HER WINNING WAYS.

l met her down by the seashore
On a sunny day in June:
We sat together on the beach.
Where the wavelets played a tune,
She spoke about her mansion
And her country place so fair;
About her string of servants
And conseryat tories there.
She said she kept three motor cars,
Had fortune in the banks,
And kept champagne always on tap
In gold and ivory tanks.
Then she limited she was single
And my heart just throbbed with bliss
And If I'd been worth million
q nave handed her a kiss.
l suspected l could win her
Twas the one best chance of life
And If | had not been busted
ID nave surely copied a wife.
But | could not linger longer
BY he sad, romantic shore;
| knew my ticket would expire
And my dream would soon be DER;
SO l packed my bag and baggage,
Started for my home next day,
Left my million heiress weeping
Where the wavelets gayly play.

But don't think that ] am sore,

''The first figure shows that what
might be called the vital assets of the
United States for the population of
over $5,5O0,OO0, as estimated by the
census of 1907, amount in value to
s., 100000, multiplied by $4,000 or $780,
0O0,O0O,OOO which, though a minimum
estimate greatly exceeds the value Of
all other wealth.
That 100000 human lives are wasted
every year, is another startling state
ment contained in Prof. Fishers re-
port Every year according to vital
statistics taken within the past few
years, 100000 persons die in the Unit
ed States. Prof Fisher believes that
fortytwo percent, or $780, 00 Of these
deaths are preventable or postpOnable
if the government and people would
adopt only simple precautions to ward
off disease and prevent accidents,
"Since such postponement,' says
Prof Fisher, ''would save on an aver
