Saving 1t.

An old Yankee farmer lay on his
death bed. He was so far gone that
the doctor told his daughter that she
could indulge him in anything he
might crave in the matter of food, to
the end of making him happy if pos
sible, as nothing could delay the end
or really hasten it,. The daughter
asked her father if there was any
particular thing his appetite fancied.
Yes" whispered the old man, "a
bit of fine cake with lots of nuts and
currants in it,"
A m neighbor, who heard the
old fellow express his desire, had a
fine fruit cake made, rich enough to
produce an attack of acute indiges-
tion in a wooden Indian.
The doctor was not pleased with the
old mans choice, but he inquired the
next day how it suited the patient.
Well, sir" the daughter replied,
father hasn't had a taste. 1t was
such a perfectly beautiful cake that
we hadn't the heart to cut into it;
and SO we are just keeping II for the
funeral"

Real Tip-TOppers.

Senator Brown, apropos of the
marital misadventures of a young
multi-millionaire. said at a dinner in
Washington:
The trouble is that too many of
our idle rich men think that among
their many rights is included the
right to do wrong.
They are, in truth as foolish in
this respect as the maid-servant
who said:
I've got a place among the top
notchers for sure. this time. They're
bang-up aristocrats ! live with now"
What do you mean by bang-up
aristoerats?' a friend asked.

wine and the ladies smoke and the
men swear"

Our British cousins have been ac-
eused of being devoid of humor for
so long that the following yarn is
told to remove the imputation in a
measure, according to Outing. Not
SO very long ago an Englishman, just
across, visited Standpoint, one of the
largest numbering towns in the north
west. Practically the entire town
and country are owned by the Hum
bird Lumber company. The English
man was taken out into the great
pine forests where immense white
pines tower on every side.
ITO whom does this forest be
long?" he asked.
ITO the Humbird Lumber com
pany," was the answer.
He was shown through the large
lumber plant and informed that il
belonged to the HUNDREDS. The fine
bank building. the great department
houses, all belonging to- the same
stores, rows upon rowes of dwelling
corporation.
As a browning treat he was taken
for a spin around Lake Pen d'Oryille
in a swift launch. Upon their re-
turn, while standing upon the dock
he asked:
May | ask who owns this lake?'
"Oh, IL belongs to God"
Jaw, really, is that so? Now
would you mind telling me how he
managed TO get it away from Mr.
Humbird?"

The Printers Dream Farm

In the ~rose-dawn of life's early morn
ing,
When the freshness of youth
mounts the brow,
He was YEARLY linking the roller,
With his thoughts far away on the
pillow.
Though he never had seen the green
meadows,
Nor had tasted real milk. sweet
and warm
A child of the smoke-reeking city
He planned to some day W a
farm.
He passed through the stage of two
thirder;
lie learned how to pound the ma
chine;
But above the click ana the rumble
He thought of the farm rich and
green.
The foreman was gruf and fault
finding,
And sometimes the burdens were
Then he thought of the farm by the
river
And the little boat tied to the
shore.
His face it grew old and wrinkled,
And Father Time whitened his
hair.
Then oftimes his courage was fleet
ing
And he was near giving up in
despair.
But through the gloom and the dark
There came a rare vision so sweet,
And In the fair dreamland of fancy
Was a farm with its green fields of
wheat.
But one night his old head fell for
ward;
On the keyboard his fingers were
still.
And the maehinist said to the bank
boy:
I'm afraid that's the last of poor
Bill"
The foreman raised his head gently;
A smile o'erspread the cold
features
He'd gone to his dream farm at
last.

HOW TO PRESERVE THE PAINT
Finicky Notorist Tells Method OF ne
tanning Original Beautiful Luster
of His Automobile.

How to retain the original beautiful
luster of his automobile is question
that interests every motorist, for the
owner of car is usually very hnlcky
about its appearance. The problem Is
equally important to the garage keep
er and the automobile dealer who has
facilities for storing his customers ma
chimes
Some automobilists complain that
the use of SOAP has resulted in the
streaking and marring of the painted
surface of their cars. EDWARD "
Huhn of Philadelphia, who has made
study of the subject Of keeping mo-
tor cars in a perennial condition Oh
newness, says that the paint on an
automobile car be preserved indeh-
nitely if the soap is dissolved and ap-
piled in semi-liquid form instead or
in its raw state.
In large garage and automobile con-
Germs, where the washing OF cars Is
an important part of each days work,
much unnecessary expense Is incurred
through a mistaken idea of the means
required to get the lather to proper
consistency. Employees of these estab-
lishments, as well as owners who
wash their own cars, act on the as
sumption that it is necessary to use
large piece of soap on a sponge to
get the desired lather.
Mr.. HUM suggests that better and
decidedly more economical method is
to dissolve 30 pounds of soap in 20
gallons of water and to use Ahis solu-
ton with water as occasion demands.
He figures that saving iof 25 per
cent will result in the soap bills OF
these garages and automobile com
panies.
