WATCH YOUR STEP!
Buying Men.
by The Conductor.

'T got a buddy that's a detective. lies in one of tn hotels They call him tn house man. but he's sure enough detective. He's got star, an if he'd arrest you it'd be tn same as if cop would. He's on his job night times. Him an mes got tn same room. Only he sleeps in it after I've gone to work. That fellows smarter'n a steel trap. Lizzie don't like him. She got peeved at him one night when we was all eatin' together an Danny said Oanny Lynch, that's his name) every man has his price. He said he knowed it. cause he'd bought lots of 'em l didn't get mad at him like Lizzie did. He didn't mean 1t tn way she took it. You see, he's just like a fellow workin' all tn time in the stockyards. He couldn't smell 8 bou- quet if you soaked it in hair oil. You know a good bird dog runs around with his nose to tn ground all tn time loekin' for bird tracks. That's Danny. If a bird dog'd run into a bunch O singin' eanaries am flush lem an you wouldn't shoot their yell 1 low heads off, that dog'd quit you for a coward. Lizzie says to him, Dan, you got a evil mind. I'd hate to think ain't got his. Have you, Jerry" An 1 says, 'No no, I ain't. Not since l knowed you. You got me bought and paid for. I'd swim the river for you Danny laughed so hard he choked an he says There, I told you every man had his price, An Lizzie says right out loud so's everybody heard it, That ain't what price means. Price means l that somebody can get you if they offer more. An nobody can get Jerry away from me- Lizzie's right. She ain't got no price. She's got cop per rivet cinch.
 Stand back an let em off
 Don't stand on tn platform!
 Watch your step!"

(Written Specially for The Bulletin) What do you do te pass away the time - was said in my hearing the other day. The laughing response was It passes altogether too fast for me. sometimes wish it would go more
 slowly, and I feel like setting back the hands of the c1ock.''
 Well" reJoined she first speaker, T
 don't see how you are so busy. Your family is the same in number as mine, and your rooms are much the same in
 arrangement. I have joined the neigh
 borhood whist club to fill up my time,
 but 1 understand you declined to do so."
 Yes, did" said her friend, flor my noon whist. You probably work more rapidly than l. The care of my rooms, preparation of meals, and the neces- sary sewing demanded in making new garments and repairing old ones keep
 me quite busy all the day. MT. Rey-
 the evening or on a holiday with the children for some outing and I find
 more recreation in that than I should
 in afternoon bridge"
 "Oh, well" said Mrs. Gaynor the
 first speaker. T won't be a slave to
 my housework. I have the baker fur
 nish me bread and most of my desserts
 and l seldom do my sewing. Such
 stylish things can be bought nowadays
 for so little money that it does not pay to make and repair. James grumbles
 sometimes at the size of our bills, and
 often tells me that MT. Reynolds
 spends less than he does. but I cannot
 help that. I mean to take pleasure in
 life as l go along instead of Skimping
 myself now to provide for old age
 which may never come"
 That may be good way. but we
 xirarr -1-z wares, and the difference in the cost of
 our clothes pays me for making them
 for myself and the girls. I can get better material for them, and am bet ter suited in the style of garments. Then John and l hope to have a home
 of our own some day. We are sure of being happier if so placed, and for the children's sake are desirous of be-
 ing somewhere else than in flat with no outside room.''
 All right replied her guest as she rose to go, everyone to her liking. My way seems best to me. For pity's sake! see that great rent in my sleeve! Why I bought this waist this season, and it has been laundered only twice. I de- , clare, they do make garments so i f1imsily nowadays. but 1 got this at a cheap sale, and it was a great bargain '
 and she took her departure, leaving Mrs. Reynolds free to return to heI
 work of making a shirtwaist for her self. As she turned toward her ma chine she thought: "EIl warrant this waist will launder more than twice
 and outwear more than two of her bar
 gains, and it cost me less beside" Not long afterwards MT Gaynor or coming home to dinner said to his wife: T saw John Reynolds today and I think he is a lucky fellow. They are to take possession soon of one of those new cottages in Mills place Well, ol6 fellow I said, you are to be congratu- lated. You will have to patronize the | trolley after this, as well as l. so vel meet more frequently than in the past. T mean to walk to my work re- piled he. It is only little more thar ! mile. and will give me much-needeG
 exercise. I have been better since | began to walk more.'"

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Art of Resting.

We are making our lives one sided in allowing them to be too fully oc- cupied with the external activities. Too much occupied they cannot be, in the true sense of occupying filling, employing, satisfying; but we ought to learn the blessedness { of occupied leisure the deep music of silence, the pictures to be imaged in darkness. We must not be dominated by the ob- Vious the seen and the heard.
 An idle mind is possible with busy hands; so often this is forgotten We may do many things and accomplish little, simply because the activity IS skin deep, outward, superficial We want rest for our attainments to sink in, to gather our harvest understand and sift it. We may see too much to see anything clearly, hear too much to really listen: with much hastening we do not always arrive.
 To do things well we must some times think of what we are doing It is not enough to trust to impulse; good impulse itself is best fostered by quiet thinking.
 Let us study the art of resting. that we may the more truly work and do.

Opposites. s.

You can measure wall or a carpet with a yardstick; you cannot measure the lightning.
 You can cast a plumbline down a pit or fathom the oceans depth, but you cannot tell how deep is the grief of a mother with her dead child in her lap.
 You can set a value in dollars and star, but there are no lenses or ioga- rithns by which to estimate the joy of two lovers. You can analyze water earth or gases. and determine their constituent parts, but you cannot get at the elements that compose inno- cense. conscience or remorse.
 To can set a value in dollars and cents upon the services of a salesman or a bricklayer but you cannot even approximate the value of an act of unselfish helpfulness.

 One of our exchanges, speaking of the railroads and the difficulties con fronting them, is moved to say that railroads must make improvements out of earnings and let their stock holders go without dividends-in other words, make thousands of stockholders who are dependent upon their divi- dends for their support, go hungry.

 WITH q THE MAKER 7

In years gone by it used to be
 that a manufacturers responsi-
 bi1ity for the things he made
 stopped with the sale of them.
 But that is no longer so. We
 are living in an age of progress
 i've and efficient business ha1ild-
 ing.
 Manufacturers no longer con-
 slider the signing of an opder from reputable retailer as :tf1e climax of their interest ands eff fort. And, what is more, the progressive merchants do not feel that they are, good business men unless they have agreed upon and put into practice some arrangement whereby both the manufacturer and the retailer unite in the enlargement of the article in question. By this kind off arrangement retailers offer theirapatrons two- fold evidence of quality and re- hability-a double responsibility that spells safety totthe prudent buyer.
 And the manufacturer who wants to help his dealers, uses local newspapers to bring GUS toners to the retail counter to ask for his product, Dealers and manufacturers in- terested in local advertising for national products are invited to write to the BUREAU OF AD- VERTISING.

The man who strives to avoid fric- tion in this world has good sense. Friction isn't really necessary in the every day affairs of life It puts a nothing to the efficiency or capacity of the individual. Some people chafe over trifies-fume and fuss and scold about the smallest affairs, not because it helps anything forward, but be- cause it relieves a discontented spirit. Discontentment can chase cheerful ness out of the heart and put wrinkles in the face and turn down the corners of the mouth in short or der. It hangs a grouch label on all it's victims. It is as easy to radiate sunshine as gloom; and forty times as profitable. Resentment was not de- signed for every day use. Its place in life is like the high light in art-a very little of it produces the required effect

Do you ever connect age and light? When you look up at the stars you see she light of the stars not the stars
 When we look at the sun, our star, 93,000,000 miles away. we see our daily light, and come the nearest we ever shall to seeing a star. All other so- called stars are light points from
 three years to forty years old When it comes to stars, forty light years away with the light travelling at the rate of 1000 miles a second, we can
 not comprehend the distance any more than we can understand what eternity means The nearest little star that
 wrinkles in the sky tonight began to l twinkle for us in 1910 and it's twinkle is three years old. And the twinkling stars represent light of different ages. Light forty years old is the oldest we have learned of-older than the aver age age of man.
