ADVICE.

Eve been through the mia, my boy,
I have bumped the bumps of fate.
Eve seen gold turn out alloy,
I've seen friendship turn to hate,
I've seen plans go far astray
When it seemed they must succeed
Take tip from me today,
Never go above your speed.
Never spend cent unearned,
Never gamble on the morrow.
Here's lesson man has learned
Very often to his sorrow;
Let an old man tell you now
Save little-you may need,
Guard yourself, and, anyhow,
Never go above your speed.
I've been through the mill, know
Just how easy life appears
To the eyes of youth; but, oh,
Far down the lane of years
Disappointments wait for you,
Vain will be regrets, indeed,
Keep your heart and purpose true.
Never go above your speed.

they had a session on May 23, 1911 and
that they again were in session in July
and by way of illustration Commissioner
Wienecke's bill allowed at the July meet
ing was $1S3.65. The bills of the other
members were not quite so large. 1t
looks to the writer like a good measure
OF econmy to have the board meet once a
month and do business instead of having
each commissioner rowing about the
county claiming to be doing public work
when the minutes of their meetings do
not show that any work was assigned
them on committees or otherwise be-
tween sessions of the board Or that they
were acting with any authority to present
whatever bill they please and have the
same allowed without investigation as a
matter of courtesy from their fellow
members.
The writer has no objections to being
publicly credited with objecting to this
state of affairs but cannot see the pro-
priety of the commissioners incorporating
a talk with the county treasurer and the
writer in their minutes and having the
same paid for at public expense. The
county commissioners, even if they do
not think sc or do not act are public
servants and have no right to expend
any public money excepting in the man
ner authorized by law. The instances
given in this article of illegal slip-shod
methods are only a very few that could
be cited from an hours examination of
the public records. In this state of affairs
is it not time that sorne interest be taken
by the public in the manner in which
public servants are expanding public
money?

A Laird's Mistake.

Some years ago a Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of a dis
tinguished member of the family who
had 1ourished during the reign of
George Ill, one by Reynolds and the
other by Raeburn. He knew no more
Of pictures than a Newfoundland dog,
and he decided that two portraits of
the same individual need not be kept.
The Reynolds was retained, while the
Raeburn was presented to a public gal
lery. The worthy man was struck
with CONSERVATION some time after
ward when he found that his gift had
been valued at 5000 guineas, and prob
ably the picture would now fetch dou-
BILE that sum.-London Truth.

The radiant Boy Ghost.

An interesting house Of commons
ghost is the radiant boy" This
child ghost has been many times seen
and heard. Its complexion is Of the
%colorless purity of Chinese white, a
halo Of silver sparkles about its head
during its peregrinations. and it's eyes
CLEAN in their sockets like bright cleo
trio lamps. 1t is evidently in agony.
for the palms Of its hands are stiff
and turned downward. and as it PAGES
from room to room it gives utterance
to means Of anguish and never lifts
it's gaze from the floor. So far as can
be ascertained this particular ghost
has no pre-spectral history, and why
1t should have chosen the house for
its haunt Is a mystery.-London Mail.
