| the number of automobiles per capita
one for every 25 people. Eighty per
cent of these are owned by farmers.
With some people the real question
is, can they afford not to have the car?
Many a farmer spends three or four
hours twice a week driving to town.
He could save the cost of an automo-
bile in the value of his own time.
The lack of the most ordinary me-
chanical skill makes the automobile
an extravaganza for many persons.
When people live on farms and in viii
lagos, they become familiar with tools.
They could easily perform all ordi-
nary repairs on an automobile
AS they move into larger cities and
acquire more social pretensions, they
call In the carpenter when the door
knob gets out of order They would
be helpless over the slightest irregu-
larity of an automobile They must
depend on the tender mercies of the
garage keeper and the repair man.
1t is very different proposition for
the man whose business runs in me-
chanical lines. or who keeps up the
habit of working with tools. The au-
'OAhoOiiS Sdie iuiiS teHueu on MS nome
place is probably cheaper than
horse
After all. it is a matter for the indi-
vidual to decide whether he ought to
invest in an automobile now or wait
till he has accomplished a little more
in the way of laying aside some per-
manent capital. but 1t ought to be
given serious consideration from ev-
cry viewpoint.

Cheyenne. wyo., Oct 80. - William
AveriH Hartman. son of the late E.
II. Hartman and director of half a
dozen banks. railroad official and heir
TO $4,000. 900, is spending the fall on a
handcar along the line Of the Union
Pacific in Wyoming and Colorado, serv-
ing as a section hand on one of the rail-
roads of which he is vice president.
Attired in blue overalls he is mixing
with the section men and the or
binary day labOrers along the line.
The identity of the slender young
man is kept from all except the two
or three engineers who are with
MIN; none of the workmen has the
least idea of II.
At noon Harriman's dinner lis
taken from a tin bucket, and he eats
il in company with his fellow labor
ers. To them he is simply Bib
and a cub engineer. who doesn't
know much about the business, but
IS learning.
While he is learning track con-
struction he spends a great deal of
time on an ordinary handcar going
very slowly over the right of way.
With him is an experienced con-
struction engineer. When they come

ing OF a piece of track the car Is
halted and the matter is explained
TO him. II there is a cut through a
particularly hard ledge OF stone he

all explained to him. And every day
he puts in some time in using an
axe. a pick. a shovel or n crowbar.
He has learned how to throw dirt

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY 7. D. MAC GREGoR.

Pride is oftentimes the parent
of extravaganza. Men and WONT
en- shrink from appearing less
prosperous than their neighbors.
Not only will they spend for their
backs what ought to have gone
into their stomachs, but they will
too readily make somebody else
foot the bill-that is, they will buy
what they cannot pay for, thus
robbing somebody else" - B. c.
Forbes.
1t is probably true that the increas
ing use of automobiles lessons the saw,
ings of the nation. Not only because
amounts which otherwise were set
aside as savings are now being used
in buying and maintaining automo
biles, but also because many a sum is
actually withdrawn from banks for
that purpose.
A financial writer says: Il think
the automobile craze is using up a lot
of money that would otherwise be in
savings banks for investment. A saw
ings bank president told me he had
recently had four different depositors
their money TO purchase au-
while another informed me
that he had three such eases recently.
and one party borrowed money to buy
an automobile and mortgaged his
place. The redeeming feature of the
situation lies in the fact that the auto
mobile is gradually passing from a
luxury to vehicle absolutely neces-
sary. especially in the country, to move
about and do business.

Did you ever consider the wearing
of glasses from an ornamental stand
point? No? Then l am not at all
surprised, for the way most of the

age observer to think it possible to
improve the looks, or even to wear
them without detracting from the ap-
pearance.
We are not expecting an influx of

FAMILY NEARLY CREMATE.
Inmates of Mr.. L. b. CannOn's Home
Have Narrow Escape.

Mr.. l.. B. Cannon, formerly of
Dawson, together with other mem
bers of his family, had a narrow es-
cape when their residence was acct
dentally set on fire in Richland a few
nights ago. The current issue of the
Richland News tells of it as fol-
lows:
Last Wednesday morning about 2
o'clock, as Conductor Davidson was
going to his work he discovered a
large blaze under the home Of Mr.. L..
B. Cannon and Immediately ran and
aroused Mr.. Cannon and his family
from their slumber and assisted them
in extinguishing the flames. A small
piece of coal or wood had ~oIled from
the CRATE on to the floor and set it
on fire. A large hole had burned
through the floor and allowed the fire
to fall under the house, which caused
the light by which Mr.. Davidson mad
discovered the flames. Had it not
been for the timely appearance of Mr..
Davidson it is probable that the home
would have been destroyed and pos
sibly Mr.. and Mrs. Cannon and their
children might have been seriously
burned, if not fatally; but as it was
only slight damage was done"
