DAVID STARR JORDAN;
 HIS IDEA OF THRIFT
Stanford University Head Says Stingi- ness Is an Abuse of
 Thrift.

Chancellor David Starr Jordan, of Stanford university, defined thrift as "a determination to live with a mar gin for future advancement: to earn a little more than one spends or to spend little less than one earns, getting meanwhile the value in strength, in satisfaction or in other worthy return for the money one feels free to spend"
 'The spirit of thrift" he said, "is opposed to waste on the one hand and to recklessness on the other. It does not involve stinginess, which is an abuse of thrift, nor does it require that each item of savings should be a financial investment. The money that is spent in the education of ones self or of ones family, in travel, in music, in art, or in helpfulness to others, if it brings real returns in personal development or in better understanding of the world we live in, is in accordance with the spirit of thrift"

SAYS HE WAS ROBBED.
Negro Accuses FrieDd(D and Tniden-
 tiiied Negro.

Will Junior, negro employee of the Arkansas Short Leaf company, residing at 2009 West Ninth avenue, reported to the police yesterday that he had been robbed at his home the night before by "friend" and sec ond party, whom he did not see. Juniors story is to the effect that he was called on Tuesday night by a strange negro. who asked permission to warm and rest himself while, which request Will granted. While engaged in conversation with his guest, Junior says that some one he did not see, slipped into the room, threw a sack, over his head and held him. while the visitor proceeded to ransack the room, securing pistol and several articles of clothing. The negro was choked almost into insen- sibility by his assailant drawing the sack tightly around his neck, and it was some time before he recovered sufficiently to remove the sack and give the alarm. The police are in- vestigating.

HAWLEY CHURCH SHOWS
 ENCOURAGING GROWTH

The quarterly conference of Hawley Memorial church, held last night, brought out some very encouraging facts in connection with the work ac- complished during the past quarter. During January ,twenty-two joined the church, according to Rev. Buhle-, the pastor, while the report from the superintendent of the Sunday school brings the good news that the at tendance has; doubled in the past eight weeks. The average attendance at the Epworth league is now 65, while the attendance at the regular services has about trebled. The la dies of the Missionary society have reorganized and much interest and enthusiasm is manifested in this body of workers. The finances show decided tendency upward, receipts amounting to something near 70 per cent. greater the past quarter than the corresponding period of last year. Attendance at prayer meeting shows an increase of about 75 per cent. over the attendance last quarter.

contained some very peculiar laws. Among them was regulation permit ting manufacturers to sell their pins only on January 1 and 2. So when the good wife went forth on these dates to get her pins, she bought them with what she called her "pin money" To have "pin money" in those days was an indication of so- cial position, and we can imagine the people liked to exploit the fact. The expression has been preserved with somewhat the same significance. To have "pin money" is to have money that does not have to be spent for necessities. t
 It may be interesting to know that about 1,50O tons of iron and brass are used in the manufacture of pins in the United States yearly.-From

Here is suit that shows exceedingly smart lines. The skirt is circular and the coat hangs perfectly loose and but it includes novel cuffs and high collar, and it flares most gracefully over the hips. Altogether the effect is good and smart and the costume is available in so many ways that it must make an especial appeal. Scotch frieze is the material shown here and frieze is being much worn while it is both handsome and good but we never have had more of list of desirable suitings. Duvetyns are lovely and make up beautifully in this way. Broadcloth is quite appropriate also and one may go on over very, long list. The simple loose coat but. toned down the front is always a good one and always becoming, but among the other advantages of the model are the possibilities of the coat. If pre- ferred it can be made with plaits under the arms and the plaits held in posi- tion by means of belt ter- minating at each side of the front, while the front edge is shaped. The two coats give an entirely different effect, in fact one would in no! way suggest the other; yet a little least difference in cut and adjustment; makes the different effect. The plain; skirt can be finished with lapped edges or with a seam at the back It is. circular, cut in one pieceyand flares gracefully as only circular skirts can do:
 For the medium size the coat will require, 3M yards of material 36 inches with 4}S 1' yards. of fur banding: The skirt will require, 3N yards 36. 2L yards A or 54 inches wide. The
 skirt is 2H yards in width at tsc
 lower edge.
 The May Manton pattern of the coat 8666 and the skirt 8628 are both cut in sizes for I6 and IS years. They
 will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on
 receipt of ten cents for each.

Women folks is funny critters
 Seems to me: They ain't got no use fer quitters,
 No, sir-ee. If your spinal columns weak. If your nerve has sprung a leak, Ii you show a yallcr streak,
 Let 'er be. If you've got no common sense,
 Better wait. If you're Wobblin' on the fence,
 Hunt the gate. If you're slightly off your feed, ii you're just broken reed, If you're hacked and gone to seed,
 Pull yer freight.

 She'll say "No.' If you're just q bloomin sncb,
 You can go. If your blood ain't good and red, If you're empty in your head, Boys, she'll surely cut you dead,
 Ain't it so? Punk the bull's-eye in the midde
 If you can. Don't be playin' second fiddle,
 Lead the van. Women folks is great on Thrift. Cause the race is to the swift. Get move on Laugh and lift Be a man.
