The Duluth Herald has in mind a
man who began with nothing and be-
came wealthy by practicing the stingi-
est economy. As soon as his oldest
boy and girl We're old enough they ran
away from home. Then he realized his
error and after moving from the farm
into town that his younger children

Economy is great virtue, but that
economy which leads to stinginess and
deprivation does not pay. The extrav-

The stingy man is despised and hated
by his fellow men. The eXtravagant
person is condemned because his habits

Does It Pay to Be StinqY?

The Nissourian of Richmond, Mo-,
says the stingiest man it knows of
hives in Ray county. He was married
by the justice of the peace and paid the
bill in turnips. For wedding trip he
took his wife to Richmond in his lum-
Der wagon and for a wedding dinner
they ate a dimes worth of bologna and
box of crackers as they walked around
the public square. Before starting for
home he bought a nickePs worth of
candy, and as he opened the sack for a
second stick he stammered, "Say, my
woman, 'sposin' we save the rest of this
here candy for the children"
The Missourian made up the above,
and it is clever take-off on the
stingy man. A writer in The Duluth
Herald takes it as a taxi for an ar
ticle on extravaganza and economy. The
besetting sin of most people is extrava-
gance, and that is what keeps the ma
jority living from hand to mouth
"Tney do not mean to be extravagant
and they do not live any too WE'LL but
they really live beyond their means be-
cause they do not know how to man.
age"
That states the whole case in a nut
shell.
Any man who has good health may
become rich if he will only make it a
rule to spend less than he earns. Almost

Teller got his start in life in this way
and although he is now a liberal givel
it is safe to say that his outgo never

But does it pay for a man to deprive
himself and his family of the good
things of life in order that he may be-
come rich? The Kansas City Journal
tells the story briefly in these words

0yama, the Japanese General.

An astute general and brave SOL
der is the japanese commander, Oyama.
He possesses the bulldog tenacity of a
Grant and the dash of a Sheridan. He
is admired by the people of all nations,
except possibly those of Russia. His
brilliant compaign against the cars
forces have brought him fame which
will long endure. In the light of his
stupendous achievements we do not
wonder that such proud and courage
Gus people as the Irish are claiming him
as one of their own. At Logansport,
Ind, few days ago an eloquent Irish
orator declared that General Oyama was
of irish descent and still bore the or
iginal Irish name. 1t is claimed that
his forfathers bore the name OYama.
The original O'Yama, whose given name
was Patrick, left Ireland during the Eliz-
abethan era for France, but was ship
wrecked in the Bay of Biscay and res
cued by a Spanish ship bound for the
Philippines. He was taken there and
cast adrift. His descendants went to
Japan and turned naturally to the ca
reer of fighting men. Intermarriage with
the natives gave them standing and po-
sition close to the mikado, which was
advanced by their activity in military
affairs.
Marshal Oyama has been a soldier all
his life. He comes of fighting stock, be-
ing of the Satsuma clan and the de-
scendant of centuries of Samurai. Ira
dition gave him the instincts of the
soldier and his education developed
them. the japanese army of today is
largely his creation. Unlike most Jap
anese, Okama is big man. He is tall,
broad shouldered, deep-chested and in
clined to stoutness. He is, in his of
fetal relations, man of few words, but
in society most genial and charming,
fond of wit, with delicious sarcasm
and a great fund of humor. In his
home or at an entertainment he is al
!, ways the center of a group of bright
men, officers of the army, foreign dip
lomats and men of learning. These are
the men whom he attracts and holds
by his delightful personality. s,q .Hlf
SEQ He is man of tremendous foresight
always looking ahead and seeing what
win be necessary to do almost as if he
had prophetic visions. There are many
great soldiers who are splendid organ
izers, but of not much use as actual
fighters. Marshal 0yama is not of
these. He is a fine, practical fighter, as
his campaigns against China and Rus
STA show. A daring strategist and a
man of great personal bravery. He has
the faculty of gathering about him men
of high character and ability, of in
spring them and getting them to work
together without friction. His personal
staff in the present war is the best
illustration of this. General Okama is
about sixty years old.
