Give a suit, or coat, or pants,
Boys are giving lives in France!
Give some wheat-we've got to feed

To Tell a Horses Age.

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle nippers you behold
Before the colt is two week sold;
Before eight weeks two more will come,
Eight months the corners cut the gum.
The outside groove will disappear
From middle two in just n year.
In i've years from the second pair
In three years corners" too, are bare.
At two the middle %''nippers' drop;
At three the second pair can't stop;
When 4 years old the third pair goes;
At five a fine full set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from
view
At six years, from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner clears;
From middle ''nippers," upper jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw,
The second pair at ten are bright
Eleven finds the corners light.
As time o on, the horsemen know,
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get-project-before
Till twenty, when we know no more.

Thrift is positively essential to sue
cess, and every American wants to be
successful. y man should put his own
name on his list of creditors. He
should cut down his expenditures 10
per cent and pay that amount to him
self. Any business should pay 10 per
cent, and a man should consider him
self a business proposition which
should pay dividends. When he begins
to see this he will become thrifty. 1t
has been estimated hat If II man who
begins to work at the age of twenty on
a salary of $50 a month and receives
an increase of So Zach year for forty
years will save 10 per cent of his sal
airy and invest 1t wisely or put 1t in a
savings bank at compound interest, at
the end of that time he will be tinan-
cially independent and can retire with
a comfortable income.

This information coupled with Russian publication of an alleged Russo-Japanese agreement to bounce on any nation attempting su- premacy in China created profound impression in official and diplomatic quarters.
 Some allied diplomate were said to favor the Siberian move in view of the possibility of Teuton domination of all the Russias, even the east. They pointed out that the American consul at Vladivostock had said there is need for troops at that port.
 Confirmation of the Russo Japanese pact was not immediately obtainable here.
 However, it was stated that in so far os China is now concerned the Japan csc are discouraging large military preparations in that nation, and that official feelers have been put forward with a view to American Japanese CO., operation in China's military, economic and financal problems.
 President Wilson, 1t was suggested, will be the determining factor in the decision as to whether Japanese troops shall invest Vladivostock, provided that it is the actual wish of Japan, as re- parted no knowledge of the Treaty.
