Playing q Fool Game.

Never ask man what he knows, but
what he can do. A fellow may know
everything that's happened since the
Lord started the ball to rolling and not
be able to do anything to help keep it
from stopping. But when man can
do anything he's bound to know some
thing worth while. Books are all right,
but dead mems brains are no good un.
less you mix live ones with them
1t isn't what d mans got in the bank,
but what he's got in his head, that
makes him great merchant Rob a
miser's safe and he's broke, but you
can't break a big merchant with jim
my and stick of dynamite The first
would have to start again just where
he began-hoarding up pennies; the sec
ond would have his principal assets in
tact. But accommodating knowledge or
piling up money just to have little
more of either than the next fellow is
fool game that no broad gagged man
has time enough to sit in. Too much
learning, like too much money, makes
most men narrow.-From "Old Gorgon
Graham; More Letters From Self
Made Merchant to His Son. by George

After you've been married little
while you're going to find that there
are two kinds of happiness you can
have-home happiness and fashionable
happiness. With the first kind you get
a lot of children and with the second
a lot of dogs. While dogs mind better
and seem more affectionate, because
they kiss you with their whole face,
I've always preferred to associate
of happiness you keep house for your
self, and for the second you keep
house for the neighbors
You can buy Il lot of home happiness
with Il mighty small salary, but fash
ionable happiness always costs just
little more than you're making You
can't keep down expenses when
you've got to keep up appearances
that is. the appearance of being some
thing that YOU amt You're in the fix
of a dog chasing his tail-you can't
make ends meet, and if you do it'll
give you such crick in your neck
that you won't get any real satisfac-
ton out of your gymnastics. You've
got to live on a rump steak, basis when
you're alone SO that you can appear to
be on Il quail on toast basis when You
have company. And while they're eat
ing your quail and betting that they're
cold storage birds they'll be whisper
ing to each other that the butcher
told their cook that you lived all last
week on a soup bone and two pounds
of hamburger steak. Your wife must
hog ii around the house in an old
wrapper because she's got to have two
or three of those dresses that come
high on the bills and low on the
shoulders, and when she wears 'em
the neighbors are going to wonder
how much you're short in your ac-
counts. And if you've been raised a
shouting Methodist and been used to
hollering your satisfaction in good
hearty ''Glory." OR ''Halleluiah!'
you've got to quit 1t and go to one of
those churches where the right an
swer to the question what is the
chief end of man?' is Dividend" and
where they think you're throwing a fit
and sick the sexton on to you if you
forget yourself and whoop it up lit
tie when your religion gets to work
ing.
Then if you do have any children
you can't send them to a plain public
school to learn reading. writing and
arithmetic, because they've got to go to
fashionable private one to learn hog
Latin, hog wash and how much the
neighbors are worth. OF course the
rich children are going to say that
they're pushing little kids, but they've
got to learn TO push and to shove and
to butt right in where they're not
wanted if they intend to herd with the
real Angora billy goats. They've got to
learn how to bow low to every one
III front of them and to kick out at
every one behind them It's been my
experience that it takes good four
year course in snubbing before you can
graduate first class snob.
Then when you've sweat along at
it for a dozen years or SO you'll wake
up some morning and discover that
your appearances haven't deceived any
one but yourself. A man who tries
that game is a good deal like the fell
low who puts on fancy vest over
dirty shirt-he's the only person in the
world who can't see the egg spots un-
der his chin.

You want to remember that beside

and Helen have lived together for Il
year you ought to be so well aequaint-

life there are apt to be good many tie

THOUSANDS SEE FIRE
SWEEP MOUND LOWE
Flames Imperil People on Noun
tain and Cause Loss Of
$3.50, 900.

Pasadena, CAL, Dec. 9.-Fire which
started at the foot of the trail of
Echo mountain at daybreak swept
Mount Lowe today, destroying every
building except the observatory, ruin
ing property to the extent Of a quarter
of million dollars. The Pacific Elec-
trio company's powerhouse, which
served an inclined railway, and all
the machinery is total loss. The
Casino and the railway company IS
hotel soon followed, the few people
who live in the settlement being forced
to flee for their lives. Then the flames
swept across the high plateau on which
Echo mountain settlement stood, to-
ward the observatory, short distance
above Echo mountain on the side of
the hill. But by almost superhuman
efforts the employees of the observa-
tory managed to divert the flames,
causing them to pass around the build
ing. The destruction of telegraph and
telephone and other electric lines on
Echo mountain prevents communica-
tion with Alpine tavern, which seemed
doomed this afternoon.
From this city and the north section
Of Los Angeles the progress of the
flames was easily watched by thou
sands.
