Lazlness.

Persons may share the common
complaint of laziness without any ap-
probation of how far it is responsible
for the saddest cases Of mental and
moral disintegration. Laziness is real
ly the key to a large share of what
passes for lack of balance and perhaps
for insanity. 1t takes hold in the
schoolroom where pupils slight the
work they most need because they
like it least. Having shirked the
studies which would have done most
to balance their mentalities, they pro-
coed to emphasize this lopsidedness
by refraining from every line OF en-
deavor which is not to their liking
They find a hundred excuses for do
ing so, but nearly always their excuses
are not reasons. They do only what
they like until finally they do not like
doing that. Then they drift and re
greet that the ravens Of today are MOI
as active in their charities as In the
days of Elijah.

High Cost Of Living TO the
Village Loafers.

We we're sitting around the redhot
stove in the lobby Of the village tav-
ern, and Just when silence had
fallen upon the group one man turned
to another and asked:
"squar' Perkins, II you don't mind,
I'd like TO ask you a question"
The squire didn't say whether he
minded or not, but the other went
ahead with:
"Tt's about this ere high cost OF liv-
ing. Have you fingered out what's
the reason for it?"
ct have" was the answer.
"Then I'd like to hear It."
"Did you raise any wheat, corn or
oats last Year,"
'Noap."
"Any potatoes, beets or carrotsT
"Noap."
"Didn't raise nothing whatever to

Guess didn't"
"Just ate all you could Of what otn-

"And sot around and let your VIE

''Well, I've answered your question.
You and 100000 lazy loafers like you

expected to see row follow, but
none came. There was a minute OF
suspense and then the Questioner

peoulIar Western nanks.

The difference between the Amer
lean east and west so strongly empha-
sized by rhetoricians and meteorolo-
gists extends even to the banking sys-
TEN. In the west they lend money on
reputation, in the east on security.
On a day in June last. six little banks
in Seattle had lent on Individual or
firm notes without any other security
than the names $S.5970OO; while the
whole national bank group in New
York had lent on similar paper only
a little more than 100000. On that
same day, in San Francisco. the loans
of this sort amounted to more than
SAT 100000.
The western system is one Of credit
based upon industry. and upon much
eloser and more accurate knowledge
Of the man himself than can ever be
possible in the bigger eastern cities.

DEFENDING THE GUILTY MAN
Frederick A. Browns Story illustrates
the Conditions That Sometimes
Confront the Lawyer

Frederick A. Brown, well known
Chicago lawyer. told the following
story at a recent dinner:
Attorneys are frequently asked
how they can defend mep whom they
know to be guilty. The reply is that
we seldom n ever know that they are
guilty l once, however. became the
unwilling attorney OF man whom ]
knew to be guilty.
Il was in Judge Brentano's court,
waiting for a trial to be called, when
a negro was brought in. charged with
highway robbery. Judge Brentano.
finding that he had no attorney, d.
rected me, against my protest. to de-
fend him.
IT took the colored man aside and
said. Well, are you guiltyT and to my
surprise he replied. Well. boss, they
found the pocketbook on me and have
twenty witnesses to prove It, He then
went on to tell me that he had
snatched a woman's pocketbook on
Thirty-ninth street and Cottage Grove
avenue on a Saturday afternoon, ran
west In Thirty-ninths street, turned up
an alley, with a crowd after him, who
caught him as he was getting over a
six-foot board fence.
'Tn looking at the Indictment /
found that he was indicted under the
habitual criminal act, under which he
could be sent to the penitentiary for
forty years. returned to the court
room and insisted that Judge Bren-
tano should appoint some other lawyer.
which he refused to do. then made
the proposition to the prosecutor that
II he would waive the habitual crimi-
nal count would have my man plead
guilty and save the cost OF trial
This was agreed to. the darby was
delighted, pleaded guilty, and received
the minimlsm sentence. After 1t was
all over the darby turned to me and
said, Boss, that was so easy that |
believed IL you half tned you would

NEW WAY OF SAVING MONEY
How a Number Of Working Girls Are
Accommodating a Fund for
Vacation Trips.

Some girls working IN certain
trust company have organized most
unusual method of saving money for
their vacation trips. Two Of the girls
out of the thirty-1ve that have en-
tered into the plan are appointed trus-
tees, and the first Saturday In July
(any month can be chosen) each girl
pays Just two cents. With thirty-fve
girls that makes seventy cents. which
10 duly. deposited by the trustees In
the bank.
Beginning with the week following,
the assessment grows to four cents.
then six cents the next week, and SO
on, increasing two cents each week,
but the increase h so very gradual
that it is no great effort to put the
amount away.
The following June the money is
drawn out and each girl receives the
amount that she has paid In, which
would be $3.50, the saving beginning
In July plus about 81 interest. You
will readily see that the amount saved
will provide a girl with a nice two
weeks vacation and it is almost like
finding money. Until Christmas
when they need money most, the as
sessments are nominal, the "big" ones
coming in Lent, when one does not
need so much spending money.
AS the rule was made in the begin
ming that anyone who failed to pay
would lose what she had already put
in, everyone makes it a point to pay
promptly One good clause in the
laws stipulates that if any girl loses
her position or marries she can with
draw the amount that she has put in

German Court Balls.

In the German court balls not all
those who are invited are permitted to
take part in the dances which the
Kaiser witnesses.
The Kaiser has no love for ''the
quick and slovenly" Many months
before the ball the selected couples
rehearse the dances under the direc-
ton of Fraulein Gasperni, mistress Of
the court ballet. The Kaiserin criti-
cises freely the ladies and gentlemen
who show any shortcomings. The or
binary rehearsals take place in one
of the chambers of the palace, but the
final rehearsal is held on the eve Of
the ball. at the residence of one Of the
invited.
The Princesses royal carry trains
held by two pages, but the other Ia
dies have to manage their own. For
married ladies the length prescribed
is about II feet inches, the trains
of the other ladies being rather more
than half yard less.
