Business Men Who Have
Recreation Time

Very often the remark is made con-
cerning business men who have many
interests. that they seem to have so
much spare time at their disposal. The
secret is that they economize in their
work in a dozen ways that small
business man would never think of
Frank A. Burrelle, the dean of press
clippers, who conducts the largest press
clipping bureau in the world, when
seen in his New York office recently
made the astonishing statement that
he considered that his bureau had
laid the foundation of many large firms
in America by economizing the time
of big business men.
Business men of large caliber," said
Mr.. Burrelle, make 1t a point of never
to miss seeing anything in the news
papers which they ought to see, wheth-
er it is about themselves or about any
of the numerous interests in which they
are concerned. Since it would be diff
cult for such business man or his
clerks to make a sufficiently close ex-
animation of all the papers every day,
he subscribeS to the Burrelle bureau
which does the work for him with a
system and thoroughness that would
be impossible in his office. Here, at
very small expense, a big detail Is
taken off his mind. Each day there is
sent to him every line printed that con-
Germs him. A clerk glances through
the items, the less important are
weeded out and those which IL is con-
sidered the business man ought to see
are placed before him. Hours of time
day are saved and this is just one
way in which the big financier shaves
off time for recreation"

Next Wednesday. February 22, lo05 will mark the one hundred and seventy third anniversary of George Washington's birth. Virginia proudly boasts of his na- tiYity, but not alone does Virginia hold his memory dear, for throughout the United States of North America hls name Is held in reverence, and his birthday, made a legal holiday, is loyally observed In every hamlet, town and city of our Union.
 Many stories are told of George Wash ington's boyhood and youth, the hatchet incident being the one most familiar to all. But the following story, read re- gently In history of colonial times, may bear repeating here.
 His mother owned a flne hlghspirited young horse. her favorite animal of the stables, but owing to the fact that this beautiful beast was rather unmanngeabie, young George was forbidden to ride 1t.
 However, like many another boy since his time, the warning was forgotten In a moment of temptation, and seeing the horse sadded and bridled. the daring,

the gate minuteI We are planning on or ganizing a little club-a Saturday morn- ing mendlng club-and you may tell us what you think about it."
 Mrs Topping obeyed her pretty 13-year- old daughters request and listened at tentiyely to the plan. ..'I think it splen- did idea she agreed. And since you have gone this far, let me make a sugges- tion. Today there came under my notice a very poor family, consisting of wid- owed mother and three little daughters. They are in very sad circumstances, need ing food, clothes and fnel. I have sent our man to them with basket of provi sions and a bushel or coal. Tomorrow shall look further Into their case. Now, what do you all think of this propositionf Suppose you give your first Saturday morning to this poor family by helping to fix some suitable winter clothing for them. l am sure that each of you can find in her own closet and clothes press plenty of cast-of, half-worn garments that will need only cutting down and mending to meet with the needs of these three little girls. Madge may undertake the responsibility of fitting the mother out, for l have quite stock of garments I can spare from my own wardrobe"
 All the girls eagerly acquiesced, saying they would love to devote their Saturday mornings in serving in some way those In need, and before going to their homes Leonie, Grace and Ethel promised to come promptly at 9 o'clock on the following mornng-which would be Saturday-and bring with them what they could find in the way of clothing to work over for Mrs. Topping's newly found. deserving poor.
 On the stroke of the hour the next morning the three happy girls rang the

Say, girls, let's have a sewing club" exclaimed Madge Topping as she walked homeward from school in company with her three chums, Ethel Cheney, Leonie Grey and Grace Bryan. I'm tired of cooking clubs, with nothing to do but eat up the results of our work, and I'm tired of our conversational club, with it's light talk and suited manners. It's too grown up for me. But I think 1t would be the greatest fun for us four to meet at each others homes on Saturday morning and sew in an old-fashioned way. Mamma al- ways insists on my mending my own clothes and alarming my own stockings, and those of you who have to do likewise might bundle up your sewing and bring it to the club. where we could have jolly little visit as we work
 Second the suggestion" euthusiastical- Iy cried Leonie Grey. ''I don't only mend my own clothes, but darn papa's socks and turn his light silk neckties-"
 Turn his neckties?' interrogated Grace Bryan with some astonishment. Why, you must be very clever with the needle. How do you do it?''
 Just by simple twist of the silk" " laughed Grace. "I'll show you the trick some Saturday--after we've organized"
 We'll" sighed Ethel Cheney, T never get to do any mending nor alarming. guess grandma would think 1t worse than throwing the things away for me to get to work on them. Once begged to make a dress for my doll-that was when l was only ten and still played with such things--and grandma permitted me to try my hand on a blue muslin wrapper she was making for herself. Really, l wish you girls could have seen the stitches-an inch long each and the seam as crooked
