1t is idle to criticise at large the
American business mans habit of
overwork. But single aspect of this
ruinous habit merits comment. The
American business man does not want
money itself. He wants to get there"
to get there" for his own, his wifes
sake, his family's sake. The full price
of getting there" he does not always
calculate.
The man who works fast, many
hours a day, six or seven days a week.
is not merely paying in sheer energy
to get there" He eats too much,
possibly drinks too much, does not
take exercise, but he pays in more
than physical detriment. He is doing
more than ill-treating his body in such
a way as he would never dream of i'll
treating his automobile or his factory
dynamo. Above everything else, the
American business man is getting
there" at the expense of rounded de
velopment, at the expense of life itself
and of its large and rich experiences.

TOLD AFTER DINNER
ALL KINDS OF NoNsENslcAL
ANECDOTES GO THEN.
"Jones of Beham" a Good Example
of What Can Be Done in That
Respect-New Version of
the Fatted Calf.

People like nonsense after dinner.
They like anecdotes. The best of anec-
dotes is that they need have nothing
to do with the subject. 1 know a man
who keeps about half a dozen anec-
dotes always in stock. He can make
one or the other of them fit any par
ticular toast. l heard him propose
THE Army and Navy" He said that
some people took a gloomy view Of
our national defenses. For himself, he
was an optimist 1t was always best
to look at the bright side of every
thing.
That reminds me-" he said, of
my friend Jones-Jones of Belham-
His motto is that there is always some
thing to be thankful for. His wife is
not of such cheerful disposition. She
is often annoyed at Jones optimism
"One day they were dining at res
taurant, and they had placed before.
them a very tough piece of veal. 1t
was an exceptionally tough piece Of
veal.
There, said Mrs. Jones, now
think it would puzzle even you to find
piece of veal
mot a bit of it, said Jones, I was
Just at that very moment thinking
how fortunate it was that we hap
pened to meet it when it was young"
Some time afterward 1 was at an
other dinner 1t was the dinner Of a
scientific society. This same man was
present again, and he was put up to
propose the toast of Success to Aerial
Navigation"
This is a tremendous question to-
deal with" he said, but we must
make the best of things, and l hope
you will bear with me while 1 try to
make the best of it. 1t is such tough
subject that it reminds me of the piece
of veal which was once placed before
my friend Jones-Jones of Belham."
And out came the story of Jones of
Belham again; and it was quite hit
So much so that he followed it up
with another.

encouraging cheers and said Go on"

"'This calf, my friends said the
preacher, was no ordinary calf. This
calf, forsooth, was a fatted calf. And
mark you, it was no ordinary fatted
calf. This calf, my friends, had been
fatted up for years, and years, and
years."
Here is another dinner story: Two
men, who had been dining so well that
they could see twice as much as two
ordinary men, were rather imprudent-
ly walking home by the canal bank
Very soon one of them fell into the
water. This sobered him to some eX-
tent, and he began to yell out at the
top of his voice:
Hi hi! Help, help 1 can't swimI
Help can't SWIM"
The other man, who had gone down
on his knees on the bank and was
trying to steady himself by holding
tightly to tuft of grass, surveyed his

the Aldrich bill was the best financial
measure that could nave been brought
out at this time. 1t was as well adapt
ed TO the situation, he believed, as any
thing that could have been devised. He
said that the question of bank reserves
was not understood by Senators.
He then made an argument for
bimetallic currency. The fixing of the
relative value of basic standard money.
he declared, was as old as the human
family. The ratio between silver and
gold had beer fixed by the law before
the birth of Christ.
For a time it looked as though the
Senate would enjoy an old-fashioned IS

that he is well qualified from the
standpoint of ability, experience and
legal training to make first-cla pros

Many people have occasion to call
upon the Prosecuting Attorney for adj
vice and with their troubles. Mr.. Brown
is naturally genial, affable and approach
able, and all persons having occasion
to call upon him on official business or
otherwise will be pleased with their re-
ception and treatment at his hands.
He has always taken an active inter
est in politics, and has done great
deal of work for others and for his
party, but has never held any office If
nominated and elected to this Office he
will enter upon his duties with only
one object in view, and that is to make
a record in that office that will be a
credit to himself and approved by the
people.
Mr.. Brown enters upon his canvass
relying upon his merits and qualifica-
tions, and if nominated and elected
will be obligated only to the people of
this county, and will fearlessly and
with impartiality peform the duties of
this office.
