rnR SHOPPING BAG.
The articles boys stow away
In trousers pockets, / must say,
Are many and diversified:
But, geel they'e nothing put beside
Those found when, hunting Fido's tag,
emptied sisters shopping bag!
A card case, coin purse, barette.
A handkerchief, yard Of net,
A drinking cup, collar stay,
A ticket TO the matinee,
A comb, brush, powder rag
All these in sisters shopping bag!
Some .'violet talcum' In a can,
A kodak picture of man,
A looking glass, a calling list,
The latest "fsules for Playing Whist"
A clipped ouaioke from some smart wag-
All these in sisters shopping bagi
A crochet needle, spool and lace;
A letter from her school chum, Grace;
A little manicuring set,
Three postage stamps, novelette,,
A safety pin, small silk flag
All these in sisters shopping bagl
A bow.of velvet and two wings,
A channels .poekes" full of rings,
A stick of gum. bit.of.soap,
Free samples Of complexion dope.
Some tissue that win mend a snag-
All this in sisters shopping bag!
And any boy whose sister prizes
Into his pockets and then cries:
my goodness, brud, see what I've found
How can you pack all this arounds"
Should say: "Aw..that's no load to drag
Just think what's in your shopping bagl"

1t is the Man That Counts

Mr.. Morgan-TIe might have that
view, but he would not have the
money. If he had the credit and I
had the money, his customer would
be badly off. Money cannot be con-
trolled. Many men have great credit
who have no money.
Mr.. Untermyer-Is not that be
cause il is believed they have money
back Of them?
Mr.. Morgan--No, sir; 1t is because
people believe in the man. have
known a man to come into my office,
and have given him a check for ST.
100000 when knew he had not a
cent in the world.
Why did N1r. Morgan, knowing that
that man had nothing, hand over to
him his check for 100000?
The answer is simple. He knew the
man. The man had an idea OF some
kind worth backing. Mr.. Morgan did
what is done every day in the busr
ness world. or coure it is not often
done on so large scale, but the prin-
ciple is the same
A man With an idea comes to a
man with money. The man with the
money knows the man with the idea
knows his character and ability
There is no control or compulsion
OF any kind. The man with the idea
gets the money because the man who
has it sees that the idea is worth
while-that it is a profitable idea to
back. And he knows the man.
With the real masters of business
it is invariably the man who counts
first and most. We know a man in
western state who has a property
in hands capable of very great and
profitable development. But he fail
ed within the last six months to ges
the additional capital needed to de-
yelop 1T.
Everything was ready, but the man
was known to be so eccentric, can
tankerous and unreliable that nobody
would go into the deal unless he
would get out altogether would con
sent to have no voice whateyeriin the
development
It is the man who gives life in
profitable work to money. It Is the
man who gets credit, If he is that
kind OF man, whether he has any
money or not. It is the man that
counts.

The Paterson ON. j. Guardian Of
December 90, makes the following
reference and comment about the
commission form of government and
Its operation In Keokuk: The elect
i've commission plan of municipal gov
eminent was adopted by the city of
heokuk, Iowa, in 1909 When the
plan went into effect the city treas
ury was empty and there was float
ing debt equal to 20 per cent OF the
annual revenue of the city. After six
months of commission government,
the city began operating on cash
basis and the bonded indebtedness
was decreased by $4,000. More than
double the amount Of street improve
ments made in the corresponding six
months of the preceding year was
made, which for less than one-half Of
the results accomplished in the street
department this year for $11,5e0 the
city paid last year $4,000. 1t has been
the custom to borrow from $4,000 to
100000 to carry the city over" from
the beginning of the council year to
taxpaying time in August. On that
account the city would pay per cent
interest. This year the commission
ers did not borrow Instead of pay
ing interest they managed to keep a
cash balance In the city depository on
which the city realized interest.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: J. Pierponr
Morgan, In his testimony before the
PuJo committee on Thursday, stated
an important truth which great
many people seem wholly unable to
grasp. 1t Is the lack Of comprehen-
sion Of this truth on the part Of 80
many people that produces most OF

and which procures Thomas w. Law.

about a mysterious and wicked "sys-
TEN"
Mr.. Untermyer, counsel for the COM
mittee, was questioning Mr.. Morgan
about "control'' OF banks and their
resources. and SO OF credit. We ex-
tract some of Mr.. Untern1yer's ques-
tions and Mr. Morgan's answers that
are most directly to the point under
consideration:
Mr.. Untermyer-Suppose you own
ed all the banks. or controlled them,
and somebody wanted to start up in
the steel business against the United
States Steel corporation. and wanted
a vast amount of capital, New York
would be the natural market for
money?
Mr.. MorganYes.
Mr.. UntermyerIf you controlled
all those banks and competitor, or
a potential competitor. came along,
and it was good business PROPOSE
ton, would he get the money from
those banks you control?
Mr.. Morgan Yes, he would.
Mr.. Untermyer- Some other man
who might control might not take the
view you have.
Mr.. Morgan-He would not have
the control.
Mr.. Untermyer Assuming that
you had it, your idea is that when a
man abuses il he loses it?
Mr.. Morgan-Yes; and he never
gets it back again, either. What i
mean is this: The question of con
troll, in this country at least, is per-
sonal; that is. in money.
Mr.. Untermyer you had the
control Of all that represents the as
sets in the banks of New York you
would have the control Of money, OF
all that money?
Mr.. Morgan-No, you would not.
Mr.. Untermyer-Tf a man controll-
ed the credit of a country he would
have control af all its affairs?
