No one would buy sailboat with
sails that could not be reefed. There
is always that possibility OF a little
too much wind that makes cautious
man afraid to go unprovided. The
thinking man, whose stomach some
times goes back on him, provides for
his stomach by keeping a bottle of
Kodol For Dyspepsia within reach.

A Missing Five Franc Piece.

Fully half the grownup people of
France believe the old story that Napo-
leon Bonaparte put check for 100000
francs in silver five franc piece and
that the coin is yet in circulation. They
say that the people did not want the
five franc piece and that in order to
create demand for it Napoleon re-
sorted to the device mentioned. The
check or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestus paper and in
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands Of FIVE franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been so inspected since the story
of the check was first circulated.

The Last Battle Of the Revolution.

last battle of the Revolution was

country's flag over her dwelling.

the British troops, and cent SER
geant to order it to be taken down.
Mrs. Day refused compliance. At
about nine o'clock in the morning,
while Mrs. Day was quietly sweeping
in front of her home, burly British
officer, in full uniform, with a pow
dered wig, walked rapidly down the
street. he halted before Mrs. Day,
and roughly inquired, "Who hoisted
that rebel fag2" Mrs. Day, looking
the angry officer full in the face, said,

the flag, when Mrs. Day few at him
with her broom and beat him go Sc
verely over the head that she knock
ed off his hat and made the powder
fly from his wig. He stormed and
tugged in vain at the halyards, for
they were tangled, and Mrs. Day ap-
piled her broomstick SO vigorously
that the clustering provost marshal
was finally compelled to bsat a hasty
retreat, leaving the American flag
floating in triumph over the wellde-

the best epitome of the rules of his
life IS furnished in his own words:
He never gives Il note.
He never buys n share OF stock on mar
gin.
He IS against speculation.
He is no borrower.
FIe has made it a point not to incumber
his business with mortgages
He does business on .''oaSh basis
He tries 40 sell on shorter time than

He tries to sell the same grade of goods

He holds his customers to Il strict meet

He made those rules years ago and
never announced any revision. If any
OF his great enterprises afterward re-
quired the borrowing of money it was
never known that he had borrowed it.

himself rich. He made his associates
rich. One man after another has step
