The spender

A YOUNG man from Wilkesbarre, Pa. "A went to New York city and spent A $500 in a day and nght-because he wanted to be a millionaire for a day."
 He arrived on a special car. had "a time" according to his standards. and went home broke" but boasting. Silly chap, Does he suppose that miIlionaires have nothing to do but blow in money on riot ous living? The average rich man is too busy making more money to indulge In dissipation. He does not go the pace be- cause he cannot afford it. He is seeking money, not diversion. This young man of Wilkesbarre says he inherited the $500. That makes the matter worse That money represents somebody's sweat and privation. But it was his, you say. Did he not have the right to spend it as he chose? Legally, yes; morally
 No!
 That money is part of the accumulat- ed assets of working social order Nor ally he is bound to use it as trust.
 Six hundred dollars. It would feed 5000 hungry children. It would buy somebody a modest home. Instead 1t bought only fools paradise for a day.
 It requires no more brains to fall into an inheritance of $500 than to fall into a mud puddle.
 It requires no less brains or merit to waste $500 than to earn 50 cents as a scay- enger or a rat catcher, honorable oceu- pations beside that of the waster.
 Anyone can waste money.
 It requires neither wit nor grit to play that farce.
 But it takes men of sex to go into the crowd at the market place or stand bare breasted before the furnace fire or heaye clay out of a ditch and get and use mon ey rightly.
 And
 No red blooded man has any right to dawdle in Turkish baths at $25 per or play the puppet millionaire by giving S5 tips to the manicure ladies.
 The spender is drope.
 He merely eats the honey. He neither gathers nor spreads the pollen. In bee dom, where they do things properly, the workers sting the shirkers to death and drag out their bodies
 And that poor fool from Wilkesbarre-
 He adds to the stigma of the spender the reputation of the braggart who boasts of his accomplishment.

The "A tnf Kindness

It is the history of kindness which alone makes the wsrld tolerable. If it were not for that, for the effect of kind words, multiplying, spreading. making one hap py through another and bringing forth benefits, some 30, some 60, some thou sand fold, l should be tempted to think our life practical Jest-Robert Louis Stevenson.
 Your friend or neighbor has failed in some enterprise or slipped cog some where or lost his job. He Is hungry for little sympathy, though too proud to show it,
 Your disapproval will only add salt to his wound.
 An acquaintance has committed an error of which he is ashamed. He did wrong, but will you help him on or turn him down?
 Be big and help him.
 By turning a deaf ear and an unsym- pathetic heart toward your wayward brother or sister you betray your small ness and harden your heart
 God radiates and uplfts; great souls are Godlike Can you fancy a pitiless God who sneers at the human who falls or fails? No more can a good human soul do that

Let Col

Forgetting the things that are behind.
 Paul knew humanity. He knew how we cling to the things that are behind and how these things hamper us. They are like the ball and chain the convict drags about with him. We cling to old clothes. The cast off garments are of no use to us, but might be to others.
 And old letters Moth eaten. yellow, they should have been burned years ago.
 And old furniture. Slippery old chairs and couches. grass cloth covered; lame, deerepit stuff that is stored away because it is old.
 There may be some sentimental excuse for clinging to old clothes and garments, but there is none for harboring old re- sentiments and old prejudices, cherishing old hatreds and grievances, keeping alive old dsputations reviving old bickerings.
 Let go, They are behind Forget them.
 Why drag such outworn, bygone trash along with you? Many of the ills of life can be cured merely by the method of forgetting them. Why fuss and fmef You sour your disposition and put prema- ture lines in your face. Drop the curtain, You have plenty ol present day problems to keep you busy. Paul says, 'Forgeting the things tha are behind, let us press forward | Forward, That's great word. Cu loose from the old troubles. They are be- hind you and cannot be changed. The past is turned from us and sleeps Do not wake 1t.
 The future is his, with its brambles and flowers.
 Let us drop the vain things of the past Let us cover them over with the broad mantle of forgetfulness. Let them go-and cling fast to the eternal verities
 Face today with today.
 We can make it or mar 1t.
 The present Is ours.
 The present is ours. Let us not face to- day with yesterday. And not only is the present ours but
 The future is ours!
 Give away the old clothes and the old chairs to those who need them. Make a bonfire of the stuff that is useless. And forget the old pains and sorrows and na- treds and misunderstandings.
 Let go. And press forward.

No Glue and a Mystery Still.

There is no clue, at least as far
as known, nor development in the
murder of C. C. Barefield. This
crime, as others which have been
committed in Caddo Parish, may
never be unearthed. And realizing
This possibility, the murderer Is
feeling comparatively safe, perhaps
in some seclusion, or possibly he is
encouraging himself over the pre-
sumption that in a few days tht
whole thing will blow away and be
forgotten.

MID lENTEN DANCE

The most successful party given at the Warren District Country club this season and one of the most successful or the clubs history was the Mid Lenten dancing and card party held at the club house Monday night un- der the auspices of the ladies com mittee which is in charge of furnish ing the remodled building.
 The party was a success in every way. There was a very large attend ance, but because of the increased room in the club house including the billiard room which provided enter talnment for many and the dining room which. was utilized as a card room there was plenty of room for all and the crowded condition which has sometimes marred large parties in the past. was missing Everyone present seemed 10 enter into the spirit Of the affair and many were heard to express the opinion that the party was the most enjoyable that they had ever attended at the local club As all the expenses of the party had been donated by the lady members and wives of members of the club the en tire amount of the receipts from the SfAAt 0A NANhNlS NcAS 1AuFN AO lLli AAAAA for new furniture and furnishings which the ladies are securing for the club.
 The regular program of dances started about nine o'clock, but before that time a few preliminaries were enjoyed by those who wished to dance while others found entertain ment in the billiard room and at the card tables. Both of these features or the evenings entertainment were enjoyed by some all through the even ing and until the dance program was finished in time for the guests to start for home on the l2 o'clock car.
 The idea of St Patrick's day was carried out in the programs which were tied with green cords and in the music for the dancing, the first num- Der on the program being Erin Go PraUgh" and the closing number The Shamrock The music which was furnished by Brennan's Orchestra was entirely satisfactory to the dancers. Punch. which had been prepared by some of the members of the commit tee in large, was served during the evening
 Credit for the success of the party is due Mrs. w. II. Brophy and the oth- CT members of the committee and to II. T. Hamilton, who contributed largely to it's success through his work as floor manager for the ladies The committee who were in charge and acted as patronessesl of the party were: Mesdames Alfred j. BalmtOrth, George A. Bridge, William II. Brophy, Everett E. Ellinwood Edward k. Ladd, Lucien L. Miner, Joseph E. Morrison, NJ. Newman Gerald F. sherman, James B. Tenny.

 The Elks home was crowded last night when the strains of music from the C. and A. band filled the house with melody That was just the start for up in the lodge room tables were laid as 1t was a sit-down affair for all who could find seats and there was some mullican" and fxins There was more band music, there was vocal music, singing is meant and chin music, nothing deroGatory here for the talks were interesting the takers entertaining and the s'or- ies good, and there were other stunts too, not the least interesting of which were the boxing events Some class 10 those and lively enough to keep all wide awake and on the qUi vive And SO the evening waned away and the wee sma' hours found there way beneath hay canopy Of cigar smoke. the aroma showing that the cigars were purchased by an ex- pert who had never promised his lov. irg mother that he would not burn the aromatic weed.
