of words had slackened a bit
the Montreal man offered to pay for
the damage, but the window, it appear
ed, was not the only casualty. The
ball had fractured the glass of pic
ture frame. The incident finished by
the dealer buying the picture for S.,
besides paying for the broken pane.
The painting he took away with him
and carefully examined. 1t turned out
to be Dutch interior by Teniers,
which he sold for $4,000. The French
lady received one-half of this
sum.

Fishes and Sound.

The sense of hearing in fishes is
still matter of uncertainty They
have no ears resembling those of the

began talking with man soon
after we left the morning train, and
some remark brought up the subject
of his health
He said: II have not been feeling
well for three weeks"
Your health is generally good, isn't
it?"
Yes, am usually as strong as an
OK, but l have been working too hard
and I wish my vacation came to-day
in place of a month from to-day"
How to take care of yourself while
you overwork is a pretty good subject
to study"
Eyes, l should say it was. I sleep
pretty well, although l dreamt last
night that l was a cashier in bank
and was taking an inventory of the
stock when the papers in the safe
caught fire."

Lucky Druggists.

The number OF druggists shops in
German towns is strictly limited. and
new licenses are rarely granted. The
value OF these licensed establishments
is therefore constantly growing. At
Breslau a druggists shop has Just
changed hands for $4,000. including
$4,000 for the license alone. At Dan
zig druggists business recently real
lied $500. including $4,000 for the
license. II was sold fortnight later
for E9.6o0. including $4,000 for the
license. Answers

Lending Money.

Years ago I read that young man
should be satisfied with low and safe
rate of interest and take the advice Of
those more experienced-to not know
it all. I have been very fortunate in
not losing money lent to friends. Ere
quently I give small sums to old
friends who are now deadbeats and
wish to borrow for a few hours or
days. l never get such sums back and
never expect to when l let it go. But
whenever 1 have lent $50, more or less,
to friend and expected it back it has
come. / think this is due to my use
Of a discriminating judgment before
lending. Once it cost me a good deal
over a thousand dollars cash to dis
obey my better judgment and go into
side-line business with friend. I
did not get the counsel of those to
whom l should have gone, and 1 re-
fused to follow my own feelings. l
was "roped" in by talk.

Ones sphers of Usefulness.

One of the most important things
for us to learn early, is what we are
able to do and not to do. As for my.
self, believe j was born without .
sense OF money value. and as look
back and note my expenditures and in
vestments, feel that | might have
had nice little property to-day had I
put my wasted dimes and dollars reg
ularly in some trustworthy place Il
has taken me quarter of century
to recognize my inability to lend mon
ey commercially, or in a wise way so
cially. and feel like saying to all
young people the quicker you can ind
out what you can do well, and what
you are unable to do well. the better \
will be for you.

The manager, for a very successful
money maker, said that he worried
over the big things, while his employ
er worried over the little things
The manager got along with the
employees and the details better than
the proprietor did, but the proprietor
! got along with the whole business
much better than the manager could.
Some men can keep anything rum
ming lovely if some one else will only
see that pay day is passed in good
shape. The man able to attend to
payday requirements might rattle
the whole concern if he were to see to
little things.
A man able to make a hundred dol
lars an hour may be able to hire for
hundred dollars a month man who
can do some things better than the
employer can do them.
Few are able to get living doing
just what they want to do, and very
few are willing to limit their efforts
to the things they can do the best
One man told me that more men
failed in his line of work for lack of
ability to handle men than for any
other or all other reasons.
Few men know how to interest,
animate, educate. and keep on good
terms with other men. In some cases
the more you know the more in the !
background you have to go, due it may
be to having more knowledge than
skill.
In one case, of an unpopular fore
man going on vacation and a popu-
lar workman taking his place for the
day, the product was over twenty per
cent more than usual.
If ten thousand men of all kinds
should find themselves out of work,
one might create ideas, another exc
cute them, another organize and man
age the others.
Some could do some parts of the de-
tail work twice as well as some of
the others could One would be a
good buyer of material and another
good collector of accounts.
Some would win honors and some
would get disgraced. but they would
finally drift or climb, fall or jump, to !
positions just as we find them to-day. {
Only this difference-the successful S
night make better use of their success {
Ind the failures profit by their ex-
'ensive experiences more than they
lave been doing during this century.
If this possibility were to be ac- /
omplished the next century would be e
nore than a hundred years ahead, and b
he common humdrum life would be t
ute ideal. L
If our best intelligence were to &C c
ompany our every action much would a
e done. We all know why things are k
OF better than they are. "

was on the pond in steam launch and
saw the accideut he started at once to
their rescue aud pulled Blake and Holden
into his boat in badly exhausted condi-
tion, but the other two sank before he

The Knights Of Pythias Of this city held

Rev. F. A. Poole, yincitla Lodge, K. Of
r, and the Uniformed Rank and several
visiting brothers from Montpelier, atts..d-
ing the service in a body.
The sermon by Rev. Mr. Poole was an
able and inspiring one, paying high tri-
butte to the fraternal work Of the lodge and
wishing it God speed in the Masters
name, His text was from ST. John 1915,
mo longer do / call you servant for the

stand it, BY such friendship, such fidelity
and such love as makes men brothers, and
| thank you for this opportunity to say
God speed.
There are other fraternal bodies who
would compare your lodge with theirs,
perhaps little to your disadvantage but
you have named the name Of friendship
and have named your pledge which stands
for all that Is noble and true in mankind
The Masters name Is friendship and
who shall name the works Of mercy that
have been done in the world through
friendship? Your fidelity tells Of friends
