Here is puzzle that puzzles every,
body: Take the number of your liv-
ing brothers, double the amount, add
to it three, multiply by five, add to
it the number of your living sisters,
multiply the result by ten, add the
number of deaths of brothers and
sisters and subtract $50 from the
result The right number will be
the number of deaths, the middle will
be the number of living sisters and the
brothers. Try it and see.
We do not think it too much when
we say that it is the duty ofevery
good citizen and every public-s pirited
newspaper to work for a return of
prosperity, and to do everything pos
sibIe to restore and strengthen public
confidence. This cannot be done by
continually emphasizing all the
discouraging features of the situation
and slurring over every cheerful sign.
1t is am undoubted truth that there
are men today who would not know
that times were hard if their papers
had not told them so.
Life is too short to give up all to
business and nothing to pleasure and
rest. Too many people defraud their
stomach, head and heart until they
have made a competency. When
they expect to enjoy the pleasures
of life they are generally too old, or
their greed for money has dried up
all the we'll springs of their being
and they are incapable of enjoyment.
Devote your business hours to bust
ness and your leisure hours to- limo
cent pleasure and wholesale amuse-
ment and the cultivation of such !
things as will make life pleasant.

Every child should be taught to |
save money without being avaricious
Or nigagrdly. We need more thrift |
The average American wage Garner
wastes enough in his youth to make
him comfortable in his old age. We |
should take a lesson from France in |
this respect. They know how to en-
joy life and at the same time work |
hard and save money. They suffer
less from panics and depressed times
than any other people, because nearly
every person saves sometil ing against
a rainy day. The French schools
teach the children to save money and
the most frequent prize given in
schools is a savings bank book with |
a small sum to the credit of the own
er.
The man who can see no good i'm
his felloW-man ought to fall off the |
no guess about where he ought to be
and where he will go when he leaves
here. The milk of human kindness
has soured in him, his better nature
has become perverted, his eyes invert-
ed and his whole moral being turned |
aWry. He has lost confidence in men,
has no real respect for women, looks
On God as "a tyrant and death as AN
escape from thralldom. He is too
coward1y to destroy himself, too
abject to be honorable, too small
to bother about the
weightier matters of life, too con-
-emptible to be noticed and too apt
10 live out "a his days. Such men
may be classed the ''gad flies of life,
calculated to annoy their betters TO
ment strife, run discord, and bring
misery on mankind"
