The first sight of Fifth Avenue, with
its frantic rush of people. suggested to
her nothing so much as "a lot of chick
ems with their heads cut off. flying in
all directions" In one of the busy
thoroughfares of New York she could
see at a glance more people than she
had thought the world contained.
Her farmyard supplied her with an
other simile later in the day, when she
saw crowd OF ladies five deep at
bargain counter, like a yard full o.
chickens round a plate o cornmeal."
OF course she could only compare the
unfamiliar things she saw with the IA

The Battery was also something of
a disappointment, soldiers, cannons,
forts, flying flags, ETC., not being so
much in evidence as she expected.
The sight of Trinity Church and st.

most enthusiastic remarks were made
over the graves of the ancient dead.

Make your wife pay cash. A woman
never really understands money till
she's done that for while. I've no
ticed that people rarely pay down the
money for foolish purchases-they
charge them. And it's mighty seldom
that a woman's extravagant unless she
or her husband pays the bills by check
There's something about counting out
the actual legal tender on the spot that
keeps a woman from really wanting
lot of things which she thinks she
wants.
When married your Ma your grand
pa was keeping eighteen niggers busy
seeing that the family did nothing.
Shed had a liberal education, which, so
far as I've been able to find out. means
teaching a woman everything except
the real business that she's going into
that is, if she marries. But when your
Ma snapped the big house and the eigh-
teen niggers for me and an old nanny
to do the rough work she left the
breakfast-in-bed, fine-lady business be-
hind her and started right in to get the
rest of the education that belonged to
her. She did a mighty good job. too,
all except making ends meet, and they
were too elastic for her at first--sort of
snapped back and left a deficit just
when she thought she had got them
together.
She was mighty sorry about it, but
shed never heard of any way of get
ting money excepting asking papa Tor
it. and she'd sort of supposed that
every one asked papa when they want

L finally made her see that 1 couldn't

and that I couldn't ask hers, because
it was against the rules of the game as
I PLAYED it. and that was her first real
lesson in low finance.

Got His Latin Mixed.

John Allen of Mississippi, says that
after the Civil War a Yankee shoe
maker opened a cobbler's shop in
Vicksburg. Over the sign bearing his
name and business he fixed the Latin
aphorism, Mems Conseia Recti,'' which
means, "a Mind Conscious of Recti-
tude.''
An ex-Confederate Shoemaker had
opened a shop on the opposite side OF
the street That Yankees Latin
words puzzled him for d long time. He
wanted to get even. and he finally solv-
ed the problem, concluding to get more
than even. One morning when the
Yankee opened his shop he glanced
across the street and discovered that
his Confederate competitor had a great
big sign bearing the remarkable leg
end: Mems and Women's Conscia

made, until in the end I had paid her
