all like money and appreciate its
Importance as a factor of the happy
home. So if we tell you how every
man of you who has ever tried the
experiment can save, from fifteen to
twenty per cent. of his expenses
during the coming year, you will
probably listen. Now, that is just
what we mean to do. 1t is simple
and easy and sure to work. Just
tell your wife all about your busi-
ness affairs. Show her your balance
sheet, let her study it, and if she
doesn't know how, just teach her.
You think it will make her feel
badly; that it will make her blue.
Well, that will depend entirely on
the way in which you do it. If
you begin by declaring that there
is not another family in town runs
such bills as yours, and that there
is more money spent for the least
show about that house than any
other place you can find, she will
feel hurt, and if she has not had all
the spirit taken out of her by your
unfair treatment, she will resent it
a dozen times a day till you confess
that you have played the bully and
the fool.
But, on the other hand, if you
approach her as if she were an
intelligent being, with soul and
sense and self respect equal to your
own, you will find an interested
listener, willing and anxious to
learn ON the subject of family
finances, and although she may do
a little quiet weeping before the
interview is ended, they will be
tears of joy she sheds-that at last,
after years of waiting and hoping,
you have come to realize that she
is your friend and may be your
helper, instead of the child like
which you have treated her by
shutting her up like an oyster when
she ventured to ask question any
way relevant to business matters,
and studiously avoiding in CONVEX
sation everything connected with
hat great mystery.

Those who witnessed the per-
formance of the Uncle Zeke"
company at the opera house last
Saturday night say it was one of
the very best shows ever given in
Laclede. The company carried
good band and orchestra and there
wasn't a dull minute during the
evening. Nearly every seat in the
house was occupied.
G. o. Orton's sale Tuesday drew
large crowd and everything sold
well. His stock was all in good
shape and bidding was lively, one
three year~old mare going for $2lO

balance in proportion. Mr.. Orton
will move to Michigan next March,
where he has bought a 200 acre
farm.
Some time ago the w. G. T. U.

membership at her home Saturday |
evening, November 27. All mem
bers invited to be present.
In THE BLADE today will be
found the financial statements of
the Lomax & Standby bank and the
Allen Benson banking company
published under call of the state

local banking houses show a gain
over the statements made five

Standby bank shows $109, 900 on
deposit and this is one of the best
statements ever made by that insti-

NEW BALL LOSERS
 BLOW IN FROM EAST Three Players Arrive From St. louis-Practice Will Con- mence This Afternoon

This week marks the gathering of the clans in the baseball world. Yes terday three new players blew in from the east looking fine and fit as fid- dles and ready to make things hum and hustle on the diamond. The three ar rivals of yesterday were w. NJ. Doersch with an Arkansas league experience, and who is to hold down number two sack for the Miners once they get in the game. With Doersch was Hoeschell, who is southpaw slab artist with a record, and Tom Royal, who is to be the receiving end of the Bisbee battery. All three came from St. Louis and they look every inch the ball players they are said to be.
 Thus of the important talent there are now on hand six, the three above men tioned and the three W's, Wocey, Will Hams and Ward, which sexteete with the local talent obtainable will prac. tice along until the two men from the coast. who were wired yesterday to hurry up, shall arrive.
 Initial practice will be held today and from now on it will be a case of hustle }. the organization of a nine that shall play like machine and the perfection of team work No effort will be spared to whip a winning team in line to trim the Douglas Demons during the Fourth of July games.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT
 PLANNED ON FOURTH
Country Club Will Invite Wis., itors and Play Single and Double Matches

Tennis is destined to enjoy it's full share of popularity at the Country Club this season. The courts wcfe in active use most of Sunday and some excellently contested sets wer played.
 Although tine final match of the tournament is unfinished and has been hanging in this condition for several weeks past, nevertheless. this is to be gotten out of the way this week and another tournament is planned for Fourth of July on the Country Club courts.
 All details of the tournament which is to be held in connection with the celebration have not yet been perfect ed, that is the prizes have not yet been determined upon, but the tourna- -ment Is assured There will be both doubles and singles and letter of in yitation has been sent to Douglas. so that it is hoped that a, good delega' tSon of the best players from the Smclter City will be on hand. There are some enthusiastis players in Doug las but there do not seem to be enough of them to form team and no arrangement for a team match has been found possible although the War ren Country Club players have writ ten on the subject.
 The prizes will be good ones and Ii is expected there will be prizes for the winning team in the doubles and sin gles with a prize for the runner ur in the singles match.

WHY SHE HAPPENED.

I. Zangwill tells the following story: The fat girl of c. is not a myth, nor a show person, but a solid private reality that l have seen. Her fatness weighed upon her, so she went to a physician to get rid of some of 1t. He drew up careful dietary. she was to eat dry toast, plain boiled beef. etc, and to return in month to re port reduction. At the end of the month she could hardly get through the doctors doorway. He was aghast.
 Did you eat what I told you?" he asked.
 'Religiously." His brow wrinkled itself. Suddenly he had an inspiration. Anything else?" he asked.
 Only my ordinary meals. ."-Ex. change.
