FASHIONABLE SNAKES.

The snakes in the ZOO were wiggling

Of their cousins were doing the same

When snakes are wild they go to
sleep for tic winter. In the 700 they
nap and sleep Il great deal, but not for
the whole winter through-that is be-
cause they are fed regularly and are
kept so warm.
Now, Mrs, Sally Snake lived III the
country and she had been asleep for
the winter. She stretched herself with
a wiggle and said "Oh. l am hungry
Now I'll have fine meal for the first
time On three months"
There are many snakes who only eat
every three months, and after each
meal they take nap. The maps Of
other snakes are good and long, too!
"And after I've eaten" said Mrs,
Sally Snake "Tll sleep. All, what JOY
those very words bring to my snake
heart-sleep and eat, sleep and eat"
and Mrs. Sally Snake Missed them over
and over again.

shown patriotic organizations in
every state the imperative need of

cruiting Of war labor.
The essence Of the plan rs it has
been given out to the local Federal
State employment bureau calls fo.
the regulated mobilization Of skilled
and unskillod workmen for federal
construction and war work by units
controlled from a national center.
The calling into service Of several

The first money Andrew Carnegie
earned was S1.2O for a weeks work as
"bobbin boy In a Cotton Mill. He was
then twelve years old, but soon became
g messenger boy in a telegraph office 1t
$3.50 per week. When In a few months
more be was receiving $500 q month as
telegraph operator, he says he thought
the pinnacle OF fortune had been reached
for him. Shortly afterwards, on $500 a
month ne invests $50O.O0 in ten shares
OF Adams Express co. stock which paid
him a dividend Of $1,000 a month. This
proved his thrift and laid the foundation
for him to speak in after years with
authority upon this question.

that the saving man is a temperate man,
a good husband, father and a peaceful,
law abiding citizen. Nor need the saw

II takes to provide for the real necessities
OF life. A little home paid for and a few
hundred pounds, very few, make all
the difference. These are more easily
acquired by frugal people than you might
suppose. Great wealth IS quite another
nnd far less desirable matter" He says,
