Thrift and Parsimony.

Many people mistake thrift for par
simony, but they are as far apart as
the poles. No one admires a miser no
one should initiate him. Food, raiment
and shelter are the first necessities of
civilization. When they are sufficient,
then all other things will come to the
normal man or woman. Their minds
will find proper food for thought and
both their minds and bodies will find
relaxation in proper and healthful
amusement. But the pleasures that
are most satisfying are those that
come from successful work. All 9TH
ers are transitory and fleeting. And if
mans soul, or woman's either, will
not grow and develop on the farm, it
will shrivel and sink anywhere else
and be forever lost.-Myron III. Bent,
in Syracuse Post-Standard.

When Children Hike.

A certain hill in one of the suburbs
has afforded opportunity for such fine
coasting within the last few days thai
many of the grown-ups have joined
with the children in the sport
One couple in particular attracted
much attention.
The man must have been sixty, but
the brightness of his eye and the buoy
ancy of his general demeanor gave the
lie to his white hair.
The woman was also the picture of
vivacity, although her age was close
to that of the man.
Everyone on the hill seemed to en-
joy watching these two, as together
they drew their sled to the top, and
starting with the rest, slid to the bot
tom in whirl of delight.
Everybody laughed when the woman
said to her husband, in mock conster-
nation:
ooh, Jim, now We'll have to 60
home"
"Why?" Jim inquired.
Because" smiled the wife, II just
heard the curfew blow"

Editor Star-Mirror: | noticed in the
Star Mirror under date of June GOTH
an editorial headed Forget Politics
for Awhile" which certainly hit the
spot, and / want to congratulate you
on writing the article, which agrees
with my ideas absolutely as an offic-
ial. There should be no politics in any
office. After the official has been
elected, he is the servant of all the
people, not of any certain party, and
he is put into office to look after ana
care for the duties of that department
for the best interests of the whole
people. If there were more papers that
would take up that idea and pass it
along, am sure it would have good
effect.
