Immediately clean and coy as the old

"I'm going to stock up Morton" said
Beardsley, $50 shall be here two or
three days."
He arose early the next morning and
took a stroll before breakfast. AS he
passed the site of the old Isle home
he halted quite staggered, for It show

In which he had passed so many pleas
ant hours.
II sayw he hailed a neighbor, going
about his yard on crutches, whats
happened here?"
"Oh, the house burned down."
"When was that?"
"About three months ago. 1t was the
first Of February, as well remember,
about eight o'clock in the morning. 1t
caught in the west room. I saw the
curtains on fire from my place here
but l was alone. I'm cripple, and
couldn't do anything. telephoned the
fire house, but 1t was oil in flames by
the time the hose cart got here"
"How did 1t catch2" questioned
Beardsley, dawning intelligence in his
face.
"Don't know-mystery. Mrs. Isle
and little Ruth had gone to the depot
with visitor, and when they got back
they found themselves homeless.

Two hours later, roll Of blue pa

peared at the new home Of the Llsles.
"Oh, dear where have you been, Mr.,
Beardsley2" cried Ruth. "We've kept
breakfast waiting for two hours, and

THE MORPHINE KISS.
Latest Form of Oscillation Is Prac-
ticed in the "Dope Cure" Ward in
Brideweil Prison in Chicago.

ChicagO.-Officers of the house Of
correction in the bridewell prison have
discovered the morphine kiss as the
latest form of osculation practiced on
inmates of the dope cure" ward
A prisoner who is being weaned
away from the morphine habit against
his will is watched constantly by at
tendants, but when 'dear" relative
as his wife, sister or some other friend
calls the prison authorities never have
interposed any objections to a long
and lingering kiss. Now they find that
during the long embraces and linger-
ing, kisses perhaps as many as so or
60 grains Of morphine are transferred
to the patient.
Authorities at the brideWell propose
now to forbid kissing in the dope"
ward and thus prevent the smuggling
of dream-prOvOking drugs.

Preparedness

These are stirring times in which
it is difficult to look very far into
the future. No one can tell what
emergencies may arise within the
next few months.
Certain it is, however, that the
man with money in the bank is we'll
prepared either to offset adversities
or to take advantage of opportunities
which may offer themselves.
Preparedness and thrift go hand
in hand. A proper observance of
this dual policy leads to economy of
living, simplicity of tastes and con-
servatiOn of resources.
The cultivation of Real Thrift de-
velops better business, better homes
and better citizenship.
