all be men of affairs, but we should
take time to learn little sum in ad-

I read the following in newspaper
the other day and 1 want to commend
it to some of the young men who are
throwing their substance away in
riotous living. Think Of prince be-
ing allowed only that amount as
spending money, That was more than
l had when I went to college but l
went to get an education. That IS
not the main purpose now with some
boys and girls and if they had only
s1.25 to spend per week they would
stay at home:
Has SIPS a Week to Spend.
The amount allotted to the Prince
of Wales for pocket money has just
become known. Every Saturday he
receives just s1.25, which he terms
his old-age pension. He is occasion
ally a rrife extravagant and mort
cages his money in advance.
Toward the end of the last term at
Oxford he was asked by friend to
join party to visit the theatre. 1t
should be explained that when a friend
are invited in this way at the univer-
sity, it is an understood thing that
each pays his own expenses. The
princes reply was Sorry, old man,
but l am clean broke
''Why don't you write home for
some more?" asked the friend.
"I did," replied the prince, "but
mother said was too extravagant,
and refused to allow me to have any

I said something about the old court
house building in my last notes. And
1 am not going to criticize any one,
for the work is such great improve

a. little curiosity to know who select
ed the combination of colors as to
the painting. That's all. The grass
and, such an Improvement, 1 know
and everything is lovely. And to
keep pace with the march of improve
rnent the grass was being moved at
the court house lawn. If Mr.. Hill
or Mr.. Crotwell or whoever has au-
thority would just close up that wag-
on road alongside the Crotwell hotel
it would greatly add to the appear
ance of things and would inconven-

thing at once and must be satisfied
| and thankful for what we receive.
I noticed the other day when 1 was
down town that the work of paving
Friend street was going merrily on
and such an improvement I know
every one lis wondering why it was
not done long ago. 1t is always so
with any needed improvement. The
kickers wonder why they kicked. The
surroundings at the postoff1ce are
greatly improved, and am pleased to
