Give , man a 10-cent ciga and he

which to buy it for himself and he
will throw it in your face. Give a man
a pass to a show and he will call you
a good fo~'ow in all the languages at
his disposal; offer him the money to
buy a ticket and he will call you a
fool. Ask a man to your home to
take pot luck" and he will jump at
the chance; give him 81 and tell him
to get a good meal at a cafe with your
compliments and he will knock you
down. The dollar is mighty, but it
isn't warm. Nothing chills hospitality
and good fellowship more than the
touch of cold metal. You may spend
money on a friend, but you must not
ask him to touch it. Silver isn't a
good conductor and you can't transmit
half as much cordially and hospital

a dollar as by means of a bad cigar.
Money substitutes for good looks and

The Smith Connection
~E\EALOGISTS

CENEALOGISTS say that the name
~ Smith IS such common one in all
English speaking countries because in early
times not merely non workers We're styled
smiths, but also those engaged in any line Of
metal working.
In France Smith masquerades as lie Fevre;
and in Germany as Schmidt or SChntt; IN
Holland. Snlid or Smits. In Italy, the familiar
name Is recognized with difficulty in Fabbronl
and Fabronicss; in Scotland it IS found more
readily in the Gowans; in Wales, Gotf and
Cowan both stand for the same name; IN
Slav tongues Smith becomes koracS. The
Celtic race never was addicted to trade names,
preferring personal, local, or patronvmic
TERMS still there are MactfOwan and Nc
lntvre, both meaning the son of Smith.
The Smith derivatives so to speak, are with
out number, as Smvth, Smvthe, Smevth,
Smeith, Smit, Smyte, lie Smyt, and the like.
Then come Goldsmith, SiiverSmith, Copper
smith, Locksnith, Whitesrnith, BrownSmith,
Blacksmith, Arrowsmth. Speersnith, Rede-
smith, knyfesmith, Nasmyth (nailsmith),
Hydlesmith, and So on to the crack OF doom.
