Literally speaking. this is the third

his family
She could neither read nor write, yet
she never made mistake with any of
the messages that were intrusted to
her.
Once, however, her memory did fail
her. One of the ladies of the family
had commissioned her to bring back Il
yard of satin, and the unaccustomed
word had slipped out of Sally's recol-
lection.
She did not allow herself to be beat
en-, however, and made an effort to re-
call the word; so She went into the
principal shop in Galway still thinking

Thrift AS a Tonic.
From the New York Post.


A good many people have wholly
wrong idea of thrift They look on it as
something akin to stnginess. skimping,
parsimony-a habit that naI.rows and
makes little.
Nothing could be further astray. The
nearest verbal relative to thrift is thrive.
Both words have precisely the same
derivation, and thrift in its original sig
1ificance meant prosperity. Today it
means the straiehtest and most certain
road to prosperity.
Ruskin explained at length that economy
mad as much to do with spending money
as saving it-perhaps more. And thrift

New Fields of Gold.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

Kings are gathered again ON field of
the cloth of gold. They are lords, not of
thrones, but of farms. The field? It is
the far reaching eXpanse of golden grain.
These kings are rulers of acre.; over
which peace and quiet brood. No swords
bangle by thread above their heads. No
dreams of fallen dynasties beset them in
the night. They sleep the sleep of the
just. They rise and greet the sun each
day with consciences clear, with hearts
unafraid. with the sense that there is no
stain of blood upon their hands, no
hideous wrong to answer for to their God.
In their retinues on the new field Of the
:loth of gold are honorable knights of toll
-sheaf bearers and threshermen. Hard by
