THE NEW ECONOMY.


There are a great many ways of
saving money, but an Ottawa man says
his wife has the most novel method
of laying up money that he has ever
making fad of it and he says that it
is perfectly safe and harmless
method.
Her plan is this: She makes up
her mind that she wants a new wolfe
dress or leghOrn hat and mentally
pays down the twelve bucks, or what
ever it costs, then turns around and
decides she can't afford it. Thus de-
cided, she cancels the mental order
and saves the dozen bones to apply
on the grocery bill.
It's a great scheme and this Otta-
wan says his wife saves nearly fifty
dollars a week by the novel method.
OF course. he doesn't draw fifty a
week but she saves it just the same,
and by saving more than he makes
she is constantly boarding up money
at a rapid rate. The family is fixing
to spend the summer at Atlantic City
on the money the housewife has
saved.
The only drawback is that some
times the woman follows up her men
tai orders with real ones and then the
poor, tired clerks have to go to the
trouble of sending something out on
approval and then getting it back
again.
This woman has a neighbor who is
stronger on the approval" method
than she is but she saves more
money because she doesn't order as
much.
oh. it's a great system and the hus-
band thinks every housewife in Otta-
wa ought to know of the scheme and
try it.-Ottawa Herald.
THE PROFIT OF SOUL SAVING.
Billy Sunday has just received $10,-
500 for saving souls at South Bend.
Ind. This same amount of money put
where it ought to be put-into the
churches of South Bend-would have
accomplished far more good.
But people who scream with horror
when asked to give a dollar to the To-
cal minister-the man who faithfully
baptizes the babies, marries the sons
and daughters and burns the beloved
dead-will become so enamored of
Billy Sundays abuse that they will
gladly part with their last cent to fill
his already stuffed purse. This is a
funny old world and among its other
anomalies is the travelling evang. who
gets the coin.-Independence Re-
porter.

The Summer Resort.

The Summer Resort.
I'm going to spend the summer
Right where did last year.
The place lacked no convenience,
Conducive to good cheer
I had there every comfort,
I did not lack for food,
The cooking was a marvel,
And everything was good.
The beds were soft and downy,
I did not lie awake
The coffee was delicious,
Like mother used to make.
Nobody tried to string me
On prices for my board;
Mosquitoes didn't bite me,
No irate boarders roared.
I motored out quite often
At very slight expense,
was quite close to tennis
And golfing was immense,
Yes, 1 will spend the susamer
With no desire to roam,
Right where I spent it last year,
I'm going to stay at home.
