Innse NLnnagement.

Most of the large cities Of the Init
ed states are living beyond their
means. They are piling up debts at
a rate that IS apt TO lead to financial
instability later on.
The city of Chicago, for instance.
for several years has spent much
more than it has been able to collect
in taxes. licenses, fees and fines, ana
even from bond sales Back In 1910
the revenues of the city exceeded the
expenses by nearly s2.000,00@, but
81 1912 the excess of expenditures
over revenues was S2,500,000, while
in 1913 it was more than S4,OOO,OOO
In 1914 the excess expense was cut
down to S1.750,O0O and last year i
was reduced to S1,500,000, but tbs
tendency toward economy is not SC
swift and sure as to indicate that Chi
cago at any time in the near future
will cut its expenditures to f1t the
normal income.
Most of the cities preach thrift to
the people, feeling that if the consum-
ers were more provident there would
be great economies in the cost Of
living. But what can be expected,
asks the Washington Post. from the
poor people when the cities set such
poor example? There is need of a
budget system in the cities as we'll as
in the national government.

THE DAILY
NO V.EE1ET
THE BIRTH OF THE JIG.
In ancient Greece,
In villas white,
Long-toga'd statesmen
StroIled at night.

Aristoot Jigg. the immortal Athen-
ian philosopher, sat leaning against
the great wall of the ancient Creek
city of Eddo, and thought sagely.
(See Benno links Great Philoso-
piers and What They Leaned
Against")
IT was z perfect Nay day Of the
year 500 A. D.. and Aristoot Jigg's
ninety-third birthday.
The birds fly" thought the phi-
losopher. They fly because they
have wings. Men walk. They walk
because they have legs. And the
moral is: Use is excuse. | believe
my right foot is falling asleep (See
Edgar Weep's "Inflrmities of Great
Thinkers.")
| And he continued his reflections
thus: Dogs bark before they bite,
4 Rattlesnakes rattle before they sting,
But a tax collector makes no sound
as he creeps up to lay a hand on youl
shoulder. And the moral is: Nature
Ills a good sport. My foot is sound
asleep and painful"
And Aristoot Jiggs jumped up and
began prancing about with peculiar
motion to restore wakefulness to his
foot. a passing player of the Jews's
harp stopped and inmprovised music
on his instrument to fit the philoso-
lpher's antics. And thus was born
the dance known as the Jigg or more
commonly. the jig.

Paects Of the Thrift Habit.

Thrift is the foundation Of good con
duct and every man and woman who
has what we term good character, has
it and keeps it by virtue OF the habit
of thrift in some form. It needs not
be the thrift of money. but thrift Of
time, opportunity, health, the broad
thrift-the wise use of what one has"
lies at the root Of every life that can
be called success.
The employee who learns to manage
his personal anaIrs so that he saves
money, will use his employers time
and material wisely. The man who
is careful about little things will be
careful about the larger ones. If he
keeps careful record OF what he
spends, he will be careful in investing
his money. Big traits of character man
fest themselves in little acts.
AS the man OF thrift saves his money
and sees his bank account grow, he be-
comes interested in the proposition .,
