Show His Good Will.

TWO New York business men were
one day discussing the purchase by
one of them of a certain mercantile

planned, had come the good will"
i hope this good WILL, said the
friend, is greater than that OF the old
French farmer
I never heard the story"
Here 1t Is: The farmer was dying
n he sent for the notary to make out
the will. Propped up in bed, he die
tated:
To Jean Marcel, our superb Golf
feur, 10000 francs.
Il bequeath $4,000 francs to the
fearless Alphonse Rayard, that he may
continue his valuable aeronautical ex-
periments.

Using Up Horses In War.
FROM the wan Street Journal

It is one of the grim realities of war
that men are far cheaper than horses.
They can be more easily replaced. They
are not so costly to feed; nor does what
tney eat involve the bulk of transport
The horse is a commodity whose price
may be expected 10 advance In this coun-
try most rapidly. No doubt the buying
will be through private agencies, but the
destination will be the field of battle, and
the nation which commands the sea is
likely to have first pick.
When an advance is checked much ,s
said about the exhaustion of the men.
Exhaustion Of tie horses Is a far more
serious matter. because the men can soon
rest or be recruited, but the lost horses
can only be replaced at a costly expendi-
ture Of time. No doubt the motor is re-
spensible for much OF the traneportatfon

: THE PERSON UNAFRAID 4
TO SAY NO WILL PROSPER (

From tho Pictorial Review.

The young man or woman new In
the world Of business, faces an ever
increasing number of problems. Most
Of these come in the form of what
might be termed financial temptation.
in the average business concern
salaries are not made public. One man
can only guess shrewdly at what the
other man is earning. False pride often
makes the newcomer hide the
smallness Of the salary he is receiving.
Certain Of his fellow workers know this
weakness n play Upon it. They clev-
erly i%nsinuate that he Is drawing q
pretty big salary for a young fellow,
that he ought to buy cigars or take up
the lunch check or treat. And he lacks
the courage to say mo, he can't afford
It,"
They come around with a subscrip-
ton paper. The head Of the depart
ment is to be married. The foreman's
wife has died. They are getting up a
benefit for a fellow worker. The new
conner could spare so cents or % cents,
but the man who passes around the
subscription PROFESSIONALLY a self
seeking individual-hints that the boss
will see the paper, and no one wants
the reputation Of being a tightwad.
SO the young worker, who could not
afford more than a quarter an easy
and is Immediately stamped an easy
mark.
1t is mighty hard to deny the insinu-
ation-the f~lattery that you have mon
ey to spend, in an age when success
Is the most Offering Of golden calves
set up on the highest of pedestals.
Then to every young man Of small
income there is the girl question.
There is the girl down town working
at you elbow, who somehow or other
makes 1t seem almost discourteous not
to pay her car fare. Or she leaves
her lunch check where you can't very
well ignore it, or she lets you buy her
evening paper along with yours, or she
tells you about the dancing club she
Is organizing, You really don't care
anything about her, and she doesn't
care anything about you, out you hate
to let her spread the tale around the
office that you are stingy. And so she
gets more Of your salary than you can
really spare,
Their there's the other girl-the girl
on whom you'd gladly spend all that
you earn. If she's the right kind Of a
girl, she doesn't want you to do It.
If she's the wrong kind Of a girl, she
soon has you in debt to your tailor and
your landlady.
The best time to start saying mo"
IS the day that you start to work. You
will find that o can tear up a sal
acy envelope but you can't stretch It
Ten dollars will go no further next
week than this, so If you want a clear

Ruzzard Carries Of Doc

Eagles are said to be game enough
and strong enough to carry off almost
anything from a man to cat, but
the first instance known when a buzz
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
end%eavoring to chase off a large buzz
zard 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 he
dog, which came barking around he
root Of the stump.
The buzzard, seeing his chance,
jumped from the stump, seized the
dog in it's mouth and claws, and flew
to a thicket near by.-Birmingham
