WILSON'S CHIEF APoLoaIsT

The Democrats point with pride" to the
fact that A. A.. Jones. President Wilson's chief
apologist in New Mexico, was assistant Sec
rotary of the Department of the Interior I'M
der the Wilson administration, and it is gen.
orally known that the President dictated the
nomination of Mr.. Jones as the Democratic
candidate for u. S. Senator. People of New
Mexico who are opposed to the reelection of
Wilson should remember this on November
9TH when they cast their ballots.

OUR DEAR PRESIDENT

Out in California the women orators
stumping the state for Wilson at so much per.
refer to him as "our dear President" Dear
is the right word. He is the dearest Presi-
dent this country has ever had, as witness the
staggering sum of the appropriations of the
Congresses during his administration And the
Democratic appetite for pork is still far from
being satiated.

- PENS OF THE PAST.

The Old Time Quill and the Art OF
r.. Putting Point on 1t.
Quill pens are no longer used except
in rare old fashioned instances, but
people still use "penknives"-you can
see the name any day in the cutlery
store windows-but they do not use
theTl to make or mend pens. In fact,
where is there a man or woman who
knows how to put a point OH d quill
1t was once an art which every man
had to master. though women were
generally bad at it, as they are now at
sharpening pencils.
In the old days the first question
asked of a schoolmaster was the one
whether he was skillful in pointing
quilts, for he had to sharpen the pens
II his whole school and incidentally in
struct his. pupils in the art Alas!
There is no modern pen of steel or gold
that is so smooth, so swift, so alluring
as good quill pen. The writer is very
sure of that. for his father used to tell
him so
The art of II :, WRITING has certainly
declined since the quill pen went out of
use The old fellows could really write.
We still pay them an unconscious trib-
ute by calling a writer quill
driver" and picturinc the pen. when
ever we have to make an abstract rep

One Mans Scheme Wien He Found HE
Capital Was Shrinking.
What ole man did when he discover
ed his capital was shrinking is told in
the American Magazine:
"a friend let me into Sc ret of his
financial economy which strikes me as
valuable. He is of middle age. with a
small family, and has an income of
$500 a year. He has put by few
thousand dollars. His investments are
in gilt edged securities
"At the end of every six months he
figures out exactly the value of his
property. Each share of stock, each
bond is reckoned at it's present market
price, and the sale value Of his house
is placed at the lowest figure. To the
current value of his estate he adds his
life insurance. The result is the capt.
tai which would be available for the
support Of his wife and children should
he suddenly die.
cat the last three reckonings my
friend found that his capital was
shrinking. There had been declines in
certain stocks and bonds and a falling
off in the value of his real estate.
What did he do? Commiserate him.
self? Not at all. He went to a life in
surance company and took out policy
large enough more than to cover the
shrinkage in his capital. Comparative
ly speaking. it cost him very little, but
1t added a neat sum to the value of
his estate and guaranteed an unim
paired income to his wife,

"A sample shirt had been hung up

GETTING AN EDUCATION.
After the Age of Thirty Is the Time to
Start In Earnest.


According 70 the Saturday Evening
Post, the best time to get an education
perhaps the only time-is any time
after one has passed thirty. The stuff
that one learns before twenty is not
meant to be remembered. 1t is only a.
placing of the chutes and an arrange
ment of the bins for the permanent
contents. From twenty to thirty ono
is all torn up with counting, marrying
and getting a foothold in life. After
that is the time for education-from
then on until death or senile debility.
A man or woman past thirty is ex-
actly at the most favorable period for
mastering knowledge, training the
mind, forming the taste. Some syste-
matte effort is all that is necessary.
Notice the silly and tiresOme ways in
which enormous numbers of people
spend some of their holidays. They
know what to do with their working
hours, but not with their leisure.
Most of them by a little direction
and a little systematic effort might
develop some special interest. Boys
quickly tire of mere aimless and pain
less play. Naturally they want
method and a goal in it. Having
goal is exactly what gives zest to the
game.
And having a goal is both easy and
delightful. To study anything with
interest, from logarithms to caterpil-
lars, gives one fun and profit at the
same time. Try it.
