A PRUDENT YOUNG MAN.

1t was one day about the middle of
last August that broad-backed young
man entered the jewelry store, and had
been gazing around for five minutes
when a clerk came forward and asked
what could be done for him.
I'm just looking about little for
Christmas" was the reply.
Il see. It's rather early for Christ
mas presents, but it's the early bird
that catches the worm, you know. Is
it a ring for a young lady"
''Mabbe"
How expensive a ring would you
like to look at?"
The young man fidgeted around for
a spell and then sunk his voice to a
whisper and replied:

FRANCE STILL
WORLDS BANKER
THIRD OF A BILLION SENT INTO
THE COUNTRY FROM ABROAD
EACH YEAR.

PARIS, December 27-Although gen.
eral trade conditions in France suffered
in 1908 largely because of the reduc-
ton in American demand, figures sub
mitted by NJ. Leroy Beaulieu and other
statisticians demonstrate the imposing
strength of Frances financial position
and her right to the title of the
worlds banker" Frances fortune is
growing steadily as the result of an
annual saving of one billion dollars,
much of which must seek investment
abroad.
Leroy Beaulieu's fiugres show that
France now receives $3.50 900, 900 as an
annual income from foreign holdings
He estimates the present wealth of the
French people at $45,OOO,0 600, 600, or
more than $l100 for every man, woman
and child and as the estimate is based
upon declared succession taxes it is ad
rittedly much below the real figures

tai, spiritual and physical advance
ment.
1t has always been the policy of the
Y. M. C. A. to seek such opportunities
OF branching out in fields of useful
ness and the opportunity offered at
Leilehua, especially in view of the
fact that soon the camp will be much
larger, is a special one and one that
could not well be missed, from the
viewpoint of the practical workers of
the ever progressive Y. NJ. C. A.
Oother plans by other organizations
in religious work are under consider
alton and the Salvation Army has
marked off Leilehua as well as Pearl
Harbor, when the time comes TO
strike, as spots on their maps of war
against "the DEVIL" which must be
fortified and garrisoned to the best
availability.

That's it, but you can never tell,
you know, Do you guarantee those
things?"
How do you mean?"
That she'll agree to marry me if I
buy a ring?"
We'll hardly. That's scarcely IN
our line, you see. The best ! can DO
is to hope that the ring may sort o.
olinch things"
"That won't do" said the young man
as he shook his head If you won't
guarantee then guess l won't buy"
He went away and nothing more was
seen of him until the other day Then
he entered the store again, and walking
up to the same clerk he said:
