paying dividends in 1915 have paid dividends since their

into the business was to have a car, new or second hand,
know how to run it properly, obtain a license to carry
passengers and then join the jitneys and have a route as
signed to you. Passengers would crop up a-plenty.
In some instances the gross receipts of a jitney for a
day exceeded SEQ. In the case of the women drivers, after
paying for gasoline, signs, luncheons, ETC., the net receipts
were $II a day.
The west and southwest are wonderful in the rapidity
with which they take up a new idea that hits their fancy.
The jitney may be merely one of those spasms with which
the restless American gives evidence of his discomfort
with something he has to employ, but which does not meet
his full needs, or it may develop into something that will

the previous record of OLAF tons in 1912, the values for
the two years being $2o.7Io,Sooa and S2oo45.52o respective

pelinhta nf Camel Riding.

It was my first experience OF camel
riding and therefore interesting if not
altogether charming. The saddles used
on this journey were formed of large
pads, one in front and one behind the
hump. The driver climbs into place
in front, with a huge peaked pad to
keep him from falling off when the
camel rises. Then the passenger
mounts behind the hump, and the cam
ell is with difficulty persuaded to rise.
This he does hind quarters first. and
the passenger finds himself thrust up
in midair as if on q tower. The huge
pad offers no possible support, and he
can scarcely overcome his desire to
prevent fall by putting his feet on
the drivers shoulders. That worthy,
however soon comes up to join him,
and the expedition starts. The first
sensation is of being astride table,
and as the miles go by the table in
creases alarmingly in width. and the
tyro on the back scat begins to despair
of ever getting his legs acquainted

June and Matrimony.

The first people to adopt the month
of June as sacred to Hymen, the god of
marriage, were the ancient Romans,
who considered June the most prOpi-
tiOuS season of the year for entering
upon matrimonial relations. The RO-
mans held that June weddings were
likely to be happier than alliances con-
tracted in any other month of the year.
especially if the day chosen were that
of the full moon or the conjunction of
the sun and moon. They also held
that of all months May was to be most
avoided, as in that month newlyweds
would come under the influence of spir-
its adverse 20 happy households. These
ancient marriage superstitions were re-
tanned by the Christians in the middle
ages, and even today June is consid-
cred by many to be -eminently the
month of marriages. - Pittsburgh

Discomfort.

Success is Il disease. if the reason
ing of those who give the identical def
milton for poverty is to be followed.
An excellent preventive is idleness or
inertia; another is satisfaction. Find
the man who is satisfied and you need
look no further for human putty. Con-
tent breeds Indias and Chinas. Dis
content sends MayfOwers across oceans
not the suIlen discomfort that does
nothing, but the discomfort that mani
tests itself in striving to better con-
ditiOns, the discomfort that means hard
work and plenty of it. Some firms are
so cOntented with the volume of bust
ness they have that they do nothing to
increase it. But the discontinued COM
petitOr is doing something, as the first
firm generally finds out before going
into bankruptcy. You go ahead or you
