When you go to a boarding
house to eat you select what you
want and don't kick because a
man eats everything or the table
and pays the same you do. Still,
you make a roar if something in
the newspapers doesn't suit you.
1t always pleases somebody.
Don't be a philosopher about
your stomach and fool about
your head.

1t is better to have the reputa-
ton of paying your honest debts
than of being a leader in society.
All the glory of social life cannot
compensate for the ignoming of
getting through on false pre-
lenses. The Indebtedness of a
man or woman who. for the sake
of display, is hunted day and
night by creditors, who almost
fear to walk the streets, is pitt
able. There must be an end to
him and bitter one. Character
is worth more than clothes, and
independence than the social
swim. 1t may NOT cut as great
a sweep or attract as much at
tention but it will last longer and
bring them much reward in the
end

Don't be a chump. Give your
trade to the merchants who keep
store the year around. Buy of
the man who stands at your side

Buy of the man who is your

The happIest man in the world
is the poor fellow who earns just
enough money to pay his debts.
Such man is possessed of the
happiness which causes HIM to
whistle and sing as he goes about
his work. and when he meets
you on the street. a pleasant
smile. speaking louder than
words. convinces you of his
sincerity. The rich man. with a
mortgage on every other house
in town and with a bank ac-
count may be happy. but his
happiness is not of the heart;
neither does it manifest Itself as
does the true happiness that
radiates from the countenance
of an honest working man.

- rEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Betwesn the
N close Of the stock exchange yester-
VI day and the opening today an
l Y agreement was reached between
certain banking interests and
some OF the large traders. II was
decided that the stock market was In a
condition where little aggressive buying
would bring about a sharp rally In prices
and check the decline.
Cables explaining tho situation were
sent abroad ard optimistic wires were
flashed to favored clients, with the result
that Immediately after the opening prices
for securities became firm, then slowly
advanced and finally. under the impulse
OF short covering and rather aggressive
buying from abroad, ended decidedly firm,
with averages showing the first 'substan-
,ial rally that has been recorded lie many
weeks.
While this buying was mainly directed
toward the better grade of railroad
stocks. industrials shared In the advance
and moved upward with comparative
ense. The street is heartily tired OF bad
news and the room traders Were glad to
aid the lnoy ement for better prices, The
ADVANCE was largely technical and 1t
would probably be hasty assumption TO
conclude that the decline is quite over.
