ECONOMY IN WARTIME
MR.. GWILLklMBY FINALLY GETS
DOWN TO BEDROCK.
All Iuxuries and Few Of the Neces.
saries Being Cut Out, He Now
Buys Small Boys Watches
by the Gross.

1T didn't seem possible that this |
european war business could ever al |
fect our income in any way" said Mr..
in a way that we had never even
dreamed of; and then, like so many
other people, we were forced to econo-
mize.
"A man never can tell what he can
do till he has to, but then he can do
most anything. In our household ex-
penses we found many things that
we're really only Injuries that we could
lop off without suffering, and then we
went through what in fiusher days we
should have considered as necessaries
and cut down on them, finding among
even these things many that we could
do without; and lastly we cut the
things we had to have right down to
the bone.
With all these sacrifices, changes
and revisions we finally got our ex-
penses down on paper below our re-
duced income; but somehow, in actual
practice it didn't work out that way.
Instead of having as we now should
have, even on our smaller means. a
little surplus, we still had every week
a little shortage. 1t never struck me
where that leak was till one day it
came to me all of a sudden that | had
forgotten to figure into our expenses
he cost of our sons watches!
Our boy, like most boys at the
present time, carries a watch; but
loubt if any other boy on earth is as
lard on watches as our boy is. He
egulates his watch about seven times
/ day and sets it seventeen times
About twice a week he takes the back
md front off his watch, looks in at the
wheels and stirs them up little and
moves the hands.
Once in a while he takes the works
out of watch, but | have never vel
known him to put them back. Ere
quently he drops his watch, as likely
as not on the floor In one way anC
another he uses up two or three
watches a week, an average of ;
dozen a month; and whenever hi
broke his watch he would come to mi
for a new one and | would give hin
he money freely.
But, cheap as these watches are
we couldn't possibly do that mucl
= longer now; and the question wa
what should we do about it, for h

instead of singly, thereby making

tragedy in her life," he comment
ed. Il never saw a pair of eyes so
sorrowful."
He went about his pruning and
clipping and caring for the roses, but
Ninian's eyes haunted him. She
seemed still to be walking sorrowfully
around and around the outer side of
the fence.
So vivid was the girls picture in his
mind that he thought he was dream
ing of her the next day when. look
ing up, he saw her quite close beside
him, sitting on the old well at the
foot of the rose garden.
Her head was bowed in her arms
and Goodwin knew from the shaking
of her body that she was weeping
with complete abandonment to her
grief.
He hardly knew whether to go quiz
city away and let her have her cry
out or whether to attract her atten-
ton and do his best to comfort her.
His dog had solved the question
by going over to the weeping girl
and slipping his long, cool nose up
beneath her arms. Goodwin swal-
lowed the lump in his throat when
he saw the girls fingers draw the
dogs head close to her. Creature
comfort was instructive in the ami
NAL, but he himself had lacked the
initiative.
He coughed delicately and the
girl looked up. Her eyes were starry
and tear-wet. Goodwin knew that he
was going to fall in love with Ninian
and he worded his thoughts accord
ingly.
Please confide in me- he said
softly. Il will do anything in my
power to allay your suffering. Tel
me your troubles" He added thu
last word in so soothing voice tina
Ninian smiled through her tears. Sh'

INSCRIPTIONS at the Fair.

Students of monumental inscrip
tions must often have observed, with
the ordinary vice of inappropriate
ness, the want of variety of which
Wordsworth spoke in his Essay Upon
Epitaphs." Ranging from Whitman to
the Siamese Phra Ruang, there is no
such deficiency in those at the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition. But in seeking
variety does not the far West stultify
itself a bit. One series is harmlessly
historical concentrating the discov-
cry of Panama in 1901 by Bastides, its
crossing by Balboa. the discovery of
California and the founding of Mission
Dolores, and like events, The Court
of Four Seasons quotes merely Cali
fornian upon western nature, with
Spencer's we'll known characterization
of jolly summer and autumn all in
yellow clad. But in paying tribute to
great literary figures the exposition
does equal honor to six occidental an6
six oriental nations. If visitors are
moved by the beauty of the passages
from Kalidasa, Hitomaro, Zuhayr ant
Firdausi to make some further &C
quaintance with these writer's, Sar
Francisco w.ll have surpassed Chi
cago and st. Louis. To find a regior
so violently anti-Asiatic as the Pacific
coast inscribing on its walls JAPANESE
lays and Chinese philosophy is new
evidence of the potency of cosmopoli
tanism
