planned, had come the good will"
Il hope this good WILL" said the

There are girls who boast that their
sweethearts are too fond of them to
be stingy with them-that they are
constantly showing by costly gifts that
they are never out Of their mind.
Prudent people know that this might
do for a man who has wealth, but for
the lover depending or q modest salary
there Is a note Of warning for the girl
in the case. She may appreciate his
fondness and anxiety to please her, but
she should also realize there is a very
essential quality lacking in his makeup

tually, however, the borrower Is met
when asking for another loan with the
response: I'm sorry, my dear friend,
to refuse, but l was just about to ask
you to pay back the last amount 1 let
you have" AS If by one accord he
finds the same state Of affairs wher-
ever he turns. He has gotten into the
rut or spending money. He loses his
the little home. The wife comes vail
antly to the fore; takes a position to

When a man accepts this situation

then trouble is sure to begin to brew,

to be temporary.

Buzzard Carries off Doa.

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry off almost
anything from a man to cat, but
he first instance known when a buz-
zard carried off a dog was witnessed
on a recent afternoon. The incident
happened a few miles from Bessemer.
A very brave little fox terrier was
e~ndeavoring to chase off a large buzz
lard that had alighted on the ground.
He only succeeded in making the
buzzard fly close to the ground for a
short distance. The buzzard stopped
on a short stump and waited for the
dog, which came barking around the
root Of the stump.
The buzzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump, seized the
dog In its mouth and claws, and flew
to a thicket near by.-Birmingham
