theater manager was at the station, to
be sure they had the eight actors.
The players wandered about the tow,
during the day. The curtain went up on
$24.75. most OF II In the gallery. Some
Of the $24.75 went out at the end of
the second act and didn't come back.
When the final curtain came down a
weary crowd scattered to the chill

when the fheater manager OF the town

and dumped them into the arms OF the

Encouraging the Tendency to Spend
There are two mediums that make
it easy to spend money without q
pricking conscience. The first is the
charge account. All the large stores
have made it steady policy to en-
courage the opening of charge ac-
counts, being liberal in their rules as
to the credit risk. "A man need have
but few good references and check
up well to be honored with place on
the books of the house, where he may
buy up to certain limit, have il
charged, receive his bill monthly and
pay within a reasonable time, which
should be two weeks. There are OBJ
vious advantages in this feature of
modern business, and the department
stores are constantly importuning
people to avail themselves of such fac
ilities. But beware of this alluring
bait. 1t tempts you to over-buy, pur-
chasing the things you do not need,
perhaps, and would not buy if you
had to pay cash.
Human nature is alike everywhere.
We all succumb to such temptations.
The charge account does facilitate
shopping, for you do not have to wait
for change, may return goods with
ease and have record of what you
buy each month. Use it, but do not
abuse it.
The second medium is the checking
account in bank. Like the charge
account it makes spending easy.
There was time when we lived on
cash basis. We paid for what we
got when we got it in money. We
could see the money go. We missed
it. In the sight of real money there
is something subtle and precious, and
we let go with regret. To all healthy
and normal individuals interrupted
by the possession of "easy money" or
superfiuous wealth, or over indul-
gence in alcohol, the parting with
real money is painful. AS the crisp
bill leaves your hand a CHASTITY little
sigh accompanies it. You have then
tangibly parted with your money.
The fruits of your labor are gone.
The insidious side of the checking
account is that it enables you to
spend money without pricking of con-
science. You write your check in
amount and hand it over as so much
money; but it lacks the sting of
spending real money.
Beware how you let the charge ac-
count run away with your good judg-
ment. Keep yourself in check. BY
all means have bank account if you
spend but hundred dollars month,
but beware lest the temptation to
draw checks gets you into the habit
of treating money in the bank as diff
ferent from money in your purse, be-
cause all you have to do is to fill out
a check.
A bank account for household ex-
penses is the best thing yet devised,
but it has it's temptations. Consider
your check book as a record to tell
where your money went, who got it,
for what purposes, and be your best
receipt, but look out for the allure
ment of the checking account that it
does not beguile you into reckless
spending that you would not fall prey
to if you lived on a cash basis. When
you live by real money you may have
a little fit at every unwise expendi-
ture, but in a checking account you
have one big fit at the end Of the
month. You ought not have either.

An Eskimo Yule

r SEA captain once said that when
"a God was creating the world he
threw all waste material aside In
a heap, and that was Labrador God
neverintended it to be inhabited, maybe.
But 1t is inhabited, and into that waste
of Ice clad cliffs and crags Moravian
missionaries have penetrated so that
amid the desolation OF Labrador snow
the Christmas festival is celebrated.
As service time draws nigh all. old
and young. the men on one side, the
women on the other. are waiting in
eager expectation. BY A o'clock 1t is
quite dark, and the bell rings. All
come trooping In. clad In the best
Clothes they can muster. / say all,
for not one will be wanting, unless
kept at home by serious Illness. Even
those who are i'll, II not too sick. will
be brought on sleds and carried into
the church, and those who really can
not come weep at home.
For the little children the happiest
part Of the service comes later, when
each child receives a lighted candle
symbolizing the light OF the world.
Each candle stands In a white turnip,
which has been saved from the hard
won harvest wrung from that inhos-
pitable soil. A hole is cut into the
turnip and the candle inserted. so that
1t serves as candlestick. In former
years. when deer hunting was more
successful. the Eskimos brought the
deer tallow to the missionaries, who
made the candles out OF 1t. Then aft
er the service the children had not
only the turnip to eat. but also the
rest of the candle which had been
brought home unconsumed. But now
imported candles are used, and they
are not fit to eat. SO the children have
only thejoy Of seeing them burn Rev.

Of sixteen Orders made of very thin

their length and turning inward to
meet one another at nose and tail.
The cylindrical body of the Zeppelin
may therefore be said TO have sixteen
rides on account of the sixteen Orders
To keep these longitudinal Orders,
or "stringers." in position there are
thwartship Orders. which run like
hoops around the ship and act like the
ribs OF boat. There are generally
about eighteen hoop Orders. spaced an
equal distance. one from another. and
they are b-aced across and across in
side each hoop TO the next by wire
bracing, SO that they cut up the whole
skeleton into succession OF compart-
ments. each of which-except the end
compartments has fat ends and six
teen sides.
In each of these compartments is
gas bag standing on its edge. The
idea is that If one gas bag springs a
leak or is punctured by a projectile
only that one bag collapses. and the
weighing of the ship is so arranged
that even If four or five gas bags are
entirely debated those that remain will
float the ship after all ballast, ammuni-

Tennyson's Father Had to Fly For His
Life From Russia.
Shortly after the assassination OF
Emperor Paul OF Russia. Tennyson, the
father of the poet. dined with Lord St
Helens. the British ambassador. In
Moscow. Several Russian officers OF
high rank whose names he did not
know were also guests. During dinner
guarded reference was made to the
emperor's death.
''Why do you speak so gingerly
about q matter so notoriousT cried
Tennyson impulsively, leaning across
his neighbor, Russian whose breast
was covered with orders. 1--WE know
very well in England that the Emperor
Paul was murdered Count Zoboff
knocked him down, and Benningsen
and Count Pahlen strangled him"
There was a strained silence; then
the ambassador abruptly changed the
subject. AS the guests filed out into an
adjoining room Lord St. Helens drew
Tennyson aside Don't 60 into the
next ROOM" he whispered, "but fly for
your life. The man next you, across
whose breast you leaned, was Count
Pahlen. and Zoboff was also at the ia
ble.'
He gave a few hurried directions,
and Tennyson rushed of, threw his
clothes into portmanteau and fed be
hind fast horses to Odessa, still In
evening garb. though the cold was In
tense. He lay, hidden for weeks and
at last. in the disguise Of servant,
was smuggled en- board an English

Al Upon the Christmas eve.
All, slack Of heart and slow Of heart,
Who will not him receive!
Ny Lord was born in Bethlehem,
And waiting shepherds heard
Sweet angel heralds chanting loud
The long awaited word.
Ny Lord was born in Bethlehem,
And in q manger laid.
None tended him. none cherished
him,
Save that sweet mother-maid.
Ny Lord was born in Bethlehem,
And wise men came to see
His lowly state and homage paid
To his mild majesty.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
But soon he had to fee,
For cruel hate Of sinful man
Spared not his infancy.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
But home had none on earth;
A pilgrim and stranger he,
An exile from his birth.
Ny Lord was born in Bethlehem.
He died, but rose again.
Rich is the gift his death hath
bought
New life for sinful men.
