a Word For the Tiuhtwad.

In France they have an expressive
phrase. liquid money" 1t means that
part of the family income which is
used for the necessities and luXuries
of life. 1t is quite apart from and
kept apart from the more serious. sub
stantial part of the income. which is
the saved part In America the entire
income is liquid. and the man who at
tempts to make part of it solid is
called ''tightwad" A "tightw;!d

SPECULATING ON MARGIN.

On the London Stock Exchange an
other method prevails which. says
Moody's Magazine. il is probable has
done more in the long ago past to give
stock speculation its bad name than
all the episodes of an uilSavOry nature
which have ever occurred on Afneri-
can exchanges. In London after the
inevitable Introduction to IA broker the

He must also pay charge called

mitment. As a consequence Of this
way of doing business speculator
may be trading on few points mar
gin in reality or. in fact. on no margin
at all. He may be utterly penniIess
without the broker knowing it.
That this method works out with
fewer losses in England than il would
do here is due TO the fact that the
social and economic strata to which an
Englishman belongs are much easier
to determine than the corresponding
facts among us. and also that an intro
duction means more there than here.

E7t,,er's Method.

During a recent slight illness the
five-year-old Teddy, usually so amia-
BILE, fatty and obstinately refused to
take his medicine. After a somewhat
prolonged and Intellectual argument
with him his mother at last set the
glass of medicine down, leaned her
head on her hands and played" that
she was crying. A moment passed,
and the tender hearted Teddy, unable
longer to bear the sight of his mothers
stricken attitude, inquired, whats
the matter. mother. dear" With
out removing her hands from her
eyes she replied. Pm grieved that my
son won't take his castor oil for me.
Whereupon Teddy sat up in bed and
offered consolingly: "Oh. | wouldn' t

Father will be home soon, and he'll
make me take it."-Delineator.

and as it was harvest time Tillson en-
ployed him.
Now, Jane no sooner saw young Zeke
Freeman doing the hardest work there
was to be done on the farm, which her
uncle put upon the young man, than
she pitied him. Pity being akin to
love, she loved him. She was bright
enough, however, to keep the situation
from her uncle, who never suspected
it till Freeman one day went to him
to ask for James hand.
mo; We can't have Jane" snarled
old Tillson ungraciously. "She's my
brothers daughter an has money of
her own, an you amt nothin' but a
hired man with no prospects. l don't
see what Jane was thinkin' on to say
We could ask me. Ye can't have her,
an that's all there is to it"
Zeke opened his mouth as though to
protest or to strengthen his case by
further argument, but Tillson's face
was grim and forbidding, and he knew
the old man too well to weaken his
chances by causing useless irritation
He turned away.
That afternoon they were near the
farmyard gate, Zeke digging post
holes and old Tillson patching up a
WheelbarroW, when the drummer OF an
agricultural warehouse appeared. But,
instead of going straight to T1llSon,
he stopped at the gate and began to
examine it curiouSly.
"Queer contrivance that" he said
presently. Good idea, though-grand,
good idea. How did you happen to
think Of it?"
Its some of my hired mans dilly-
a1allyin'," replied Tillson gruff1y. Hes

Zeke flushed a little, but did not
look up.
mo wasted time about that" de-
clared the drummer emphatically. Its
q valuable idea. There's money in it.
''Money?' questioned Tillson eagerly.
Then he saw one of the horses squeeZ-
ing his body through the open door
way Of the corncrib, and he rushed
off. He would have sent Zeke, only
he preferred him to continue at the
post hole digging.
$50 it's your idea, is it?" said the
drummer as he crossed to Zeke's side.
-'Going to have it patented, of course"
Zeke laughed. "Patentedw he echoed.
@'That foolish thing? Why, it's moth
ing but a lot of stones and two
hinges placed so the gate will shut Of
itself"
"But that's just the sort of thing
which usually proves valuable" per-
sisted the drummer. 1.-The simpler the
device, if it's useful, the better. You'll
make a mistake if you don't protect
the idea"
"Then l guess I'll make, the mis-
take" said Zeke carelessly. Patents
cost money, and | haven't any. Be-
sides, if had wouldn't risk so cents
on that foolish thing"
The drummer regarded him thought

A legal journal tells a story of an
Illinois attorney who argued to the
court one after another a series OF
very weak points, none of which seem
ed to the court to have any merit until
the court finally said, "Mr. -, do you
think there is anything in these
points?' TO which the attorney re-
piled, "Well, judge, perhaps there isn't
much in any one of them alone, but
didn't know but your honor would kind
of bunch them"
