HERE is REALLY GOOD IDEA
Fire Insurance Would Be an Easy
Matter If It Could Be Con-
Quoted That Way.

Senator Williams, at a dinner at
Yazoo said in condemnation of a
mooted tariff change:
"They who advocate this change
know just as much about the tar
If as the old lady knew about fire in
surance.
"This old lady visited an insurance
Office and insured her barn for $4,000.
The policy was drawn up, signed, seal
ed and handed over to her, and she
put it In her cabba and started out.
But hold on, ma'am, said the
agent. 4 must ask you, please, for
the first years premium
"'The first years premium? said
she. And how much will that be?'
"'There 1t is, ma'am, written on
the policy, said the agent. "A small
matter of $24.'
"Oh,' said the old lady, I'm in a
hurry this morning. You just let the
premiums stand and deduct them
when the barn burns down."

Great THINGS for Morocco.

According to consular report, the
exports of Morocco last year were
valued at 100000, of which more
than half was grain, principally bar.
ley. Eggs were valued at $1,000, 900.
Beans and cattle made up the rest.
Although the mention of Morocco
always conveys the suggestion of des.
ert, as matter of fact the desert is
several hundred miles from the coast,
and between the two lies some of the
most fertile land in the world.
Great things are planned by the
French and Spanish invaders, though
the results of their conquests are not
yet evident. Among other things,
many vineyards have already been
set out. If the results in Algeria are
any indication, the wine of Morocco
may yet become famous.

Woman Ran a Street Car.

To have been a real street car con-
ductor for three whole years, perform.
ing all the duties that the Job i'm.
plies, in fair weather and foul, in the
service Of one Of the first street rail-
way companies in the country, is the
unusual and probably unparalleled ex-
perience Of Mrs. Mary Susan Stone
Of Upper Swampscott, Mass.
It was in 1874, when citizens of that
quiet little town provided funds for
the organization and operation OF the
old Lynn City railway, now a part of
the Bay State Street Railway system,
that Sue" Stone, as Mrs. Stone is

which seated seven passengers on

nine passengers on each side, was &C.
quired. and for a time this remained

ONLY THING is TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Some
where on the Earth, Is
Law of Nature.

Every man has best girl waiting
for him somewhere in the world. The
moment that he is born, the catalogue
clerk in Times great factory assigns
him to a best girl or else puts him on
the waiting list.
There is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were
when you started, the inevitable at
traction will work your destiny, and
when you meet you will both know it.
All that is lacking is the material
realization, and inasmuch as all ideas
eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.
Sometimes a mans best girl is
homely; sometimes her mouth is not
cupid's bow, and her features are ir-
regular; that makes no difference; he
will love her just the same when he
meets her.
Also, she may be another mans
wife, Such things have been known.
Here's hoping that 1t will not hap

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then 1t
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
1.-THE sores were horrid to look at
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use --, but~it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura ONT
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day. and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. e. F. Sulzber-

One Way to Save Pennies.

Save all your empty coffee and bak-
ing powder cans, also your hubby's to-
bacco cans if he buys 1t by the pound,
which he should do, as by so doing he
can save the price of cigar or more
on a pound can. Now, in place Of
sticking labels on your empty cans,
try my way. Soak off the wrapper on
can and dry well. Then paint cans
white and let dry. Then print black
letters on whatever you wish to use
can for-for example, beans, peas,
rice, sage, and such like. Now, II
you buy your spices by the pound you
can save dollars in a years time.
They can be bought in bulk at all the
big stores. So save all your empty
cans to put them in. By painting cans
white and the letters black you can
find what you want at a glance and no
labels always coming off. Just try II
for yourself and see.

CHANGES KEEP A MAN YOUNG
Altogether Too Many Make a Fad Of
Becoming "set In Their
Ways"

Though mans body attains it's
full growth before his twenty-fourth
year, and probably earlier than that,
the growth of his mind depends on
himself. He can continue adding to
the sum of his knowledge and his
power to reason until extreme old age
If he preserves his mental alertness.
AS long as he retains a fair meas
ure of that curiosity about things
which often make him a nuisance
when boy and is interested in new
people, new sights, new books and the
thousand and one things that are
happening today, his mind continues
to grow. But when man finds that
change, bores him and limits himself
to one narrow round day after day,
he is really growing old mentally as
well as physically.
This premature ageing of the brain
is often selfinduced. There Is a class
OF men who make fad Of being I'M
interested in passing events. They
will read only one paper, they will sit
only in one chair, they will eat only
at one table, they will vote only for
one party, the name of which is the
same as that Of their forefathers, no
matter how much its principles may
have changed.
Though posing at first, they become
"set in their ways" and then they
are really old even though their years
scarcely number two score. If mis-
fortune or unavoidable change in his
mode of life overtakes such a. man
he is, like homeless cat, miserable
for the rest of his day. Those who
stay young mentally and spiritually
keep in touch with new people and
especially with the young, cultivate
the habit of looking with clear eyes
on passing events. For them in their
daily lives there are no laws of the
Modes and Persians. They may wear
themselves out, but they do not rust
away.-New York Commercial.
