''Well, I've dcne my best" was the
answer. I've looked in all the local
directories. and the London directory
as well. and there is no such name as
Angina Pectoris. Then l made a thor

A woman looking into corner shop

chance drew up alongside her to look
in the same window:
"Sir are you following me?" she
snapped.
To which the astounded innocent

A Dedication

Frank Vanderlip, former president
of the National City bank of New
York, dedicated book thus:
"This book is dedicated to my six
children, with the hope that they, and
their generation, will grow up pos
sessed of an abundant sympathy with
their fellows, and a sufficient knowl-
edge of economic law, to enable them
to make a liberal and wise contribu-
tion of service to society"

There are certain bees in every hive

A lot of fellows who got $50 E,onus
from the government when they left
the service lost it in poker games to
fellows who didn't join up. Likewise,
lot of people who bought Liberty
bonds are foolish enough to sell them
for less than they are worth to spec
ulators who probably did not buy as
many of the bonds as they should
have during the war.
Jim Hill, who knew thing or two,
once said:
IF you wish to know whether you
will be failure or a success in life,
there is a simple, infallible test. Can
you save money? If you can, you win.
If not, you fail"
All the down-and-outer know Hill
was right, hut how in the world did
he find, out?
The Wells-Fargo Nevada National
bank of San Francisco says in its
Business Outlook:
Large blocks of First Liberty
bonds have been purchased for in
come account by rich estates, large
and individuals. When
it is remembered that more than $21,-
000,000,00O of United States Liberty
bonds were distributed during the
period of war financing among fully
twelve million separate investors,
these securities may be said to have
given an excellent account of them
selves"
The man who owns Liberty bonds
may well think twice before selling
them.
Now that the war is over, what is
the matter with this for a solution OF
our difficulties? Robert Louis Stew
enson wrote it:
ITO be honest, to be kind;
ITO earn a little, to spend a little
less;
ITO make, upon the whole, family
happier for his presence;
ITO renounce when that shall be
necessary and not he embittered
ITO keep few friends, but these

Above all, on the same grim condi-
tion, to keep friends with himself
Here is task for all that a man
has of fortitude and delicacy."

.Artie struggled valiantly to speak
distinctly. "A thou--a thou-a hic !

With considerable slowness and de-
liberation the transaction was made,
and FitZhugh pocketed Arties I o U
for a thousand dollars.

Of the gamblers were ready for bed.
Very quietly Fitzhugh went in turn
to all those who had taken Artie's

they amounted to over eight thousand
dollars, and the ones he himself held
brought the total to ten thousand five
hundred.
FitZhugh was alone in a private
compartment of his brokers' office on
Monday morning when, promptly at
ten, Otis entered. With brief Good
morning." the capitalist came straight
to the point.
You are with us, Fitzhugh?"
"Sit down, Otis. Make yourself COM
Portable. Try one OF these cigars
You'll find them of an excellent fla

Otis took a cigar from the prof
fered case and sat on the edge of the
only remaining chair in the small
room. Resting long hand on his
knee, he tapped his wiry fingers i'm
patiently against his leg. He was a
little annoyed by Fitzhugh's easy cor
diality. He never liked to mix good
fellowship with business.

us?
For all am worth"
"Good!' Otis sat back little far
ther on his chair and smiled his sat
isfaction. Good for you"
what we want most Of all just
now is cash?"
"Yes, and lots Of it,"
Fitzhugh took out his check book,
rested it ON the small writing table,
dipped a pen in the ink. II will give
you my check now for two hundred
thousand"
Otis returned to the edge of his
chair. "We must have at least half a
million now, and perhaps five millions
altogether. l thought we went into all
that Saturday night"
$50 we did. And 1 repeat I am
with you for all am worth"
Otis removed the glasses from his
aquiline nose, and, twirling them on
his finger, looked at the younger man
inquiringly.

he saw the truth. He stood up.

Artie sprang to his feet, and, light
