great excitement, saying that a

He always seemed to have plen-
ty of money, so | gave him the

up his bank, and found he did

| deposited the check again and
again it was returned. A week
later | tried again, with the same
result. More for amusement
than anything else, | sent the
check to the bank for the fourth
time, and this time it went

Soon after that our friend

How Immigrants Carry Money.

One of the queerest sight, says
an exchange, is to see how diff
erent immigrants carry their
money.
Most English immigrants car
ry their coin in a small case at
tached to chain, which they
keep in a pocket as they would a
watch.
Irishmen always have a little
canvas in which notes and coin
are crammed together. Irish
girls, on the other hand, gener-
ally haye their money sewed on
the inside of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in
a belt around their waists, the
belt is usually an elaborate and
costly affair, no matter how poor
the immigrant may be.
The French mostly, carry a
small brass tube, in which they
can place forty or fifty twenty
franc pieces, which can be re-
moved very rapidly one at a
time.
There are few Italians who do
not carry a large tin tube, in
which they keep paper money or
silver coins, and this tube hung
around the neck by a small chain
or cord.
The Slavonians and Hungar-
ians carry their money in their
long boots, together with a
knife, fork and spoon. For
ward.

Are You a Beeear?

All the beggars are not hold
ing out a h and to passersby in
the street. You probably know
the man who is ever whining for
help. If a farmer, he thinks
his neighbors should help him
get in his grain or do his plow-
ing. If in business he is always
trying to borrow or wanting one
to boost him or drum up custo-
mers. He never seems to think
Nof relying on his own efforts.
There is a we'll known fable
about the larks in a grainfeld.
AS long as the farmers depended
on his neighbors and relations to
come and cut his grain the lark
felt perfectly safe. When the
man determined to cut the grain
himself the larks knew it was
time to seek safety elsewhere.
There are times when every
one needs help, but help should
be asked only when one has
made every possible effort for
himself.
Too much help given a man
weakens his character. Mil

His Working Class.

Every newspaper in the cOun-
try should use every effort to
push through the Canadian
agreement, especially the free
entry of wood pulp and white
paper. Free duty on thes e
products would enable the pub
fishers of the country to continue
to give to the reading public the
best of newspapers at the pres
ent low price. The paper man.
ufacturers of the country have
been gradually advancing the
price of the white paper, and
talk of still higher advances.
This would force the publishers
to increase the price OF news
papers, thus compelling the
reading public to spend at least
double the amount it is now cost
ing them. An increase of this
kind would also deprive a large
percentage of the working peo
pie the advantage of keeping
themselves informed.

0SLfR RIGHT, YOUTH
 SUCCEEDS AGE
Grn. Hair Is First Sign oi Age. Harmless Remedy Restores to
 Natural Color.

Osler isn't the only man who turns down old age. In the business world the young man" is always the one who picks the plums. It is an age of new thought" new talent" etc. and the old man is passed by in the race.
 One of the first signs of coming age is the appearance of gray hairs. When you see them act promptly. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair rem- edy will correct this sign. which so often deeeives people into thinking that age is really upon them. It is a well-known fact that Sage and Sulphur will darken the hair. Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur combines these old-time remedies with other agents, which remove dandruff and promote the growth of the hair. ..
 The manufacturers of this remedy authorize the druggists to sell it un- der guarantee that the money will be refunded if it fails to do exactly as represented.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug gists.
