Every woman should remember that remark. As far as shopping is concerned, there are sometimes legitimate bargains-if the shop per is willing to pay the price for them in time and strength. At the end of the season a nd at ock-taking stime almost every large store has clearance sales. at which goods that are left ov e r are sold at reduced prices; oc- casionally, also, special oppor- tunities" arise, and the shopper who watches for them, and who buys of trustworthy firms, can get good value for her money.
 The immortality of trying to ob- tain something for nothing is just as real in the other activitives of life as it is in shopping. Tbere are 10 short cuts to intellectual success there are not even any stock taking or d-of-the-season sales there! A person must pay for each requirement by months and years of toll. There are no bargains in friendships. A girl who would have friends must show herself friendly. There are no special opportunities for full ness of life; it is won only by greatness of service.
 Not bargains, but honest values, honestly paid for, in any depart ment of life-that should be the object of any girl or woman who wishes to make a success of living. The Youths Companion.

 Didn't you know, the in- spectoy ask, that you couldn't bay an article like that for dol lr? You know the value of such goods in reliable shops: you know that the price is about the same everywhere. How did you ex. pect a mail order concern to sell you the same thing at a fifth of the regular price? Were you try ing to get something for nothing? The question was a fair one. A writer on economic subjects has declared that the desire to get something for nothing is the fundamental immortality of life. :"

health and spirits, they say.
Mr.. McAlpine had always had a hor

for years jumped out of bed at the
slightest sound in the house at night.
Mr.. McAlpine was about fifty-eight
years. old and had been resident
Of Duluth fifteen years. He went there
from Eau Claire, Wis, where he had
operated extensive numbering inter.
ests. :: @-.- :.
Since residing at Duluth he had op.
Grated extensively in Wisconsin, Min

OF CORRUPTION n
Former Chief Page Of House
Before Lobby Probers.

Washington, Aug. 16.-In a dramatic
statement I. H. McMichael, dismissed
chief page of the house of represen.
tatives, presented to the house lobby
investigating committee a sweeping
charge of corruption against Repre-
sentative James E. McDermott of Hi.
nois, for years his sponsor.
With intense earnestness McMi.
chael, in picturesque language, cor
roborated~ the allegations of M. M.
Mulhall against McDermott and made
additional charges, at times shocking
the committee and spectators with
outbursts of profanity and slang.
The witness protested that for years
he had exerted every effort to support
McDermott, had loaned him money
had helped him in his campaign. Now
he said, McDermott had thrown him
down and he felt that he must tell
the truth.
In addition to the charges already
made McMichael swore that the CHI!
cago representative told him that he
received $500 out of a fund of $40,
600 raised by the pawnbrol1ers o1
Washington to oppose a bill passed
in the last congress regulating Inter

rest. Other arrests are expected to
follow in the rigid investigation begun
by DR.. Keib.,
The shades were drawn in the dor.
mitOries and the inmates were asleep
when Thaw left his room. He was
fully dressed. The milkman's cart
was rumbling on the road outside as
he walked through the storeroom and
into the outer courtyard Of the
grounds. -.
Barnum, sole attendant at the road
gate, was pacing back and forth when
Thaw closed the storeroom door be.
hind him and apparently did not
grasp the significance of Thaw's early
rising. - 49,, ~
A six-cylinder touring car of sixty
horse power, followed by limousine,
also black, loafed lazily along the road
as the milkman drew near the gate.
Thaw standing few feet away, ap-
parently unconcerned, waited till Bar.
rum unlocked the gate and swung
1t wide to let the milkman enter.
At the same moment the two cars
drew up on the further side Of the
road, opposite the gate and stood
still, their engines throbbing.
AS Barnum stepped aside for the
milkman ito drive inside the grounds
he heard the gravel crunch beneath
Thaw's feet and, looking up, saw the
mailman flash past him for one Of the
waiting cars. s. .& :. -s.s
With a shout Barnum started in
pursuit, but flying leap landed Thaw
safe within the car. The wheels were
turning before the keeper had fairly
reached the roadway. They were
throwing up a cloud Of dust before he
had gone twenty five feet.
