Man Did Not Follow Principles OF
Thrift-soIe Idea Was to Hoard
HIs Money, Spending Nothing.
A modern Midas of Chicago, who
had accumulated 100000 by never
spending anything, recently was de-
cl2rsd incapable Of handling his AZ
fairs. He became incapable not be-
cause he amassed $500, 900 but because
Of the way he accumulated 1t. He e.
tranged his family, went to bed with
the chickens to avoid spending money
on lights and lived on $55 year.
Then he ran afoul Of the pushing In
come tax law and now his children are
70 handle his beloved savings. This
modern Midas was not thrifty man.
He was q missr True thrift enhances
and increases the wealth Of the world.
Hoarding money benefits neither the
miser nor his fellows. Wise spending
il AZ essential a. wise saving, and
wise investment is as important as
either; wise spending for the comforts
and pleasures Of life as well as the
necessities makes for the thriftiest
HE and stimulates production. Wise
investment makes possible the crse-
ton Of new wealth.
The miser saves but spends moth
Ing. He secures only the nsager sat
isfaction of watching his pile Of money
grow. The wise exponent Of thrift
and sound investment has the COM
forts and pleasures Of life and saves
at the same time. The foolish man
spends his money for what he neither
needs nor really wants; does not at
tain the comforts and lasting pleas
ures Of life and saves nothing.
II the modern m ser Of Chicago had
spent wisely he would have had years
Of comfort and happiness instead OF
years Of squalor and want. II he had
saved wisely he. would have had the
love and respect Of his family and as
sociates. II he had invested wisely
he would have been competent to han
die his own Affairs.
Waste not-want not" 1s still the
modern axiom Of thrift but want not"
must not be Interpreted to mean not
wanting the things that make life
worth the living. Don't be modern
Midas.

INTEREST

Here is what one man did. II you
don't know him you know some one
Just like him In your community.
Twenty years ago hs owned tho
clothes he stood In and that was about
all.
He saved fifty dollars the first year;
the next year, with a little better
wages, ssvsnty-dve.
One thing with another-a wife and
family included-hs has saved an
average Of Eve dollars a week for
twenty years.
What he saved In twenty years was
about i've thousand dollars. What he
has is twice fve thoussnd-like the
man in the parable.
His dollars working for him now
bring him more than his yearly saving.

Apss Have Poor sioht.

"Apes are frequently short-sighted
and require spectacles as much as
human beings do" This is state
ment 81 Prof. Behr. of Kiel.
The professor placed Is monkeys in
a darkened room and after careful
eye inspection found that 10 of the
animals suffered from myopia (short
sight) in high degree. The be
hayiOr of these monkeys was entirely
similar to that OF shortsighted human
beings In Q similar environment.
They approached objects lying on
the ground with bowed head and bent
back and finally they grasped the ar
ticles in their paws and held them
close to the eyes to obtain Q better
view.
A microscopic examination Of the
eye pupils disclosed that among the
monkeys the myopic condition was In

CHINESE PARADISE ON EARTH
Werld heIds Ne Greater Boon Than
Life In the Famous City
Of SeochoW.

The Chinaman expresses hig opinion
Of the city Of Soochow by nurmuriag
ecstatically, "Oh, that may live to
spend my last days in this paradise on
EARTH"
Many Chinamana apparently has
had this wish come true, for the NULL
Der Of suicides in SoOchow is exceeded
only. by the number Of extremely
wealthy and fashionable. The atmos-
phere Of 500 seems to incite the ORR
entail mind either to despair or to Os-
tentatiOus luxury, according to the
state Of his finances.
SOochow streets are always thronged
with women displaying the latest Chi.
nese costumes. or out buying new
ones, and with the dandies Of the other
sex, too, gracefully bored unless en-.
gagged In the purchase of new coat.
Besides these there are the unfOrtu.
nate, who cannot enter the real para-
disc, which 500 offers only to the
wealthy seekers Of pleasure. The
poor mingle in hazy crowd as an
AumUiC UutASAVuuu Ava tnV A"SA"vA ga
rade.
Still another type Of SOOchow Is the
student biirdencd with the ambitions
Of wisdom. The seriousness Of the
500 student is well typified In the two
Pen pagOdas. and the Ink pagoda, SO
called because q student long ago had
them built. as propitiatory Offering
to the gods for success in examine
tions. The ccrkscrew-shaped "pens,"
pointed at the top, are not particularly
penlike 70 the western eye, but the ink
pegoda is very like An odd, made-in-
China 'ikwell, with a curling roof for

nierons windows, which would prevent
Its serving as writing accessory.

Unknown Until Tested.

Some folks are capable Of almost in.
finite possibilities. But the trouble
is these possibilities lie too deep to be
used in ordinary life. They respond
only to the call OF the exceptional.
The challenge that brushes ordinary
mortals puts them In touch with their
life work. Washington might have
lived and died community gentle
man had he not been drafted by cir
cumstances to lead great people to
freedom and cement together the ele-
ments that hesve made this great ma
ton. The name of Lincoln was bound
to become known, but 1t vas the cir
cumstances Of great cause that have
made him the bywOrd for every Amer
lean youth. And 1t often happens that
natures that are hard to arouse are
capable Of the greatest effort when
once fired with q definite purpose.
There's no telling what Is In man I'M
til you have put him TO the test. And
only tested men are ft FOR tie highest
service.

POPULAR CONCERT ALL
THE NAME IMPLIES.

Judging from the number of cat
tlemen present and the prodigality of
applause the concert last night in the
high school auditorium was all 1t
claimed to be, a popular concert
Every one of the performers appar-
entity was in the best of form. The mu-
sic by the high school orchestra was
never better, it might some time have
been more hi-brow, but not better.
Elizabeth Lord who has a beautiful
soprano voice practically the same
might be said about her personality,
delighted her audience with her
songs Hortense Switzer and Bill Nc
Donald are always favorites, and their
rendition of my Sweetheart from
'Maytime," was as good to hear as
their singing always is. The charm
ingly graceful dance by Louise. Metz
ger was beautifully done and brought
forth rounds of applause. Wilson
Keim is growing more popular with
each appearance. The Valck sextette
gave some violin selections which
were delightfully."- rendered and they
showed q degree Of talent not often
heard in violinists so young. Grace
Stortz and the trio of Grace Winfrey,
Allie Atkinson and Margaret Lee in
Mississippi brought down the house.
1t was SO good that when the program
was over no one wanted to go, evident
~ hoping that the popular entertain
ers would be good enough to put on
another stunt" or so. S'R
