IRISH WIT.

A wealthy man on his death bed,
who had no relatives to leave his
property to, called in three of his
most intimate friends, and told them
that he was going to die, and would
leave all his earthly belongings to
them, but made one request-tha
each .one should place $4,000 in
the casket to show his good faith
and to prove his friendship. After
the funeral, the three men got to-
gether to divide up the property. One
OF the three said l put 800 in gold
in the casket; another said I put
in silver; the third man who was
an lrishman. said, "Ye fellows were
both ahead of me, so l just wrote
a check for three hundred and took
out me change"

When a man of fifty looks back at
his boy-hccd days, and recalls the
privileges he was permitted to enjoy,
and the duties that were envolved
CT him, as compared with the young
man of today, he can readily see
that the world is rapidly changing
Thirty years ago the young man of
Is was considered a boy and under
the surveillance of his parents. He
was In bed at the proper time, or
at least his parents knew where he
was He respected his fathers judg-
ment and considered it his duty to
help in the affairs of his fathers
business, and listen to mothers adj
vice. He had but little money to call
his own and spent it as he saw fit.
His opportunity fer an education was
limited. The clothing he wore was
crude and cheapiy made. Yet he
grew 10 manhood and can look back
on his boyhood days and of mothers
advice with pride. But the world is
rapidly changing. However, not all
the boys of today are different from
the boys of thirty years ago, but
many of them are different. They
want TO be men before thier time.
They seem to think that the old
mans advice should not be needed.

If you have SIS, or more or less,
for which you have no pre- ssing need,
go and pay debt with it That is
he best use you can make Of money,
Unless you are naked or starving.
Now is the time to obey the Bible
Injunction, lowe no man anything. -
That is in the Bible, but from the
way some debtors spend money they
don't seem to know it or care for
it. If they have a dollar extra, it
goes for a pleasure or convenience.
The duty to pay someone they owe
never occurs to them. Nor does it
occur to them that every unsettled
debt is drag on communi y.
Everybody has to pay interest on it.
People have to pay more for their
sugar and coffee because other PEG
pie owe the grocer and won't pay. It
is one Of the items in the high cost
OF living And then there is a whole
some public policy in scattering the
money around. 1t will help find work
for some poor man and help some
other debtor pay his debt. So pay

The COST OLE MEAL

The aristocracy of meat becomes
increasingly evident. The day of the
vegetarian draws nigh. 1t will come
by necessity to some. The reason is
simple. In ten years the supply of
cattle in this country has been re-
due d twenty per cent in number,
while the population has increase d
eighteen per cent. 1t needs not the
experience or skill of s.atist e an
to account for the present h gh price
OF meat. The juicy steak is rapidly
becoming luxury that only the rich
can enjoy. 1t may be just as well.
There are people who are happy and
prosperous who ne*er touch carniv-
orous foods.

the little end of hard luck when, on
tho evening Of the FIRST rush the
Blues came in and threw him out Of
the hall, but his dependency was

the hall next evening.
The section for which he was pull

cost near $1,000; hence his despon-
dency at FIRST and his subsequent
citation.
