hat are you doing with your share of the general
prosperity? Throwing it away in high livinge
Carelessly letting it out through your fingers in
thousand and one unnecessary little expenses?
Then 1t is being lost to you forever.
The tremendous increase in wealth in the United
States today is phenomenon that amazes the world.
1t is due primarily to the fortunate succession of good
crops and to the development of natural resources The
western farmers and the southern planters have had an
abundance of grain and and cotton and the prices
have been good. Nevada and other states have
contributed enormously Every line of business has
usual activity.
There indeed no end to the general accumulation
of riches.
The fruits not Justly divided as they might be-
but that is another matter
The present situation is not without its lesson We
must not forget the biblical story Of the fat kline and
the seven lean kline The time is coming though not
visible, when the lean years will be upon
lie is a wise man who in prosperity up against
adversely.
Nature is profuse, open-handed and lavish But it is
standing.
While nature is plentiful and bountul and generous
with hand she is careful and prudent and economical
with the other.
Nature at times bahes the world in unstined showers
of rain and floods of sunlight. But
No single ray is wasted
Every drop of the generous rain is gathered up again
into the clouds.
Even the dead plants and the leaves of the trees
utilized for the benefit of next years fruits and flowers
If we truly understand natures open handedness
may safely initiate.
Open handedness is suicide unless balanced by thrift
few dollars in savings bank or in safe invest
ment in home is good seed
Out of it grow quckened energies, firmer courage
stawar thought and hope orderly citizenship
education for the children and the independence and self
respect that lift aimess hopeless drudges up the
manhood and true womanlood.

GREEDY SULTAN
A CRATER

JOLO, P. l., Jan. 31.-How would
you like to risk your life diving for
pearls and then have to sell them
to some shrewd trader for one-quar-
ter their value rather than have to
give them up to sultan for about
One-sixteenth?
This is what the natives of Jolo
have to do in order to make a liv-
ing. The sultan is really CRATER,
and the pearl divers are his vic
Tins.
If a diver becomes rich suddenly
the sultan sends his agents to in
vestigate, and the diver, without a
trial, has to pay 1000 pesos unless
he can bride the agent to a small
er fine.
If his friends swear that he did
not sell any pearls then he will
have to pay the court fees, which
are 20 per cent of the fine
The United States has just made
special law making it impossible
for the sultan to collect fines, but
whenever a rare pearl is found
there are always shrewd traders
about to snatch it from the natives,
who are ignorant of the value of
money.
Pearl diving is extremely haz-
ardous. The diver goes down with
only a handkerchief and a piece of
rope around his waist; he never
goes down quite naked, this being
against the custom of his people.
Before a diver goes down he al
ways says his prayers and COM
mends IS soul to God.

The cedar bird is the equisite of
the whole tribe of birds, and it is
hard to believe that he is not a self
conscious equisite. Seemingly he
is much of poser, but perhaps
after all it is only nature and he
maymay be as modest at heart as
any sparrow in homespun.
This Beau Brummel of birds is
garbed in fawn color, black and yell
low, with just touch of red bril-
liancy on his wings. His plumage
fits like glove on the plump hand
of a girl, and let the storm howl as
it will he can turn his back to it
and never ruffle feather. No other
bird holds his secret of bandbox
perfection of dressed.
In the spring the cedar bird
amuses himself by darling out from
his perch and catching unerringly
the wind-lossened petals of the ap-
pie blossom. In winter, in the alb
sence of apple blossoms, he makes
prey of the falling snow flakes,
pretending all the while that the
May time has come again. To lift
himself further above the common
flock the cedar bird refuses to nest
until all the other members of the
feathered creation have ended their
seasons housekeeping.
If some amateur bird student
with a keen mind will discover the
reason for a certain characteristic
of the marsh wren he will find him
self lifted at once into the front
rank of the scientists, and he will
be given the authority to put the
initials of all the pathological So
cieties in creation after his name
Scientists themselves have practi-
cally given over all attempts to dis
cover the secret
The puzzle is this: The marsh
wren and his mate seek out in early
May place in the swamp land to
their liking and then they build four
or five perfect nests, but they oc-
cupy only one of them. The others
are tenantless throughout the sea-
son. The fact is kno>n beyond
peradventure; the reason for the
fact is one of the marsh wren's
secrets. Who can read it?

day when Germany. which is nearly self
supporting as regards her food supply,
raised a blank negative to the proposal of
England. which is largely dependent upon
sea-borne produce, that contraband be
abolished.
Germany's opposition reduces the Brit
fish proposition 10 a biased opinion, from
the mere fact that 1t prevents unanimity.
It moreover draws a sharp line OF de-
msrcation between the nationalities.
which, without necessarily being beIlig-

Except that Germany has taken the risk
Of bringing England and America to

the question Of private property at sea, in
favor Of any measure which will limit the
area Of destruction in war.
