Ask Your Banker.

Everyone should strive to have
bank account, especially every man
and boy, be it ever so small One loses
nothing in the esteem of his employer
and friends by being seen going into
or coming out Of bank. Neither
does the individual lose any self-re.
spect by being seen at bank counter,
which is more than can be said of some
places. There are plenty of good
banks; pick out one and stick to it
and when you are tempted to invest
In some alluring get-rich-quick scheme,
go to your banker and ask his advice.
1t will not cost you anything to do this,
and may save you loss you cannot
afford. 1t may safely be assumed that
II this course were pursued by all of us
the money sunk In swlndles, fake
schemes and impossible enterprises
would be reduced to point where it
actually would not pay to make the at
tempt. Before investing, ask your
banker.-Popular Mechanics Magazine

Wasting Ones Time.

1t Is probable that a large per cent
of the money paid for work in all en-
pigments, public and private, is vast
ed in idling, talking, smoking and fool
ing around. 1t can be noticed every
day everywhere. 1t IS bad symptom,
says the Ohio State Journal. There
is no difference between stealing ones
time and stealing ones money. Peo-
pie are not in the habit of looking at
1t that way. They think it is nothing
to take ten minutes of mans time
for which he is paid three to ten dol
lars n day. If one remembers the old
adage that time Is money, he will con-
clude he Is thief II he takes either.
Character consists in making honest
use of ones time, whether he works
on a salary or by the minute. 1t Is
character that he insist upon, not SO
much the economy involved as the no.
bility Of selfhood. That should be the
treasure of every true man.

No Cross Examination.

In the courtroom at Parsons an aged
woman, who was very deaf, was called
to testify. After taking the oath, the
attorney for the prosecution asked her
to state her name to the jury. She
could not hear the question. He asked
the question again in a louder tone.
Still she failed to hear. A third trial
also failed. The leather-lunged bailiff
tried and he failed. The stenographer
also fell "way ehort." Finally the
prosecuting attorney gave it up and
waived her testimony. The jury, who
had remained as silent as the witness
through it all, turned to the counsel
for the defense and asked: "Do you
wish to cross-eXamine the witness ~

Duty Of Happiness.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy
Is a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling US these days that to
get out of the habit Of enjoyment is
to get depressed in vitality and vigor,
to weaken in efficiency, and to grow
old before ones time. There is moth
ing like laughter-not empty-headed
laughter, but the intelligent, whole
some, kindly hearted kind-to keep
people young and fresh and fit for
business and the obligations of living.
OF course, this is prescription not
easy to live up to always, but there is
no reasonable excuse for not trying to
do 1t. Sometimes it is just about as
easy to be happy as to be miserable If
one makes up his mind to it, and there
is no doubt at all as to which pays
the best.-Onward.

Humorine People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring q man" sounds like
pleasant and comfortable thing, but
when one links humoring with the
question of who makes the money, it
does not seem very flattering to the
humorer or the humoree, says writer
In the Womans Home Companion.
And what lamentable sight is that
Of the humoree, what deep inequality
1t implies and what an absence of any
real respect or understanding between
two people in whose lives humoring
is a part of the daily routine! When
the one to be humored Is woman 1t
may mean that man has been forced
into the craven part of doing anything
for the sake of peace. There are few
concessions some men will not make
to avoid domestic storm. Some I'M
fortunate men there are who even
give up vital friendships, legitimate
forms Of recreation, and even their
own Municipalities in this unworthy
cause.

Woodcocks In London.

Woodcocks, which during the past
few days have been flushed "within
300 yards of the Marble arch" are by
no means such rare visitants to Lon
don as some ornithologists seem to
imagine, says the London Chronicle.
They have from time to time been no
ticed in almost every park or "open
space" that contains sheltering shrubs,
and occasionally during very hard win
tiers or their periods of migration,
they have found temporary refuge
even in the little derelict churchyardS
of the city. At the beginning of the
last century the boys of Westminster
school used to get good woodcock
shooting among the wilds of Chelsea
and Battersea. Most of those young
sportsmen took preliminary lessons
from learned professor who lived
near Deans yard and styled himself
instructor of young gentlemen in the
new art of shooting flying"

Weather Mans HIeroaIyphIes.

Madge had manifested much inter-
est when she heard her father and
mother talking about Egyptian hero
glyphics. 1t naturally followed that
pictures and drawings were used as n
means to make the little girl under
stand the term. One day when she
had accompanied her father and a
guest to see cliff that had undergone
a great deal of weathering, she sur
prlsed them by saying, "Daddie, if the
Egyptians lived hundreds and hun
dreds Of miles from here and no one
ever lived here, then suppose these
are just the weather mans hero
glyphics on these rocks"
