Dear Mrs. Thompson: My work has

him.

had been more OF the friendly sort,

business man in the town and both
are considered fine men.
But in the town / make my head

waiting until | am 81. | am trying
hard to look ahead, and. as you know,
at 81 it Is a great deal harder to find
a companion than at 26.
The reason he gives for the delay
Is that his folks are very wealthy
and he wants 70 have enough saved

one for waiting. II he can support

bone to marry no matter what his
parents have 10 say. presume he

had from one OF the life guards
at Atlantic City.
1t appears that not long ago q
Philadelphia man and his nfne-year-
old son were at the end Of one Of the
piers gazing over the rail at the ocean
when suddenly the lad. leaning over
too far. tumbled into the water. The
life guards were just then at quite a
distance from the scene of the acct
dent, 50 another man on the pier,
without waiting to divest himself Of
either coat or shoes, plunged into the
sea and after buffeting with the waves
for some time succeeded In getting
the half drowned boy to the beach,
whittier in the meantime the father
had fastened from the pier.
The parent took the affair very
coolly. AS the self-appointed rescuer
set the dripping boy at his fathers
feet the latter inquired:
Thank you. But what have you
done with his hat?"
And further deponent sayeth not.

- to hunt big game in British CO.

to that region he was in camp with
friend from Minnesota. Toward
morning, says the New Yorker, he
awoke shivering with cold. The fire
was very low. His companion was
fast asleep.
1t isn't nice to get out Of a warm
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire,
so the willy New Yorker gave his
friend q kick and then pretended to
be asleep There was no response,
and presently the man from New
York tried another kick. Isl
At this the westerner broke into a
laugh. II did the same thing to you
twenty minutes ago." he explained,

Importance of the Currency.

There is a great deal to do in every
legislative body. Take. for instance, the
question of banking and currency. 1 am
speaking to a commercial body. q am
speaking to men who know what the
function Of bank is and that function
of a currency is. and I venture
will encounter no denial when I make
the statement that there is not anything
in the whole range of national legislation
that more directly affects the welfare of
the poorest and less fortunate in the
country than the adoption of a sound
