But we don't happen to have any
chicken in the house: but my wife will

Chick, that's all I want" the old
woman answered, and chicken sne
must have if she was going to eat any
thing. So the sheriff went to restau-

WHOSE TEN oollARs7
A Man Had $40 Left Out Of His SAL
ary-His Wife, Daughter and Son
Claim it For Christmas Gifts.

| SIdlTn u fOf ShrlSSm as GJfIS.
In a certain family there is much
rejoicing. Father has $40 left from his
salary Now the question is. who is
going to get that ten" for Christmas
gifts? His wife, his daughter. and his
son claim it. He says its the same
old Christmas for father, so I'll let
them all have part of it."
| Then his wife wanted TO know how
it was that he had SO much money
left after he had bought his suit. He
quickly told her that he had it figured
out this way: What tailor win make
| You a suit or overcoat for less than
/ s25? What merchant will take suit
or overcoat off his shelf unless he ask
s25 for it?
Now he had friend tell him about
the good looking suit he had on. 1t
came from the Scottish Wooden Mills
on North First avenue. He found, and
| so will you, that suits and overcoats
are made to measure and tailored
right, latest styles, best fabrics and
workmanship. and the price asked Is
only $15. Never more than that.
When you buy suit or overcoat at
the Scottish Wooden Mills you are as
sured satisfaction, and it's because
| they want you as customer always.
They are making suits and overcoats
for many of the best dressers in this
city, and it will save you many a $40
bill if you call on them.
Mr.. H. L. Reynolds is the local
manager. and is always more than
pleased to show you the large line Of
woolens that is displayed. He will
also explain to YOU about the Scottish
Wooden Mills dealing directly with the
wooden mills. and why the price Of a
suit or oyercoat should never be more
than SIS. Getting acquainted with him
| will show YOU a way to save a bank
account on your tailor's bill.-Adver:

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

A Letter to the Parents of Boys;
The vacation time of year is at
hand. School has closed and your
boy demands an answer to his ques-
tions as to what he is to do now.
Are you going to keep him at
work? If so, you have solved a part
of the problem. Your boy is bound
to have a vacation. He will take it
in one form or other. The great
moral question confronting us is:
How to make boys leisure a bene-
tit instead of a detriment 1t is the
period of relaxation that works mis-
chief
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is not in the business of en-
tertaining boys We are going to
hold camp at Crystal Lake, June
30-July 8, to assist you in providing
good wholesome outing for your
boy. The boys will have splendid
good time but it will be profitable
too, or it is a failure
A camp is failure and worse than
none unless there are strong leaders
controlling it, The moral discipline
is of wonderful value and the lack of
it, where one man goes out with
fifteen or twenty boys, is liable to
work untold injury.
The Y. NJ. c. A. does not conduct
all the good camps that are held,
but it has a system of supervision
that makes their camps of unusual
value. If you arc interested in your
boys outing, drop line to the Y. NJ.
{. A. and tell us about it,
