MAKING AND KEEPING
MONEY.

The ability to make money is very
common among men, but the pecu-
liar faculty of retaining it is much
more seldom seen. There is little
suffering from inability to earn a
living, but the same cannot be said
OF those who have never learned to
save In time of plenty.
The life insurance policies so popu-
lar at present are an acknowledge
lnent of the fact that the average
man cannot trust himself with
money not especially needed at
once, so to overcome this tendency
the frequent and small investment
plan has been introduced, to the
benefit of many who would other
wise lspend this amount in trivial
ways.
The installment plan for paying
for household necessities, and luXur-
les too. is another example of the
same thing, only Of more question
able benefit to the public.
The many catch-penny devices in
public places live on the same weak
ness of human nature.
The man who spends his wealth
for things outside of his natural and
real needs, and which do not bring
value received to him in some of the
elevating phases of life, is as much
of hindrance to society as the
miser. His trade, no matter how
limited, will have a tendency to
stimulate business upon an unnat-
ural and unwarranted basis.
What are the so-called hard times
which occasionally come upon us
but the result of this very thing
Daring times of prosperity and
plenty we invariably buy more free
ly of those things we could and do
comfortably live without when times
are close. Thus our real and honest
needs have been misrepresented to
the business and manufacturing
world only to rebound with in
creased force to the producer.
Some authority once said that
1.-THE world as a world scarcely
makes living"
In all the worlds history there is
no record of any government failing
on account Of insufficient funds with
which to carry on its affairs, but its
abundance has brought destruction
to many. 1t requires no uncommon
ability to simply make and hoard
money, if one will make this his
whole and only ambition in life, but
it is the exception to find an individ-
ual who is equally talented along
the line of properly spending it.
Wealth is seldom inherited in any
great abundance by more than two
generations of the same family
The honest labor and anticipation in
connection with the earning OF
wealth has brought far more happi-
ness into the world than its posses
sion has ever done.

Messrs. Russell and Vickers, of the
Palatka News, have sprung into
special prominence through the in
stitution against them of plain,
every day libel suit for $4,000. A
Palatka Jewish merchant has a
grievance against them arising out
of certain statements published in
connection with the O'Hara peonage
case. Some editors truly have
greatness thrust upon them. 1t is
to be hoped the senior member OF
the firm will have sufficient funds
left to take him to the State Legisla-
ture where great things are expected
of him by his brethren of the State

chin, shows a lack of will power and
of firm and quick intelligence The
forehead that has projecting bumps"
over the eyes indicates observation. A
high, prominent, bullying brow does
not contribute to the beauty of the

mindedness and the keen intellect of
the scholar. 1t is the forehead that
looks straight, but which in reality
slopes back very little, with the eye

schpapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only one gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P--P-S
and then you have it the most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less swcetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in SC. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and I5c. plugs.

The county treasurers of Florida
might do well to call a convention
and organize their forces for battle
in the holy cause of self-preserva-
ton. The conspiracy against them
is spreading and the cOnspirators
are talking out loud 1t is urged
that the treasurers are not worth
what they cost the taxpayers as
they have nothing much to do but
draw checks against the money col
lected by another official. The
money is always put in some bank,
which does pretty much all the
bookkeeping necessary to keep
track of the funds, and it is insisted
that the Office should be merged in
that of the collector, thus saving to
the county the compensation paid
the former. However, the treas
ures are in no immediate danger,
and very possibly no danger in the
future, for it will take constitu-
tional amendment to effect the
change and the people of Florida,
encouraged thereto by the Austria
liam ballot, have u strong aversion
to any tinkering with the organic
law. Some of them might vote to
abolish the office of taX-collector,
but they will have to be shown very
clearly where the advantage comes
in for them before they will consent
to rip out of he constitution such
an ancient and respected plank as
the treasurer's Objective Oak
Democrat.

"This lizard, because it is long and
slim and legless, looks like a snake
It's tail is very delicate. The verte
brae are so fragile that the slightest
shock causes it's tail to break off
to break at the same time, maybe, int
three or four pieces. People seeing
a lizard go through this operation

The tail pieces, of course, can't be
taken on again. but the lizard is JUS

back to its original length. Thi:
lizard is to be found in the South ant
