A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

"No, I'm not whistling and sing
ing because business is good" re-
piled the hardware drummer. "What
ails me is because I have clear con-
science for the first time in three
years.
"Have you confessed to murder :"

Gentlemen, don't try to be funny.
This is a sacred thing. I was in
Boston three years ago, and picked
up package on the street. On open

out of town by the first train. My

TALK ON MARRIAGE.

You may say what you like about
the Time the Place and the Girl,
but, after all, the time and the place
have a lot more to do with the making
of matches than the girl" said the
spinster with fondness for statistics.
1--WE been getting up some data on
the subject and / find that In nine
cases out of ten the circumstances
the mood a man is in, the clothes a
girl happens to be wearing when they
meet-have more to do with matrimo-
ny than the little blind god himself.
And as to marriages being made in
heaven" the spinster shrugged
away that suggestion with contempt.
Every wedding leaves some wo-
man wondering what he saw in her.
l myself have made the remark apro-
pos of half dozen married women
know, and in several cases when /
knew the people pretty we'll, I've in
quired of the husband where and un-
der what circumstances he fell in
love-"
"And what have you learned? 7" she
was asked.
81 learned that two of the things
that most appeal to men are helpless
ness and certain dainty femininity
of attire that some women affect
which puts the tailormade girl out Of
business every time.
lone man told me that he was first
smitten by loves dart while crossing
the street behind a lady, who, on lift
ing her skirts from the dust displayed
lingerie of the dainty, fluffy order that
stamps girl, to the masculine mind,
as sweet, feminine creature He
followed up the girl-and the oppor-
tunity. The result was matrimony
and a charming fat. Then he awoke
to the fact that the femininity was a
mere matter of laundry bills; and the
lady was in reality one of the sort
that insisted on having her own way
and his too; she was, in fact, bully
of the worst type.
Another man / interviewed met
his fate on a railroad train. She was
in the act of struggling with refrac-
tory car window. Her little hands,
he said, looked so pretty and help
less, and, too, when he took the stub
born sash in hand and forced it open,
his own Drawn and muscle showed up
so we'll by contrast. Then when she
looked up at him and murmured ad-
miringly, oh, it's lovely to be so
strong / his doom was sealed.
"What though she were freckled,
snub-nosed and red-haired? She was
a clinging vine, he sturdy oak.
Well, he married her, of course, and
he greatly fancied his role for year
or two; but in course of time her
clinging become monotonous. He
has grown tired of it, and, between
you and me, I think he has some
times been tempted to bring damages
against that railroad company for not
having its windows in working order.

ed on the subject you ask? This:
That after few years the result in
most cases is the same Disillusion-
ment, disappointment and dissatisfac-

MONEY TALKS.

should have, the ambition to make
and save money, not in the spirit of
greed that prompts the miser to hoard
his gold, but In the sense of thrift
that stores up dollars against require
ments of the future. 1t is every SEN
sible persons wish TO reach time in
life when they can point to snug
competence and feel that it is their
own to use and spend as they may
see fit.
This gratifying state of affairs can
only be reached by rigid self-denial
until start is made, and by careful
management and prudent investment
afterward. Earning power gives the
opportunity to save, and saving ju-
diciously and persistently produces
the results desired. Begin early to
save even little. increase the amounts
laid by as better earnings warrant,
and the habit so started becomes a
fixed purpose, bringing at last con-
dition that proves the wisdom of sys-
tematic saving.
The expression, money Talks, :"
is an apt one, and its conversation is
particularly pleasant to the person
with a reasonably well filled purse or
snug bank account, as the time ar
rives when necessity or opportunity
for safe investment calls for its use.
1t is decidedly embarrassing, not to
say distressing, to be without money
or proof of its possession when obi
cations are to be met, comforts of
every day life are needed, or "rainy
day" comes. Then Is brought forci-
bly, home the error of improvidence
and the manifold benefits of careful
saving.
With every bank having a saving
department and numerous building
and loan associations, the problem of
profitable saving is solved in the east
est manner. Managed by officers of
integrity, and with the best possible
system of investing, thrift and econo-
my is encouraged by degree of Sc
curity not afforded by other means of
saving.
In addition the feature of the accu-
mutation of interest on savings de-
posted commends itself 20 the depos-
itor and insures a steady increase of
the amount laid by. Our own COM
munity is reaping the benefits of
a splendid building and loan associa
ton that has been the means of pro-
viding cosy homes for many industri-
Gus stockholders, or has furnished
capital to start successful business.
These results would probably not
have been possible under other circum-
stances.
The habit of spending without saw
ing once acquired rarely has but one
end, that of hand to-mouth existence
and constant struggle to make both
ends meet. It fosters extravaganza,
poor management and lack of thrift,
and no matter how prosperous or how
hard the times, the income is spent to
the limit. On the other hand, the
saving habit, without any tending to-
ward miserliness, grows into prosper.
ity, comfortable living, sure source
satisfaction and safe. guard against
inevitable future need.
When the amount of savings reaches
point where it is drawing interest
your money begins to talk, and to talk
insistently for the good work to be
continued. Then is the time to lis
ten to its voice and profit by its ad-
monition.

DAMASCUS.

Damascus is the Oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crum-
bled on the shore Baalbee is ruin
Palmyra lies buried in the sands of
the desert Ninevah aDd Babylon
have disappeared from the shores of
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Da-
mascus remains what it was before the
days of Abraham centre of trade
and travel, an island of verdure in a
desert. a "predestined capital" with
martial and sacred associations ex-
tending beyond thirty centuries.
1t was near Damascus that Saul of
Tarsus saw the light from heaven
above the brightness of the sun the
street, which is called Straight, in
which it is said he "prayeth, still
runs through the city; the caraven
comes and goes as it did one thousand
years ago; there is still the sheik, the
ass and the water wheel the mer-
chants of the Euphrates and the Med
iterranean still occupy with the null
titude of their wives" The city
which Mahomet surveyed from a
neighboring height, and was afraid
to enter, because it is given to man
to have but one Paradise, and, for his
part, he was resolved not to have it
in this world" is this day, what Juli-
an called it, the Eye of the East, "
as it was in the time of Isaiah, "the
head of Syria"
From Damascus came our damson,
our blue plums and the delicious apri-
cot of Portugal called damasco dam
ask, beautiful fabric of cotton and
silk with vines and flowers raised
upon its smooth, bright ground the
damask rose, introduced into England
in the time of Henry VII; the dam
ask blade, so famous the world over
for its keen edge and remarkable elas-
ticity, the secret of the manufacture
of which was lost when Tamerlane
carried off the artists into Persia and
that beautiful art of inlaying wood
and steel with silver and gold-a kind
of mosaic engraving and sculpture
united, called damaskeening, with
which boxes and bureaus, swords and
gums are ornamented.
1t is still city of flowers and bright
waters the streams of Lebanon, the
"river of Damascus" "the river of
goId," still murmurs and sparkles in
the wilderness of Syrian Gardens.
A YOUNG woman overheard an old
negress call to a pickaninny, "Come
back, Exy, ExyP
Excuse me, said the young wo-
man, but isn't that a queer name
for baby, aunty?"
"Dat amt her full name," explain
ed the old woman, with pride "dat's
ies' de pet name call fer short. Dat
chile got mighty grand name. Her
ma picked it out in medicine book.
