"At last" sa': Quillback, 1--WE

1.-THE old cl small, round,

For some yeaj al the course Of

But we hated . @ 20 the expense Of
new clock as long as wo ccIld make
that one do, so we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
year until finally it got to be SO tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought a new clock.
And then did little figuring. In
the course Of a year I had spent an
average Of five, minutes a day shaking
up that old. clock on: say, 800 days,
making, to save the cost of new
clock, a gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You d.
vide this by 80 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than 25 hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, I don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellcrs and Carnegies and
that sort of folks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
of SO cents an hour find that have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only GO cents!
"Of course, bG.ing the new clock
when we did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period. and if we count the life Of
such clock at say ten years we find
that we lave thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear on the new CLOCK
and this, properly, Of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save 50 cents we have met
with net loss of $12.43, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation of having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
1t go!
1--WE had been, AS III so many ways
we are prone 20 be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and we haven't got to shake
the old clock up any more, anyway"

TRAINING THE YOUNG CHILD.

No subject that people have to deal
with is more important than the train
ing of children, when they are young,
for as the Seeding is bent so grows
the tree. Advice on how to train chill
dren is almost as plentiful as air. 1t
can be found without end in the
multitude of publications alleged to
be sort of philanthropically published
for the development of the home in
all ways. It is banded hither and
thither by teachers and preachers,
doctors and lawyers and everybody
else on the slightest provocation. Much
of it comes from the mouths and
minds of old maids and old bachelors
who are ever handy with few rules
and regulations on the subject which
they must have framed from observa-
lions, certainly not from experience
except in isolated cases where they
have been burdened with the rearing
of relatives children. And good deal
of this advice, like most of the pro-
miscuous advice which is given free
of charge and even without the ask
ing, is. tommyrot.

[F'rom the Atchison G1obe.1
Bad habits are always stronger than
good resolutions.
After woman has been in love
three or four times. her heart be-
comes petrified.
A woman looks prettier getting a
baby to sleep than she does on a pub
lie platform.
A good woman's idea of something
disreputable is to make a practice of
attending more than one church.

name.
In a little town, man can always
get up excitement by going out on the
street, and predicting a business fail
ure before night.
A girl who has been engaged as
many as three times must have a
heart that looks as badly mussed up
as the top bureau drawer.
Before demanding your own way,
it is well to consider whether you
would be willing to grant everyone
else the same privilege
Women are all delicate and suffer
intensely. But look around you: How
many widows do you know who are
i'll? Ever know a widow to have an
operation performed?
There is an old saying that a wo-
man VINO pers1stently refuses to get
married, though she has chances, will
be compelled to mend all the old
bachelors clothes in the next world.
No one but a baby has pretty feet.
A girl of 16 may have face like a
Madonna. but she hasn't pretty foot
when it has nothing on. Feet show
age sooner than faces, and a grown
persons foot has no more beauty than
a birds claw.
Habit is very powerful. People who
have led simple and Industrious lives
from necessity, never recover from the
habit; good habits seem to be as pow
erful as bad ones. If you~can learn
good habits, they will take care of
you; you can not take care of your
self if you have bad habits. You can
not be forever watching yourself,
either, and do anything else.
