A Painter and His Pet

Rembrandt. the famous painter, had
a monkey he loved very much. The
monkey took sick and died as Rem
brandt was painting the picture of a
noble family. He was told at once.
and he commenced to cry, and then
he started to draw the picture he was
making. Nothing would stop him from
doing this, although every one tried to
do so. When the man he was paint
ing the picture for saw the picture he
refused to take it, for Rembrandt told
him the picture was Of the monkey

picture Is still in existence.

an Advance of Wages.
Chicago.-For a few days a young
north shore matron believed she had
solved the servant girl problem. Her
first girl found the country life too
slow and returned home "back Of the
yards"
This experience afforded an inspira-
ton, and she imported a girl from her
former home at Galesburg. Kindly
treatment was to ne the keynote of
success, so when she discovered the
new maid lacked underwear she armed
her with a dollar and shopping in
Structions.
In thirty minutes the girl was back,
but minus the underwear. In its place
she had purchased a mouth organ
costing 40 cents, which she exhibited
proudly to her mistress with the re-
mark:

THE ART OF SAVING
The Elusive Dollar That Burns

LUXURY GROWS WITH SALARY

A Discussion Of How, With Increa.. =,
Income and No Apparent Increase o,
Pleasures, Coin Still Takes on tn.
Vanishing Qualities of Mist.
ut is easy enough to make money. /"
said a business man the other dav
THE hard thing to learn is how tn
save and how to spend it. The first
year was married 1 was earning three
thousand, last year pulled down four
and this year am getting away with
five. As I've said, it's easy enough tn
make money-any man with average
intelligence can do it-but how in the
world are you going to save IT? 7
don't seem to be getting any mora
pleasure or comfort for the five thou-
sand than did for three. 1 am Ger.
tain l don't put away any more than
/ did on the smaller salary. and the
question that stumps me is. Where
does the money go? There is certainly
a leak somewhere. The whole trouble
lies in the fact that don't know how
to spend it"
This situation is one that manv a
family faces. All may not be in cir
cumStances, as comfortable as those of
the man mentioned above, but the sit
uation is practically the same.
Family thrift is almost an unknown
quantity in the average American
household. Our men are famous for
their generosity, and most of their
wives run their households on the
same generous scale. AS the income
grows larger the demands on it grow
bigger. but so gradually does this
change take place that it is almost i'm
perceptible. A luxury Or two here, a
pleasure there, little things which seem
of no consequence at the time of their
indulgence, but mount up at an alarm
ing rate at the end of a year.
1t is quite true that a man might not
be able to put his hand on a single
tangible thing which he was enjoying
with salary of $1,000 a year that he
did not have when his earning capac-
ity was little more than half this
amount. Extravaganza creeps upon
Us so gradually that the inroads it
makes upon our incomes are hardly
noticed at the time. 1t is only when
we sit down and take account of our
mode of existence that we realize we
are spending more and getting less for
the money.
Every sane man and woman wants
to save. They know it is their only in
surance against the future. No matter
how well matters are going at the
present moment. every family stands
the chance of facing a rainy day, and
If they are wise they wish to be pre-
pared for that dreary occasion. Sick
ness or loss of position has nothing
like the dread for the man and wife
who have a comfortable savings ac-
count tucked away in some bank as
1t has for the poor individuals who |
spend every cent as it comes in, drain |
ing the family eXchequer to its last |
cent at the end of each month. Sick
hess or loss of position to such per- |
sons is a disaster. sometimes even a
tragedy.
Perhaps you think it is impossible |
to save on the salary you are earning |
at present. In many instances. unfor-
this is true. But, whatever
Your income, sit down and make out
family budget that shall provide for
certain percentage of savings regu-
iarly.
