And you went on. bending your back
over your work and straining your
eyes in the uncertain light, because
you felt the job must be done
You did not notice the eye strain at

later when the oculist put glasses on

Nature honors few overdrafts on her
account. You must pay.
One day you were cleaning house or
doing some other big task. and you
did not feel so very tired. so you kept
on, exhausting the last resource of
your vitality, until you were forced TO
go to bed with A raging headache.
You overdrew the account-and paid

And your defense-I am a married
man-is that the thing must be done
and there is only you TO do II. and it
takes determination and perseverance
to accomplish anything.
You are right But
Do you stop to think that It takes as
much or more determination and
strength of mind to lay down a piece
of work unfinished and before you
have exhausted yourself?
The wise woman does that
She knows just about how much vi

Insult 10 Flag Resented.

There are places on the continent
where the American Flag cannot be
nSulted with impunity. Here in the
National Capital it can be used on toilet
paper and to name whisky, and to be
used for window curtains at question:

tiers on the stage, and even for designs
in tlIins in the National Capitol, hut
one cannot "cuss" it out in Cody, Neb.
An Enslishman by the name of VIM.
Bewley went to Cody short time ago
to make an investigation of some lends.
Some way or another Bewley and the
dcnisons of that section of the State of
Nebraska didn't get on well. and the
"blarsted Britjsher," to get even, stood
on the street corner and began swear
ing at the paSsers-by. Finding that the
people didn't pay any attention to him.
he turned his violent language upon
the Flag and began to make Insulting
remarks about the banner that waved
over the only forces that ever licked
Great Britain The personal insults
didn't count, the people simply consid-
cring the source, but the insult to the
Flag counted for everything, and the
citizens OF Cody-glory be-took a day
off and attended to the case of MIR
Bewley. He WAS taken in charge by a
committee of citizens and escorted to
the station the band playing Yankee
Doodle" At the depot lot of hood
lums used Mr.. Bewley for target for
overripe hen fruit for about half an
hour, and then they put him on a
freight train and he pulled ont. If Mr..
Bewley writes a book about us. as
says about us will be aplenty. but it
won't hurt. and ne knows now how the

No Use for Small Change

of beer cost a quarter. and whisky. I
guess. went at 81 drink. Newspapers
were sold at two bits apiece: so were
oranges, apples and all kinds of fruit
that sell around here by the dozen"
Mr.. Brand then went on to relate
that men bought liquor up there and
paid for it in gold dust. Bartenders
carefully weighed it on delicate set
of scales kept in every saloon for that
purpose.
"A number of acquaintances invited
me and a friend of mine. to a place to
have a drink. Everybody was drinking
whisky in quantities that ordinarily a
man would measure out in taking a
glass of beer. All in the crowd but
myself and my friend had been in Alas
ka for a number of years, and paid for
their purchases with gold dust The
local men could not tell what they were
paying for the drinks. Presently it
came my friends turn to buy, and he
laid a $50 gold piece on the bar. The
bartender handed him back IL silver
dollars. Those drinks had been costing
81 apiece"

Light and Hcavyweights.

Battling Nelson, the lightweight
champion of the world, and Uncle Joe
Cannon, the heavyweight champion of
the National House of Representatives,
were introduced to each other one DAY
last week. The champion of lightweight
fists appeared before the House COM
mittee in opposition to bill introduced
bv Representative Smith, of Iowa, to
prohibit Interstate transportation of
priZelght pictures or stories. After he
got thru with the committee the inter
national scrapper was presented to his
alleged prototype, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Nelson's critical inspection of Mr..
Cannon led to his remark that Mr..
Cannon would have made a great
featherweight" Then to the Speaker
he said: IF you had begun boxing a
few years ago you would have made a
better boxed than Speaker, and you
are certainly some Speaker"
Now, that is what | call real COM
pliment," Mr.. Cannon replied.
The Speaker shook both of Nelson's
hands, and felt his biceps and shoul-
ders. Nelson carefully ran his hands
over the somewhat gaunt frame of
Speaker Cannon.
Why" said Nelson, Il heard you
were a big man. but you're only little
feller."
Uncle Joe grinned and put up his
hands in approved pugilistic style. Nell
son accepted mock challenge, and
put up his practiced hands as if in de-
fense. Speaker Cannon made a few
swift passes at the "Battler," who
backed away, laughing. After the in
formalit!es of the unique introduction
