out.
Jesse NJ Smyth and wife had an old

S. P. Caudelps school has just closed.
His face is all smiles; can't tell whether 1t
was because his wife had fine turkey
for his Christmas dinner or the conscious

At big turkey match short time

You ought to have seen him strut!

1T PAYS TO HAVE A BEARD.
Man Tells How Much He Has Saved
BY Letting Whlskers Grow.

From the Boston Post.
I've got nothing against the bar
bers," said bearded man, "but let me
tell you how much money I've made
for myself by letting my beard grow.
When was shaving used to have
to get shaved every day, which cost me
quarter; Is cents for the work and 10
cents for the barber, $1.75 week, SOL
year. And then every two weeks |
got my hair cut, which cost me in the
course Of the yeaer 1910 more, because
every time | got combination hair
cut | paid out 60 cents; the price of
the work was 40 cents, but | gave the
barber 20 cents. Twenty cents may
seem an extravagant tip, but it was a
double job, and as | figured it, if the
barber ought to get any tip at all, he
ought to get for double job a double
tip.
so my barber bill amounted to
$100.10 year.
Then l thought I'd let 'em sprout
and l did; and l haven't had 'em
shaved off since. Every two weeks |
drop in at the BARRIERS and get 'em
trimmed and my hair cut at the same
time, a double job, again-counting the
beard trimming the same as a shave
for which l pay 40 cents for the shop
and 20 cents for the barber, 60 cents,
or making now total of $3.50 for a
year, instead of $100.10 | had paid in
when l got shaved daily, hair cut BIZ
weekly.
When first started the whiskers |
got me nice strong soap box and cut
little slot in the top of 1t; and every
morning since l have dropped into the
box the quarter that l had formerly
paid daily for my shave. except that
every two weeks when l got my hair
cut and my beard trimmed I omitted
the quarter for two successive days
and put In only Is cents on the third,
keeping out this 60 cents for the pres
ent job of hair cut and beard trim;
that is, equivalent to the former hair
cut AMI shave.
TT is ten years now since I began
the Vandyke, and on the last rainy
Sunday, which happened to be the
tenth anniversary of the starting of
the same, got out the soap box, broke
it open, and counted the contents
thereof, finding them to amount to
the not altogether negligible sum of
sS45 which had saved in ten years
by letting my beard grow instead of
shaving.
81 did think I'd buy house and lot
with this money, but don't know now
but what I'll buy instead nice second
hand automobile and get out on the
road and let the wind blow through
the whiskers that bought It,"

TIME AND TIDE
WALL EOR NO MAN.

Truly this adage is verified today. Moth
ing stops; the happenings of yesterday af-
fects not the morrow; the world goes on
and on in its usual way We are but
atoms in the makeup of time, we are
tossed here and there by the fortunes or
misfortunes, as our case may be. We must
gather our crumbs and enter the tide,
let its pillows and waves toss us as they
may. The shore is not far distant, and
if we land in the realm of others we
have simply held our own. This gives
new interest, to feel that we keep apace
with the affairs of life and look back
ward without regret at the effort. Mis-
takes are the inheritance of nature. they
enter the lives of all, but when they come
S a consequence, not the result of not
making the right effort. they are simply
passing obstacles, and can only be over
come by cheerfulness-content to know
you have done your best, even though
when the race is over you do not lead.

DO NOT WANT STRIKE.
Social Democrats Think the Govern
ment Would Win.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 20.-The social
democratic conference, which has just
ended in Finland adopted resolution
against the proclamation of general
strike, on the ground that an attempt to
walk out now would only play into the
hands of the government.
Many of the social democratic deputies
have returned to st. Petersburg, but sew
eral others, including A. G. Feodoroff of
Ryazan and NJ NJ. Fomicheff of Tauride,
have been arrested and incarcerated in the
Fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul. The
fortress is crowded with high political pris-
oners even the soldiers barracks being
given over to the prisoners uses, tents be-
ing erected for the garrison.
Judging from the precedent of the sign
ers of the Viborg manifesto, whose trials
are announced to begin early next month,
the recently arrested social democratic
deputies are facing long period of pre-
limnary imprisonment. This, 1t is feared,
will seriously affect the health of l. G..
TZereteIi of Kutais and A. d. DzhaparidZe
of kharkoff. who are consumptives.
