MR.. oRATEsAa TO PHILIP.
Courage with Most Men Largely a
Matter of Money or Health.

Some men, Philip" said Mr.. Crate
bar, ARE naturally timid, and some
are constitutionally courageous, but
you can set it down for a fact that
with most men courage is largely a
matter of money or of health.
Il commend to you, Philip, the ac-
quisition of means sufficient to make
you independent of the ordinary vicis.
situdes of life. Put by enough to live
on, an amount that need not be very
great. But save an amount sufficient
to yield you such an income; scrimp
for it, if necessary. 1t will be rock
Of refuge to you in every way, and
constant backing of added strength
in prosperity. Save money, Philip, IL
you would be free.
But if you can't do this in min.
ute here is something that you can
do now; you can begin putting in
what is, after ALL with most of us
the bedrock foundation of courage.
and SO of success, namely, good
health.
To get down to details, thousands of
men have lost chances that might
have led them on to great results by
so simple thing as cutting off their
hours of sleep and turning up for
work Slow and dopy. There is no one
thing that so smothers and stunts
courage as to lose sleep. l say moth
ing of courage killing dissipation, for
TO that, l know you would not de-
scend.
The young man caring for himself
develops health and strength and vigor
and courage. He's fit. He wants to
grapple with things; he wants respon-
sibility.
He doesn't shy at anything. Hard
tasks are easy to him, and the harder
they are the better he likes them.
Work is joy to him. He can do
things, and he isn't afraid; he's a man
of courage, and that's the sort of man
the world is looking for.
These things may seem homely to
say to you, but they are true. You
want the money, that moderate inde
pendence that shall make you Free
and you must get it; but not at the
cost of your health. With broken
health, however much money you may
have, you'll be timid, irresolute and
of no account
THE one all important thing for
you to look to now is your health
Build up stout body, Philip, and

of stout heart the world is easy."-N.

women,s Pet Economies.

You never really know a woman,
some one has said, until you discover
her pet economies.
One very wealthy woman whose hus.
band is Judge saves her pennies by
saving bottles. Whenever there is
need to have prescription put up she
sends an empty bottle from the house
instead of paying five or ten cents for
a new one. The woman often heads
a subscription list with 81 1000 check.
but she won't buy bottles.
Economy in the kitchen is frequent
ly the cause of trouble. One woman
simply can't keep a chef because she
insists that every particle of butter
left over from the table shall be used
for cooking.
Another has no end of trouble witt
her servants because she insists upon
their using candles. Saving paper.
twine and wooden bundle carriers
from the shops is common economy.
An actress who has plenty of money
saves all her old shoes and slippers.
She has trunks full of them in all
stages of dilapidation but refuses to
part with one of them.

shore, the lily fields look from a dis
tance like white summer clouds
dropped down from the sky upon the
green islands. Lily fragrance fills the
air and is blown by the wind far out
over the water. Coming nearer you
see the fields more clearly-rows up
on rows of blossoms, tall, stately and
snowy white. 1t is very beautiful.
1t was not until the early SOS that
the Bermuda lily became well known
in the United States. 1t is said that
Philadelphia woman, returning from
the islands, brought home plant to
bloom. This came to the attention of
w. X. Harris, an enterprising florist
of the Quaker city, who purchased
iOe Vi lhC DuiDo, llOhl WHICn SuC-
ceeded in raising hundreds of plants,
introducing them under the name
Lilium Harrisii. Thus the Easter lily
industry spread to America, and to
other countries as well. But nowhere
do the flowers grow so perfect and
beautiful as under the quickening
warmth of the tropical sun of Ber.
muda.
Ordinarily only bulbs are exported,
but at the rush season whole boat
loads of cut buds and of thickly-bud.
ded plants are packed and shipped
away, carrying the sweet message
of the Eastertide into countless homes
and churches.
General Hastings is dead. In spite
of his long residence in Bermuda, he
remained devotedly loyal American
citizen and from time to time concern

various positions of responsibility and
honor. The islanders remember him

There is only one monument in the
whole British colony of the Bermudas
and it is erected to the memory of
an American. This fact may seem
bit strange until one has heard the
story, which is really story of the
Bermuda lily, and of the man who
made it possible.
Many years ago-during President
Hayes administration, in fact-Gen.
Russell Hastings, who had made for
himself brilliant record during the
civil war, was married in the White
House at Washington. He and his
bride went to Bermuda on their we'd
ding trip, and were so charmed with
the beauty of the place that they re-
solved then and there to return, and,
If possible, to make it their perma-
nent abode. The climate, too, appeal
ed to them. (The general had been
seriously wounded in the war, and
was far from well)
A little later the two came again.
Not as tourists this time, but as home
seekers. In those days the now-exist-
ing law that none but English citizens
~sAi O"h Athhu III iShoiioh SOlODltS Was
not in force. So General Hastings had
no difficulty in acquiring large es-
tate. He chose picturesque site in the
little city of Hamilton, surrounding
1and-locked bay. Here he built his
homo, "Sonci," which stands to-day
among tropical trees and luxuriant
flowers.
Not only did General Hastings at
once become deeply interested in the
place, and in the possibilities for its
development, but he was genuinely
distressed at the poverty of the island
ers, says writer in the Detroit Free
Press. Setting about to improve mat
ters, he studied the climatic condi-
tions, experiraented again and again,
and at length his efforts were crowned
with success. 1t was found that our
present-day Easter lily, originally a
native of Japan, would attain in Ber-
muda to a perfection of loveliness
hitherto unknown. The islanders we're
soon pressed into service, and since
about 1876 the culture of lilies has
been not only their chief pride, but
their chief means of livelihood as well.

out in the Atlantic-the largest of

Clever Retort.

Senator Tillman was discussing a
recent quarrel among financiers.
"Those men threw good deal Of
mud at each other" he said, smiling,
"and most of the mud stuck. 1t was
an interesting squabble. 1t reminded
me of an incident in a southern Jail.
There were two prisoners in this jail.
One was in for stealing a cow The
other was in for stealing watch.
Exercising in the courtyard one morn
ing, the first prisoner said tauntingly
to the other, What time is it,? Milk
ing time was the retort.

Earth's blacklist day and whitest day,
Were just one day apart.

johnson and the Burns woman had
| concocted a story of the killing and
that the woman was to take the blame
as it would seem impossible to convict
her of a killing under the circum-
stances.
On the other hand he would have
almost as good a claim for self de-
tense as the woman even though IL
was he who fired the shot when Dun
ford was in his room attempting to as
sault the woman with whom he lives
as man and wife. Mae Burns is not
a woman about town and though there
has been complaint to the police at
one time by her neighbors she has
never been arrested
Harry Gruber, who says that he saw
Mae Burns fire the shot which killed
Dunford, is town character and has
been in trouble most of his life and
has spent much of it in the jails Of
either the city or county. The police
have been looking for him since the

Dunford was a hard worker and con-
sidered one of the best pavement lay
ers in the west. He won a $500 prize

years ago for pavement brick laying,

AS the matter now stands it is rath-
er remarka BILE. Three persons are in
Jail as d result of the killing. Mae
Burns. who insists that she did the
killing and shot in self defense; Harry
Johnson who the sheriff and county
attorney are sure fired the shots which
resulted in Dunford's death, and Harry
Gruber, an eye witness who swears
positively that the shots were fired by
Johnson and not the woman. Gruber
has a bruised lip and a cut on the
chin which he says were made by
Johnson after he fired the first shot
He says that he was knocked on the
bed by the blows and that before he
recovered himself that two more shots
were fired and that it was one of these
which struck Dunford.
There is some doubt as to the mes
sage which DUnford is supposed to
have telephoned to the police station
as it is held that he was unable to
speak intelligibly after he was shot for
the reason that the bullet cut his
tongue. The coroner's inquest has
been postponed until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning in the hope that
there may have been other eye wit
nesses to the tragedy who can be To-
Gated.
