glad to secure a first class funeral al

that, we feel that the mail order BUSH

IS A MISER HAPPY? M
One of the most intimate associates
of John D. Rockefeller declares that he
never has seen the oil Inillinnairc sreni

course to those incidental and personal
expenditures that the ordinary man
treats as a matter of course. Accord
ing to his statement, Mr.. Rockefeller
never bought cigar. or an ice cream
soda, or a ticket to the circus or
theater.
No average human being can under
stand what satisfaction Mr.. Rockefeller
can get out of money that he never
has seen nor handled, and which his

sures us that it is greater pleasure
to save than to spend. He advises all
young men to develop the saving habit
so early and effectively that it will
dominate them through life.
: Undoubtedly most OF US would be
better off financially if we had taken
nit themselves to be q nation of spend
thrffts. But if all followed the Rookie
Teller example, what tight old world
this would be. A greater authority
than he has commanded US to use
moderation in all things. And, after
all, few people really envy Mr.. Rookie

It is all very reasonable. The mind
has lots to do with the body-more
than the air, the water, the long walks,
the fruits and grits. A man can think
himself into disease, and he can think
himself out of it, that is, if it is
durable, and not become organic or

ANOTHER BLUE LAW.
The more we analyze the so-called
Blue Laws the more we can feel con-
WINGED that they were founded on
common sense. It may have been
primitive sense, usually hard and
sometimes brutal, but it consorted
well with the rude and unlovely sur
roundings of those early strangers
in strange and not altogether hos
pitable land. Once in while a sug-
gestion of the pioneer regulations
crops out in this later day. Not long
ago county court in Pennsylvania
enunciated rule that was born of
the common sense of a woman.
A man and his wife had separated
and their child remained in the care
OF the mother. Recently the father
asked the court te-apernit him to visit
his wife's home each night after work
ing hours to see the child. TO this
the wife objected, stating that she al
ways put the little one to bed before
that time. The father declared that
he found it impossible to go earlier,
his additions, his razor play, a change
of garments and a supper all combin-
that the child's health and temper
were largely dependent upon early re-
firing. The court thereupon took the
matter under advisement, and, after
brief period of consultation, de-
ferred to the wife's judgment and for
mally decided that the proper time to
put child to bed is at 1880 o'clock
each night.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

You may be rough and beefy, and q

But I'd know you by the sword-cut on

A circumstance which soon attracts
the attention OF an observer of this
shower is that all the meteOrs appear
To shoot away or radiate from a GER
tain point in the northwestern sky,
known as the radiant" or radiant
point" This particular place is near
the star Eta Perseus, towards which
star the trails on the photograph re-
produced herewith all seem TO point
The August meJeOrs are thus called
the "Perseids" from the constellation
in which they take their origin; while
the November meteOrs are called the
'Leonids." from Leo and the Biela
meteors "Andromedes," from the con-
stellatiOu AndrOmeda.
Atmosphere Heats Them.
Near the radiant the meteors have
very short trains. those farther away
are visible over long tracks. This is
an effect Of perspective. When we look
through a long, straight gallery or
tunnel the roof floor and sides are
seen to converge to one point, known
to artists as the vanishing point. "
The radiant is similarly produced The
meJeOric particles are travelling in
practically parallel paths when the
earth piunges in among them, and
owing to the resistance Of the air,
which is great enough to produce fric-
ton sufficient TO heat them instantly
To incandescence, they leave behind
them a luminous trail Of the paths
they pursue, and when we look
through all these parallel streaks we
see them converge TO a vanishing
point in the sky.
Visible For Hundred Miles.
The height at which a meteor be-
comes visible is thus an Indication of
the extent Of the earth's atmosphere,
and has been found TO be at from
seventy-five 10 100 miles in height
1t might be thought that at this
height the air would be too rare to
heat the intensely cold particles. par

planetary space, 460 degrees below

speed Of meteOrs and meteorites or

Perhaps a few words should be
