'Biest be the spot Where icneerful

Blest that abode, where want and

And every stranger finds a ready

Where all the ruddy family around
laugh at the iekts or pFanKs that

Or sigh with pity at some tale;
Or press the baahfnl stranger to his

And learn the luxury OF doing good

PUT HIS OWN MONEY IN.

Before the passage of the present
strict banking laws in Wisconsin,
starting bank was comparatively
simple proposition. The surprisingly
small amount of capital needed is
well illustrated by the story a pros
porous country town banker told on
himself when asked how he happened
to enter the banking business.
SWELL" he said, 81 didn't have
much else to do, so l rented an
empty store building and painted
"Bank" on the window. The first
day was open for business a man
came in and deposited 500 with me /;
the second day another man dropped
in and deposited $3.50, and so, by
George, along about the third day l
got confidence enough in the bank to
put in hundred myself" Every

Railroad Clerk, Instead Of Being Rs-
warded for Returning Lost Pure,
10 Asked for Interest

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was a Scotsman.
Last year. when journeying to the
country on an important errand, he
left his purse. containing nearly $500
In gold and silver. at the railway sta
ton from which he started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept till his
return a month later.
II was young clerk who handed
Jockie Mac f. his wee purse with
the "spondies" as he set foot out Of
the train. and certain wild hopes were
making that young mans heart beat a
trifie unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding. and when he'd fin
ished he looked up long and suspt
ciously at the young man.
Isn't 1t right, sir?" stammered the
latter. In bewilderment
"Richt-richt! It's RIGHT enough.
but where's the interest. mon?" was

LITTLE LETTER MEANT MUCH

gram Cost Sender Neat Little
Sum Of Money.

Shakespeare has told us that there
is much virtue in an 'if.'". But if
he had lived in the twentieth instead
of the sixteenth century, he would
have realized there is much more vir-
tue-or, at any rate, value-in the
letter IF alone, and for this reason :

large stock of goods on hand for

cash.
The agent wired to his principal
as to what discount he would allow
to clear the stock, and the reply sent
by telegram was ''You can sell for a
third off the original price" But
the careless telegraphist left out the
second IF" in the word "off," so that
the telegram read, "You can sell for

The agent did so, and succeeded
in losing for his principal some
$4,000 of actual cash upon the trans

Little Incident That Made Mother
Realize Her ssrtorisI Appearances
Wac Not impressive.

A careful mother, whose baby had
fallen asleep in his carriage in the
park, found in seeking to make him
comfortable that the sun was shin
ing from one direction and cold
wind blowing from another. After
careful consideration and numerous
turnings, she decided to risk his
tightly closed eyes to little sunshine
rather than to expose him to the
chilly breeze.
al don't know who your mistress
is" it said, "but L shall make it my
business to find out and report you
to her. The idea of your risking
that baby's eyes in that sunshine
l am a doctors wife"
Several times did the careful
mother attempt vainly to interrupt
and explain. Then-"I am grateful
for your interest, madam" she said,
"and 1 happen to be the child's
mother. Also, l am a doctors wife
and nurse as WE'LL"
AS the stern voice moved on she
turned to another careful mother on
the bench.
81 knew this coat was DID," she
said, "but do look as bad as that ?"

EVOLVE NEW PLAN
 FOR "BIG BUSINESS'
Congressional Committee Is Laying Ground Work for Supervision by
 II. s. Government.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The new plan of the new congressional trust legislative committee, for financial control of interstate business is to restrict government supervision and espionage to "big business"
 The federal trade commission is to be given trade authority over only such business concerns as shall have an aggregate annual gross revenue of $3,0O0,O0O. Smaller business concerns are to be exempt from government su- pervision.
 The House Judiciary Committee is completing it's draft of the anti-hold- ing company bill. This bill, too, is to be limited to it's restrictions to such corporations as shall seem to the committee dangerous to competition and in restraint of trade. Holding companies to be prohibited by law are to be classified with respect to the geographic extent of their sphere ot activities.
 An important feature of this bill will be the provision making direct ors personally responsible for the actions of corporations. The purpose of the law will be to do away with dummy" directors.

No less a person than Rabbi Witt of Little Rock last week chose this motion picture caption as his theme, and declared that such brought nearer a single standard of morals for men and women.
 It's photoplay which is produc- tive of thought, as we'll as of interest, and one which despite a title which same may glance askance at, does not reveal a plot and action that will offend. A board of censors passed upon it, it was weighed in the bal ance of opinion and was not found lacking.

LENTEN SERVICES
 AT TRINITY CHURCH.

Ash Wednesday, 10:30 a. m. and 7:45 D. m. Every other day this week 400 D. m. Commencing with rext week and for the rest of the season exclusive of Good Friday 1T 100 III. Ministers from out of town have been invited to preach a. these night services.
 The observance of Lent is based on the principle that Christ taught by practice as well as by precep7. Not only did He say When the br.de- groom is taken away shall my dis ciples fast" but He prefaced His Er5- lie ministry by a forty day fast ill the wilderness. AS in sodoing He fol- lowed the examples of Moses and Elijah, nearly nine-tentils of the of like duration of self discipline and special religious culture. The Chris tian period is not continuous as the Sundays are excluded in houor of Christ's resurrection. Sunday has al- ways been regardeded as festival Like every other season of the church year Lent is a development. Just how far back the forty day observance goes can not be precisely stated. The Council of Nicea, 325 A. D., leal' with it as then existing custom. But the time arrangement now followed dates back to the time of Gregory the Great, or to the latter part of the 9th century. Every branch of the Catholic church the Roman, the East ern, and the Anglican, ots erves 1t. Among the Protestant bodies the Lutheran accepts it. It s gainin2 2 rather than losing in favor IS tLs years pass and, in several ,>f the larg- CT Protestant bodies, may b. foun>1 congregations who give it place
 The indications are that 1t viii ulfi- mately have universal observance. The Anglican Communion, pr he Episcopal, does not enforce its Ob- servance under penalty. AS t is le- signed for spiritual improvement wf think it bett Ter that men should en- ter into the keeping of it voluntarial- ly. But it's observance is st1eLglS urged upon the people because it: value has be en proved. >,f course ] men who are indifferent, 10 the ] Church's calls in other matters dc not give much thought to Lent. Yet

in this instance, they violate ro Cs- sental law. They simp,y wt,'lold from themselves a good they might have and refuse a discipline which would prove very us eful in enabling them to withstand temptation.
 Neither does the Anglican Com munion lay down detailed rules There are certain forms of abstinence which are urged for the greatest good of the greatest number. (This is the same principle on which the observance of a common W eekly holy day rests).
 Thus, it is requested that there be a general cessation of secular amuse- ments. This is in order that time may be redeemed for matters of higher importance. But into the minor details we do not intrude Each individual should be free, we think, to decide just what form of discipline is best suited to his Chris tian growth and just what sacrifices will best show his regard for the great sacrifice made by Christ for him. This is not saying, however that many of the detailed II regulations made by other communions are not good nor worthy of emulation. In fact many Episcoplians conform to them and find them valuable. Sug. gestions of this kind are frequently made from tn he pulpit. But they are given for the purpose of guiding peo- pie in their decisions. They are not mandatory.
 The word Lent is from the old English. It means Spring. It prob abably was appropriated as the names because the fast occurs in this season of the year. The Greek name l was Tessarakoste and the Latin Qua drag glasima each of which means the same thing, or forty days, and simply refers to the duration of the fast. H. A. STOWELI.
