"Well, you see. every Sunday morn

out for spin. Around noon we happen
to be near the Joneses or the Smiths
and. Of course. we drop In. They in
vite us to stay. Then on the way back
we have to pass the Williamses or the

How One Family Saved

In the American Magazine a writer
tells how he and his wife managed to
save money and get ahead:
ION March /, 1905. my wife per
suaded me to take out five shares Of
building and loan stock, which neces-
STATED my paying s. every month. l
kept at It faithfully and regularly, new
or missing single payment, and many
Q month I could hardly see where the
% was coming from, for at that time
my salary was not very large. But l
considered that l owed It Just the same
% owed my rent.
81 kept at 1t with q determination
that would not let anything interfere,
and after paying In for ten years and
eight months the secretary told me
that the series I was In had matured
and that I need not pay any more. SO
he gave me a check for $1,000. You
can easily figure that at SIS per month
had paid just $640.
The profit represented the interest
on my money for the ten years and
premium on my money which the as
ISOLATION had sold, and when the
amount which had paid then plus In
terest and premium reached $1,000 my
obligation to them ceased, and l got
the amount mentioned above, or $1,000
I have often said to my wife that we
were just that much ahead, for feel
certain we would not have saved the
IS each month If we had not made the
start and felt that we should stick to
1t until the stock matured.
with that $1,000 I bought a $1,000
bond that pays 8 per cent, and instead
Of paying out 500 year we get $50 In
terest each year. This permits us to
save the $50 each year and in addition
the $50 interest, which is almost dou-
BILE the amount we originally started
with"

Epigrams of Success

. Let me, says B. G. Forbes in Leslie's,
give q few of the business epigrams
and notices Of prominent st. Louis
merchant, since they throw light on
his successful methods: s..r :
The difference between failure and
success is doing thing nearly right
and doing 1t exactly right. ...
Concentration means strength Scat
iteration means weakness. Having cho-
sen one line of work or business, stick
to It. ..,..... B..
Spend fifteen minutes every night re-
counting your days doings and plan
ming to do better next morning.
Always put yourself in your custo,
mers place. ...- .... .....
Character is the decisive force in
business. .-. ,.
am great believer in the bust
ness philosophy Of encouragement.
Settle claims promptly. The mer.
chant who does not permit himself to
be imposed upon occasionally will
never get far. ......
If any of your men or any custo-
mer gets into hole, always leave
him a loophole to get out easy. ..
Quality of goods, confidence in your
business and in yourself, ability and
readiness to anticipate conditions and
to adapt yourself to them-these are
some Of the essentials to business sue.

SOME QUESTIONABLE COL
LECTIONS.

1t is reported to our office that a
supposed newspaperman or preacher
is collecting money for church pur-
poses. The Star has no connection
in this work. We have never So
licited finance for any charitable pur-
pose. We can say that we have every
right to respect Mrs. J. O. Vinegar,
who is in charge of the Weekly Ad-
vocate in the absence of R. B. Mont
gomery its editor, who manages to
find it convenient to leave town when
these things come up. Collections
have been solicited for a school on
the North Side and Helping Hand
proposition is under investigation
Mr.. L. Jones, who is soliciting for
the Advocate is honest and he is
not responsible for many things con-
nected with The Advocte. Bethesda
Baptist Church is a victim of some
collector. Mr.. Thos. H. Jones, a vet
eran newspaper man, has been here
since November. He has not pro-
duced his magazine. Mr.. Phil. Hale
has resigned from the Advocate, and
it can be said that he has not con-
nected himself with charitable col
lections, so far as we know. We
regret that these conditions cause a
quarrel between the newspaper men,
but it is unavoidable, when the news
paper is used only as a side line for
stealing. The Star suffers because it
is older and better known. and must
bear the burden of the NEGRO news
paper"

Happiness.


Happiness is always byproduct. II
never comes to those who concentrate
on securing 1t. The unhappiest per.
son In the world is the one who con
stantly pursues happiness. Not more
elusive was the nymph that fed Apol
10 than is happiness to those who pur,
sue 1t as an end and aim. It always
comes as a result Of something else
The pursuit Of noble things, the things
essentially worth while, brings happi.
ness. As a man goes on life's jour.
ney with brave heart, doing the best
he can and leaving the issues Ito the
powers that wait on noble ends" he
often hears the faint f1utter Of invisible

A custom which has now disappeared
used to afford much amusement to the
guests at the banquet on lord mayors
day. In the household Of the lord mayor
there existed the Offices of jester and
city laureate. On the day of the feast
huge quaking custard was made in a
dish as large as bathing machine. 1t
was the duty Of the laureate, clad in
official garb, to spring from his chair
into the depths of the custard, splash
ing the contents over the table and the
nearest guests.
In return for this feat the laureate
was allowed to eat as much of the GUS
