Getting the First Thousand Dollars and
What 1t Teaches.
"Get the first 81 900. After that mon
ey making is easy" This is the old
time sage advice of the hard headed,
self made man. That axiom has set
many men to saving. They fix upon
that sum as the glittering, faroff her
aid of a fortune some time to be made.
To man on Il small salary-a salary,
say, out of which something can be
saved weekly without too much deprl-
vation-the advice is good. There is
something in it that acts as stimulus
to economy. And who will deny that
economy is good thing or that any
truth that lights the way to it should
not be known?

A Fatal Mistake.

\ great many people seem to think that
the marriage ceremony absolves them
from all further courtesies and attentions
to the person whom they have wed.
After that they are always in neglige
both as to manners and clothes. when
they are at home.
This is fatal mistake. Because
woman is married is no excuse for her
going untidy about the house, and telling
he rhusband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because Il woman is his wife
gives a man no right to say things to her
he would not dare to say to any other
lady who possessed a big, able-bodied
brother.
Good manners are the preservetiye of
peace and concord, and are warranted TO
keep happiness i'll any climate
The problem of how to happy though
married is really no problem At all No
mystery should ever have been made of

Discretion Needed.

While it may beyond human DOW
or to avoid making enemies in this life.
nobody will attempt to deny that a vast
amount of carelessness is exhibited in
the treatment of those who are Likely
TO be vindictive when occasion arises
1t is the worst blunder Il woman can
make, for reputation is one of her most
valuable assets and most perishable also
Men can walk through double lines of
unfriendly faces and suffer little from
the experience Possibly an enemy's in
huence may affect his business. though
that does not happen often. Certainly
it does his character little or no injury
and does not affect his social standing
But . woman can be humbed in the
dust by a malicious tongue and malice
is a common weapon. When you find
a woman with a guarded tongue, you
see one with few enemies, probably none
save those who are actuated by envy or
iealOusly and those are not of the really
dangerous type.
1t requires some degree of clevernesS
to steer clear of such pitfalls as malice
The average woman is gifted with in
telligence enough to look carefully to
her own interests in many directions
and it would he largely to her advantage
to give the department Of discretion some
extra attention. Speech and written
thoughts are both too freely INDUCED in
for safety.
No person is so humble but what their
kindly feeling is of more value than their
malice
