NEWSLETS

A man once saved his money In n very
prudent way.
He put a little by for fear there'd be a
rainy day;
He Needed all the maxims about thrift
and work and health
And reverenced economy, which Is the
source OF wealth.
He made some small investments, and
some larger after while,
And listened for applause when he assum-
ed a better style.
But some OF those who knew him sneered,
while others simply sighed.
He had practiced all the virtues. but they
weren't satisfied.
He looked the situation DER with sadness
and dismay.
And said: II guess Til go ahead and give
the stuff away"
He built a lot OF buildings and sincerely
strove 10 find
A way To spend his money, that would
herefit mankind.
But people looked askance at him and
said: II told you so:
The art OF spending money is thing he
doesn't know.
It's scandalous To contemplate such os-
tentatious pride"
He did hts best 20 please them, but they
weren't satisfied.

result in several carload shipments
in the future.

lie was handling the hay fork while
unloading and in some way lost his
balance, falling off the front end of
the wagon. This frightened the
horses and they started to run, the
wagon passing over his left arm and
hip. The arm and hip were both
broken and badly crushed, making
very severe injury. At last re-
