After a few moments more of "dicker-
Ing for another dollar or two the horse
trader agreed to accompany Pat to his
home where the deal would be completed.
They led the old horse along, he, poor
fellow, hardly able to walk, SO stift he
was in his crippled legs.
Pats mother was told about the mat
ter, Pat, with a dimness in his usual
merry blue eyes, saying: II want this
old horse for a birthday prlsent because
he has only a few years-or maybe
months-to live. An l want him to pass
the time restin', l do. It's awful to be
old an sick an poor-especially If you
are a horse. Don't you think SO,
mither?
But "Mither" said never word. She
went into the house, wiping tear from
her eye as she did so, and got from her
purse the three dollars Then she opened
Pats bank, took out the five dollars
all In nickles and dimes-and with this
fund went again to the yard where the
wary old trader stood holding the horses
bride rein. Within a few minutes the
money and horse were exchanged, Pats
mother handing the bride rein to him,
saying: ITS strange birthday present,
sonny, butts your choice. You have
a heart of gold, me darlin' boy"
The trader, with a chuckle, pocketed
the money and hurried away, muttering

Lalla one half the spring seat-beside the

sat on the edge of Sunshine's cage, talk

whose life blood he had meant to spill
Just a few minutes before. And 80 they
drove into DOWNRIGHT up to the meat

But had the trader seen the old ''hoss''

younger than when Pat bought him. And
one day Pats father bought a little
secondhand buggy to hitch the old
''hoss" to 30 that Pat and the "mlther'
could ride In the cool Of the evening.
And If ever a horse was proud 1t was
that old birthday gift. He had never
been buggy horse, and the exalted po-
sition conferred upon him made him SO
frisky at times that Pat had some trouble
In holding him down to the speed al

evening as they rode along a country
lane behind the happy old horse. mo,

After talking over the anticipated event

Pat brushed back his stubborn red hair,

When a boy or girl reaches the age to
go to college how seldom has he or she
the necessary means to do so. Yet, If boys
and girls would save a part of their
spending money-their pocket pennies"
during all the years they are going
through public school they would find
that on leaving high school the path
would shine clear to the college door, for
in the bank, to their own credit, would
be neat sum almost sufficient to pay
for books and tuition, and, perhaps, go a
long way on the weekly board.
But some children will say: "Oh,
never spend a cent that isn't quite neces-
sary to be spent. Besides, papa and
mamma allow me a small sum weekly to
do as please with. Other children spend
freely their pocket money. why should
not I?' etc.
Now, the children, bless them are not
really to blame. The fault lies with their
too indulgent parents-more particularly
the mothers and the children, still of the
thOughtless age, do anything that adds to
their pleasure without questioning the
wisdom Of 1t.
But as the majority Of the families are
In very moderate circumstances and the
father has his hands FULL with meeting
the daily needs 1t behooves the mothers
to inculcate ideas of economy in the
minds of their little ones instead of hu-
moring them In needless, small extrava-
gances so commonly noticed as a fault
belonging to American children.
1t is a fact that nearly all school chill
dren in large towns and cities-children
from homes where the fathers can scarce
ly keep their heads above water, so to
speak-spend regularly from 10 to 20
cents day on trash such as candy, Ice
cream soda and indigestlble noon lunch
cons which they would be much better of
without. And 1t Is this constant, useless
expenditure that robs the boys and girls
Of the educational advantages they will
long for later on; for In the homes of
people in moderate circumstances the
boys. and often the girls, too. are forced
to seek employment as soon as they have
finished high school, and sometimes be-
fore, for they have wasted on trihes-yes
WASTED-money enough to have taken
the son of the house through college and
given the daughter a musical or art edu-
cation.
But perhaps the children will say: 1--WE
cannot stint ourselves on little things
We must keep up appearances and spend
the same amount Of money our neigh
bors' sons and daughters spend. Other
wise We'll be ridiculed and called In

haDltantS or Poverty Fiat.
Now, pride is a splendid thing to have
pride of character, ability, accomplish
ment and economy; but when 1t takes on
the form of vain show and vulgar pre-
tense, it should be frowned upon by the
public.
The sensible boy or girl who has, say
a dollar a week for spending money, will
lay away just half of it-put it In
savings bank where it will draw interest.
Suppose a boy begins putting away 90
cents week when he is 10 years old,
to be used ms college money" when he
is through high school: and suppose he Is
ready for college when 1S years old. For
eight years then he has saved S26 a year,
and you will readily count up what eight
times that amount would be, drawing in
terest all the time A neat sum, isn't
itI And how much better to have it all
In a nice big lump than to have
thrown it away on ice-cream sodas, gum,
candy, indigestible CONNECTIONS and what
not, for now it meets a very urgent need
the need of a finished education.
I feel that there is much more to be
said on this subject-hints to be given to
the parents as well as to the children
regarding the saving of those insignia
cant pennies. nickles and Dimes" but
space forblds. However, l am quite sure
this idea of saving whenever you can, In
stead of spending whenever you can (for
1t Is the tendency of money to slip from
ones fngers), will take root In your
minds, and every boy or girl who reads
this will begin laying aside a pare of his
or her little allowance each week, and
at the end of a year-two years or FIVE
years-they will be fully rewarded for
any little sacrifices they may have made
in the way of selfdenial.
The writer knows one girl (only 10 years
old now who last year took a nice trip
to California and old Mexico. When
asked how she could afford it-for her
family was in moderate circumstances
she replied: my pin money for FIVE
years did 1t. Instead of squandering it
on cheap jewelry, fads and fancies, bon
hons and matinees. as my girl friends
spent their money, l put 1t carefully
away, promising myself a nice trip about
the Continent. And can assure you
have not regretted the experiment"
And thousands of boys and girls can
accomplish the same If they determine to
do SO.

Eeckled of face, and blue Of eyes. to say

than his hair, freckles or eyes. And
Pats heart was the biggest part Of his
body, for In 1t he held love for all OF

very moderate circumstances Pat found
the means to do many little scts Of

Pats mother began making preparations
to celebrate the occasion by giving her
little son a party.

The wit of woman has been praised, but
her instincts are quicker and keener
than her reason. Counsel with your

Women are too commonly adjudged as
verdant in all but purely womanish af

sex thus judge them. Their intuitions,

meeting confidence with confidence?
We are certain that no man succeeds so
