Knew His Man.

George Bubb, better known as Bulb
Doddington, one Of the wits Of the
eighteenth century, always dined well
and always liked to doze after the re-
past. Falling asleep one day after din
ner with Sir Richard Temple and Lord
Gotham, the latter reproached bod
dington with his drowsiness. Dodding-
ton denied having been asleep and to
prove he had not offered to repeat all
Lord Gotham had been saying. Cob
ham challenged him to do so. Dod-
dington repeated a story, and Lord
Gotham owned he had been telling it.
SWELL" said Doddington, land yet I
did not hear a word of it, but went
to sleep because knew that about this
time of the day you would tell that

THE MAGIC RAKE.

Hans was a plowman, but was very
poor, for, no matter how hard he work
ed, his wages were so small that he
was barely able to get enough to eat.
He was a most obliging and gener-
Gus young fellow, however, and never
wearied Of helping his neighbors when
they needed assistance.
One day when Hans was busy plow-
ing field he found, to his surprise, q
broken rake lying on the ground.
Il wonder whose rake it isT' said
Hans to himself. 1T Is a fine rake
and only needs a little mending to
make 1t as good as new"
STOPPING down, he picked up the
rake, which was Of different pattern
from any he had ever seen.
Some one has lost it." thought Hans,
'or perhaps has put it down until he
can have it mended"
When the days work was done and
Hans was ready to go home he noticed
that the broken rake was still lying
unclaimed by any one.
I'll take it home and mend it, he
decided. Some one will most likely
come and search for it tomorrow"
So Hans took the rake home, and, as
he was very handy with tools, he mend
ed the rake so skillfully that it was in
deed as good as new.
The next morning Hans set forth to
complete the blowing of the field and,
taking the mended rake with him, laid
it down where he had found it
On his way home he passed the spot
where he had placed the rake, but it
was no longer there.
1.-The owner has come for it, said
Hans aloud
"You are right, Hans" said a small
voice near by. 'The owner has now
got his mended rake
Hans turned in establishment, and
there stood a little fellow not more
than a foot high, dressed in brown
leather, with a curious, conical cap on
his head.
'@Thank you very much, Hans, for
mending my rake. have been able to
do nothing with it for long time, but
you have made it better than ever"
said the little man. He added: 'HTake
it for your own. 1t will bring you
luck"
So Hans became the owner Of the
magic rake. Ever after his crops grew
wonderfully, and in time he became
rich.

he started to draw the picture he was

doing this, although every one tried to
do so. When the man he was paint

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

This experience afforded an inspira-
ton, and she imported q girl from her

success, so when she discovered the
new maid lacked underwear she armed
her with a dollar and shopping In

In thirty minutes the girl was back,

she had purchased a mouth organ

THE ART OF SAVING
The Elusive Dollar That Burns
Our Fingers.
LUXURY GROWS WITH SALARY

Discussion of How, With Increase Of
Income and No Apparent Increase of
Pleasures, Coin Still Takes on the
Vanishing Qualities of Mist
at is easy enough to make money"
said a business man the other day.
SThe hard thing to learn is how to
save and how to spend it. The first
year was married was earning three
thousand, last year pulled down four
and this year L am getting away with
five. As I've said, it's easy enough to
make money-any man with average
intelligence can do it-but how in thu
world are you going to save IT? I
don't seem to be getting any more
pleasure or comfort for the five thou
sand than l did for three. 1 am GER
tain 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
leak somewhere. The whole trouble
lies in the fact that don't know how
to spend it.
This situation is one that many 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. 4 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 q 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 a salary of $1,000 q 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 i comfortable savings &C.
count tucked away in some bank as
it 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-
tunatcIy. this is true. But, whatever
your income, sit down and make out a
family budget that shall provide for a
certain percentage of savings regu-
larly.
