That afternoon he came again,

"Give what you have. To some one
it may be better than you think
-LongfelloW.-
certain young girl who acts as
assistant in doctors office collects ali
the old magazines every few months
and personally carries them to a char
liable organization, which sees that
they are distributed to people to whom;
they mean a good deal.
This girl does not earn a large sal
airy. and she has very little actual mon
ey to give away, but there is no doubt
in my mind that if list of the larg-
est givers in this city were made out
by a Superhuman parsonage, somewhat
after the fashion of the list whicF
Abou Ben Adhem's angel visitor COM
piled, this girls name would not be
far from the head of that list.
Another woman. whose means are
rather limited, always puts up sup
ply of preserves quite disproportionate
to her small family. They are one OF
the few things I can afford to give
she says land I take real comfort in
being able to pass them on to people
VINO don't have anything but store
preserves" When anyone in the neigh
borhood is ill this woman is sure to ap--
pear with CHEEKY word and a tumbleT
of delicious currant jelly or toothsome
marmalade, or whatever happens to be
the invalid's favorite preserve-for a
wonderful memory of her friends likes
and dislikes is an important part of
this dear lady's giving. And on Christ
mas and Easter and all the little gift
giving days she goes about surprising
the shutins, or the lonely old person
with a humble but welcome little gift
Can you doubt that she, too, would
be on the new Abou Ben Adhem's lis?
Still another woman, who has not
much money to give, takes great pride
and pleasure in her charity bag. In
the first place, she makes it a point
not to keep any garment which can
really be dispensed with on the chance
of one more wearing. In the second
place, she does not rip off the pretty
buttons, the braid, etc. from a garment
before she gives it away. In the third
place, she sees that everything she
gives is clean and neatly mended. I'D
like to give money" she says, and
can't, but these are things that l can
give" Doubtless to the unknown re-
cipient of the charity, who finds clean
whole, pretty garment in place of the
denuded, ragged and often soiled junk
she has been accustomed to, this wom
ans gifts prove far better than she
thinks.
The very poorest of US have many
little things to give. They may be
even less than these things L have mem
toned. They may not even be material
gifts at al, just such things as the
sound of a happy laugh, the compan-
ionship of a cheerful personality.
But whatever it is, don't neglect tt
give this little gift of yours and give
freely. ITO some one it may prove
better than you think

LOW WAGES FOR RISING LIFE.

In Germany there are so many fly
ing machines that the men who oper-
ate them have an organization of
their own, called the League of Ger
man Aviators. This. league has en-
abled the "birdmen" to make. a con
certed demand for higher pay or
higher minimum wages. Famous fly
ers no doubt get all that they ask. The
sum demanded is exceedingly modest
all things considered. 1t is only 800
marks a month, which means less
than SIS.
That is what the German aviators
think the least noted and least popu-
lar men of their craft ought to get for
risking their lives every time they
work, 1t is the limit fixed for taking
long chances with death in the ordin-
airy course of their occupation.
Some of these flying men, it seems,
have been paid as little as $50 marks
a month, or about $37. That is not
much more than a dollar a gay, and
although it is true that several days
may pass when no exhibitions are
given and no use is made of aero
planes the terrible risk of the work
when it comes makes such pay sad
cheapening of life. 1t also involves
much danger of injuries which are not
fatal but disabling and largely destroy
the earning power of the victim.
In this country flying machines will
have to be made much safer before
there will be $37-a-month aviators for
hire, or men willing to risk their lives
for SIS a month. American careless
ness of life is a national scandal and
world wonder, but American wages
are far above the German scale for

SAYS UNCLE CAV

A few very successful politicians to
the contrary notwithstanding, frank
ness is a mighty big asset in any kind
of business, and he who knows how TO
use it wins.
The other day a new grease joint
opened up in our block. It wasn't much
of a place to look ADJUST the ordinary
cheap restaurant, except that it was
new and clean and there was a very
frank sign on the wall. 1t conveyed
this information:
PAY your bill and go out through the
kitchen if you want to. There are no
secrets in our business"
That grease joint is rapidly putting
its two nearest competitors out of bust

bill and made his exit through the

the sign and cared to look no farther.

And water the desert for miles!

And work as the greatest king bee!

If he didn't, why would he attempt to

country on a commercial scale in 1867
in South Carolina, and since then SO =
640,S10 tons of rock. valued at $780,
329,275, have been marketed. OF the
total South Carolina has marketed
11,2O0,074 tons; Tennessee, which be-
gan to produce in 1894, 6,4S3,9S3
tons, and Florida, which came into the
market in 1888, has sold 20, 81, 290
tons
Practically all of the phosphate
rock mined in the country has been
produced in the south, the figures of
Tennessee including a small produce
ton in Kentucky and Arkansas.
How much phosphate rock remains
in the south cannot be estimated. Last
year there was prospecting in a new
field in central Kentucky, which 1t is
thought may become a considerable
producer, and, in the same year, in
vestigations in a field embracing parts
of idaho, Wyoming and Utah became
the basis of an estimate that the field
had a productive capacity of 100000
tons.
