Dill FERENT FROM OTHER DAYS

What man does not remember AZ one
OF the worries Of his Juvenile career the
continual call Of his elders to him TO
close the door
My, my, It seemed that life was one
long series OF closing doors, that life
was only one darn door after another.

in solemn and sepulchral, and alas. per

stead OF the imperative form, Johnny,
you haven't closed the door"
Oh, alasl oh, what a waste OF time.
What a bother to stop the body going

as is only put on when there is prospect
Of day by the "crick" with fishins

What waste OF energy TO stop the

old door and then get up speed again

DON'T Have TO Remember
But such was life in the days before
men turned their attention to making
doors that wouldn't have to be remem-
bered for closing.
It seems some Of these little "Johnnies
grew up with the determination to make
their life work that of overcoming this
defect in doors, And they succeeded
Nowadays doors close themselves That
is, great many of them do. And wher
ordinary doors had been thus trained t
the good habit of closing themselves
Johnny was SO pleased with the re
suit of his work that he turned his at
tention to other doors. He decided Il
make elevator doors close themselves
And he succeeded there, too.
The Castle hotel is equipped with thes,
self closing elevator doors. OF course, 1
is easy to see that it is more importan
to have an elevator door that will clost
itself than an ordinary door that will
close itself.
If the ordinary door remains open 1
does no more harm than letting in ,

The grocer's boy deposited a dollars
worth of sugar on the floor and Emmy
took it up and put it in the sugar pail
on the lower pantry shelf.
"You really shouldn't" said her hus-

Finally she logged the iron preserve
kettle to the sink for the last time and
went out for another pail of water.

gestion OF borrowing from Miss Tyrell

There was a last resource, but AL
bion hesitated for long time before
he was driven to employ 1t. This was
to mortgage the quaint old-fashioned
and not very valuable homestead in
the village that had been left to him

sacrilegious the day he affixed mis-
signature to a mortgage for one
thousand dollars, but there was no
way out OF it IL he expected to ex-
plot his formula.
Albion did not inform Miss Tyrell
OF his plans. He secured a leave OF
absence of a month from the works
and simply told her that he would
probably be absent most OF that time
in the city. She missed him before he
had been gone week. She wrote him
friendly letters showing that she ee'
teemed him, and they were sweet balm
to his anxious soul at the most try

ways of the professional promoter and
financier, was suddenly confronted
with worry and complication that
