The Grocery Game.

At least eight players are necessary
to play grocery game" These are
seated in a circle. and one of the play

in the middle gives each one in the

purchased at the grocery. Then, stand

A House Of Cards Fallen.

The more the Clafin failure is
studied, the clearer grows the
Indictment of the business sys-
tenn which the concern represent
ed. There was no reason inner
ent in present trade conditions
for such a collapse. Money has
been cheap for months, and the
banks have had a great abun-
dance to loan on good CONNER
cial paper. To say that con-
Germ must go into bankruptcy
because trade slackens is to say
that a slackening to trade must
send all enterprises into bank
ruptcy. and that business is en-
titled to be considered merely a
fair weather proposition, with
no obligations to organize itself
so as to ride out the usual storms
of each business generation.
Here was a concern that was
universally recognized as the
greatest in its line, with a re.
markable prestige, and assumed
to enjoy the best of manage.
ment. Yet, in commenting on
the failure, the New York Times
which is par excellence the bus
mess mans organ, remarks:
ct is a house of cards which
has fallen" AS trade combi-
nation, with "chains" of stores
scattered over the country, it
went ballooning in as crazy a
way as one often reads about.

Pertinent Philosophy.

When a man kills another man
it is because he hates him. But
when a woman kills a man it is
because she loves him.
Some widows stop wearing
mourning at the end of the year.
Others keep it on un4il the men
be in to show signs of interest.
A good poker player may also
be described as one who can play
his cards without reference to
the height of the stack of chips
in front of him.
Men are not born free and
equal, and the theory that one
man is as good as another is fal.
lacious.
You are too free with your
money if any of it goes toward
the support of a prophet.
If a man succeeds they say he
is lucky dog. If he fails they
say he is worthless and ineffi-
cient.
Anybody can pitch with two
down and nobody on. But when
the babies are full and nobody is
down, the gentleman with a
lump in his thoat is disqualified.
1t is true that when a man
dies he can't take any of it with
him, but he had it while he was
here.
Women excel men in the re-
spect that they go to the devil
quicker, once they make a start.
Give a woman a chance to get
into it and she is willing to over
look the shortcomings of society.

Saving the Waste.

for general excellence in her

A thick, rich vegetable soup is
one of the most nourishing foods,
especially for children, and the
watchful housewife and mother
will insist that the butcher "send

and pays for, with her meat, but
often leaves to be sold again by
the thrifty shopman, and will

Bankers Agree,

THAT prospects for the early
quickening of business are good
is the opinion also of prominent
Detroit bankers. An official of
one of the largest of the COM
merciaI banks stated Thursday:
The easy money market is a
great encouragement to enter
prise. When money is cheap
business is likely to pick up very
quickly.
This is the usual dull season
for the automobile business and
all other business, TOO, said Vice
President Keena. of the Peoples
State Bank.
Toward the latter part of
August it usually picks up rapid
ly and is in full swing by Sep
TENDER. We have had a brisk
demand for money all the year.
and if anything, this has increas-
ed during the last few days.
"Other bankers asserted that
the demand for money had been
brisk all during the spring, and
some expressed a hope that Con-
gress would either adjourn or
dispose of the business legisla-
ton now before it, in a short
time. The sentiment was gen.
eral that business will become
very brisk whenever the laws of
the country become certain"

Things we Think.

1
The hen that lays over 300 eggs
a year doesn't waste any time
counting her chickens before
they are Matched.
You can no longer part your
hair after you have parted with
it.
We are more likely to favor
new tangled ideas and reforms
if they work our way.
No business man is a success,
no matter how large his dividends
unless he is a success in his own
home.
It's funny that we often have
to accept favors from people
whom it is distasteful while
those who owe us neglect to
come across.
When money gets so tight that
no one will buy gold bricks, then
hard times will surely be upon
us.
Hetty Green seems as niue h
out of place in a $40 a month
fiat as some other people we
know-but not for the same rea-
son.
Our elections under primary
election laws and such like come
so often that they should be seq
regated to a certain portion of
the year the same as baseball
and foot bali. We could then
give them our undivided atten-
ton in the same way that we do
other sports.
Some men have a dread of
making a lot of money and leav-
ing it for some man who mar
ries the widow.
A person who is always max
ing a show of his superior wis
dom is ignorant of the common
est courtesy.
The greatest amount of char
ity is not always shown by the
giving of money.
Some folks do a favor in a way
that makes you feel that they
are going to hold it up against
you.
A two-cent stamp will carry a
letter across one ocean, but
there is no limit to the distance
stamp of approval will carry
anything.
About as embarrassing posi-
ton as can be imagined for a
young man is to be walking
down some shady lane with his
sweetheart and come face to
face with the young lady he was
billing and cooling the night be-
fore.

Poor Boy and His Chance.

himself, and not the conditions
surrounding his birth, what he
will be when he arrives at mans
estate.
Almost every sketch of life of
a rich business man who has
died in recent years reveals the
fact that he started life a poor
boy.
Andrew Carnegie thought that
he was on the road to riches
when he received 81 a week and
walked five miles to borrow
books from a friend to read.
Abraham Lincoln and James
A. Garfield, who became presi-
dents of the United States, be-
gan life under the most impov-
erished circumstances.
An endless list of men great
in science; in religion, in art, in
finance, in law, in fact every
profession, can be traced to boys
who had to struggle with power
ty in their early school days.
Because boy is born of mon
eyless parents is no reason he
may not die a man of influence
and wealth.
Usually fortunes thus obtain
ed have a double value because
the possessor knows the pangs
of poverty and can fully appre-
ciate what a struggle was nee
essary before independence be-
came assured.
A poor boy to-day has as much
of a chance, if not better one,
than the boy had 60 or 70 years
ago. The great men. who are
now passing out of life look back
to the time when they were boys
and are impressed with the
brighter opportunities the poor
boy has today.
Somewhere there is a chance
for every young, energetic and
ambitious boy. He will not find
that chance by idling away his
time in bad company or by rely
ing upon his parents to support
him. All young idlers should
brace up. become ambitious and
20 where their labor is wanted.
This should be remembered
above all things. The poor boy
has the same opportunity of
reaching the glided goal that
the son of a rich man has if he
will but apply himself. Rich
mems sons rarely succeed in af-
ter life. Boys of luxury have
stilled the struggle of ambition
in youth which is the founda-
ton of success. This is not true
in every case, but it is too fire.
quently noted.
The world is open for the poor
boy He must fight his way.
He must struggle to win.

Evolution of the Dollar Sign.

The abbreviatiOn "Ps," to signify Pc
SOS, was the origin of the American
dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When America
was first settled the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for
the trade of the world. The word dol
lar is but a corruption of the Dutch
"thaler' or ''thaller." coin much used
in commerce at that period and which
superseded the 'pieces of eight" Of
Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster,
which was the Spanish name for the
pieces Of eight" was worth approx
mately the same as the thaller, and as
the Dutch name was easier to say it
found a place in our language in the
corrupted form. while the abbreviatioD
for the peso remained as the sole re-
hinder of the Spanish mintage in our
financial records.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Why He Wanted the Coat.

When the cruiser Boston went into
action in the battle Of Manila Bay one
Of the powder boys took Off his coat
hurriedly, and it went over the rail
into the water. He turned to the near
est officer and asked permission to
jump overheard and recover it.
Naturally the request was refused.
so the boy went to the other side of
the ship. climbed down the ladder,
swan around to where the coat was
floating and came back with it.
The action was noticed, and the Off
Ger ordered him put in the brig.
After the battle the boy was court
martialed and found guilty Of disObe-
dience Of orders. and he made no de-
tense.
Being in command of the fleet, Com
modore Dewey had to review the find
ings Of the court. He sent for the lad
and asked him in a kindly way why
he had risked punishment for an old
coat.
The boy broke into tears and ex-
planned that his mothers picture was
in the coat pocket and he could not
bear to lose 1t.
The gallant commodore fairly picked
the boy up in his arms and then or
dered him to be instantly released and
pardOned.
"BOys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for their pictures
cannot be imprisoned on this feet" he
said.
