Had funny experience the other

Had funny experience the Other
night. The clerk at the hotel came
over to the restaurant and sat at the
same table. | noticed the button on his
coat and said, Friend, you must have
been a soldier?'
He said he was and l told him
was teamster during the war and
was captured by Gilman's men.
Where was that?" he asked.
TN the Shenandoah valley, on May
20, 1854 answered.
"'Well,' says he, putting his hand
on my shoulder. 1 was one of your
guards
Queer. wasn't it? You know l was
glad / had come here-just to meet
that old man did me good. He was a
cavalryman in Company X of the Fif-
teenth New York"
when ! was back in West Virginia
they asked me If we had schools and
churches out here. Well, / just told
then that our schools were the finest
in the country and that we had plenty
Of churches. Then they used to intro
duce me as the man who came from a
state where women vote. Certainly
women vote says /. and why should
MT they be equal with men? 1t is only
in heather countries they think women
are not equal.
Il have seen a lot since came here,
had many narrow escapes. It must
have been because l was SO wicked
that my life was spared. Sometimes
snowslides have swept away all my
property and / never got a scratch. l
stayed out here on a ranch a couple
of winters ago with lot of horses and
had an old cat for company, and how
we did talk. ] never got sick out
there. either. and my nearest neighbor
was twenty-six miles away.

business is done on credit-debt; that
ness fail for the lack of more money,
more credit, more debt. / have seen
men ride into water and quicksend,
the horse, with the instinct of self pre-
tries to turn back for which he is cuff
ed about the ears and urged on with
quirt and spur and is engulfed- 1t is
like man going in debt and to get
out goes in deeper and is lost in the
quicksands of finance, of business.
Fifty years ago there were not a dozen
banks between the Missouri river and
the Sierras. The rich men of today
laid the foundation of their fortunes
by working and saving while their
posterity idles and squanders. 1t is no
longer fashionable to work and save.
Anyone who does so is a tightwad
and a skinflint and any woman who
has any respect for herself would not
marry him.
1t looks as if there were men who
think of nothing but some scheme to
extract money from the pockets of men
with money, schemes to perpetuate
their names and follies, such as civic
centers, presidents home. national
park or an historical pageant. Every
one of them and hundreds of others
are schemes to spend other peoples
money. more money, issue bonds, in
creaes taxes, which are already a bur-
den. Their schemes are tax-eaters, the
only ones benefited. They are the
men we allow to manage our public
affairs-men who pay little or no taxes
at all. Their business is to invent
schemes and they are only concerned
in wasting public money. All men talk
economy, but the man in office who
dares practice economy will be driven
out or kicked out of office and off the
grass. Economy is right but don't re-
duce my salary or wages nor reduce
the office force. II you do your politi-
cal career will end at next election"
Hush little note, don't you cry. you1l
be a mortgage. bye and BYE. S. Hoy

Correspondent in City Visited by Zep- peIins Simply Stayed in Bed

I was billeted at the time of the first Zeppelin raid in a little, smelly house of three floors and six apartments. The house was packed with the orig. inal tenants, Jew and Greek, together with such lodgers as myself. In our
 flat of four rooms and kitchen were the landlord and his lady, four sons and two daughters. The sons slept on the sitting-room floor, and if you came home in the dark you were like ly to tread on them. Two French ofii- cers shared the best bedrooms, while slept alone ia. the second best. bang" went the bombs from the Zeppelin,;, the French officers cried "En. bas !" and the boys banged at my door yelling "Embros !" which is Greek for Forwards !" As it didn't seem to matter much where one went, the whole thing, failing dugouts, be- ing purely question of luck, stayed in bed and touched wood. The crashes of the big bombs were terrifying. The houses hook with each explosion; but as all things-good or bad-must come to an end, so too, after while, ended this business. A wonderful orange colored blaze lit up the world outside, and so got out of bed and watched it, deciding at last to dress and sec things at close quarters.-Albert Kim ross, in the Atlantic.

DO IT NOW, GOOD WATCHW0RD
Yet Failed to Bring Train of Evils in It's Wake.

Sometime" is a useful word that Is often overworked, remarks the Mill waukee Journal. One says, Sometime I will do it," but the time never comes. Sometime is no time when kind, deed Is to be done. Sometime is no time when a definite task is to be done. A thing put off beyond its rightful time encroaches on time allotted by right to other duties: One may think he is gaining time by postponing the duty of the hour. In fact, he is vast Ing time. Tomorrow" and ever ''to- morrow" has been the ruin of many. Do now the thing that should be done now. Have you had quarrel, and are you ready for reconciliation? Do not postpone 1t. The other person may get hardened in his views and become un- willing to be reconciled. He may die and leave you to lasting regret that you had not made friends. Would you help someone? Do not wait till help Is past being help. Put off till 'to- morrow" mending the fence, and your neighbours cattle will have found the weak place and made havoc with your grain. Put off paying your insurance, and perhaps a fire will destroy all you have. Debts do not grow less by postponing payment. Do 1t now" is a good watchword. Say the kind word, do the kind deed, perform the duty of the home.
